UPDATE as of 11/11/25 I have been informed by my doctors my insurance is no longer providing gender affirming care , after a year of paying thousands towards my insurance they no longer are providing gender affirming surgery. I am completely devastated and am really leaning on my community to come thru for me . As of now my only options are to completely start over with an entire new insurance taking several months to even longer to get a new surgery date . Or pay completely out of pocket and still have surgery in January I am still waiting to get a estimate on cost but it can be anywhere for 12k-14k or more just for surgery not including recovery as of now I am set on paying out of pocket because I can no longer wait for surgery I have been mentally preparing for a year . With having chronic pain and planning several fundraisers I am completely exhausted mentally, emotionally & physically . If you are able to share and donate I’d greatly appreciate it .

My name is Azra I’m a 30yr old trans man raising funds for top surgery. After many years of anxiously waiting the moment is finally here. My journey has been quite a journey when I think back to my childhood i often remember thinking wow my transness has show up for so much longer than i thought , i always felt different in many ways but could never articulate my thoughts or even knew trans people existed . I grew up in a very conservative religion never being able to express or often have a safe person or place to talk to. For many years i suppressed my sexuality and gender identity which made me feel so small and made me a shell of a person that I’m not . i never imagined a world where i would be safe and truly be my authentic self it never seemed possible in this lifetime, but i could only suppress it for so many years . I would pray for god to fix me and make my normal or to make me a boy and literally had so many dreams of being one . Thankfully i finally feel safe enough to be able to get surgery and am so thankful and privileged to be here .

Thankfully I have found a surgery center thank can accept my BMI it has been pretty difficult but The Kryger institute will perform my surgery . My surgery is the beginning of January.The funds will go directly to top surgery cost as well as recovery ,time off work & monthly bills . I greatly appreciate any amount donated and if you could reshare and post id be very appreciative . Don’t forget gender affirming care saves lives !
