I'm Cornelius, an artist, traveler, community organizer and activist. I have spent many years struggling through poverty to be able to get to the point in my life where i am able to get top surgery. My dysphoria and discomfort has been debilitating throughout my adulthood. I am so happy to be able to put that behind me.

right now, my life is extremely chaotic. i lost my living situation and job suddenly, i have been fighting the system for a new prosthetic leg to replace my ill-fitting one and my disability has caused me immense pain and reduced my mobility greatly. i am 2 years recovered from long-term alcoholism, and i am struggling without housing, though i am thankful for my friends whose homes I've been bouncing between.

i dont know why it took so long to clear my surgery; because of that, if i dont get it done quickly my medical clearance will expire, so my surgery date is jan 29th.

i have some serious medical trauma from my accident that took my left leg when i was 13. i am honestly terrified, and i don't have time to emotionally prepare for it. I also don't have any way to generate funds while I'm healing. I have dedicated my life to community work, i hope that my community can support me during my healing process so that i can come back to my work in full force with my cup filled! thanks for reading, i appreciate you!
