Hi, I'm Jaz (they/them), many of you are my friends, family, and/or acquaintances and you already know, obviously, I'm trans!

What many of you might not know, and some of you might not understand, is that I have intense chest dysphoria. I've been ignoring it for years, I tried to talk myself out of what I wanted for a long time for fear of disappointing or scaring away others but as I crest 30 years alive on this Earth, as I've tackled asserting myself in every other regard during it, as I watch a hateful fascist regime target my trans siblings and my latinx family, I'm tired of bullshitting. I will not pretend it's all fine and so much more importantly I am going to do something about it.

I'm not rolling over for any god or gov't, I'm doing what I want and I'm doing what is right for me, what everyone deserves to be able to do in a just society.

I can explain what dysphoria is like for me, how there's a literal physical disconnect from my head to the rest of my body, how it feels to have such a strong mental image of myself and to not see that person reflected on the outside, but it's 2025 and if you haven't heard about this from someone else already I can only assume you've been living under a rock. We've seen statistics on trans mascs and top surgery before, we know how gender affirming care is life saving care, we know trans regret is low, I shouldn't have to explain myself to you. I hope you hear me clearly when I say I need this, because I do need this.

The full cost of the top surgery is way more than what I'm asking for here ($14,000-15,000 total), I'm trying to split the funding so none of my finances get hit too hard but any amount you can donate will help immensely.

To anyone who does donate or share: I love you, thank you for listening to me and seeing me for who I truly am, thank you for helping me fight to make that happen.
