Donate to Ross's Life-Changing Top Surgery

Hi everyone!

My name is Ross (he/him) and I'm finally getting top surgery! But I need all the help I can get.

Since my early teens I struggled with my gender identity being respected by others, and after going back in the closet then coming out again during COVID, it still took years for loved ones to understand how much I needed this procedure to thrive. I came out again at age 19, started testosterone at age 21. I didn't officially receive a gender dysphoria diagnosis until I went through mental health partial hospitalization at age 22 after graduating and feeling a lot of hopelessness surrounding my future and purpose while struggling with dysphoria and navigating the job market on the spectrum. As I begin to "pass" as masculine, it puts me in an awkward position with having a chest. My gender dysphoria is much better now but since I've been binding for many years now I've begun to have tension in my upper back and some crackly bones. Besides that I just need to feel the joy of feeling complete in my own skin. I can't wait to wear crop tops and other fun outfits that display the truest spectrum of my gender identity.

Being able to afford this procedure would open so many doors for me. I can't wait for you all to see the person I blossom into after I heal from this procedure. Physical fitness has always been something I've been eager to explore but again, but chest dysphoria really holds me back. I also can't wait to enhance my performance skills as a drag king, as that's been a passion that's kept me going.

Any extra money I receive will go to living expenses, but the goal is how much I need to cover copay at this time. Thank you so much for helping me out!!
