Hey there.

For those of you that know me closely, you know how important this is for me. Deciding on making a gofundme was a leap, and I’m truthfully pretty scared to put this out there.

For those of you who DON’T know me:

My name is El. I’m a lesbian, she/her they/them who faces constant dysphoria from the size of my chest. This has been a struggle my whole life, but the last two years have really weighed on me. It has sent me spiraling, through immense depression and anxiety. I am constantly asking everyone how well my binding is, which is also a separate struggle because I bind for 8+ hours a day. I know that that is unsafe, but the vision of looking at myself without one feels emotionally unsafer. I am talking to doctors about breast reduction/top surgery, but unfortunately it is a financial burden. I understand it’s a lot to ask, but a little goes a long way. Thank you for reading, for understanding, and having compassion.
