What's up people of the world!! My name is Fry and I'm a 24 year old transgender man living in a vamped up shed in the Southwest of England. Landscape gardening and working for the NHS is how I pay the bills.
It's taken a while to write this as I struggle with the vulnerability of it because obviously in the dream world I wouldn't have to ask for this but here I am.
Working in a hospital battling COVID on the frontlines has shown me firsthand how stretched our NHS is but it still hurts putting so much of my life into treating people and yet being unable to receive treatment for myself.
I have known from the age of 6 that I wasn't like the others in my class. I didn't fit in with the girls in my year and as I grew up I prayed for the day I'd wake up and feel like one of them. But of course that day didn't and shall never come. I am proudly trans and I want to live as close to my true male form as possible.
I understand it's okay to ask for help now. My transition, like many, has had twists and turns, ups and downs. As I am writing this, I have been waiting nearly 4 years to receive a letter from the gender clinic which I was referred to back in January of 2018.
I spent a lot of last year waiting for my appointment pinning my happiness on this. Waiting and more waiting. This did me no favors mentally. I have and still do really struggle with dysphoria and complete dissociation of self which ultimately wears me down.
My friends would say I'm very good at hiding this but it doesn't mean it's not going on, the pain just goes unseen.
I was able to independently start hormone therapy over a year ago which has been great, however my chest is a massive trigger for my dysphoria/dysmorphia. I need them gone. I need male reconstructive surgery on my chest so I can be closer to my true self and live more comfortably.
Reaching out has been difficult, but with support from my friends and family I have found the courage to write this. Money leftover from the cost of surgery will go towards recovery and therapy. Any support is HUGELY appreciated.
Big love,
