It’s a big ask and I am confident in the ability of community and solidarity to get this funded.

About me, I am a 28 year old Trans* Non Binary freelance artist. I have been considering some form of top surgery or reduction ever since High school. I want to live in a world where how we look doesn’t matter but it has real impacts on how we’re treated by society and also my self esteem. I want to be able to walk in the room without my chest entering first, or the thing people notice first about me to be my smile or eyes you know, basic shit like that. I have started researching doctors and procedures and I am opting for a non-flat top surgery, this surgery will not only help me feel more comfortable in my body, it will also alleviate a lot of shoulder and back discomfort I experience being a 38 H. I am definitely Non Binary and want to be able to customize my chest which unfortunately because I have medicaid in Louisiana I don’t have that option. I have to be a transman to have gender affirming surgery covered by medicaid and to have been on T for a year before surgery. I am not on T, this may change in the future but it's not something I want right now. I hope to get this surgery soon and have the support of my big sis who has offered to care for me during my recovery. I am raising funds to cover the cost of surgery, supplies, transportation, and also a financial cushion so I don’t have to work right after I get my surgery. Thank you for reading this and for your continued support, especially folks who bought tees, I was able to raise around 350$, and if enough people are interested, I can reopen the campaign.

With love,

Muse (they/them)
