Help Adrian With Their Top Surgery
Donation protected
Hi! My name is Adrian. I am a 20-year-old nonbinary transmasculine BIPOC. My pronouns are he/him or they/them.
I have been on testosterone for nearly 14 months, and my dysphoria with my chest has been getting worse.
I’m a drag king and have been binding since Nov 2019
(occasionally would use duct tape as a last resort because that’s how badly I wanted my chest to be flat)
**do not bind with duct tape
I am unsure of what my insurance will cover - our past one did not, but we just got a new one and I have been trying to schedule a call to see if it will.
The plan is to have double-incision with no nipple grafts.
My goal is to have top surgery before I'm 21 - February 22,2022.
The past year, I was budding for transportation which made everything messy and difficult (college, work, appointments, etc)
Now, I have my car with me, but I still have college, marching band, and my dog which leaves me no time to get a job.
My only source of income is drag, but that now comes with a cost on gas and resources.
Unfortunately, my parents do not approve of this, so I will not be having any financial help other than insurance.
I wouldn't be asking if I thought I'd be able to reach my goal on my own. I have no idea how I’m going to afford this. All I know is I need it to happen.
If insurance does cover a portion of the cost, I will reduce the goal value and/or donate to other trans folx that are in need of surgeries -- queer trans bipoc to the front.
I will also reimburse everyone that donates after my recovery.
*I will update this on milestones regarding this procedure.
Every dollar is appreciated.
