Help me raise money for my gender affirming surgery

Hello guys,

I’m Azra, a middle eastern migrant trans woman from Berlin.

I have been transitioning for 3 years now and I’ve experienced amazing changes. So far my life has improved a lot, but I still struggle with passing as a woman all the time, which makes me feel very dysphoric and uncomfortable in daily social interactions. I receive stares and comments in public and constantly find myself in unsafe situations, especially in public transport, taxis, government agencies and many other situations. Unfortunately, German insurance does not cover facial feminisation surgery for trans women. It’s a lot of money that we have to pay out of pocket. Especially for people like me that weren’t born into social and economical wealth, it is almost impossible to reach this goal.

I am currently also paying for electrolysis and laser sessions out of pocket so my facial and body hair is eliminated.

This is already a big financial burden for me and I’ve asked my insurance to cover these costs but they declined many times. I’ve been through very hopeless times because I felt so powerless. For me it was very hard to take my friends’ advice to create this Gofundme. I hate being dependent on others but at this point I don’t see any other way.

I would be so utterly grateful if u could donate something and / or share this Gofundme with other people so I can finally reach my dream.

Sending much love,

Azra
