My name is Declan, and I came out as a trans man a year ago. For the past 11 months, I have been on testosterone, taking steps toward living as my authentic self. Despite this progress, I still experience intense gender dysphoria every day. This dysphoria impacts my mental health, my ability to work, and my social life. I was scheduled to have top surgery on April 8, a procedure I have been looking forward to as a crucial step in my transition. Unfortunately, my insurance just denied coverage for the surgery, leaving me devastated and unsure of how to move forward. The thought of not being able to have this surgery is overwhelming, and I am genuinely afraid for my mental health if I cannot proceed. The funds raised here will go directly toward my surgery costs. I need to pay a significant amount before the surgery can happen, and without insurance coverage, I can't afford it on my own. Every dollar will help me get closer to finally feeling comfortable in my own body and improving my quality of life. I am reaching out for support because this surgery is truly life-saving for me. Your help would mean the world, and I am deeply grateful for any contribution or for sharing my story. Thank you for being part of my journey and for helping me take this important step toward living fully as myself.
