Help my son get puberty blockers
Donation protected
This is what my son has written:
“Hi, I’m 14 years old and I’m transsexual FTM. This means that I was born a girl but have always identified as a guy and am now socially and medically transitioning. The goal of this GoFundMe page is to raise money for me to go on puberty blockers. My eventual goal is to go on testosterone (the main male hormone) and therefore have a less distressing life, emotionally and socially.
I came out at about 3 years old, with the insistent “I’m not a girl”. A decade later, in October 2017, everyone finally realized what I was talking about. There were signs all throughout my childhood, mostly dismissed as games I would grow out of. I refused to do anything remotely feminine, in case it made anyone think I was a girl; which they already did, so my logic was greatly flawed. I was actually somewhat misogynistic at some points, since I shouldn’t have been a girl, and obviously that meant all girls sucked. Grew out of that one, thankfully. At about ten, I started telling people I was “half-boy, half-girl” and got genuinely offended when my mum told me living in a boy’s body wouldn’t be as good. That’s literally all I wanted in life, aside from cats. Thanks mum. (Disclaimer: My mum accepts me, she just didn’t know I was trans at the time).
So anyway, I would be a lot more comfortable in life if I could access puberty blockers and therefore eventually testosterone to help the world perceive me as male. I have been on the waiting list for the Tavistock gender clinic for 19 months now, however it seems to be getting longer if anything, and I need this treatment as soon as possible for my mental health. My family cannot afford to go private on our own, so I’d be immensely grateful for any spare money you may be able to donate. Thanks for reading, and have a nice day :)
Fun fact: When I was little, my gran thought I was genderfluid.”
