This is as much an apology to the titty gods as it is a request for support. They did so good but I've never been able to properly enjoy it, despite my efforts. I've wanted a flat chest for as long as I remember. When I bind (very occasionally because it causes me a lot of back pain on top of my already chronic back pain) I feel so much lighter being in the world. I've definitely gotten less dysphoric over the years to the point where I don't really mind my chest when it's just me at home, which is great. It's as soon as I have to put on clothes and leave the house that the weight starts setting in. It's gotten to the point where I don't even bother trying to find ways to look nice, I just throw on low-key big black stuff to try drown out my body. I really hope that surgery fixes this. I'm scheduled for surgery on June 6. I haven't been able to save over the past few years because of not earning much from student jobs so I'm looking for some financial support to be able to recover from the surgery without having to stress about finding work immediately or going back to work too soon. It's an odd time to get it in that it's between studying and finding work, but it's the only time I have while I'm still on my school insurance which covers most of the surgery costs. It's a really hopeful ask, and I don't expect to raise all of it, but if you're willing and able to share even just a little bit, anything helps!

Funds will go towards medical bills and associated costs, rent and food for 1-2 months.

EDIT: I found out that I'm due a much bigger surgery bill than I had initially anticipated. I haven't changed the goal amount because it seems unrealistic that I'll even make that but basically my hospital bill is going to be $4100 after insurance. This makes my goal more urgent - proceeds will be used towards this bill.
