Help Trans Person Afford Surgery
Donation protected
This GoFundMe is on behalf of a trans person in the community who needs to stay anonymous for safety reasons. We’ll call them X from here on out as a pseudonym.
X discovered a lump in their pre-top surgery chest several months ago and after the lump grew to the point of causing pain and making it difficult to bind, X was sent for evaluation by a specialist.
The specialists ruled out the lump being a cyst and diagnosed the mass as having abnormal growth that requires full removal and testing.
While X waits for surgery, the mass continues to cause pain and makes X unable to bind in any way, leading to distress and dysphoria. Additionally, the experience of navigating breast specialist centers and ultrasounds has been difficult as X does not present as a woman.
If the mass is benign (what we are all hoping for) then X is hoping to have top surgery soon after to avoid having to go through this again since the lumps may recur. The surgery alone can range from $3500 to $9000, not including additional expenses. X does not have insurance that would cover the surgery or the additional expenses.
If they find that the mass is not benign, then there are further steps that X will need to take for that worst case scenario and X will need the funding to support themselves and their partner for what comes next.
