If you've never suffered from gender dysphoria, imagine how deeply disturbing it would be to wake up with someone else's face. The worst part is that no one else seems to notice.
Gender dysphoria is living with this feeling every day since hitting puberty. I always see a stranger: a man. That's what drives me to go through the long, arduous process of transitioning.
So deep stuff aside, I'm a trans-male-to-female person living in Scotland. Due to my very supportive wife Amy and I both being disabled, we pretty much live on her part-time salary, surviving paycheck to paycheck and struggling to eat, pay rent and bills.
Fortunately, the NHS offers free hormone treatment and other support, and after waiting years I have finally been receiving such since early 2020.
Unfortunately, my NHS Gender Identity Clinic doesn't offer facial feminisation surgeries, so no matter what I do, I will continue to look in the mirror and see a man that isn't me. This has led to rather a lot of dysphoria, self-loathing and depression for me that I've struggled with for years.
I try to stay positive and remain as politically active as I can to support trans folk, and I receive a horrendous amount of transphobia online; ultimately, I feel I have to find as much happiness as I can.
Any help at all towards my facial feminisation costs, DIY HRT and breast surgery would be so lovely, and appreciated greatly.
