Hello, my name is Oliver and I'm 30 years old. I am a nonbinary human who is fundraising for top surgery. I have been on testosterone for 5 years but it'll be 6 years on December 5th. I've wanted top surgery for a very long time but with finances and living paycheck to paycheck it just hasn't been something I've been able to do.
I experience gender dysphoria which is classified as a distress one feels when their biological sex doesn't align with their gender identity. I have been diagnosed with gender dysphoria since 2019 and have felt it long before that.
Top surgery would greatly impact my quality of life and my mental health as it's been hard for me to do things recently. I have a surgeon and we are pushing it through insurance to see if they will cover it but I also have a letter of support from my hormone provider and my mental health provider.
Top surgery for me would be a bilateral mastectomy with nipple grafts and recovery time would be roughly 2 months for my job but aiming to go back in two weeks on light duty if my job will allow it. Top surgery has been a big thing holding me back from living my life and I'd just like to finally feel whole in my body.
Thank you for reading!
