Hello! My name is Christina/Judy Jaramillo. I’m 22 and getting top surgery.

My chest has always been really big, which I despised. It was and continues to be a major source of insecurity for me. I thought the breast reduction I had in 2022 would be enough, but unfortunately my breasts grew back. Since my chest grew back, my body image has suffered, and I’ve experienced severe body dysphoria. As I've gotten older, I’ve come to realize that I identify as nonbinary and have a strong desire for a masculine/androgynous look with no clear gender preference. My chest has never looked right on me, and I’m glad I am taking the steps to get the gender affirming care I always knew deep down I needed.

Even though I am making every effort to pay for the surgery, the cost is overwhelming, especially because I still have bills and rent to pay. Anything you can do to help would make me very grateful, no matter how big or small. Or if you have gone through a top surgery, I would love and appreciate any tips or knowledge you could give me. I’m getting this surgery done no matter what, because feeling like myself and being happy goes beyond however much debt I’ll be in :) Thank you for reading and thank you for your care.
