When talking about transgender people and their transition, most often attention is put onto the physical, the body, the clothing, the visual…. but the root of a gender transition is not about fashion, or conventionalised beauty. What I’d like to bring your attention to is that a trans persons transition is ultimately about achieving functionality in society. The perception of oneself is altered, through the altering of the self, allowing for a freedom of expression. Or if those desires to express are already free, and I would say a lot of my expression is honest.. it causes stress, anxiety, fear, due to cultural/societal resistance. I share this with you because I’m transitioning away from negative feelings born from gender dysphoria, and the next step is a big one, and I need your help.
Beginning HRT in 2016 was a big initial step in me finding a comfort in this body. I had tasted freedom unlike I had ever before. My goal continues to be transitioning towards peace within myself, allowing the confidence I feel warmly inside me to shine out, enabling my participation in the culture I live within. I want to participate, but I’m holding back due to constant dissonance between the gender I want to express, and the gender I am perceived as and therefore treated as. This perception is what I must alter, and I’ve learned I don’t have the power to change the societal filters people see through, but what I’ve embraced is that I can continue to work my material, my body. And with this acknowledgment, I’ve found the courage to ask for help to achieve my goal of undergoing gender affirmation surgery.
The $20 000 I ask for is only half of what I must make to pay for the surgeries I wish to undergo, but this will be an enormous help, and allows for massive change. It's most likely going to be a process of having procedures once I've become financially able. For every transgender person, these surgeries can be a little different. Some trans people don't want them at all - whatever makes that person find peace and comfort within their body is what they pursue. The procedures I wish to undergo are known as FFS (Facial Feminisation Surgery) and is a common desire amongst trans women/ femmes who wish to undo the affects of testosterone on their faces which occurred throughout puberty. In theory, I will resemble more closely how I would have looked had I begun hormone replacement therapy pre a testosterone fuelled puberty. And this excites me so much! This is what is driving me, knowing that I will see myself in the mirror the way I imagine myself laying just beneath the surface you all see. These surgeries will literally set me free, from this body which veils my potential.
If you think it’s worth me bettering myself, thank you! I’m so grateful for you reading these words, and for the continuous support and care I’ve received throughout the past few years, as I’ve shared parts of my story on various platforms. What I need for the next stage of growth to occur is money. And I would appreciate so much some love and support in the form of dollars to drop into my wishing well, and when it’s full my wish shall be granted !
My transition has been my biggest project ever. It has contributed to every thought, every step I’ve taken, since I stopped treating my gender like a weed, and allowed it’s beautiful fruits and flowers to fill my garden and nourish me. I’ve tasted possibility. And understand my potential. Before I begun this journey, every mirror was veiled in dust, but at last I see myself with clarity, and I long for the vision I have of myself to match my reflection.
I intend to make changes however I will, so I can get on with my life, to at last jump this hurdle. Asking for your help is the next most affective action to take on my journey.
Thank you x Milo ♥️
