Hi, my name is Jae and I am trying to raise money to transition privately. Right now I am only raising money for appointments and hormones. When I was 14 I realised that I was born in the wrong body, ever since then I have identified as male and dreamed of being able to live freely and comfortably. So far that has not been the case. I am wanting to transition privately as I am currently 20 and still have not been able to have an appointment with the gender clinic. Unfortunately I cannot afford to do this myself as someone working on minium wage and renting a house. Since coming out I have dealt with many hardships from both myself and people around me, this situation has badly affected my mental health, I often feel as though I am not myself and everyday I struggle with being disgusted and uncomfortable with my physical apperance. This had greatly impacted me and made me cause harm to myself and those around me unintentionally. Being able to transition will genuinely turn my life around, I will finally be who I feel like inside. I know it will not solve all my problems or be an easy process but it will help me in so many ways.
