Please Help Me Transition So I Can Finally Live!
Donation protected
Hi there, I am trans and im living in Scotland and I really need your help medically transitioning, both inside and out. I know that it is possible to transition using the NHS but for me, that is not an option. Currently, the waiting times on the NHS are upwards of 2 years and in some places 5+ years, I honestly can't wait that long as its severely affecting my mental health. I am asking for help with paying for laser hair removal, aesthetics, gender-affirming surgeries (including facial feminization, body feminization, post-op medical aftercare for recovery). I urgently need your help so I can finally begin my life.
Gender dysphoria is exhausting and debilitating. You might think its silly but even the little things are hard to do sometimes like having to constantly shave all the time, for me body hair is a big thing that gets to me and it's honestly eating away at me. It's gotten to the point where I can't even look in the mirror or even take pictures of myself because it causes me too much pain. You have no idea what it feels like to discover things like makeup for the first time and having the ability to feminise your face to some extent than to discover feminizing filters on Snapchat, let's just say it make it a lot easier for me to post photos of myself online.
I just want for one time to be able to look in a mirror or see myself in a picture and not hate what I see.
I’ve tried to be “normal” but it never works the more I try to push these feelings away they come back stronger each time and I honestly feeling like I’m drowning some days, I can’t hide anymore.
Transitioning is a long and hard process not to mention expensive. If I were to do this using the NHS the best-case scenario is having to be on a waiting list for over 2 years and some of the worst-case scenarios are some people wait upto 5 years just for an initial appointment and then waiting for months again for things to get started so I really want to do this privately but as I said it’s expensive. I honestly can’t wait 2 years as I’ve been dealing with this myself for a couple of years now anyone who knows me will know that but the idea of waiting 2 years is killing me, my mental health is already suffering.
I would never normally ask this but if you could help out and donate whatever you can, nothing is too little it will help me on my journey to become who I really am. You have no idea how much I appreciate this and how grateful I am to have such amazing people around me.
