Sirieko's Transition Fund
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Buya Sirieko. I'm a two-spirit transmasc autistic person from Borikén. I would like to ask your help for my gender confirmation surgeries, and in my general transition.
I was raised in a conservative Christian cult. My life has definitely not been without difficulties, as I felt an intense discomfort with my body as it progressed in puberty. Back then, I was also dealing with repercussions from abuse I suffered as a toddler. In my mid-teens, through online queer communities, I was able to start identifying as genderfluid and non-binary. Transness to me came as an answer to a question my spirit had been asking. However, as I was still in my childhood cult, I was forced to hide this part of myself, and later became convinced that it was the will of God that I censor my dysphoria in order to focus on living my life as a woman, starting a nuclear family with a white American missionary I had met while in my cult service.
Four months before the wedding was set to be had, in a panic, I ran from my abusive (now ex) boyfriend, his family, my own family, and the cult. I met my current partner through language exchange, and after chatting with them for two months,, they offered to buy me a ticket to live with them in a new continent. I thought the serious risk of moving to a new country with a relative stranger was better than staying in the United States.
Since leaving my past, I have connected to my spiritual side, joined a Yukayeque (tribe) to honor my indigenous ancestors, and have been working hard to transition socially. But I need help.
I don't have my family's support, and I came to this country with no visa, no money, and no job. It has been 3 years, and things are looking up. But my dysphoria makes it near impossible to live my life freely, as I intend to do. It is debilitating to my core, and I am tired of living like this. Most days, my dysphoria keeps me from even reaching out to friends. Because of a lung-related disability, I can't regularly wear a binder or anything similar, so I desperately need a medical transition.
I would like to be free of my past. I would like to live in my body. I would like my body to belong to me. I'll be putting money in this fund whenever I can, but I don't currently have any income and still need help from the outside.
Jajõm in advance for your help in donating and sharing!
