Hey friends and dearest community!

I’ve decided to start my campaign again after a long hiatus and getting by in the pandemic.

This is teta chop 2.0 !

At the start of the pandemic I was cut off from hormones and had major delays in my gender affirming surgeries.

Now I wish to ask for community help in securing funding for surgeries and procedures that will keep me on the road to succeeding in my transition, which will be life changing and are absolutely necessary for survival and continuing to flourish in community.

Some of you may know me from my work in nightlife where I’ve contributed much time and energy to causes that I feel very passionate about. All of these efforts have been made possible with the collaboration from my fellow peers and queers.

As I turn a page in the next new chapter of living I set my focus and goals on taking time to finally make my gender affirmations self-acualtized with your support, all a reality. It’s been a very long journey and it doesn’t stop here. And I could not secure this without the support of my family and my community.



I am graciously asking for funding to undergo top surgery ( double mastectomy) and body masculinizing surgeries, which also requires an abdominal surgery to repair complications from two previous abdominal surgeries and relieve the pain caused by them.

I am a person living with a chronic autoimmune disease AS (seronegative spondylitis) which means I will need to take time out to make sure my body is in full recovery, so I can come back even stronger!

Taking a break after surgeries is absolutely necessary for me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually so I can fully heal and then resume my work and passions in my community organizing. 

The funding donations received will go directly to:

Surgical procedures
Full double mastectomy
BMS Surgical abdominal repair
Follow up medical care and medical expenses Support for livelihood
(Family care support, housing, food)

I am a parent and freelancer working in the gig economy. I would be unable to work directly after surgery and while I am healing. I have a family that needs my support and that care must be accounted for with assistance.

As it is, private insurance doesn’t cover the cost of these surgeries. I’ve currently been paying for the cost of hormones from my own pocket. Having now been back on hormones has shown me that medical transition is what is absolutely necessary for me holistically.

 I am grateful for all the many wonderful people I am surrounded by in community who have and continue to support me in my gender affirmation journey and thank you for being able to contribute too and share this fundraiser!

I am currently under the care of doctors and surgeons in Berlin, along with primary care and specialists to keep me on track during the healing process once I undergo my procedures. I’ve set my surgery dates set for this fall!  I am so excited and ready for this next huge step!

Thank you all for your loving care and support! It would be great to reach the goal with community support! Please donate and if you’re unable please share if you can!

 Onward to transitioning and healing!

 Thank you! So so much!

 Much love and care for all - rafi
