Hey I'm Ray, I'm gay, I'm a they, and I'm trying to get top surgery! I need to raise some stupid money to do it, but I believe in the power of community.

As long as I can remember, having the chest I do has limited my life in more ways than I can identify. From avoiding certain clothing like tank-tops, wearing multiple layers, limiting my beach visits, wearing binders that hurt after a certain amount of time, and not taking baths, I have always been affected by the dysphoria I experience from my chest. Top Surgery will give me a level of physical comfort and freedom that I have never experienced.

Anything folks can give makes a huge difference. I will remember the generosity of my people and find ways in the future to reciprocate the love and aid I receive during this time. Thank you for being in my life and helping me live as I truly am. It means the world to me, especially during these times.
