Support Beni's Journey to Gender Affirmation

Help Beni Afford Top Surgery (and Maybe a Pastry After)

Goal: $3,200

Hi, I’m Beni.

I’m transmasc, chronically chill, and currently wearing the same beanie in 80% of my photos.

I’m raising $3,200 to help cover my top surgery — because even though gender is a construct, dysphoria still charges rent.

Right now, I work part-time, make zines no one buys, and spend too much time at coffee shops pretending to write my memoir (spoiler: it’s just one Google Doc titled “ugh”).

Where the money goes:

Surgeon consultation & deposit

Post-op supplies (compression gear, pillows, vibes)

Uber rides to/from surgery because biking home after top surgery is not the trans hero’s journey I’m trying to live

Probably a celebratory cinnamon roll I’ll cry into

If you’ve ever:

Felt like your body didn’t get the group chat memo

Avoided mirrors because they’re rude

Or layered 3 shirts just to feel “meh” instead of “please no”

Then you get it.

Help me align the outside with the inside — or at least make summer slightly less unbearable.

Thanks for reading. And if you can’t donate, sharing helps too.

I appreciate you — like, emotionally, not just algorithmically.

— Beni
