I live with intense autism, complex trauma, and years of pretending to be someone I’m not. I’m tired of fighting myself, living in shame, hating myself... and honestly, I’m just tired of not being able to function like an adult. It’s like the closet of self-denial and self-harm came with me on my transition journey.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is something I’ve needed for a long time, but I haven’t been able to access it... not safely, not consistently, and not without help.

These funds will go directly toward beginning my hormone therapy journey, and also help me stay safe and stable as I navigate this transition.

Now, with trans people under attack more than ever, I don’t want to wait any longer. They’ll have to pry the hormones out of my cute girlie paws.

I fell out of the closet at the end of 2020, and while I started socially transitioning, I didn’t really know how to take care of myself. I didn’t grow up learning how. Since then, I’ve been stuck. I’ve grown, sure... but I haven’t given myself the help I need.

This is me trying to change that.

If you’re stuck too, maybe this is your sign. I know this is mine.

If you’re able to help me start HRT and get unstuck, thank you from the bottom of my trans, autistic, traumatized little heart. I’m not going anywhere. I want to stay... and I want to live.
