Top Surgery For a Top G(ina)

Hi, my name is Gina. My friends call me G :)

I’m non-binary, 27, and I’ve wanted top surgery since the day my boobs first appeared.

While I already look great in a vest, you wouldn’t believe how great I’d look without two lumps hiding my stellar physique. My binder has got me through the last 9 years of gender dysphoria but it’s finally time to yeet those teats once and for all. I’ve been on the infamous NHS waitlist for gender affirming care for the past 6 years with no end in sight.

I cannot wait any longer.

The Surgery

As private gender affirming top surgery in the UK costs upwards of £10,000, I’ve made the decision to have my top surgery abroad where costs are lower. I’ve spoken to the wonderful Dr Cristina Brasó at the Clinica Brasó in Barcelona, Spain. She’s well known in the trans community for the quality of care she provides and is renowned in her field.

The surgery that I require is a double mastectomy, which at this clinic costs €6,550 which is approximately £5,600 as of the time of writing. I estimate that travel, accommodation, medication, equipment, prolonged recovery time, and follow up consultations will bring this total to £8,500.

My partner and I have been trying our best to save for my top surgery (which hasn’t been easy!) but we need your help to get to the finish line. You’ll get to help a great cause and piss off JK Rowling in the process!

Why This Surgery Matters To Me

I've experienced gender dysphoria for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories are of asking my family if my willy had grown in yet (lol). I didn’t feel that my body represented who I was. I didn’t fit in growing up because I didn’t want to be seen as a girl but I wasn’t seen as a boy. I secretly loved it when strangers in public would assume I was male.

Once I hit puberty, this stopped happening.

No matter how masculine I dressed, how short I cut my hair, people would see my chest and think they knew who I was.

Today, I consider myself non-binary. I know that I’m not a “woman” but I’m also not a “man”. I’m just me. I want to put on a t-shirt and not feel like it’s on someone else’s body. With this surgery, I can become the genderless Adonis I was always meant to be. ;)

If you have anything to spare, even the price of a cup of coffee, please consider donating. It would change my life for the better.

All my love,

G xx
