Forest Violets Top Surgery fund, please help
Hello, friends, family and gorgeous lovely people. I really need your help.
I am suffering from severe dysphoria, and dysmorphia of my body. It affects my confidence, self worth and every day life in many complicated and negative ways. It's an ongoing battle I've had for years and years, causing heartache, eating disorders and battles with my mental health.
I am a non binary transgender person, and I desperately need top surgury to be able to have a positive connection with my body. I am unable to wear a binder as it causes me sever joint pain and breathing troubles, I've definitely learned that one the hard way. Ive developed a terrible posture and muscle pain from hunching to hide my chest when dysphoria hits me particularly hard in a day, which is adding to my chronic pain disorders.
The UK is a terrible place to be a poor non binary person, surgury options for non binary individuals both on the NHS and privately are severely limited. I have been on a waiting list at the gender clinic for nearly 4 years, and due to lack of funding, no legal recognition of non binary people, and the covid 19 pandemic I have barely even had a chance to talk to medical professionals about my needs, and when I have I've been met with silences and skepticism. I'm not a trans masc appearing person, and I'm not a trans male, and this has made it, and will continue to make it more difficult to be considered for an NHS and private top surgery in this country.
My plan is to go to eventually get top surgury Thailand, where I have some family support nearby, and a thai speaking best friend/cousin to support me. They have some of the most expert and accessible facilities for transgender specialised surgical procedures.
I will 100% fund my own journey and stay in thailand, but as I'm a chronically ill person supporting a house I'm going to struggle to fund the surgury itself even if I save up for 10 years.
And I honestly dont know if I can live another 10 years with breasts. It nearly kills me sometimes.
I would literally be grateful and blessed for 2 quid from somebody as a gesture of support on this hopeful journey.
Yours gratefully, with IMMENSE gratitude for any support, emotional or financial
Forest Violet
