Help Me Get Top Surgery
Donation protected
I've lived through six years of dysphoria, and I'm ready to stop hiding in oversized sweaters.
I identify as nonbinary. And because I identify neither as male nor female, transitioning can be hard—and getting insurance to consider any surgical procedure more than just “aesthetic” is made impossible. I’m beyond happy that we were all able to make Charlie’s surgery a possibility , but now I’m ready to take steps to eliminate my own dysphoria.
Because I do not identify as male, I don’t want a masculine chest. But because I don’t identify as female, I don’t want an excessively feminine chest, either. The solution for me will be an almost-completely-flat breast reduction surgery. This will help me have the flexibility to present as masculine or as feminine (or as androgynous!) as I feel, by the day.
If you are looking for some artwork, I'm an artist who is also doing commissions to help save. I make everything from large-scale abstract paintings to character design to portraits! You can check out my website for examples of my artwork and to contact me about a commission.
Whether you can donate $5 or $50, I would be eternally grateful. I will be saving what I can spare from my own paychecks in addition to whatever I receive from this fundraiser + commissions, so the grand total of this fundraiser will likely not be as much as it is now. But ~$8,000 is a lot, and I need help.
Thank you all for your continued support!
