Hi!!

My name is Tyler, I’m 22 years old.

I’ve been living as a trans man for just about 10 years now so, since I was about 12 years old, I’ve felt this way my entire life and have been living to the fullest of my capability with what I can do to feel and be myself but,

as we all know, everything costs money and I’ve been paying to live the life I need.

I’ll start from the beginning,

I came out as transgender to my whole family one Christmas when I was 15 (a nice present for everyone )

I had the support of a lot of my family but obviously had a few bumps in the road, there was a lot of clashing that took time and effort to smooth out but I had my parents by my side to defend me along with my little sister who was my day one supporter, she would give out to the wind if it blew too hard at me and I could never thank her more for being the little gem she is.

not long after coming out I went to change my name via deed pole and I was finally able to legally be myself.

Then came the NGS the National Gender Service, possibly the worst health service I’ve ever had the chance to come in contact with,

6 years I waited to be seen and when I finally got my appointment I had to wait another year to be prescribed testosterone so, bit of a rollercoaster trying to get the gender affirming care I needed.

but anyway to skip to the now,

I’m asking for help to get top surgery, it’s a surgery that will quite literally change my life, it will be a surgery that make me feel wholly and authentically myself and will relieve nearly all of my body dysphoria and when I look in the mirror I’ll see me, who I’ve been trying to see for a long long time.

dysphoria has taken over a lot of my life and has made things unbelievably hard, I find it hard to look at myself most days because I’m stuck in a body that my brain has no connection to.

I need this surgery for my physical and mental health to thrive.

i understand the current times are tough for everyone financially but, even the smallest donation will help me get to the goal I need to reach and I will be forever grateful for your generosity, if you can not donate at all, I ask you one very important thing, please share my link, repost and spread it as much as possible to friends or family, Any type of action to help me get this out there will be appreciated more than anything.

i would not be asking if I felt I had any other choice so please, if you are in anyway able, help me become the man I know I am.

thank you so much for listening to my story.
