Help Jordyn get his top surgery!

Hi, my name is Jordyn and I’m a transmasc youth from Canada.

I’ve always felt out of place since attending my last years of middle school. I had different interests from the girls in my classes, but I wasn’t boyish enough to hangout with the guys. For a while, I just assumed I was a Tom boy. But growing older meant I learnt knew things, and in my first year of high school I discovered the queer community, and what it meant to be apart of it.

I started with looking into my sexuality, and then gender. I quickly realized that the uncomfort I felt in my own skin for years had a reason. I knew I wanted to be a boy for a while, starting with trying out new pronouns, switching from she/they to he/him in a drawn out while, and then to convincing my mom to let me cut my hair short, and transitioning into masculine clothes. I came out to my mom, the my step dad, and I was fortunate enough to have the most supportive and loving parents I could’ve asked for, and they’re helping me set up this gofundme so I can love my body.

I got my first binder in my tenth grade of school. My mom had bought me it and I’d never been able to look at my chest in the mirror like I could that day. I still wear binders, going into my last year of high school.

Binders aren’t comfortable. For someone as young as me, the back pain is chronic and I feel I just can’t wear them for as long as I could a few years ago, especially when I am staying in my binder after 8 hours of sitting in a desk. It’s restricting and becomes difficult to breathe after a while.

Even though my binder makes me feel much more comfortable about my chest, I don’t feel I can rely on it forever, and I think it’s time for me to take my first step into medically transitioning and make myself feel at home in my own body.

I’ve spent years dreaming of what it would be like to be able to walk out my own home without crossing my arms over my chest or to go swimming without a shirt and to feel water against my chest without being reminded of the body I’m trapped in, so I’m taking this step.

Surgery is expensive and I am not in a place to pay for it all myself, and I’m going to need a lot of help. All funds will be used towards the surgery and any amount is appreciated and valued.

Please help me make my body a home.
