Willow’s Last Chance to Transition

Hello, I am Willow.

Since I began my transition over six years ago, I was thrust into a war of having to defend my very existence.

I sped up my transition in order to blend in. I know that I owe no one any form of conformity to a societal gender norm, but I did it for my own protection. Transitioning during the time of Covid made me a double target.

I learned how to fight not only for my trans family, but for all peoples in the LGBTQ, even the ones who did not want me.

And then I learned that I had to expand my knowledge to defend those in need.

I have volunteered, I have given speeches, I write articles in Substack called The Midnight Watch https://substack.com/@willowtabithakawamoto?r=eljoa&utm_medium=ios

I reach out to new trans siblings, and I do not stop. I live my life continuously looking over my shoulder, and I realized that I have not even had the opportunity or the time to enjoy being a transgender woman.

I literally work to survive…

I work up to four jobs, taking on as many side hustles to just make rent, and I don’t know if I can even finish my transition with the state of the union.

I’m afraid that I am on my own and asking for help in a time when everyone else is trying to survive is asking a lot.

But this is my GoFundMe.

I am asking to raise $30,000 to cover my costs from pre to post-surgery and to be able to recover without having to immediately go back to work.
