Hi, I’m Becks. Like many other trans people, I face administrative and psychiatric barriers to accessing healthcare.

Public waitlists are years long with dehumanising processes. This has left me with no other option but to seek treatment privately. Facing a cost of living crisis where I increasingly need to budget day-to-day costs, saving enough money by myself to access the healthcare I need is simply impossible.

I am asking for help in raising money for top surgery. Anything you can spare would help. My goal is £9000 which will cover the cost of surgery, the costs associated with travelling to and staying at the hospital, and aftercare.

Binding every day physically hurts and is taking a psychological toll on me. I want to turn 30 next year feeling like myself without losing any more time being hindered by dysphoria. My family and friends have been incredible in their support of my transition, and I only wish healthcare systems afforded me the same support.

Everyone deserves healthcare. I do not deserve to be unhappy in my own body, and I want to live a life filled with trans joy.

Le grá,

Becks
