Sabrina's Medical Transition

Donation protected
Hey Y'all,
My name is Sabrina Bispe, I am a 24 year old Male to Female (MTF) Transgendered woman born in Bucaramanga, Colombia, residing in the beautiful Houston, Texas. This is my Story…

As long as I can remember I have always been different, I've yearned for more; I knew I was born in the wrong body. At a very young age my gorgeous birth mom died of cancer. I was blessed to be taken in by my Aunt and Uncle, who will always be my Mom and Dad for me. I very anxiously came out as Transgendered to them about a year ago; knowing that it would be a difficult experience, as they are both religious Catholics each coming from foreign countries. You must be asking why I came out so late? It’s because, I was scared. I was scared, I was going to get rejected and be excluded from the family that I love and owe the world too.

As many of you know transitioning is not an easy procedure. It requires a lot of patience, understanding, and money. This has not been an easy process for my parent’s, especially my father. However with patience, time, and positive energy I hope for him to come around and accept the person I desire to be inside and out.

I started my (MTF) journey a couple years back when I started dabbling in Drag. Once I saw myself in the mirror for the first time after transforming myself completely on my own, I knew this was not just a performance, but a lifestyle change. A change I had always repressed from fear and anxiety. I am tired of living in fear and regret. We only have one life to live, and I intend to live the happiest of lives, for myself and others. I want to spread my new found respect and positivity for one’s life and share it with anybody willing to listen. I have built my own foundation of support from my close friends and younger family members, which this holiday season has just expanded to basically all my family accepting me and respecting my decision, excluding a select few.

Finding happiness and learning to forgive has been the hardest lessons I have learned, and I still yearn to learn and experience this more every day. I want to Thank You for taking the time to read my story; this is only just a selection of my trials and tribulations as I do not want to make this a pity story. I believe everything that happens in this life is a blessing in disguise, even if we might not know it yet. My journey has made me the woman I am, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

I am reaching out to anyone willing to lend a helping hand in my medical procedures. A frequent setback for Transgendered youth is the cost of transition; it is a very expensive process. I know $70,000 is quite a large sum to ask for so let me break it down for you.

Deciding to transition into the other gender is not an easy or quick process; it takes psychological therapies that can costs thousands of dollars a year. A process I have already begun.

A set of reconstructive surgeries that modify the male features to represent more natural feminine features is called Facial Feminization surgery. It costs anywhere from around $25,000 to $50,000, by board certified surgeons qualified in this field. This is not for vanity issues but for mental self-acceptance, and safety issues. The Transgendered community is still targeted by aggressive discrimination and physical and verbal hate, once completed the ability to blend into society allows me to be safe from the target of these individuals.

Another procedure will be my Breast Augmentation that costs around $5,000 to $10,000 depending on the surgeon and implant wanted. Last but not least will be my Gender Reassignment surgery. Only select doctors in the world are truly experts in this field, and choosing the incorrect one can lead to tragic results. This is one of the most expensive steps in the transition process and costs roughly an upward of $30,000. In addition to the actual procedure, one must also include expenses for pay and travel costs if a good surgeon does not live in your area.  

I want reiterate that my soul, heart, and brain feel 100% female now without any of these procedures, I am just simply filling in the blanks to live an authentic life as the woman I truly am. The only change that will happen is my outwardly appearance, I will always be the same soul you have grown to love, just displayed in a different shell.  Zodiac Cancer Pun :)

Once again I want to thank you for taking the time to read about my story. If you donate towards my procedures, know that I am eternally grateful, and every little bit counts. I will constantly update everyone with my transition process so that y’all can see the happiness you have brought me by donating and even just reading my story.

Positive energy my friends and know that I love you all.

Sabrina Bispe.
