SHIT I LIKE

Hey all. I've finally bitten the bullet and created a fundraiser for the final step in my transition. I haven't really been able to reach any kind of audience before, but my hope is that circulating this as much as I can will help me inch closer to a final goal. I'm poor, working-class, and without real ability to even create a savings account to save money.

I have been binding for 12 long years and I am getting tired of the physical pain and mental discomfort. I really, really want to feel like top surgery is a possibility.

I understand many cannot donate, but please share my fundraiser, please help me reach the largest audience I can.

I desire very deeply the final step in this process - I feel discouraged and broken whenever I see that many others within two years of hormone treatment are able to somehow afford top surgery and live their lives in peace. After a nearly fatal beating at my job, I have realized more than ever that I am in danger every day I continue to rely simply on my hormones. I want to be safe and I want to be finally comfortable in my skin after so many years of hiding.

Is this the companionship they write about in books?
