Hi guys!! This year has been all about saving for my top surgery and I can finally say that the light is at the end of the tunnel. I’M SO CLOSE!! I started this campaign about a year and a half ago living in Portland, Oregon where my rent was so high that saving adequately for this operation was simply not an option. With that said, I made the trek back to Albuquerque, New Mexico, my home, in order to afford/make this surgery a reality. Finally, a year later, I am nearing my goal to set my surgery date with Dr. Peter Raphael in Plano, Texas in January/February 2018. I am continuing to save through the completion of the year with what my budget will allow and the remaining balance which I am posting here is the rest of what I need to be able to receive my surgery by the set date.

The breakdown of these costs includes the surgery itself, my required medical stay in Texas, and a few necessities that I need to cover as I will be out of work for a minimum of 8 weeks after surgery. My partner is generously taking off 2 weeks off of work and covering the remainder of our bills/rent for the following 2 ½ months during and after my operation. Please share of donate if you can! I’m so close!

This is the sign that broke my heart.

Trans kids are not a threat.

Happy Valentine’s Day. Why don’t you celebrate it by spending more time with the glorious #BlackGaySlay hashtag

Queer people came out in force on Saturday in front of Stonewall Inn to protest members of the Trump administration like Betsy Devos and Mike Pence

Today on 1/27/17 Trump closed America’s doors to refugees, indefinitely, banned immigrants from several countries, suspended the Visa program, and effectively left untold numbers of people stranded–including those with Green Cards and especially those with no where else to turn who had already been approved to come here.

It is not a ban purely on Muslims, just on specific (majority Muslim) countries, so there’s a chance it could hold up in court.

He signed this executive order on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Even if he didn’t understand the significance of that, I have no doubt Bannon and the other nazis on his staff did. 

This is monstrous.

27 January: International Holocaust Remembrance Day

On this day we honour and remember the nearly 21 million innocent souls who fell victims to hate racism and prejudice crimes, nearly 7 million of which were slaughtered for being who they were.

6 million Jews (1.5 million of which were children)

96 000 - 220 000 Romani

270 000 People with disabilities (be it physical or mental)

14 million civilians, caught in the crossfire, famine and ugliness of war from all over Europe.

This day is an important reminder of what once was and what should never be again.

May their rest be more peaceful than their life and may their memory be a blessing.
