I Need Top Surgery ASAP

My dysphoria is off the charts. I've been doing literally anything I can to reduce the dysphoria around my chest but it is way too costly for me to buy trans tape that doesn't work well for me and chest binders that stretch out even with proper washing. Binding regularly makes it near impossible to breath and with my job as a lifeguard it's really unsafe to bind because of how hot the pool room is and the physical demand of the job. I end up having to bind anyway though because daily dysphoria is more crippling than milder dysphoria and some breathing troubles.

I've wanted top surgery since I was 14. For years I've had dreams of getting top surgery and crying when I wake up because it wasn't real. Now at 20 the possibility is finally here to make my dreams come true, for me to resolve my chest dysphoria and back pain, to make me feel more comfortable as myself. I've needed top surgery for YEARS but am just now reasonably able to get it.

If you donate ANY amount of money (a few cents, a dollar, five, ten, twenty, whatever!!) to this gofundme you will get your name personally written on a trans flag that I will share online! Anonymous donors will have their own section of the flag so you can still get recognition without your name being displayed publicly! So far the GoFundMe has raised $255! Through my own savings, the total money saved is a bit past $310.

Can't donate? Reblog, repost this GoFundMe to other platforms. Share with friends who may be able to financially contribute. Just share it around (and be sure to link the GoFundMe too!!).

More Info:

I realize some people are hesitant to just donate money to those they don't know so my ask box is open for any questions you might have about the GoFundMe, but I'll go over the broad strokes here too!

"Do you have someone willing to perform the surgery on you?"

I already have a surgeon willing to perform top surgery on me AND a therapist willing to write a letter to said surgeon to also verify that this surgery is appropriate for me!

"Why is it so expensive?"

The surgeon I chose has told me the price for the surgery itself is $8,500 BUT! My goal is $10,000 because of other costs associated with the surgery! Things like aftercare supplies (things to help with scarring, comfort items, etc), bills (car, phone, pet supplies, student loans) that I won't be able to earn the money for during recovery, and after surgery visits. There are other smaller expenses to take into account as well that I haven't listed. All of those things cost A LOT. I likely won't be able to work for a few months after surgery due to not only recovery time but also my line of work, which is why I'm including them in the surgery cost. All of these things have to be taken into account for the pricing, hence why my goal is $10,000.

"Why can't you just go through your insurance?"

The fuckers gave me an out of date list of surgeons in my area, most of which don't specialize in top surgery or related procedures, and SEVERAL of the surgeons on there are actually deceased. They have been of no further help on this. Of the surgeons eligible on the list, ONE responded (and he was an absolute dick who told me I had to lose weight before he would even consider performing it on me). They also have a load of requirements like being a whole year on HRT (I'm only 7 months at the end of April 2024), having a certain BMI (a bullshit requirement for ANYTHING), and a handful of other factors that I wouldn't be able to meet reasonably soon Truly, out of pocket is the safest and best option for me.

"Why can't you just get a breast reduction?"

What's the point of a reduction if I'm going to bind what's left anyway? I don't want my breasts. They distress me and make me dysphoric. Top Surgery is the best option for me.

"What happens if you don't need all the money you raised?"

In the unlikely event that I don't need all the money I'm asking for, I will likely use it for other important things in my life or donate the money to someone else who needs top surgery. I'll likely donate through GoFundMe, but I'll look around locally too in case there's someone who needs money in my community.

My ask box is open if you have any other questions not addressed here.

If I'm feeling fancy, I'll write the '&', but if I'm writing quickly (like class notes or something) I make a '+' but with the left and top points conmected.

I actually learned that from my middle school health class teacher! I saw her write it like that and pieced together what it meant, tried it out, and it just kinda stuck.

Idk why I can remember that and not what I had to eat this morning.

It's my birthday! Instead of asking for a little treat though, I'm asking for help raising money for top surgery!

If you could donate even a couple dollars to this GoFundMe that would be the best birthday gift ever!

All the money raised goes towards the cost of the surgery, aftercare supplies, bills and other monthly expenses (for the time I will be unable to work), and other expenses that may arise after my surgery.

My goal is $10,000, and between the GoFundMe and my own savings I have over $300 right now! But that's nowhere near enough to cover even just the surgery so I still need help!

Would transvir and transtidal overlap?

I think they could? Transvir is just a transgender gendervir identity, meaning any kind of male-related or male-aligned identity. Transtidal seems to also include male-adjacent identities as well as masculinity. I guess it depends on how the individual defines that for themselves.

What all does top surgery expenses include? Why is it so expensive???

I assume you are referring to my GoFundMe for my top surgery!

It's so expensive because American healthcare fucking sucks. The price the surgeon I had a consultation with told me is actually pretty low considering my chest size!!

The thing that top surgery does is remove the breast tissue from someone's chest, and masculinize its shape to be more gender affirming. The surgery includes a small team of surgeons, anesthesia, pain reducers, and of course a hospital with an operating room. Top Surgery, with minimal to no complications, is an outpatient procedure. This means they do the surgery and then you go home once you wake up and are cleared to leave. You recover at home!

Because it is such an intense procedure for the body though, there's a healing time of (estimated) at least one month before the average person is ready to head back to work. I work a physically demanding job as a lifeguard though, so I may have to wait longer before I'm healed enough to perform my job adequately.

To pay for all that out of pocket is to pay for the surgeons time, the medication/anesthesia they give you, and any aftercare supplies they give you. Those are at least the MAIN things you pay for. There may be smaller portions that go to other things.

The reason I'm asking for more than what it costs to just get the procedure done is so I can have money to pay my bills and other monthly expenses during my absence from work, pay for extra aftercare supplies (stuff that will help the healing process, make me more comfortable).

It is extremely expensive, but what I want done is incredibly important to me, and being able to get that will make me a whole lot happier and improve my quality of life!

[genderfuckerymascedition]

My consultation went extremely well! I'm approved for surgery as soon as I have the funds to proceed!

If you can, please donate to this GoFundMe! You all have helped me raise $255/$10,000!!

My surgeon has said the price is $8,500 but I'm still aiming for $10,000 (for good reasons I promise!) I expect the healing to take about a month before I'm safe for general activities, but that's at least a month of bills, pet supplies, food, and other expenses that have to be taken care of. There's also doctor visits that I'm unsure if I'll have to pay for out of pocket or not (and it's better to be safe than sorry). I also have to consider aftercare supplies such as a mastectomy pillow, scar care supplies, OTC pain meds, and other similar supplies. I need to make sure I have all the money required for that prior to my inability to work so that I can guarantee that I'll be able to care for myself without falling into debt because of it.

All of that and more has been factored into the goal I have set. While I am saving my own money as best as I can, everyday expenses stack up which makes it difficult to save any amount for this (my name and gender marker change are part of this reason, though not all of it), which is why I'm asking for community help. If you can PLEASE share this GoFundMe with anyone who may be able to help me reach my goal.
