Hey everyone, I am fundraising for my top surgery. Consult is in July. I'm on ACA insurance so if the current stupid dumb ass bill passes as is I will lose coverage for my gender affirming care. So I am planning for paying for top surgery out of pocket.

If you have enjoyed my work all these years and if it's made you feel anything about your gender please consider donating even a small amount and please please share! My chest is my biggest source of dysphoria and the biggest thing that clocks me as trans so I will feel a lot more comfortable and safe if they're gone. Also if you show my the confirmation that you made a big donation ($100 or more) I will send you some artwork (currently TBD)

Please, don’t let our fathers be crushed in death lines. Don’t let us grow up among the ruins of life. 🙏❤️‍🩹

I’m Zeina, and today I turn twelve years old. I was supposed to celebrate like I used to in past years…

My 12th Birthday… No Cake, No Gifts, No Laughter

My dad would always prepare little surprises for me—delicious cake, a gift, maybe a new toy.I was the spoiled child of the house, and my joy meant the world to my family.

But this year is different.

This year, there’s No celebration. No cake, No gift, not even a candle to blow out. This year, there is war… famine… and fear that steals sleep from our eyes. I’m not crying over a cake or a toy—I'm crying over something much more important… "My father".

The man who always held me tightly is now at risk just by stepping outside to get us food. We fear he won’t return—only a body wrapped in a shroud.

We will not allow him to walk into death traps. We love him, and we want him to stay alive. We simply cannot bear to lose more.

Most of you will not answer "I would rather die" although some of you will say this.

Once again I would like to draw your attention outside the box, to a child living in suffering, famine, displacement, malnutrition and anemia, a beautiful child who is no more than 13 months old, and since her birth she has been suffering in the midst of the ongoing war in Gaza. when I spoke to @zinaanqar16 today they are fine and alive, but the situation is still very bad and difficult and needs your support and help.

I would like to address your living consciences and your humanity to stand by Ronza, donate now to save a family in Gaza.
