hey guys! i really feel like i’m losing my mind at this point & i need top surgery to be happy and healthy mentally and physically.
i’m xander, i’m an 18 year old trans man—more importantly, though, i’m an aspiring mortician, a poet, and a friend! transitioning has literally saved my life and given me a sense of peace iver never experienced before. i know that i have so much more life to live but i’ve hit a brick wall in terms of my transition.
i bind for a few hours every day and always carry a sports bra with me that i can change into if it gets too much. i follow every rule in the book about binding but the fact remains that it’s still really unsafe and my body is a testement to that fact at this point. my ribs are bent out of shape and i have chronic pain from them even when not binding. i live in texas and i overheat and have passed out more than once from not being able to breath/how hot binders are.
i don’t wear a binder at work and this is starting to get dangerous the longer i’m on testosterone and have a visible chest because i live in the deep south. i hate living in fear so much.
even if i was physically fine and not in any danger i would still need top surgery because of how dysphoric i am. my quality of life would skyrocket in so many ways if i could raise this money.
if you can’t donate anything—that’s fine! just pass this along if you don’t mind 💖 even if you don’t rb this thank you for taking the time to read this
