Hii, I am in desperate need of Gender Reassignment Surgery, however struggling with autism and adhd I am unable to earn enough money on my own to achieve this. So I am reaching out for help! I appreciate any support ?
My name is taylor and I have been transitioning for roughly 3 years now. It’s been a tough road but also one filled with life lessons and good things too. I was always asked early on if I was getting “the surgery” and I would just reply that maybe if I’m lucky enough in the future that I would but for now I’m happy with how I am. The reason this was my answer was because I feared that if I accepted the fact that I needed the surgery and wasn’t able to access it I wouldn’t be able to live a life in this world. Knowing my financial situation in a way I was protecting myself, but also neglecting my needs. It wasn’t until recently that I slowly accepted that I do in fact need it. It was terrifying. I realised how much depression was sitting beside me everyday because my body is wrong. Struggling so much socially already I realised this issue was making my life and social efforts even harder. I didn’t want to be selfish and I understood the reality of my situation so I continued to smile and made myself believe that it was never going to be an option for me. With attempted suicide, addiction and self harm as a result of this personal issue I face I finally decided I need to take action for my life and those who love me. Now after months of therapy, talking to my friends and mum I am allowing myself to be okay with needing this surgery and regardless of obstacles, fighting even harder to get it. Being unable to work because of my autism/adhd I unfortunately am relying on financial support from family, friends and the general public to make this dream come true.
I have chosen to fly to Thailand for this surgery due to their experienced surgeons and more accessible options. The procedure includes a trachiel shave and SRS costing $13,000 usd ($18,560 aud). The only added cost is flights, which will round up the overall cost to $20,000 aud.
I am beyond thankful for any donations I receive through trying this because I know it’s an issue that many might not understand or even support. However this surgery would be life changing for me, in all aspects. I have so much love for everyone in my community and my family/friends for supporting me over these hard years ? thank you!
