Iʼve raised £2,398 to help fund LJ's top surgery
- Funded on Monday, 18th September 2023
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
In the time I've been on the waiting list for the gender identity clinic, the waiting list has gone from 3 years to 5 years for a first appointment, and then several more years for surgery. It's hard to feel like I can make any progress like this.
I don't want my life to be spent waiting, so I have opted to go private, but private top surgery costs a lot.
Top surgery can cost up to £8000 privately, and there are additional costs like a gender dysphoria diagnosis, travel and recovery time/expenses. So I'm asking for help x

2 years agoSurgery was entirely uneventful! I'm not recovering with a friend and the pain is minimal. Post op is in a few days and I'll finally see the big reveal.

2 years agoSurgery is scheduled for 6th December - I'm going to be able to do it with the support I've received here, from external donations and from not having a social life for the last year. Any donations now will help to make the future a little more comfortable. Under 3 weeks to go! 🏳️⚧️ I wish I had more exciting photos to update with, but here is a picture of me coming home from my pre-op appointment with a comically placed sign that is almost my surname.

2 years agoI got my gender dysphoria diagnosis! The gateway to surgery is now officially open. I have a date booked for early December - thankfully they offer a payment plan and I will be able to use the money raised here as a significant deposit which will hopefully make monthly payments afterwards manageable. Thank you to all who have donated so far. Here's a pic of a wallaby eating out of my hand x
