Crowdfunder Show hasn't added a story.
I'm going to the Community College of Rhode Island and majoring in fine art to be a teacher. I have been on Testosterone, give myself a shot of it in my leg since January 2013. I also got my name changed that year. I am the first person in RI to get my gender changed on my birth certificate without surgery first. The one thing that I still desperately need is top surgery so I won't have to deal with dysphoria.
Dysphoria is the feeling I get when people use the wrong pronouns/name, looking at myself in the mirror, people calling me names, or looking at me the wrong way for being transgender. I always knew I was a boy I just never told anyone. In grade school I would stand up when they asked the boys to stand.
I wanted to play sports and play videogames but I was ostracized. I really want to go on the beach shirtless. I am very involved in my community and eager to make a difference. I live without my chest binder but not without getting beating up and taunted. Some of my family disowned me. I want to pass as myself. I don't want to prove my happiness, my gender, my pronouns or my name. I want to help all the transgender kids, even by showing them that it is possible, to dream of a day without dysphoria.
Nobody should have to go through what I've been through. "Ask and you shall receive.", "The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else." I didn't choose to be this way. I really don't want anymore trans people to die from ignorance or suicide. I tried to commit suicide four times. Insurance won't pay for my surgery, please help me get one step closer.
Donate 1$, even that will help. I appreciate what you can do, spread the word. A share (by mouth, email, Twitter, etc) is as good as a donation. All I want is equality. And of course, no more moobs. Please help, thank you for your support, I couldn't accomplish this without you! Whatever you can afford will help me. Please show your support in this journey.
