Zoeys FFS fund
Donation protected
My name is Zoey and I'm a 20 year old trans woman from London England studying psychology at University seeking additional financial help for my transition
All my life I have felt out of place and like there was something wrong with me as a child i would identify more with my female peers and go to sleep at night wishing i would wake up and be a girl. When we started to learn about puberty in school and I was faced with the knowledge that i would soon develop masculine features like facial and body as a sign that i would develop into an adult man knowing this terrified me.
I remembered watching a BBC documentary about a trans teen who transitioned young and went on to live a happy life and realised i wanted that for myself. However i would often be teased at school and by my siblings for my natural feminine traits and asked if i was gay being an impressionable child this caused me to believe that me wanting to be a girl was silly and that i was just gay instead. Fast forward a few years at 14/15 i came out as gay to my fa family and friends however it didn't feel right to me, living my life as a gay male wasn't who i wanted to be then i realised that i had never really thought of myself as being a boy before and then continued to explore my gender and how i expressed myself to world this lead me to coming to the conclusion that i was a trans girl.
Many trans people will talk about them realising they're trans as a freeing experience however for me it felt like the complete opposite knowing that i was a girl but looking at my body and seeing male genitalia, broad shoulders, body and facial hair was extremely upsetting to me. My family didnt understand what i was going through and thought i was too young to know who i was and how i wanted to live my life this made me fall into one of the most depressing moments of my life where i would often fantasise about ending it all but i always hung onto the thought of me being in my early 20s happily going about my daily life
The overall purpose of this gofundme is to raise funds for my breast augmentation and facial feminisation surgery which includes getting a neck lift, brow bone reduction, brow lift, chin reduction as well as forehead reshaping. My goal is to get to 10k worth of donations so I can get the surgery as well as pay for costs during recovery and consultations with the surgeon. I know this seems like a lot but a donation of any size is greatly appreciated. And I know you all must have a lot on your plate with current events like COVID and donating to various Bail Funds but even if it's 1 pound ,1000 pounds or just sharing this on social media your generosity is going to go far in helping me become who I really am. Thank you so much for reading xx
