Z's Surgery

Donation protected
Hey everyone, I'm Michaelangelo aka Zhawa, an afro-native trans man from Milwaukee who recently moved across country. I can remember questioning my gender identity and expression as early as the age of 6, I began my journey of transitioning in early 2013 and started hormon replacement therapy in 2016. Once I started living in my truth I felt free of many mental burdens but still carry physical ones. At an early age I was using unsafe binding practices to ease dysphoria which has left me with a permanently deformed rib cage. For the safety of my health I have not binded for over three years, but in turn that has left the dysphoria to return. After a few life changes I had to put my plans on hold but am now able to continue the process. I plan to have surgery under Dr. Javad Sajan in Seattle Washington on June 16th 2021, who will perform double incision mastectomy. All donations will cover the procedure, travel, and recovery expenses. Much love, Z
