Masons top surgery
Donation protected
Hello,
I’m Mason Van Leer, I am 26 and FTM transgender with dysthymia. I came out as trans 6 years ago, started taking antidepressant/anti-anxiety medication, and now I’m finally able to begin living MY life.
For most of my life, I had been living with a very controlling parent who is not only homophobic, but completely against me transitioning. So for the majority of my transition, I have been on my own. My support system now is my girlfriend and a few friends.
I’ve been on T for about 7 months now. It would be almost two years, but I had some medical issues (that turned out to be a mistake) that delayed my transition. I’ve been saving for the last two years, but unfortunately with everything that has been happening, it’s hard to save for top surgery. I hate asking for help, and was against making a gofundme for a long time, but my chest makes me so dysphoric. I can’t wear certain shirts and don’t want to leave my house 90% of the time because I feel so uncomfortable. I want to feel comfortable in my skin.
I’m trying to have top surgery as soon as possible. I probably will not have insurance any time soon, so I would appreciate any help and support I can get. Even if you can’t donate, I appreciate you taking the time to hear my story.
