Help Isa get top surgery!

kære community

Jeg laver denne indsamling for min rigtig gode ven. Da de forhåbentlig skal have deres gender confirming operation, i september 2022, men de har ikke pengene til det. De har deres første konsultation med Reformklinikken Malmö her i april, som de har ventet på i fjorten måneder. Da de bestilte tiden havde de, de 40.000,- svenske kroner det koster. Men pga af de både er blevet snydt af det boligselsskab de boede hos, så de ikke fik de penge tilbage som de skulle have, samt en masse uforudsete udgifter. Plus manglende handicaptillæg til deres su under praktik. pga deres diagnoser er det svært for dem at gå på deres drømmestudie og arbejde ved siden af samtidig. Hvilket derfor gør det svært for dem at at spare op.

De har været igennem det der dengang hed seksologisk klinik i dag kendt som CKI i København. Hvor de var åbne omkring at de er non-binær, måske overvejer at bære et barn og at de ikke ville starte på hormoner, hvilket normalt ikke er taget godt imod. Men alligevel kom de til en samtale med en kirurg, hvor de havde en meget grænseoverskridende oplevelse. De har ventet på at få sin top op i otte år og det har ikke været muligt af få det igennem det offentlige, da de ikke passer ind i den binære trans identitet og deres diagnose gør at de ikke kan lyve sig igennem systemet. Deres dysfori påvirker dem så meget, at det påvirker dem mere og mere psykisk og det gør at de har svært ved at være tilstede i hverdagen. Hvis de fik støtte til deres top-op ville det gøre at de kunne være i verden på den måde som de ser sig selv. Min ven kommer på ingen måde fra en økonomisk velstillet baggrund hvilket vil sige at de ikke kan låne pengene af deres forældre eller andre familiemedlemmer.

Så det vil gøre en verden til forskel hvis du ville støtte min ven til at få den top-op som de har ventet på.

Dear community,

I’m starting this fundraiser for a dear friend because they hopefully will be receiving a gender confirming surgery in September of 2022, but who unfortunately doesn’t have the funds to pay for it. They have their first consultation with Reformklinikken Malmö this april, which they have waited for, for 14 months. At the time of scheduling this consultation, they had the 40,000 swedish crowns that the surgery costs. After being cheated by their landlord, other unforeseen costs, and their disability financial aid being made unavailable during their internship period, they no longer can afford the surgery. Due to their diagnosis, they have difficulty working while pursuing their dream education, and can therefore not put aside extra money each month.

My friend attempted to receive care at CKI (formerly known as seksologisk klinik) in Copenhagen. During their consultation period, they were very open about being non-binary, that they are considering bearing a child in the future, and that they do not want to receive hormone treatment, which is usually not received very well at the clinic. Despite this, they were able to receive a surgical consultation where they had a very uncomfortable experience which crossed a lot of their boundaries. Afterwards they were removed from the clinic’s system.

They have been waiting for eight years for top surgery, and it has not been possible to receive it through the public healthcare system. Their dysphoria affects their mental health so much that it is has been difficult to be present in everyday life. If they were able to receive support for their top surgery, it would mean that they could be present in this world as their true self. My friend does not come from an economically privileged background which means that they cannot borrow money from their parents or other family members.

It would make a world of difference if you could contribute to my friend’s fundraiser so that they can receive the top surgery they have been waiting for.
