help a disabled trans person get top surgery
hello all!
my name is sharky, my pronouns are they/it, and i am trans and disabled.
i moved away from my abusive family a little over two years ago, and currently live on my own, barely surviving off of the disability pension. being on said government benefit means i am unable to save any sort of money to put towards what would be a life saving surgery. being autistic - for me personally - means i am unable to bind my chest as it causes sensory overload and meltdowns. i am also unable to use any sort of tape as i am highly allergy due to a genetic connective tissue disorder. the gender dysphoria gets worse every day, to the point where i am so depressed and have contemplated doing some drastic things.
top surgery is around $15000 aud (approx $9.5k usd) without insurance, and there's only a small handful of surgeons in south east queensland (i think 3?).
even if you are unable to donate, sharing would be so helpful, because maybe, just maybe, it might reach the right person.
