Friday's Feminization Surgery Fundraiser

Hey there!

I'm Friday (she/they) and I'm a transfem queer in the PNW. I freelance for a living as a professional game master for tabletop games such as Dungeons & Dragons and Vampire: The Masquerade. I also run a game design business out of my home where I produce queer and sex positive books such as Vineyard RPG. My other hobby is my podcast and blog Dollars & Dragons, which is a free educational resource to help other folks make a living wage running their own business. It's admittedly difficult with the economy for many folks within the tabletop industry as designers or other folks with regular jobs to make ends meet. Reducing the accessibility of running a small business for people to make ends meet while also leveraging their passions is a joy of mine.

Unfortunately, because I am a freelancer I do not have access to affordable healthcare. Between running my business and supporting my family, there is very little room in the budget for me. Every time I look at pictures of myself or see myself on camera, I'm immensely self conscious due to gender dysphoria. Things are not as bad as they were pre-HRT, but seeing the way I imagine myself is something that I do want.

Currently I do not dress fem in public because there are a lot of stares in the rural community where I live. While no woman is valid on the metric of appearing more feminine or not, some of the aspects of the surgery are for my safety, so that I am not subject to public harassment.

I'm asking to have some assistance to cover the following procedures:

Hairline lowering - $12,500

Tracheal shave - $6,500

Brow lift - $6,500

Burrow bone - $2,500

Total - $28,000

These would only cover the surgeries themselves and I would be out of work for near a month because of the reduction of my adam's apple - meaning that any more over the goal would go toward paying my bills. I'm advised to speak less for a certain amount of time while the area around my vocal cords heal, so while I can write, the lion's share of my bills are paid using my voice hosting games.

Thank you for considering my fundraiser and please know anything at all helps! (Sharing and spreading the word is also supporting!)
