Help David get some things off his chest

Donation protected
I feel at a loss as to what I am meant to write, so I guess I’ll start with who I am and why I’m starting this GoFundMe.
 
Hello, I’m David. I’m a drag artist, I’m a nerd, I’m a universal drag dad for many, I like to sew, I love animals and I’m trans.
 
I came out as trans when I was 24, and started medically transitioning when I was 25. For many years I had hormones that helped me live my life as a man, but one thing stood in my way. Well, two things really. Breasts.
 
The cost of having surgery was overwhelming and I couldn't afford it. Every time I started to save money, something would happen and my savings would disappear. I felt I could be fine if I lived my life without surgery. Then the hormones I was on had a shortage and as I watched much younger trans folk struggle to get them, I stopped. I felt like I was “past the time” that I should be on them, and that using them was taking them away from someone who needed them more. I didn’t think that I was worth it.
 
The day I got my first chestplate I cried. I looked in the mirror and saw who I should’ve been. From that date onwards I was rarely without it. Even when the weather was 39° I was in it. I couldn’t bear to be without it on me, I didn’t feel complete.
 
For those who know me, know I give so much to everyone around me. Sometimes even at the expense of my own mental health or self worth. Anything that you could give to help me be myself, I would appreciate more than words will ever be able to say or describe.
 
For those who don’t know me but have stumbled across my GoFundMe, all I can say is that anything you give, whether its sharing this link or donating $5 will go towards helping someone feel like they are human again, and not an imposter trying to fit in.
