Help Octavia Recover from Facial Feminization

Hey, it's Octavia! I am getting my second gender affirming surgery at the beginning of May! This is something I've contemplated before I ever even popped a whore moan pill. I have finally made the decision to do what some what consider the most no-return operations besides TheSurgery™. 

I am having facial feminization surgery. This is a series of procedures meant to make me feel more comfortable with- and affirmed by the femininity of my face.

I will need to take 2 to 3 weeks off of work to recover from surgery. These funds will go towards copays, food, recovery materials, bills, and rent. I lack a broad support system, so these funds will also help serve as a safety net and empower me to have things (food, supplies, etc.) delivered when I might not be able to have someone bring it to me.

Any donation to this campaign is an investment in helping me attain a higher quality of life as a Black Trans Woman.

Please donate to a real bitch. Thank you for your help and consideration. My Cash App and PayPal are below, followed by more context if you need it.

Many people have asked me, "Octavia, what the hell are you gonna do to your face?" Others have expressed that they think my face is feminine enough already. 

I am not getting this surgery because I don't think I look feminine. I am not getting this surgery because I want to look like a cis woman. 

I am getting this surgery because it will be the difference of me being content when I look and the mirror and me constantly feeling uncomfortable with my reflection. Although passing is not always the goal (and let's be real, a lot of times it certainly is) this surgery will also put me in closer to proximity to safety by reducing masculine features in my face which may cause others to question my womanhood and become aware of (clock) my trans identity.

I love being trans. But it's not always safe to be read as trans. This surgery will serve as an extra buffer for the disclosure of my trans identity.

Since my childhood I have had a complicated relationship with the mirror. Now, I understand that I was dissatisfied with looking like what most people would perceive as male. I began my gender journey with the understanding that I was neither a man nor a woman. Then, I proceeded to essentially live my life as a woman during my brief college career in Ohio before I returned home to Baltimore. My experience as a non-binary individual was one of constant denial. I was denied not only the freedom to safely explore gender outside of the binary, but also denied the privilege to be recognized and respected as a woman. Competing territories, I once thought. After reconciling my needs and desires, I accepted my womanhood and my non-binary as interdependent of- and complimentary to each other.  

At this point in my journey as a non-binary trans woman, having a more feminine face would make me feel more free to explore clothing options. Some days I want to give Soft Feminine Cunt and other days I want to give Powerful Dyke. Some days I want to switch between both. But I literally never want to be perceived as a man...even if sometimes I might feel very masculine. 

I just want to be happy.
