Help Maddie Day Get Gender Affirming Surgery!

Hello and hi! I’m Maddie, and my body doesn’t match my brain. Having considered this for a brief 26 years I concluded in 2021 that I was not the biggest fan. So far, my attempts to address it have included psychologists, psychiatrists, Reddit comment sections, speech pathologists, GPs, bartenders, hormones, crippling anxiety, and new hair colours… And you know, it’s all helped me enormously, I’m genuinely so much happier and more whole now! However, some things just can’t be fixed with a healthy surplus of oestrogen and wishful thinking, which is why I need your help! The very last step for me is bottom surgery (If you’re unfamiliar, the procedure is called a “vaginoplasty”) but this is a huge, huge step, and here’s why: • It’s VERY expensive (~$30,000 AUD) • There are only a handful of Australian surgeons who do it • Australian surgeons aren’t trained in the most up-to-date techniques, andddd; • I only want to do this once! Thankfully, there are overseas alternatives; some of the best surgeons in the world are from Thailand, and I’ve been lucky enough to reserve a surgery date with Dr. Chettawut at the WIH International Hospital in Bangkok, on November 15th THIS YEAR! Dr. Chettawut is a world leader in this kind of surgery, he uses the most advanced methods and has performed over 3500 in his career, transforming so many lives in the process! So please join me in this journey by donating whatever you can and help make my dream a reality!
