Help Jamie Rose Access Gender-Affirming Care

I’ve always loved the Dolly Parton quote, “Find out who you are and do it on purpose.” It says so much about what it means to be a person and how sometimes it takes a little work to be your authentic self. Work that is always worth it and should be celebrated.

Jamie Rose, a beloved member of the Sapphic literature community, knows who she is and has so purposefully set out to live her most authentic life. As a trans woman living in the southern part of the United States, it has not been easy. With the Trump administration coming into power, Jamie has decided it is time to get bottom surgery before attacks on trans people - especially trans women - make it even more difficult to be her authentic self. As gender-affirming care is not considered essential in the part of the country where Jamie lives, her insurance will not be covering the cost of the procedure or the travel essential to receiving the care she needs.

That is where we come in.

This fundraiser exists to help Jamie pay for the costs of her surgery. It should not be so difficult - or expensive - for a person to simply be who they are. Let’s help make it a little easier for Jamie.

All proceeds from this fundraiser will go to Jamie to pay for her medical and travel expenses as she accesses the medical care she needs. Jamie and her family will donate any funds remaining at the end of her care to an organization she will announce at a later date that helps trans people in the South get the care and support they need.

Thank you so much for your help. We need each other now more than ever. It's such a gift to be a part of this community and to be able to help when we can.
