I feel... fucking weird asking for this. I hate it, even, but I think it might be a good way to go about it. I'm kind of sick of where I am and I want to push something towards that so uh...
OKAY SO; for those of you who may be new to my friends list and didn't know, I have Gender Identity Disorder. I was born a woman and I'm becoming a man. Physically, that is. Inside, I've pretty much always been one. I've been trapped in the wrong body for way too long and I need to get out of it. The thing is, it's expensive, it's hard, and I'm not sure when I'll be able to do it. I want to as soon as possible but... I don't know.
I decided to make a PayPal donations thing so I can raise the money to start taking hormones. I'm trying to get a job/sell my book/finish school so I can get a better job so that I can actually get the money for the (sob) $25000 bill I will have on my hands if I go through all the surgery (something like $19000 if I just get hormones and chest reconstruction) and everything, and I just can't afford that all on my own. So yeah.
I guess this is more so you guys can pass it around than actually asking you directly for money. I'm just so sick of feeling trapped. I'm so sick of looking at myself in the mirror and not being who I am. I'm so sick of everyone looking at me and not seeing me for the man that I am. And I just want to start taking steps towards becoming something more.
Any help I get will be greatly appreciated. I'd be willing to make graphics, or draw something, or write something, or hell, even create fucking websites for people if it will make them feel better about giving me money. I would hate to take anything for free, so if you do want to exchange, I am up for it. Just leave a comment here letting me know what you'd like and I'll get on it for you as quickly as I can.
Thanks so much in advance and thank you for even reading or listening to this. I'm going to go bury myself in a hole now.
