Hey there, Tumblr
As some of you may know, I had a hysterectomy due to uterine and cervical cancer last year. While the surgery was expensive successful, I’m now facing some pretty hefty medical bills, as well as the ongoing costs of continuing care with multiple specialists to deal with the early onset of menopause and the need for proper hormone replacement therapy (E HRT) before I can continue with my trans related medical care (T HRT). I basically need every HRT and just shake me up like a genderfluid cocktail.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Wow, this sounds like a real bummer of a situation.” And you know what? You’re not wrong. But I’m not here to dwell on the negative. Instead, I’m reaching out to the amazing Tumblr community to ask for your help.
I’ve started a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the cost of my medical bills and ongoing care. I know that times are tough for everyone right now, but even a small donation can go a long way in helping me get the care that I need. And if you’re not able to donate, even just sharing the campaign with your followers can make a huge difference.
So, why should you donate to my campaign, you might ask? Well, besides the fact that I’m an awesome person (if I do say so myself), there are a few other reasons.
Firstly, medical debt sucks. Secondly, women’s health issues are still woefully underfunded and underrepresented in the medical field, and by donating to my campaign, you’re helping to raise awareness and support for this important issue but especially for those of us who are NOT WOMEN. Having to deal with “Women’s health” issues as a non-woman (I’m transmasc gender nonconforming) has been, to put it mildly– a fucking nightmare. And it’d be awful nice to endure misgendering hell time knowing I am not just forking over $50-150 co-pays for the pleasure of being called my deadname + lady ma’am miss woman girl.
But most importantly, you’ll be helping me. As someone who’s been through a lot in the past few years (who hasn’t ay lmaaao), I can tell you firsthand how much it means to have the support of friends and loved ones. Your donation, no matter how small, will help me get the care that I need to continue to fight and thrive and annoy you on tumblr.
So, what do you say, Tumblr? Will you help me out? Let’s show the world the power of love and friendship and community and all that shit Sailor Moon taught us and make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most (me. It’s me. I need it.)
Thanks for reading friendos.
