Hi i am Farrah. I am a trans woman from Santa Cruz CA. I first was diagnosed with gender dysphoria when i was in my teens but because of where i lived and societal/family situations i pushed it down inside and tried to live on. At that time in my life i was ashamed of what i felt. I was so depressed and confused at times i wanted to end it all. I had noone to talk to and nowhere to turn. In 2009 i moved to California. Things got to the point i knew i had to do something to help myself or id probably end up dead. In 2013 i started living as my true gender and annouced it to my friends and family. I shortly after started hormone therapy via planned parenthood. Its been 2 years since ive been on hormone theapy and i just got word i have been approved for gender confirmation surgery by my insurance. I am beyond thankful for how far ive come. The only thing i feel i have left i need to do is get breast implants to finish what HRT started. I am a big girl. I am tall and broad shouldered. My chest size has become a point if insecurity for me because they dont fit my frame at all to me.
Because its the holidays i figured id make a way for people wanting to get me a gift to donate. Im asking anyone who was going to buy me a gift to please instead use the money they would have spent to donate. Even if people can just donate $1 or $5 dollars that helps. If 2000 people donate just 5 dollars ill hit my goal.
Being approved for surgery was a blessing. Being able to get my breasts done after will help me more then anyone can ever know.
Thank you for even reading this.
