Emergency FtM Top Surgery Fund

dragonreine:

I live in a country where LGBT people are persecuted by law, and finding skilled doctors who are LGBT-friendly is incredibly difficult. Trans people in particular encounter extreme difficulties when seeking doctors for transitioning treatment and gender reassignment surgery.

I’ve managed to find a doctor who’s skilled and experienced at FtM top surgery (gender reassignment procedure for transgender men that creates a masculine chest), and I’ve been saving for a few years to be able to undergo the procedure.

I have been informed, however, that the doctor will be retiring soon, and it is likely that he will decide to retire early, as early as next year.

His colleagues and other known doctors in the country charge double of his fee, and he’s one of the best local surgeons when it comes to FtM surgery.

My hope is that I am able to undergo the procedure before he retires, and I’m aiming to get it done by January 2018. I’ve saved up enough to be able to pay the deposit and travelling costs (the doctor is based at a different state), but I cannot possibly afford having the surgery this year with my existing funds.

The goal is USD 2,000 by 30 November 2017. This FundRazr is to cover the rest of the medical fees, and for an overnight stay at the hospital after the surgery. Follow-ups are free of charge so no worries about that!

Every cent helps, and if you can’t contribute, it’s okay! A share/reblog would help me greatly as well!

Post-everything penis created by phalloplasty.

I thought I should update since the last image I posted was fresh after medical tattooing so everything was a lot brighter (medical tattoos lose 60% of colour after 4 weeks and the rest is retained over a number of years before a touch up is required).

I have an FAQ below but my inbox is open to questions.

FAQ:

Do you have sensation?
I have full penile sensation. Both tactile and erotic. I also have full sensation in my old equipment which is buried under the skin.

Can you get erect?
Not spontaneously. I use an erectile device which many cis men also use. While I can’t get erect without a device, it also means I have full control over my erections so I a: avoid spontaneous public embarrassment and b: can literally sustain an erection for a week or as long as needed in order to satisfy a partner. I use an AMS 700 erectile device. Google that and it’ll bring up videos of how it works.

Can you penetrate a partner?
Yes

Can you stand to pee?
Yes

Do you pass as cis?
I’ve gotten changed in many a public changing room without incident, regularly use urinals, and have never had any issues in my day to day life.

Can you orgasm?
It’s a myth that you lose the ability to orgasm. Microsurgery connects nerves from your graft site (e.g. Arm) up to the penis, and later nerves from the t dick to the penis. Even if your nerve hookups fail you still retain sensation in the t dick regardless of burial status. I can technically have 3 types of orgasm, from stimulation of the penis or buried cl***is, or both together. Each experience is different.

Did it hurt?
Not as much as I expected it would.

How much did it cost?
I am a British citizen and covered by the NHS which I pay for out of my taxes. I paid for my own medical tattooing. (2 sessions, £200 each)

How long were you off work?
13 weeks stage 1. 8 stage 2. 3 stage 3. Was back at work within 30 mins of medical tattooing.

Replying to replies:
Yes I do feel the tattooing was worth it. The pigment really blends with the light so depending on how the room is lit it shows up differently and just looks like how natal genitalia is more flushed in colour wherever there is more of a blood supply. I am VERY white so without tattooing the lack of pigmentation is obvious.

The pain was surprisingly manageable. A little spicy at times but felt more like being scratched than stabbed. The pigment should last at least 2 years before requiring 1 top up session. I expect to only need a top up in 3 years because of how my skin reacts to pigment and how often I am out in the sun (never). The money I paid was affordable to me as a one off, and the maintainence costs of touch ups are equally as affordable to me personally.

Ultimate Chest Binder Tank

I am offering this lovely chest binder!

Full story: I was trying to cosplay John Watson (which was my first ever out of my house in real clothes presenting as male despite having known for years that I am genderqueer) I nearly couldn’t breathe in the 1x which I foolishly ordered as if my chest measurement was my bra measurement. whoops. I returned that and ordered this based on an accurate measurement of the fullest part of my chest and it was a bit too loose. I ordered the 2x which was perfect and worked beautifully. I didn’t manage to return the 3x, so it could be yours!

I would love it to go to someone who needs a binder and can’t afford one. I can ship wherever you want within the continental US. If multiple people message me I’ll do some kind of random selection. Message me by July 30th 2017. I want it out of my house and being useful somewhere!

TLDR: Anyone need one of these? I have a 3x nude color Underworks Ultimate Chest Binder. Just message me.
