A queer mission: Female to non-binary edition

Tena Koutou Katoa! Nō Ukerina nō Koterina hoki aku tipuna. Noho ana au ki Te Whanganui-a-tara. E Tipu ake au i Te Whanganui-a-tara, i te rohe o Te Āitawa. Tena koutou i te mana whenua. He tau iwi au. Kō River / Rosie / Zephyr KT taku Ingoa. Nō rera, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou kaotoa.

Kia ora all, My name is River and I also go by Rosie and Zephyr. I live in Wellington / Te Whanganui-a-tara in Aotearoa, NZ. And I am pākeha. My Pronouns are he/they. I am a trans-masc female to non-binary.

I volunteer for insideOUT and QED, working on fighting for queer rights in Aotearoa, and study gender and sexuality studies. I wish to dedicate my life to the queer community and helping queer people live.

I am autistic, I have severe generalised anxiety disorder and depression (My dysphoria around my chest has hit the point that it affects every day of my life and makes me feel as if some part of my body is not mine.) I am looking to get financial assistance to pay to undergo top surgery hopefully during 2024 or 2025.

This will first start with any money I can contribute to the total cost once I get a stable income, any extra money from this fund, etc going towards the top surgery for my partner who is in very much the same situation as myself. I would love it if you could provide even $5 towards the cause and/or share this with your friends! Feel free to check out my public social media links to get to know me and maybe even my partner!
