Help Archie get gender affirming top surgery!

Kia ora everyone,

Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who has chipped in already, I appreciate you all so much, it’s a terrible climate for anything money related at the moment and I know how much it means to give it away - you have my infinite gratitude!!

Also, if $$$ isn’t something you can manage right now but you still want to help the trans community, making lots of noise about the attitudes in the current govt is very welcome - eg the proposed puberty blockers bill, etc. Please always feel free to contact me about these issues too if it’s a bit confusing without the background.

After talking to some NZ specialists I have found the standard rate for top surgery now starts at $35k here -ouch :( With the current govt’s attitude to trans people this is unlikely to improve (and if anything may get even more difficult to access).

Based on this I am now aiming to get surgery in Aus instead which is likely to cost in the ballpark of $20k. I’m determined not to do another summer of wearing a binder so that’s the main goal for 2025.

Thanks for reading and hope the start of 2025 is going well for you!
