🏳️‍⚧️ Help Fund Grey's Top Surgery 🏳️‍⚧️

Kia Ora!

My name is Grey and I am Transgender. This means I was born in a female body, but for most of my life I have not felt like a girl, and have always wished I were a boy.

It turns out, being Trans is a thing, and I am now making my dreams come true.

I have had a really hard time accepting my appearance since I hit puberty and it wasn't until I went on my gender journey that I realised almost all of that insecurity was just gender dysphoria.

"Top Surgery" is surgery that removes breast tissue and reshapes the nipples and chest to create a more masculine appearance for transgender and nonbinary people.

My chest impacts my life daily. I hate to see it when I look in the mirror. My clothes don't fit the way I want them to. It affects my ability to run around with my dog. I am in constant discomfort. I spend a lot of money and time trying to hide it. And I will be misgendered daily (Called 'She' or 'Ma'am') until I can chop them off.

The cost of the procedure in Christchurch is up to $26,000. This is not an amount I can fully come up with from my own savings, so I am putting this out there to see how much I can raise in addition. I am applying for a loan for the remaining portion.

At this stage I have an initial consultation booked with the surgeon, Dr Chris Porter, at the end of July. They have told me the usual wait time is 4-6 weeks from Initial consultation, so will keep this page updated.
