i'm so sorry anon. I promise there are some paths that can significantly reduce the costs associated with top surgery--fundraisers, scholarships, insurances, all of the above. It looks like mine is getting reduced from $14,000+ down to $2,000 with insurance and scholarships, which is a lot more reasonable. I'm currently saving

Here is a program you can apply for if you are financially in need! You have to be 18+, show past attempts at getting coverage, and be in the United States, but it is a great avenue if you already got all your bases covered.

Wanting top surgery but finding out just how expensive it is really kills my will to live Rn tbh. I know this'll pass, the feeling, but it's just horrible. Why does money have to keep me from being me? These things on my chest are a useless dead weight that make me severely uncomfortable at vest and make me wanna multilate myself at worst.

trans healthcare is notoriously difficult to access, and i totally feel for you and everyone out there who is struggling to access the care they need.

best of luck, anon!

Deleting the tumblr app for a bit. Some of this stuff is genuinely affecting my mental well being and I’m forcing myself to slow down.

Might hop on desktop every now and then but don’t expect much for like ~3 months

"We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being used as justification for an occupation.”

The filmmakers behind The Zone of Interest, a brilliant and very necessary film that utilises jarring, disturbing sound design to show a contrast of the every-day, mundane domesticity of a family living next to a Nazi concentration camp. Many interpret this film as a commentary piece on how we live out the comfortability of our lives, holding intentional ignorance to the horrors that millions of lives endure; a commentary of ignorance, holding the viewer accountable.

Johnathan Glazer, Oscar winning Director of The Zone of Interest, a movie depicting the wickedness of apathy during the Holocaust:

“Our film shows where dehumanisation leads at it's worst. It shaped all of our past and present. Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many innocent people, whether they be the victims of October 7th or the ongoing attack on Gaza. All the victims of this dehumanisation. How do we resist? Alexandria, the girl who glows in the film as she did in life, chose to. I dedicate this to her memory and her resistance.”
