Support Lemon’s Life-Changing Journey

Hey there, let’s try this again. My name is Lemon. I came out as non binary in 2020 and then as a trans man in 2021. As some of you may know I had a fundraiser for this very thing a few years ago. I raised about $400 and that went right to my HRT. I closed that account without ever really giving it a chance. It’s easy to be discouraged when you’re not entirely sure what you want or how to achieve it. In 2022 my partner, Grayson, and I had some family emergencies that needed to handled and we decided it would be best to put my transition on pause. I spent this time reflecting on what transitioning really means to me. I had been going through some serious imposter syndrome in the year prior so maybe some introspection was what I needed. And it was. I learned that transitioning may very well save my life. This body is beautiful and has taken care of me for almost thirty years and for that I feel appreciation but something has always felt off. When I’m on my testosterone shots I feel a freeness and comfort in my body that I’ve never felt before. And I know that having access to top surgery would change my life. This is an expensive procedure that most write off as unnecessary but I know that without it I’ll never be the fully realized version of myself that I see when I think about the future.
