To them I want to state this:You may witness frequent arguing and fighting among transwomen, in particular. We each have our own ideas about how the world should be better.The one thing we all have in common is that we do not want your youth to be filled with shame and self hate. We do not want you to have to buy black market hormones. We do not want you to be coerced into reparative therapy. We do not want you to have to navigate in a world that wants you to die or go back in the closet. We do not want you to take your own life.As a general rule I do not post funding requests, because I frequently get requests and it wouldn’t be fair to share some and not others. I do make rare exceptions for organizations like RAINN.org or the Trans Lifeline, and I’m making an exception here.Carla Lewis GoFundMe page for gender confirmation surgery The page includes links to media interviews (text and video) so you can learn more about Lewis and her work. -- source link
