Hello! I am Miłosz, 25 years old transgender man from Poland. I am asking for your support to help me afford top surgery.
I’ve been on testosterone for 1,5 years and I’m feeling much better about my body, but my chest is still a source of constant discomfort. I have back problems and cannot bind my chest for longer amounts of time – I can survive maybe one or two hours, not more, which means I usually go without it. But, as you can probably guess, going outside as a person with a beard and with visible chest isn’t the safest thing to do. People looking at me with confusion in their eyes is one thing, but there’s also a risk of someone reacting with disgust and aggression. So, putting aside my personal gender dysphoria, getting top surgery is simply a question of safety in my daily life.
This is something I cannot afford on my own. My family is both unable and unwilling to help me. I have only a part-time job (that I love! teaching kids history is amazing!) and everything I earn goes to other things, primarily medical expenses, so I can’t save anything for the surgery. In recent years, attitudes towards LGBT people in Poland went from rather negative to openly hostile, thanks to hard work of our politicians trying to win the elections by blaming LGBT people for many things, like teenage suicides, and accussing us of destroying families or even of child exploitation. Unfortunately, this strategy worked very well. And, as one of the results, my chances of getting a better paying job are close to non-existent.
The surgery costs 17500 PLN (including travel costs and post-op care) which equals to roughly 4750 USD / 3350 GBP / 3900 EUR. I have no way of getting this amount of money myself, even in many years. So I wanted to ask for help. Getting this surgery would simply make my life much, much better, even in this awful place that is Poland right now. If you could spare anything, I would be deeply grateful (especially considering the exchange rate, your 5$ is worth much more here) 🍒

Just wanted to put a plug in for one of my new fav websites, Can I Play That?, which focuses on accessbility reviews of video games by disabled gamers. As someone with a dexterity/mobility disability in my hands (carpal tunnel) I NEED games that allow easy and convenient ways to push buttons to do stuff and let me rebind keys at will. I’m now checking Can I Play That? before buying games since their reviews are ++. They include accessibility reviews for deaf/hard of hearing and cognitive disabiliies too.
Hey guys! So I was diagnosed with cancer in April of 2020 (thyroid cancer to be exact) and I had surgery to remove it and my thyroid in may and had radiation in September because there was still tissue left, and just recently I went to the doctor for blood work and they said that the cancer had came back and tissue was still growing even though they increased my meds really high and I had to radiation. I’m making this post because I am currently unable to get a job because I’m super high risk for covid (I have chronic lung disease and underdeveloped lungs, autism, and of course the cancer, I was also born at 25 weeks old so I have underlying issues from my prematurity) so I can’t get a job at all so I have no way of getting an income. I’m going to put my PayPal link below so if anyone wants to donate I’d be so so grateful. Please please reblog this post if you can. I’ll be tagging my fandoms in in below so I can try and boost this post to more people.
I may talk in my sleep tonight, ‘cause I don’t know what I am. I’m a little like you, more like Son of Sam.
Rebel Without a Cause is powerful because of the dynamism. The visual dynamism—the color, the compositions, the locations—tied to the emotional dynamism.
this is an urgent situation!! a north african lesbian woman is trying to flee her country because her own brother is blackmailing her and threatening to out her to her parents.
partial gfm description:
“Hello, my name is Mei/Mim I am a lesbian from the global south (specifically North Africa but for my safety I can’t precise where) I have been struggling for years in a country that criminalizes my identity [...]
I have been closeted my entire life however last year my younger brother found out about my sexuality somehow and has been mentally blackmailing me with it. He already attempted to out me once but I was able to control the situation however I now live in a state constant fear of what he can do next especially since I know that if my family does find out about this, I will not be able to carry on living (the best things that can happen is that I get disowned and thrown to the streets) and the pressure of this has taken a huge toll on my mental health.”
