Top Surgery (Teet Yeet)

Hi I'm Kam Brooks, I'm a nonbinary transgender college student who's currently in their Sophmore year at Seminole State College of Florida's Sanford/Lake Mary campus.

I'm currently saving up for top surgery (also know as a double mastectomy/chest masculinization surgery) which for those who don't know is a gender affirming surgery for transgender/nonbinary people. My gender dysphoria has become increasingly worse in the last year and due to job-related circumstances I wasn't able to save up very much money during my summer. I am extremely grateful for those who donated to my YouCaring fundraiser while the site was still up but the effort from both parties still wasn't much of a dent in my surgery bills.

Here's what they look like:

Non-refundable fee for reserving a date: (Orignially $500) Now $1,000

Surgical Fee: $6,500

Hospital & Anesthesia fee: ~$1,900

Pathology Examination fee: $300

The total is: ~$8,400

*This estimate excludes gas/travel, hotel and post-op care supply costs

Outside of being a full time student and working ~20 hours a week, I help out at Zebra Coalition as a part of their Youth Council. There, with the collaboration of other young leaders on the Council, I coordinate events to give a voice and extend support to the LGBTQ+ youth here in Orlando. On top of all of this, I'm also the president of Unity! Gay-Straight Alliance on my campus with an overall goal of creating an intersectional, supportive safe space for LGBTQ+ students, providing local resources to them and educating non-LGBTQ+ people on various issues as well as how to be more supportive and respectful of their LGBTQ+ peers.

This is why I need some sort of support. I can only do so much alone and I want to keep making my contributions to the LGBTQ+ community and its youth but I'm limited due to mental and physical health problems from binding and gender dysphoria. I often times wear a chest binder 10+ hours a day, 6 days a week and slowly but surely am suffering from the affects on my body. My back can oftentimes ache due to the compression. I can also experience some tightness in my chest and even (on thankfully very rare occasions) have an ache or two in my lower ribs. I'm doing what I can to develop safer binding practices but I know it would be better for myself and my body in the long run if I got top surgery sooner rather than later.

So please if you can buy a shirt and/or share the link. If you can't buy a shirt then please donate whatever you can to my Venmo account here: Kam-B

Any sort of contribution is greatly appreciated and another step toward my goal. Thank you so much for supporting me!

The Black Album

Music made everything make sense, and for seventeen-year-old Seven Archer, things need to make sense when training to b...

Seven Archer thought being a non-binary, drug-addicted, former teenage vigilante was a rough life. That is, until an evil version of themself seeks to turn them into an unstoppable weapon of mass destruction by any means necessary. But fighting back means facing their trauma and discovering secrets they were never meant to know — a secret that will shatter Seven's understanding of their humanity.
