untonugganI'm new to the crowdfunding thing, so I'm not sure if this is the appropriate format for this. But someone is raising money for an accessible chest binder, and it seemed like a worthy cause so I'm signal-boosting.
From his original post:
"I [rising ] am transgendered, female to male with a primarily androgynous preference for gendered things. I present largely as male, and it is a matter of quality of life for me. Not passing is a severe impediment to being able to function, and I just don't do as well in anything that I try to do when I'm not passing on a regular basis, and if I'm not able to bind at all, which is my current situation, I definitely don't pass. But I am also disabled, and my disability has begun to make it impossible for me to wear the binder that I currently have, which is pull-over/tank top style. I have fibromyalgia, caused by hereditary multiple exestoses, which causes bone spurs to grow in places that they shouldn't be growing, pretty much. I can no longer easily raise my arms above my head, and it becomes even more difficult with a constricting garment such as the binder."
He is trying to raise $75 for two binders.
He's also throwing in some perks for people who donate, which are documented here. These include icons, sketches, short fiction, and poetry.
As an additional note,bodlon is still raising money for top surgery.
