My name is Aarav Singh. I’m 24 years old, a native of New Delhi, and a proud transman. I recently started working as a Program Coordinator at Family Planning Association.
My father passed away in 2015. So, in a nutshell, I don't have support from my family. I began transitioning through hormone treatment in 2016 and underwent top surgery in 2017. A lot of time has passed and due to the delay I have developed a cyst in my uterus, swallowing problems and persistent pain, I cannot wear more clothes and my periods are irregular. The endocrinologist has said that you should undergo a Hysterectomy (Removal of ovaries and uterus) as soon as possible and advised me that I should not have waited so long after the top surgery but due to financial constraints I was not able to pursue the surgeries.

Therefore, I am asking for your HELP to escape this difficult and painful situation.
It's you, Yes YOU all, my chosen family, I need support, love, and help to go through this and get my surgery done as soon as possible.
With the beard, accessing public places is getting difficult for me, and it's a daily struggle now, to complete the process of transitioning, I now have to undertake two expensive surgeries - a hysterectomy and phalloplasty.
There are 4 stages in the bottom surgery and the gap between each surgery should be at least 3 months. So, I am planning to have my first stage of bottom surgery in December 2021. The estimated cost of the first stage is approx. 4 lakhs rupees. So I request you all to please help me as much as you can. Your single penny will help me to make my life easy.
I remember as a teenager, lying in my bed at night praying that I would wake up the next day and be a boy, to be my authentic self, and to just have my family be proud of me. With every penny thrown, with every birthday candle blown out, my wish was always the same.
For every trans person, it feels a little different. For me, it felt like constant homesickness. Not a homesickness in my own body, but homesickness in my own life. It was an unwavering, unyielding ache in the pit of my stomach that only went away when I began to embrace my true self. When I could be seen as me.
Here, I am asking for your HELP to make it a more authentic self.
It's you, Yes YOU all, my chosen family, I need support, love, and help to go through this.
