Okay, I recently came out to my mother as transgendered. At first, she told me that she would throw me out if I went through with the transition, but after talking to her for a while, she told me that she would love me no matter what, but that she would have nothing to do with my transition and would continue to see me as female and call me by my birth name for the rest of my life. scream
Which brings me to my problem. I am almost completely financially dependent on my mother at the moment and she refuses to even loan me the money for my top surgery. It's all I can do to save up dollar bills and spare change, which I calculated would take be about five years to save up the $6,500 for the cost of the surgery.
For a full-time college student with a part-time job, the amount seems a little daunting. Does anyone have any fundraising suggestions or tips?
