Character Purge - Coming Out
8 years ago
RIGHT-O. So this is a big deal for me.
I'm going through a MASSIVE character purge in an effort to help fund the purchase of my first gender-affirming essentials.
I'm well into my adulthood, which makes a "coming out" a bit late. But for my whole life I've always sort of "known" I was a bit off as far as gender is concerned. I just never really DEALT with it until now. It seems cliche, but going through a battle with cancer really changed my view on a lot of things. And I've decided that life is too short to not be happy with who I am. So, I'm coming out as genderqueer. Gender-fluid? Bi-Gender? Nonbinary? I haven't quite found the specific label that works for me. But long story short, I was born female and definitely identify with femininity, but there are times I very much want to be a boy. (Boi? A very feminine boy, anyway...)
I've experimented with my first packer, and it feels so good and affirming to me. At least when I'm feeling more boy than girl. Knowing that, I want to start getting things to be able to do this more frequently, more comfortably, and safely.
In case you want to know all the details on where dollars are going, I've compiled a GOOGLE DOC. (Some of it is sort of wishlisty. I'll prioritize based on what funds come in.)
All funds from these character sales are going to fund things to help affirm my newly "out" gender identity. It involves purchasing some new clothes, underthings, binders, etc. See the google doc for a complete list.
I know it seems weird to be selling characters to fund these things. I'm an adult with a full-time job. But right now, the amount I get paid at my dayjob is minimal and barely pays the bills. And my fight through cancer evaporated my savings. Getting my savings back to where I'm comfortable is already going to take me far too long, and waiting longer to begin the journey of fully accepting my entire identity is something I don't want to wait another six months to do.
If you don't want to purchase any of the characters, but would like to make a donation in ANY amount toward helping me out in this endeavor, you can use my PAYPAL.ME LINK! <3
To help spread the word, I'm also offering a raffle on a character I was gifted myself. Share this journal, and post proof of that sharing in a comment below, and I'll give you a number for the raffle for THIS DRAGON CHARACTER. Raffle closes November 31st, and I'll draw for the winner December 1st.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for your help.

You should put the link to that here too with the cute dragon! Sorry if the note causes any annoyance! >>; I thought you'd put a link with the google doc haha!
Now that I am done panicking.
I wish you good luck again. Coming out is coming out regardless of how old you are and being able to be comfortable and happy with yourself is super important, I'm glad you're to a point that you can do this for yourself and I wish you good luck ^^
