More information...

So as expected, as we spread the word about the Tranny Wish Foundation and continue to put on events such as Rock Your Tits Off, more questions arise about what it is we're doing. here is my attempt to put some of the dialogues I've had with people out there.

*Yes, the Tranny Wish Foundation is currently fundraising funds for one of us, who started the fund. When that fundraising is successful, we will move onto the next person.

*No, there currently is not a "list". It is the goal, but since we're on the first person still we haven't moved onto that stage. We have not yet decided how that list will happen. Potentially we'll put the names of interested people in a hat and draw them out to determine the order. The plan is that we will have some sort of open discussion to get together with whoever wants to talk about it and get other people's opinions about how it would best work.

*One of the goals is to put out information and raise awareness in the community about the price of surgeries and the struggles and obstacles people have to try obtain these surgeries. Many people have no idea about the cost of surgery and how important it is for people who have dysphoria with their bodies to get these surgeries. We have had to focus our efforts and have decided on top surgery but hope that maybe this awareness will help others in their efforts if they also decide to have fundraisers.

*We are not the only ones in Toronto, in Canada, or in North America who are putting on shows to raise money specifically for top surgery. Some are solo efforts and some are community efforts. We fully support other people in Toronto who are putting on shows to raise money for themselves. It is great if people put on really good shows. If the money goes towards a good cause in the community then it's even better.

*We are very happy with the success of the Rock Your Tits Off shows. A lot of hard work has gone into organizing them and they have all been fun, well-supported by both performers and by people who come out to the shows, and successful as every dollar helps.

*The Tranny Wish Foundation will continue after the person we're currently raising money for gets top surgery. We look forward to the prospect of continuing to bring a community together to help each other financially and provide great shows to attend.



This discussion is certainly not over and hopefully will continue. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback please email buyatrannytopsurgery@rogers.com
