Tran surgery planning, funding and considering crowd funding 

Im hoping to get a Bilateral orchiectomy within the next 12 months atm.

im looking at about 3.5k AUD for the surgery (not sure if this is before or after public+private insurance rebates need to confirm). There is also the costs of flying interstate twice for the consult + surgery and paying for accommodation which i still need to work out a rough estimate.

Tran surgery planning, funding and considering crowd funding 

Im a STEM educated trans women with 2 degrees trying to find work atm (which is hard, very few jobs in my field despite Masters degree).

I am currently living off welfare and i have managed to start saving for surgery by cutting back spending on myself etc so i may be able to afford the surgery within a year, however i do have other costs such as medications for HRT, electrolysis etc.

Wondering if i should consider crowdfunding? 2/2
