This is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down. Feeling forced into a grrlhood that never quite fit and a puberty I never wanted left me confused and torn up about my body and the way none of it seemed to “fit”.

I am so thankful for the journey that has brought me a community of folks who felt the same and a path to feeling better. Every step of my transition has brought me more peace of mind and comfort in my body, but not without sacrifice.

I spent years stuck in the medical system getting nowhere because of transphobic doctors with endless referrals and horrible experiences with various counsellors. I was fired and experienced episodes of seriously unsettling transphobia at my places of work.

But even this pales in comparison to how much better I feel about myself and my body the more I progress in my transition. But there is something that’s been weighing on me, basically since puberty.

In order to minimize the chest I never wanted from experiencing the wrong puberty first time around, I wear tight-fitting compression vests to keep things flat and savvy. The problem is I’ve been binding for almost two years now, which being asthmatic is problematic enough.

But I miss swimming. I long to feel the same comfort with my chest as I’m starting to feel with the rest of my body since starting hormones. I dream about a time when I won’t be thrown into sad, dysphoric episodes for days on end because of these weird little globs of fat.

So I’ve talked to a clinic in Mississauga that does top surgery and have slowly been trying to work my way towards it. Unfortunately between not passing/job craziness saving has been a struggle. So I thought maybe we could all help each other out.

I want to throw you beautiful humans a party. A queer, glittery wonderland. An exotic array of genderfuckery and dazzle. A hot, sweaty, irresistably booty-shaking evening with some of the most wonderful humans a boy could ask for.

I know times are tough for a lot of folks and not everyone is in a position to help, but in exchange for a helping hand to get me get one step closer to surgery (and the never ending shirtlessness to be shared with all of you) I present you with a night of some of the hottest queer burlesque you may ever experience in your lifetime followed by dj’s bringing the heat well into the night.
