Hello everyone, my name is Galateea, a transgender woman from Romania and a fashion design student. I'm creating this fundraise because life has been pretty rough lately.

So I've been transitioning since February 2021 and kept it a secret from my family because of their beliefs and transphobic comments. They've known for a while now that things are changing about me, but we never addressed it. One thing lent to another and about 3 weeks ago they found out about my transition from my sister who didn't even bother contacting me and checking in about me and about what is happening. And because she did that, she took away the option of me coming out to my family on my own terms. Which would’ve been after I’d have some financial stability in my life, being independent of them.

That brings the main reason I'm asking for your help. I'm a student and my parents were the ones sustaining me during this period of time.
But after the announcement that my sister made they gave me 2 options: detransition and come home, so I can get “brought back to reality” or continue my transition and forget about them. Naturally, I tried to explain everything and told them that detransitioning will never be an option, but they did not understand a thing from my speech, which resulted in me getting disowned. None came to my defense, and I never felt more isolated in my life. Emotionally it's been a lot lately, and I'm trying my best to stay afloat and remain positive, but it's been hard listening to your family wishing you kill yourself or just disappear because you are staining their “legacy”. But I know who I am and nothing will stop me from being my true self.
The purpose of this fundraise is to help me getting a boost in this new life that I'm trying to navigate and until I can find a sustainable source of income on my own. Right now things pilled up a bit (my college tuition, rent and medical expenses related to my medical transition). So every little bit will matter right now.
Thank you for reading this, and thank you for your help!
