Reader Feature: Can you spare a dime for Jess?

We joke around a lot on this site. Admittedly, that’s what it’s about. However, sometimes you have to take the time to recognize that being a blogger in the lesbian world isn’t all about haha’s….sometimes it’s about giving back. When we stumbled upon one of our reader’s blogs, we wanted to help, and so we’re doing a post (with permission, of course).

I’ve been keeping track of her blog for a long time. Mainly because it is differently from my experience. Jess describes herself as genderqueer. She doesn’t want to become a guy, but she does want to align her body more to what she feels inside, so she’s raising money for top surgery.

If you’re a lesbian, you’ve likely known what it feels like to not be truly comfortable in a situation. Jess has been feeling that for quite some time about issues we likely take for granted. I’ve been very lucky to have known since I was a kid that I was a girl…I liked being a girl…and heck, now I like being a girl into other girls. Being genderqueer is more neutral, and people don’t really know where to place individuals.

She’s got a great wife at home, kids and pets from what I understand..and they are just looking for some help to get this surgery done, and get it paid for. I’ll likely never truly understand the discomfort Jess feels in her own body, but I can be part of the solution. No matter who you are, or what your situation in life, Grrlplanet supports you. Join the cause.
