“Even now, it sort of feels like I’m the disappointment because I can’t play any one thing very well. I’m not a very good guitar player. I try to do a lot of things but that’s not the same thing as being technically good. But I don’t mind; the price to pay for being flawless is inhumanity. I like being the way I am, but I can’t play like they can. I don’t have a lot of contact with these people in my family.” Elliott Smith

Help Polish Trans Man Get Top Surgery

Hi! I am Miłosz, 25 years old transgender man from Poland. I made this page to help me raise money for top surgery, something that I despera

Hello! I am Miłosz, 25 years old transgender man from Poland. I am asking for your support to help me afford top surgery.

I’ve been on testosterone for 1,5 years and I’m feeling much better about my body, but my chest is still a source of constant discomfort. I have back problems and cannot bind my chest for longer amounts of time – I can survive maybe one or two hours, not more, which means I usually go without it. But, as you can probably guess, going outside as a person with a beard and with visible chest isn’t the safest thing to do. People looking at me with confusion in their eyes is one thing, but there’s also a risk of someone reacting with disgust and aggression. So, putting aside my personal gender dysphoria, getting top surgery is simply a question of safety in my daily life.

This is something I cannot afford on my own. My family is both unable and unwilling to help me. I have only a part-time job (that I love! teaching kids history is amazing!) and everything I earn goes to other things, primarily medical expenses, so I can’t save anything for the surgery. In recent years, attitudes towards LGBT people in Poland went from rather negative to openly hostile, thanks to hard work of our politicians trying to win the elections by blaming LGBT people for many things, like teenage suicides, and accussing us of destroying families or even of child exploitation. Unfortunately, this strategy worked very well. And, as one of the results, my chances of getting a better paying job are close to non-existent.

The surgery costs 17500 PLN (including travel costs and post-op care) which equals to roughly 4750 USD / 3350 GBP / 3900 EUR. I have no way of getting this amount of money myself, even in many years. So I wanted to ask for help. Getting this surgery would simply make my life much, much better, even in this awful place that is Poland right now. If you could spare anything, I would be deeply grateful (especially considering the exchange rate, your 5$ is worth much more here) 🍒

A letter James Dean wrote to Barbara Glenn, circa 1953.

Dearest Barbara,

I never suspected one could know as few nice people as I know. My own damn fault. Lamas and scientists may fume and quander. Everything is not just illusion. You are my proof. You have gone to Israel but you have not. I am very lonely for you. I am alone. Thoughts are sweet, then wicked, then perverse, then penitent, then sweet. The moon is not blue. It hangs there in the sky no more.

Please forgive me for such a sloppy letter, I’m a little drunk, drink quite a bit lately. You see, I don’t know whats going on anymore than you do. Remarkable lot, human beings. I care too.

In antiphonal azure swing, souls drone their unfinished melody… When did we live and when did we not? In my drunken stupor I said a gem. I must repeat it to you loved one. Let’s see “great actors are often time pretentious livers. The pretentious actor, a great liver.” (Don’t get a headache over it.) God Damnit!! I miss you… You’re terribly missing. Come back. Maybe I can come up and see you. You think you need understanding? Who do you think you are? I could use a little myself. You’re probably running around up there with all those handsome guys. When I get my boat, you’ll be sorry.

Hope you’re ok up there. Working pretty hard I guess. More than you can say for us poor thespians back here in the city.

Got to move out of this crappy old apartment. Can’t get along with nobody I guess. Makes you feel good when you’re not wanted.

Love, Jim
