Cleo continued: \u201cThat being said, this is something that holds the power to change my life for the better.\u201d<\/p>\nCleo was in good spirits as she participated remotely in the Season 6 Tell All. (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI want to just be able to move past this stage of my life that has dragged for the past 11 years,\u201d she expressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd move on with my life,\u201d she went on, \u201cand be helpful and dedicated to my communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cleo acknowledged: \u201cMy gender dysphoria causes me to devalue myself, which has a domino effect in the way I live my life, and especially on the boundaries in my interpersonal relationships.\u201d<\/p>\nAfter her debut episode of 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 6, Cleo acknowledged on her Instagram Story that people have questions about her accent. She promised to address them at a later date. (Image Credit: Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOn Instagram, she writes: \u201cI am tired of not feeling at ease with my body.\u201d<\/p>\n
She shared: \u201cIt is incredibly hard for me to value myself as an individual because of my gender dysphoria.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cleo also cited the expenses: \u201cThe cost of gender affirming surgeries, endocrinologist visits to enhance my hormone replacement therapy, voice therapy and laser hair removal has been financially out of reach for me.\u201d<\/p>\nOn 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days, Cleo acknowledged that some of the obstacles that she faces in life and relationships happen due to society\u2019s transphobia, and a cis woman in her shoes would not have the same experiences. Tragic but true. (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI have decided that life is too short to be spent living in regret,\u201d Cleo affirmed. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve explored every option available to me and tried tirelessly to afford transitioning for over a decade,\u201d she wrote. \u201cBut the emotional and financial toll has become overwhelming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cleo wrote: \u201cDepression has set in, and I am struggling to envision a future where I can truly be myself.\u201d<\/p>\n90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 6 star Cleo opened up on YouTube about her accent, and some surprising questions that she has received. (Image Credit: YouTube)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cLet\u2019s make my dream of living authentically a reality,\u201d Cleo implored her fans and followers.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour support means the world to me,\u201d she expressed. \u201cAnd will also help me bring attention to the struggles of the trans and neurodivergent communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thanking her donors in advance, Cleo concluded: \u201cThank you for being a part of this journey.\u201d<\/p>\nIn October of 2023, Cleo created a GoFundMe to support her gender affirming care, and penned this lengthy explanation of why. (Image Credit: Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn light of Cleo asking for help, there have been some varied <\/em>responses.<\/p>\nObviously, some people have already contributed funds. With only a couple dozen donors, she\u2019s already up to nearly one-seventh of her goal.<\/p>\n
But there are 90 Day Fiance<\/em> fans who have questions.<\/p>\nDuring the Tell All, Christian and Cleo were very much still together. (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhy doesn\u2019t Cleo just use the money from the show?<\/h2>\n For one thing, 90 Day Fiance<\/em> infamously pays very little. <\/p>\nEven if <\/em>pay has gone up from about $1,000 per couple per episode (which is nothing<\/em> for their time spent filming or how much the show makes), Cleo likely only made enough for one season to buy a used car. If that.<\/p>\nWhen you factor in how much work people miss in order to not only travel and spend time with a loved one, but also film (plus the expense of rentals, flights, and more), some cast members don\u2019t even break even.<\/p>\nWhen Cleo and Christian tried cosplay, she found her knight in shining armor. (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnd, for that matter, Cleo may be putting some of that money towards the surgery.<\/p>\n
Online estimates put the price ofgender confirmation surgery in the UK in the tens of thousands of pounds.<\/p>\n
Prices vary, but there\u2019s basically no way that 90 Day<\/em> alone could have paid her enough.<\/p>\nCleo and Christian had some awkward conversations in the upstairs bedroom. (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhat about the NHS?<\/h2>\n Simply put, the NHS is a victim of decades of funding cuts. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s not just that UK taxpayers are being robbed blind; predatory business interests are actively fueling the NHS\u2019 decline in the hopes of creating a dystopian healthcare nightmare like we have in the United States.<\/p>\n
While Cleo is likely eligible (even though she is Italian), the waiting lists are extensive. It is not uncommon for people to opt for private surgery to end the miserable wait.<\/p>\nCleo was more reserved and cautious than her impulsive boyfriend. (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIs it wrong to create a GoFundMe for bottom surgery?<\/h2>\n No.<\/p>\n
Wait, sorry, I know that I should be doing a lengthy explanation for how crowdfunding is voluntary and how gender confirmation surgery can be life-changing and even life-saving.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all true. But honestly, I feel like some <\/em>of the people loudly questioning this on social media aren\u2019t asking in good faith. (Some are asking in good faith, though, so they should know that the answer is \u201cno.\u201d GoFundMe even has a page discussing the costs of these procedures in different places)<\/p>\nCleo places a lot of importance in (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhy does Cleo need surgery in the first place?<\/h2>\n That\u2019s kind of her <\/em>business. (Actually, entirely her business, but if someone wants to donate, they might want to understand)<\/p>\nIt\u2019s true that not every trans person wants surgery, or wants bottom surgery. It\u2019s not a perfect procedure, it\u2019s expensive, and recovery is painful.<\/p>\n
And plenty of trans folks wouldn\u2019t permanently change their genitals if they had a genie who could do it instantly and with magic. The reasons are as personal as they can be.<\/p>\n (Image Credit: TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn 2005, Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson underwent a cisgender version of top surgery.<\/p>\n
He had gynecomastia, and wanted to change the size of his chest. So he underwent a reduction. The results were very gender affirming.<\/p>\n
Not every cis man would feel the need to do so. But he did. Not every trans woman seeks bottom surgery, but Cleo is. It is, again, an incredibly <\/em>personal thing. But it\u2019s also something with which Cleo could use a little help.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nSource link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just days ago, Cleo shared that she and Christian broke up.
