Transgender performance artist Shakina Nayfack sat down with HuffPost Live this week to discuss her efforts to crowdfund the cost of her gender confirmation surgery.
A theater director, writer, producer, and performer, Nayfack has been out as transgender since 2001. However, she did not decide to pursue gender confirmation surgery until 2012.
She explained to HuffPost Live, "This surgery, not for all trans people but for trans people for whom it's right, is a life or death situation. I think a year and a half ago, the summer of 2012, I had this moment... I just sort of sat down on the bed and realized that I couldn't live like this any longer."
