this is a quote from apost i read on tumblr:
"My local radio station is having this contest, "The Breast Summer Ever" in which the company will fully fund the breast augmentation of the winning woman, on a voting system. I just wanted to bring to your attention that anyone can vote, and one of our own, a transwoman named Avery (#4) has made the top ten, causing a but of controversy in our very conservative city. I think that it would send a very strong message, not to mention make her dream come true if she was to win. But there is no way that she can do it without the help of the community. All you have to do is press a button and your vote is cast. As I'm sure you are all aware, transphobia rates decrease with the ability to pass, and just imagine what this would do to her self esteem. you can vote here"

that is the website to vote, i think this is a great chance to help someone who knows what we are going through, and also i think it will show something to the world. and best of all think about how happy she will be to start making her way to the body she should have been born into!
Voted :)
As we like to say in Chicago, vote early and often!
Voted :)
Voted, I hope she wins
Voted. Keep us posted of the progress, and of course if she wins.
That video she did touched me a little, when she's talking about how all the other people are well endowed but she basically has nothing.
Voted.
Voted :)
Hope she wins that would be very cool.
Voted!
Voted.
(Is it me or do all other contestant have more than sufficient breasts and would probably look bad with augmentation?)

Besides the first one who have burns on her chest nome of them really NEED breast honestly. They have enough to get by. Buy a push up bra. Avery doesn't even have breast!
Voted :D
and good luck Avery!

I had to vote over and over. I also plan on revisiting the site everytime I am bored, or think about it, and voting again :-)
Voted.
Just as an aside, out of all of them, she has by far the most beautiful eyes.
I sincerely hope she wins.

Kind of like voting for someone who is legally blind to get a surgery for partial sight versus voting for someone to get Lasik for perfect vision!
I'll definitely vote and support her, but GAWD she needs to work on her voice!!!!!!
Voted! Hope things pan out for Avery. Will certainly come with interesting fallout if she does manage to make it to the top. Please keep us updated with the results as this seems to be mostly local.
I hate to say this, but she didn't come across as all that sympathetic to me. It sounded like 'vote for me because all the other contestants are privileged'.
I wish her luck though.
Tried to vote several times but kept getting this message:

not at all uncommon for stations to take down voting when there are efforts to flood online ballot boxes by non-listeners. I know we did that with a similar contest many years ago in Austin...and the station has not repeated the offer since...
Maybe try again, I just tried a few minutes ago and it worked oky doky fine :)
i vote everytime someone posts on here. and it stilll works i dont live in canada, i only heard about this on tumblr and thought this would be a great place to post it to help her
Fingers crossed!
Voting completed :)

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't thinking about it. But I don't want to risk disqualifying her.
Have you all voted today? :)

All the others
are privileged.
Sounded pretty heartfelt to me though, especially near the end, and I can (obviously) relate quite well. Gets my vote.
Out of respect for Avery's desire to truly experience life as a woman, I voted for someone younger and prettier.
Voting ends on Sunday, July 17th. Keep the votes up!

I don't understand.
Voted! Good luck to her! :)

easily read as 'welcome to the real world' where the young pretty things get to the top of the list...especially when it comes to online popularity contests.

All this press is a good first step. If Avery plays her cards right, she can become a cause célèbre and cover the cost with donations. You know, after the results come out and she "just barely" loses. ::)
i have just voted hope she win let us all know
Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!
AVERY WON!
Seventy-six percent!
wow guys 67% she won by....i think we REALLY helped guys!
I read 76%...
:eusa_dance: Hooray Avery!!!:eusa_dance:
Very happy for her ;D
Good for her!! I hope we get to see her after the surgery.

They made women compete for breast augmentation. You think they'd willingly pass up opportunity like that?! :o
Though seriously, I do too. :D
Avery, Girl, super happy for you. Wish you all the happiness in the world. Now please... PLEASE WORK ON YOUR VOICE!!
*Hug, still happy for you ^.^
I read about this in the news! Congrats Avery that so cool!
Woohoo! I knew she would win :)
