Because we all fantasize about it, if you won a large jackpot what is the first 3 things you would do?
I start:
1.) my church is one of the few GLBTQ affirming churches in my area that specifically has a mission to help those like us so fist thing I would do is give 10% + to help our church expand and reach more people.
2.) I would immediately pay off all my debts both public and private.
3.) of course... Get my GCS, FFS, and BA surgeries.
Next!
Oh that's easy.
1. Pay off all debts.
2. SRS, BA.
3. Start my own veterinary clinic.
4. Establish Sanctuary for Tran people.
Ahhhhh!!! You cheated! That was 4 things ;)
hehe. But I did list the top 3.
Pshhhh! Technicality :p
1. Get top surgery
2. Go to Anime Expo
3. Get a dental implant
We all know what my plans are: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,115660.0.html (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,115660.0.html)

I like it ;)
If I won a sizable amount I would like to take some of those winnings and set up a foundation or a trust, that would help transgendered youth.
We lose too many of them. And many others, for a variety of reasons, never reach their potential. When you think about it, who out there are transgendered role models? We have a few, but not enough. I would love to see the next generations produce thousands of scientists and scholars, like Cindy James. Or well-known athletes. Authors. Politicians. Educators. So that we are no longer considered outside of the mainstream.
I would invest in our youth.
One thing I would in addition is I would make a donation, a very large one to Villalobos Rescue Center (http://www.vrcpitbull.net/dog/).
I spend way too much time thinking about this every day. Having close family members at the casinos today isn't helping. ;D
1. Put back money for top and bottom surgeries.
2. Get the h*ll out of Vegas. Now.
3. Adopt a couple Newfies from the Rocky Mountain Newf Rescue with sizeable adoption donations.
All of my short-term goals would be complete.
By the way, tonight is a good opportunity, Powerball is up to $320,000,000
1. Move far far away from my parents...and never talk to them again (also change my name).
2. Start transitioning.
3. Do some studying an then go back to college for a masters degree in Psychology.
Love the diversity :)
It all depends on how much was won...
Small:
1. Establish financial sanity and security for me, my ex, and our kids;
2. Get my surgeries (SRS, FFS)
3. Maybe take a portion (10%?) and donate that to a few trans-folk who absolutely need SRS/FFS/Top surgery.
BIG:
1. See #1 above.
2. See #2 above.
3. Consult with Janet about making a "safe haven", a "Rivendell" of sorts, for short-term respite and (possibly) subsidized surgery options. The idea would be for Rivendell to be wholly self-supporting, but accepting donations from all regions of Modern Earth.
If I won the lottery I would:
1. Pay off my student loans
2. Adoption
3. Buy a house
Hmmmm It's tough but......
1) Get a full transition to female - And I mean EVERYTHING!
2) Buy a nice house and insure it and all that stuff.
3) Travel around the world.
Easy!
1. Pay off debts (student loans, well.. That's it)
2. Obtain alllllll the surgeries!
3. Donate a big chunk to this site here. I don't want this place to go away >.<
1) buy private island with house and transportation (such as boats and planes)
2) fund better ways to make us female (or male, or both)
3) use said ways to become female
4) invite all who i care for (and those on here that need help) to a party on my island.
1. Facial feminization (I'm going to include hair removal in this)
2. Buy a large amount of land probably including beach front in a tropical climate and turn part of it into a self-sustainable farm and the other part into a resort that would generate just enough income to cover the cost of running itself, plus pay for security for my land and maybe a little extra to do some traveling of the world ($20k/yr maximum). Any extra income would go to charity.
3. Either donate to or start up an organization or two to help fight for LGBT rights in Central America and to help support LGBT people in Central America. 79 percent of transgender murders in the world take place in Latin America and 35% of the transgender population in Latin America is affected by HIV compared to 0.5% of the general population.
If I won a sizeable amount of money, I would
1. pay off the mortgage on my parent's house
2. live comfortably for myself
3. help support LGBT people
Invest enough to pay my own transition related expenses.
Pay off all debts.
Donate to Susan, maybe enough for a life long subscription.
Go to Disneyland!
Seriously, I'd finish off my transition, maybe do something about my ugly old face while I'm at it.
Then I'd make sure my nieces had enough for college and make sure my siblings were secure financially.
Then I'd probably help others with some of it. I only care about enough to live comfortably, not lavishly, so if it were a sizable amount, I could help a lot of people and not just trans people either.
