I looked into that and noticed the younger snd more femminine you appear the more money you gor. Those that just started hormones or didnt appear too passable got barely any money.

I have no personal experience with crowdfunding, but it definitely seems like the people who have the most luck are the ones who already have a decent following on social media. Maybe if you advertise it enough you might make some money, but probably not enough to cover the full cost of anything significant.

I have no social media presence, I need friends....
