OVERVIEW

Dem Bois Inc.’s mission is to provide charitable economic aid for female to male, FTM, trans-masculine-identified person(s) of color to obtain chest reconstruction surgery, and/or genital reassignment surgery (gender-affirming surgery) to help them on their journey to living authentic lives. We work to prevent the overwhelming feelings of dysphoria among trans men of color who face a disproportionate lack of access to quality healthcare and/or the financial means to obtain gender-affirming surgery.

Dem Bois Inc. supports trans men of color in the form of helping to relieve body dysphoria, providing visibility, and supporting authenticity. To transform and increase their capacities to care for themselves and other trans men of color, Dem Bois prioritizes ongoing access to shared experiences that allows trans men of color to learn how trauma shows up in their bodies, relationships, and lives.
