PART I
Along with the rallying cry "I was both this way", Transgender communities - be it on Reddit, X / Twitter, or TikTok - frequently employ phrases such as "it's a medical necessity" or "I'll k*ll myself if I can't transition" and thus require hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Transition-related expenses. It makes a person wonder how Homo Sapiens have survived over 200,000 years without a well-paid gender therapist telling white boys to chop their manhood off.
This is the story of a fledging TikTok star caught out attention when she speedran a trust fund inheritance down to 0. It was a perfectly valid decision that she claimed "saved her life" and you're a bigot if you disagree.
Transfluencer TikTok darling "Alice" (formerly Joey) Richards is a riches-to-rags story about a trust fund twink who was aging out - losing his boyish cuteness as he marched into his mid-20's, hair beginning to thin, and maybe even getting a little chubby flub on the tummy tum. Having grown up the son of a CFO for a major cafe chain, he was granted the wish of hair plugs by daddy dearest - who cut him a check and sent him off to Turkey.
With the money in his bank account, rather than spend the full amount on a reputable doctor, Joey shopped around, booked an appointment, and killed time shopping for luxury goods with the rest of the money at the famous Zorlu Center.

Taking to social media to thrash the doctor, Joey asked daddy dearest to cut another check. When this didn't work, Joey threw a fit and declared herself to be a Transgender woman named "Alice".
We can only imagine the look on her father's face, when his son went the twink-to-trans pipeline, but we do know that daddy didn't cut a check to "Alice", due to the aftermath that followed.

| The pain... |
The internet reacted, papa bear was soon exposed, all hell rained down and "Alice" was made to remove her TikTok post and issue an apology.
"Alice"s posts devolved into depressing, morose, suicide baiting. Why was she so unfortunate? Why was she born in the wrong body? She would often post "prayers" to God (on TikTok) wondering why she was forced to "bear the cross of transwomanhood". The more she whined and suicide baited, the more followers she got. After a supposed suicide attempt (bullshit), she announced a GoFundMe for her transition - that's right POOR POOR little (trust-fund baby rich) girl, needed your money.

So off to the doc to get the chop-chop, breasts installed, and new hairplugs right? If only our story was that simple... no, no, we're just getting started here.
PART II
Weeks went by without word from "Alice", many began to speculate she was off the radar gettin' work done. However word soon spread from "Alice"s dear friend "Lilly". "Lilly" claimed to have organized the GoFundMe on "Alice"s behalf. Some didn't take her at her word because the GoFundMe clearly lists "Alice G" as the organizer, but "Lilly" claimed that's just how she set it up after "Alice" asked her to do the grunt work - in exchange for some of the funds to be shared for "Lilly"s own GRS surgery. "Alice"s fans and donors were upset - about "Alice" screwing over "Lilly" and about "Alice" promising "Lilly" funds in the first place - but the controversy pretty quickly simmered down when they decided they would wait for "Alice" to resurface and share her side of the story before jumping to conclusions.
According to "Lilly", she was contacted by "Alice" two months later - hospitalized for overdose of an unspecified drug... all the money was gone... no "gender affirming" work had been done.
"Alice"s followers smelled bullshit and began dropping like flies, many people were disillusioned - just as many, however, called for compassion. "Alice" touched by these calls of compassion resurfaced on TikTok, claiming she was drugged, raped, and robbed of all the money after stopping by a "supposed friend's place" on the way to depositing it... Idiots believed her, so another GoFundMe was raised, however detractors reported it as a scam and it was removed.
"Alice" was now at her darkest, no money, no longer able to post GoFundMe's, and her BFF "Lilly" was no longer answering DMs. However, fate would strike in "Alice"s favor... she gleefully announced her "bigoted" father died, leaving "Alice" with a sizeable inheritance.
"Alice" began flashing the money on TikTok, travelling to exotic destinations around Europe, and when the pressure began to build from followers to get her trans-reaffirming surgery, she went big.
Over the next three years she would post the receipts, bragging about the expensive operations:
- Genital removal, "vagina" installation - $75,000
- Genital revision x2 - $15,000 each
- Facial feminization surgery (from nosejob, to jaw shaving, and everything in between) - $100,000
- Tracheal shave (shaving the Adam's apple) - $10,000
- Breast implants / augmentation - $15,000
- Voice Feminization Surgery - $10,000
- Full Body Laser Hair removal surgery - $15,000
- Butt injections: $7,500

PART III
Spoken in a more euphemistic way by "Lilly", "Alice" had blown through her father's inheritance in less than two years and had been racking up charges on large-balance with a purse full of credit cards. In addition to the house being utterly trashed, it was being repossessed by creditors.
Many of the procedures were placed on the credit cards, and under pressure from courts to pay back the money, or face bankruptcy - "Alice" posted her final TikTok before nuking her account from orbit.
In the video, "Alice" rallied her audience to pressure politicians for her debt from gender affirming surgery to be paid from taxes - using the same old tired tropes about it being a "medical necessity" and a "human right".
Reminder, here's a list of "life-saving" cosmetic services "Alice" expected you (the taxpayer) to pay for, and if you disagree you're "literally committing genocide":
- Genital removal, "vagina" installation - $75,000
- Genital revision x2 - $15,000 each
- Facial feminization surgery (from nosejob, to jaw shaving, and everything in between) - $100,000
- Tracheal shave (shaving the Adam's apple) - $10,000
- Breast implants / augmentation - $15,000
- Voice Feminization Surgery - $10,000
- Full Body Laser Hair removal surgery - $15,000
- Butt injections: $7,500
This list doesn't even cover cost of living during recovery time, voice training, therapy, etc.
The community quickly turned on "Alice", she was not the poster boy they wanted to champion their cause, and in two days time, her account was nuked from orbit. "Lilly" tried to illicit sympathy and apologize on behalf of "Alice"s PR faux-paus... but the damage was done and "Lilly" hit the delete button on her TikTok account as well.
