Lucy Dacus gives away $10k for gender affirming surgeries: "we have to do it ourselves"

Following a sweeping anti-trans executive order from president Donald Trump, singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus is pledging $10,000 for 20 fans' gender-affirming surgeries. In her call for GoFundMes to donate to, she encouraged fans to contribute as well.

She took to X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday morning, calling to action

if trans people wanna comment surgery gofundmes, I’m gonna give away 10k in $500 increments until it’s gone, & if other people wanna scroll through and make donations, please do

the government will never be the source of our validation or protection, we have to do it ourselves

Last week, Dacus announced her fourth LP, Forever Is A Feeling, which is due on March 28 via Geffen.
