Qamar here,
Thanks for visiting Your Trans Fundraiser. I’m always telling my clients, students, and comrades they have to incorporate rest into their approach. After launching this business in February of 2025 and running it until September, as a first time business owner, and trans man myself, I need to rest.
Some things went incredibly almost miraculously well and some things have gone Tower Card. Not bad, but it’s all big. It’s the month of Elul, a time of turning inward and reflecting on repair. I need to go into myself to understand how to show up in queer community. Also, when I started this project, I thought I would just sell some templates, be mostly invisible, and have not much space for artistic expression in mutual aid. But I was 100% wrong on each of those fronts and I want to explore that.
In my culture, the third palace of heaven is called Nogah, wherein healing and war are presided over by the same set of trans angel beings. I’m a fighter, a healer, a transgender man. But I’m no angel and if I don’t rest, the line between the two blurs in ways that can cause damage.
Thanks for witnessing this moment and wish me and Jordan (he/him), my volunteer EA and also super badass trans man, a good Shabbat. We’ll be back in January 2026.
In hope & in healing,
Qamar Yochanan
