|
|
Other:
• His abusers had been female, and as a non-trans
person and non-survivor I 'owed' him sexually. It was
my duty to provide for his pleasure, any needs and boundaries
of my own were supposedly abusive |
|
|
|
|
26. |
|
|
Other:
• when it was a man, yes, I did tell someone,
when it was a woman perp I did not
• yes,
but I didn't perceive the experience as abuse at the
time
• in one instance, not until years later
|
|
|
|
|
27. |

33. |
|
|
Other:
• to try to prevent this sort of incident
from happening again, to me or others-it turned out that
i was not the first such victim. The school where we
had our rehearsals was in a very dangerous neighborhood,
but it was 'politically correct' to continue having rehearsals
there.
• To ask for advice on what to do (how
does a restraining order work? etc.)
• I was
in pain and worried about permanent damage.

35. |
|
|
Other:
• My gender wasn't an immediate issue. However,
it is an issue now. Am having PTSD symptoms and feel
afraid to seek mental healthcare. I don't feel safe going
to a mainstream provider.
• Negative: I got
much less support than I should've, as my guilt around
transphobia was key to the abuse. Positive: I 'protected'
him much longer because of the transphobia."

|
Other:

Being pathologized as a mixed-race bisexual, being the
only bi&poc in
my DV groups, not being able to afford long-term therapy
