"In this survey study of adults in California, results showed that TGD individuals, especially transgender men, are at higher risk of experiencing all forms of violence relative to cisgender women. Results highlight the need for gender-affirming violence prevention and intervention services as well as policies that protect TGD individuals from discriminatory violence."

It frustrates me so much that people are still looking for “perfect victims” when it comes to cases of abuse. There’s never going to be a perfect victim. Abuse is complex and doesn’t always look the same. It’s so easy to sit back, unaffected from the situation and say “Why didn’t you leave?” “Why didn’t you ask for help?” “I wouldn’t let that happen to me.” Victims can face threats and abuse that range from psychological, physical, emotional and financial that keep them trapped in the situation. It is so difficult for victims to seek help because of how abuse is discussed and treated in the real world. How many times are there news stories about victims that had sought help, sought legal intervention—what’s often considered the right things to do in situations of abuse—and they still ended up murdered by their abuser? How many times have victims come forward and told their stories and have been dismissed and not been believed? The systems currently in place do not support victims and make it incredibly difficult for them to receive help and justice, and until we discard this notion that a victim needs to look like x, y or z or be perfect, victims are going to continue to be silenced and not receive justice.
Hello! sorry in advance if this sounds weird but back in February(?) you posted on twitter a recourse for creating a safety plan on escaping an abusive relationship,
Ii just really really wanted to thank you for sharing that, i didn't see that post until recently while trying to find some links and resources for friends but i ended up saving it and there was a situation with someone close to me who ended up not really needing it because it wasn't as extreme as we thought- but just knowing she had it and knowing that a resource like this existed means a lot especially because i didn't know that this was a thing.
(feel free to ignore, i was wanting to dm this on twitter because writing to you about something like this on a tumblr ask felt weird but i don't really know how? either that or you don't let people dm which is completely fine! i just wanted to reach out somehow)
that makes me happy. I'm glad I could help. I hope that everyone is safe and doing well. Thank you so much for sharing. 🩷

Exploring Multiple Forms of Intimate Partner Violence in a Gender and Racially/Ethnically Diverse Sample of Transgender Adults
Location: USA Year: 2019 Citation: King, W. M., Restar, A., & Operario, D. (2019). Exploring Multiple Forms of Intimate Partner Violence in a Gender and Racially/Ethnically Diverse Sample of Transgender Adults. Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 36(19-20), NP10477-NP10498.
"Rates of IPV were high, with variability by IPV subtype: 42.0% endorsed psychological IPV, 39.9% endorsed physical IPV, 30.4% endorsed trans-related IPV, 18.0% endorsed stalking, and 21.5% endorsed forced sex by an intimate partner. We observed disparities in IPV subtypes by race/ethnicity, gender identity, and experiences of social marginalization. Results highlight the need for targeted, trans-inclusive IPV screening practices and interventions. Future studies should examine the syndemic effects of IPV, social marginalization, and health outcomes related to HIV, substance use, and mental health in trans populations."
