Battered women, lots of help, battered tgirls...

[johndowe]

Hi there.

Bionca, i appreciate the info and stats, Thank you.

But i was more interested in names of organisations and possible legal help, so that they would know what to do and who to call.

As an example, not that i would wish it onto you or anybody else, but if you Bionca would be in an abusive relationship, what would your options, who would you call, where would you go?

In a way i can understand your reluctance to ansewer me since you don't realy know much about me, but it is because of you that i started this thread in that, you posted those articles about tgirls getting murdered by their lovers, and i took it upon myself to try and help, i never battered any of my g/f's and i don't have an ex that i want to get back with or would want to harm in any way, and i am not asking for specific addresses, but names of organisations that can and do help girls like you.

Because the organizations are all private and there isn't a national registry of DV shelters - for safety reason that is public, I couln't direct anyone to a trans friendly shelter.

Personally, if I were in that situation right now - I would be completely without assistance. There are 2 DV shelters in the city and 3 homeless shelters. Neither DV shelter would be willing to take me. The one homeless shelter is for women and children won't house me. The two other homeless shelters are mixed m/f. Both of these shelters have a trans policy that houses trans women with the group that matches their genitalia. I'd be housed with the men.

When I was assaulted, I called a friend who called the cops. The cops lectured me on being honest about what I was and then went to find the guy. I knew his name and phone number - somehow he was never found. I think the "helpful warning" was enough public service for those officers.

That was a pretty horrible time. The assault and not knowing what was going on. I trusted that the cops would get him, so didn't really push it. I was also afraid that the cops would be shitty to me again - so I just let it be and eventually moved to a new city (many reasons for that move though)

Hi there.

Well, that's sad to say the least, i am sorry to hear that you were assaulted, and that the cops were such a great disappointment, but it isn't a big surprise though, and i hope thing are better for you.

I am a tv but not a trans woman, and i am a bit frustrated with these facts, it kinda feels as though no one cares about trans women and what happens to them, i always say the world is a cold place but it seems it's not going to get any warmer any time soon, global warming doesn't seem to affect the human condition very much either.

At the moment i am a bit at a loss for words...

Hi there.

I was thinking, is there any centers for battered gay men, or a center for gay bashing victims that could also help tgirls?

Not very many centers for gay men, and that's a problem on its own.

From my perspective, I would not have been comfortable after my assault being with gay men. A men's shelter could have let in my attacker had he decided to claim abuse. There was a case in the UK where a lesbian went to a DV shelter and her abusive partner followed and gained entry for 2 hours before being escorted out. That would have devastated me. Also, gay men are not exactly welcoming to trans women. In fact many of them are pretty hostile
