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

Hi there.

I know that 99% of gay men are only interested in men sexually, and 1% is interested in tgirls, only to look straight, my stats are far from official.

But what about the gay pride thing, they only invite tgirls to get more floats in the parade? nothing else?

What about the Gay Lesbian and Trans thing is that also shadows without substance, and words without meanings?

It wouldn't be an issue of feeling threatened by gay men. It would be an issue of my assailant being able to access freely the place where I was supposed to be safe.

There are a number of Gay Pride parades that don't invite trans groups to march, arrest trans women for using the women's restrooms (London Pride), make it very clear that trans group representation should be small and silent.

There is not a lot of harmony politically between G&L groups and Trans groups. Trans people have been used to inflate hate crimes statistics to pass legislation that does not protect us because including us would be "too controversial".

Hi there.

This is after the "uktony" thing, just so you know (Bionca), and i AM leaving that there, hope you do the same.

So you girls are left fo fend for yourselves no mater what happens...

Not good.


Maby taking martial arts lessons might help?

Like Judo, karate, kung-fu etc.

You could defend yourselves, and anyone that hits a woman is a coward, you fighting back would make him back off and let you leave.

What happens in one thread says there. No feelings carried over from another thread.

Yes, self defense can and does help. I grew up a tiny boy in rural America - I had to learn how to be scrappy. I took some kick boxing as I transitioned. I don't know how much it would reduce the cases of DV among trans women, but I do think that more classes targeted at specific groups with in trans communities would be helpful.

Actually some friends were blogging and chatting about this very thing.

Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner - but this topic is really hard for me to discuss sometimes.
