Moving out of toxic/mentally abusive home
Donation protected
Hello All
(Due to safety and privacy reasons, I have to withhold my identity!)
I currently live in a toxic familial setting, with parents that don’t make an effort to properly respect my identity as a trans woman or take the time to understand the support I require. I’m misgendered constantly and my brothers are ridiculed or yelled at if they mention me under any feminine title. They’ve told me until I’m visibly passing as a cis woman they won’t register me as a woman. And if i express any discomfort/retaliation towards this with too much fervor, my mother threatens me physically. Unfortunately they don’t realize the toll this takes on my mental health and how much repressed dysphoria/dissociative episodes i experience due to this. I can’t live in this setting mentally and expect to cultivate fruition for myself. I live in Indian Head MD and can’t secure a job bc of transphobic management or without placing myself in workspaces where my visibility is heightened towards transphobic customers. I’m a multimedia artist(primarily DJ) and a radical literary, and my area offers extremely minimal avenues to pursue my talents, without being placed in precarious situations bc of my hypervisbility. I’m trying to move to New York next month and ask that you all assist me in that. New York offers many more opportunities for fruition and community. I have a few DJ gigs coming up that will be directed towards boosting my savings but without consistent employment it still won’t be enough. I have a very low savings at the moment; therefore not enough to cover moving costs and Deposit + rent, and i will still be looking for a job so i won’t have much financial capability for groceries! I will be moving into a house w other radical/queer trans folks, and will overall be in a much healthier mental space that offers me stability as a black trans woman. My goal is to raise about 3300 within the next 3 weeks to cover aforementioned housing/living expenses and so that I am able to leave as soon as possible from and get back on my feet. Please help if you can, if not please boost and circulate this as much as possible. Thank you all. Much love. Asé
