“My name is C and i live in an abusive religious household that found out I’m trans and have been trapping me at home since. No communication allowed with anyone other than them, and the psychiatrists and psychologists that they assigned for me to brainwash me into believing that being trans is wrong. They have even gone as far as to encourage my family to hit me. I have been physically and verbally and sexually abused since they found out months ago, i have no access to a phone since they took mine and went through everything and I’m using my dads phone behind his back. Im 18 and i live in the Middle East (country hidden for safety), I attempted to run away and failed, they hid my passport from me so i cant travel if i escape, please help me escape, I’m on medication for anxiety and also they’re forcing me to take testosterone medications and when i confronted them they started screaming. They blame everything on me especially my mother who loves me but in such a possessive way and threatened to kill herself if i don’t take them because a trans person in the family is too disgraceful. Her expectations of masculinity are excessive to the point where a cishet man without body hair is feminine in her eyes. PLEASE HELP ME, they’re forcing me to take testosterone and i see body changes that worsen my dysphoria as im trans mtf and I want to see myself when I look in the mirror.

If anyone knows who can help me escape and people can donate, maybe just maybe I can escape anywhere and seek asylum for my safety.”

This is a brief background to what C is going through but being a conservative country, it isn’t easy to get her out. Anyone that has any idea nohow to protect her and find a way to use funds to get her out please message me on instagram at ‘spirtualsafehaven’

Update:

Thank you to everyone that has taken the time to donate whatever they could to our friend in need. For her safety still cannot say much other than that all the funds are being transferred to a friend in the same country who is of more help to Celeste. She deserves the world and the donations you've made definitely has helped her feel more hopeful.

Update 2/06/2023

Hello everyone I would like to firstly say thank you for hearing my story and for the conversations I’ve had with people.

I cannot. Say much for my own safety as to the plan but this is what I hope can happen.

I recently got accepted in 3 UK colleges but the fees for the cheapest one is 16,500 pounds. Please help me get to 20,000 pounds minimum so i can afford a basic life without having to seek asylum and risk homelessness.

I am being sent to my mother home which is also in the Middle East by the end of the year so I’m hoping to use the visa I have to get to the UK where I have met some online friends who want to help.

PLEASE help me if you can
