I’m just scared all of the time. Any time I can get a leg up - I’m not protected. I can lose everything at any time.
If I end up homeless I’ll kill myself. I’ve been sexually assaulted too many times with a place to live. I can’t handle it anymore.
I... I can only say that I know ... what that's like.
I should be dead many times over.
At one point, I got held hostage and beaten and starved for a week straight, barely escaped.
At another point, nearly froze to death in a -30 F blizzard.
I lost friends, or acquaintances at least... seen em pass on right in front of me... found their bodies a few days after they go missing.
I know its even worse for girls, women and transfolk, I've ... seen the aftermath of what ... people do to them... a lot of my injuries, the scars I have now... are from trying to, and in some cases, successfully stopping people from doing horrific things, getting them out of traphouses...
I don't have a solution... only solidarity.
