Last post gone a little stagnant so I'm makin' a new one and I'm doing it right this time instead of slapping some links on a vent post. Long story short I'm a trans woman in the ignorant, provincial backwater known as Oklahoma and every second I spend here is a living nightmare of persecution, poverty, and desperation. I am incredibly depressed and traumatized by my experiences since coming out and I've been stripped of my HRT, my career, and my dignity. My lowkey financially abusive parents* are too busy getting a messy divorce to help me get out of dodge and up towards the PNW.
*they forced me to quit my job last year and ive been without income since even though they knew i was saving up for this eventuality. long fucking story but ive been suffering for it believe you and me. turns out just being supportive of your gender identity doesnt necessarily mean your parents wont fuck you over for other, more esoteric reasons.
As a consequence of that messy divorce, I won't have a place to stay soon and the house is a total minefield of heightened emotion. So that's really made things extra stressful and unstable for me and I'd quite like to leave now :)
I've got a car and a few different options of places that have been offered to me around Seattle and Tacoma. Ain't my first time moving cross-continent either so I'm prepared for the reality of things; I'm talking to an org right now about getting help with gas n getting a job n all that messy logistical stuff. Regardless I still need a little cash for misc expenses (getting new glasses so I can drive safely, paying for medication copays, a haircut so i can do job interviews, rice&beans while i apply for SNAP, etc) so I'm trying to raise a modest sum of $2000 to start out- if you'd help out with a donation or a share I'd super appreciate it.
Hell, link this to your mother, your drag friends, your dry cleaner, your imam! Just please, help me get a leg up? I'm a nice gal and I've been having a rough time of it lately. I deserve some stability for once and with your help I can find that for myself, I think. Once I'm settled, I'm thinking about shooting a film about the trans internal displacement crisis here in the US so if that interests you... well, anyways... stand and deliver, traveller. (Thanks for reading all this shit. Love ya.)
