Hi friends, can I share my fears with you and will you support me? I am 26 years old, I am a transgender girl, a chemical engineer, but I have always worked as a broker, I come from Russia and my boyfriend is a physicist in the field of radiophysics.
have you probably heard that any medical assistance in transgender transition is prohibited in the Russian Federation?
when in the Russian Federation, they began to talk about banning the change of the gender marker, I was not really ready to change it. a year and a half of Hrt and fear that people will see that I am trans on the street. In our country, they can really beat, kill, rape and the police will be on the side of the criminals.
but I decided to do it and got a new job with women's documents.
I didn't know that my family would consider this a disgrace so much that they would start harassing me. they tried to impose reparative therapy on me, they tried to threaten that I would be dismembered, and they tracked me down, threatened that I would be imprisoned (corruption and high status allows them), they tried to throw me out of the window, the police humiliated me when they found out about the causes of what happened and as a result.
I found no other way out but to leave Russia and become a refugee in the Netherlands.
I will not describe everything that I had to deal with in the Russian Federation. humiliation and harassment by the police, harassment by neighbors, attacks on the street from people who were told that I am trans.
It was difficult, scary, and painful. I lost my home, my job, my career, and I traded it for living in a hostel in a refugee camp
And all I was happy about was that the police didn't bully me for being a trans girl. I stopped wearing makeup every time I went outside.
In general, I felt safe for almost half a year.
Today, the right-wing parties have formed a coalition here and promised to do everything possible to make it as difficult as possible for refugees to stay here
