⚠️TW:Sexual assault, Queer violence ⚠️ 

◽️▫️DE-STIGMATIZE space for sexually assault survivors to exist, process and heal. ▫️◽️
♦️LGBTQ+ are sexually harassed and assaulted at higher rates than their counterparts. It’s estimated that 47% of transgender people, and 46% of bisexual women are sexually assaulted in their life compared to 11% of straight women, and 13% of lesbians.
♦️As a community LGBTQ+ people face higher rates of poverty, stigma, marginalization, which put us at greater risk of SH. Experiencing higher rates of hate motivated violence, and a society that hyper sexualized LGBTQ+ people while stigmatizing their relationships. 
♦️ Among people of color, American Indian (65%), multiracial (59%), Middle Eastern (58%) and Black (53%) respondents of the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey were most likely to have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime. 
♦️As a community we must work together to heal, and address. We are too stigmatize to be stigmatizing each other and our experiences. In my bio is a link with MANY resources for all different types of LGBTQ+ survivors. 
♦️My art celebrates bodies. Something that I believe stems from my own sexual assault experience, and a time in my life when I hated my own. 
♦️To all of you, remember you are loves. And so survivors, I am sorry first and for most for what happened to you. I am sorry for how people may react to you. You deserve space to process, and heal.
