A money-can't-buy experience
As part of Hate Crime Awareness Week, we spoke to Bea from Scunthorpe about her experiences. Transgender hate crime is one of the lowest reported in our area, making up 7.6% of all hate crime reported in Humberside. However, it has risen significantly in recent years and we would ask anyone who has been subjected to transgender hate crime to report it.
Being transgender to me means living as my true, authentic self and not hiding any more. Having Tourette’s and being in a wheelchair due to FND have made me feel vulnerable as I can be targeted due to my tics, targeted during a seizure, and being in a wheelchair makes me in many ways defenceless. I have been beaten up, spat on, shouted at, and harassed for being different. This makes me feel weaker.
Since coming out, I avoid many areas and won’t go socialising in “regular” places, I aim for LGBTQA venues instead. Also, I avoid busy places due to my tics.When I’m targeted, not only is it deeply upsetting but there is lasting damage as it causes my anxiety to rise. I feel lost due to questioning why people hate me for who I am, and sometimes angry that I can’t be free to live as me.
