Content Warning is not a fun episode, but it's necessary. And based on true events. As structural discrimination against trans people increases, so will assaults against them.
If someone you know has been sexually assaulted, here's a basic primer on how to handle the situation as well as resources for survivors.
If you are a trans survivor of sexual assault, resources may vary between country and region. Here are a few:
Australia: Victims Support Services
UK: Galop
US and Canada: Translifeline.org
US: The National Sexual Violence Resource Center's directory includes trans-friendly, trans-led, and trans-centric organizations.
Content Warnings: Language, sexual assault, transphobia, and medical professionals with their heads up their own asses
