Threatening to ‘out’ your romantic or sexual orientation, gender identity, gender history, or HIV status without your consent. Pressuring you to keep your identity or relationship secret. Isolating you from family, friends, and the LGBT+ community. Denying that LGBT+ people in intimate relationships can experience domestic abuse. Using your hormones or gender-affirming medication as a method of control. Manipulating you into believing that no help is available to you because you're LGBT+, or that for this reason you deserve the abuse.
If any of this sounds familiar and you'd like to talk about it with another LGBT+ person, we're here for you.
