Does your partner… · Threaten to out your personal identity/information if you leave? · Take advantage of you because you were rejected/unaccepted by friends or family when you came out? · Pressure you into sexual acts to ‘prove’ you are queer enough? · Project internalized transphobia by reinforcing CISSEXISM/Gender norms in the relationship? Ex: You’re only a man if your chest is flat or only a woman if you have curves. · Intentionally refer to you by your deadname or with the wrong pronouns to trigger your dysphoria? · Threaten to trash talk you to the often small and over lapping LGBTQ community so you have no access to support? · Threaten you that you could have you child taken away when it’s already hard enough for LGBTQ+ parents to be validated/ supported?
