LGBTQ victims of domestic abuse, particularly trans individuals, often face emotional control and identity-based abuse without visible injuries. These victims may struggle to recognize their experiences as abuse due to a lack of legal protections and societal resources. Emotional and psychological abuse is frequently overlooked, leading to significant trauma. Advocacy and awareness are essential for providing targeted support for queer individuals who are victimized in non-physical ways, highlighting the urgent need for effective legal frameworks and societal recognition of their struggles.
Without visible injuries or clear legal protections, many of my clients struggle silently before attempting to seek help.
The lasting trauma from emotional and psychological abuse that I see has caused me much more concern than most instances of physical violence.
