#incestsurvivor — Public Fediverse posts

Hey, finding out about this a little later than I would have liked, but if you have any resources linking to the organization RAINN, I would recommend you remove them and find safer alternatives. I'll provide some alternatives in this post, so we can continue to try and keep each other safe, though please hear me out on this situation until then.

In 2025 they removed any mentions of trans survivors and are no longer providing specialized life saving resources to the minorities who may happen to call. This resource is no longer safe for minorities to access, and I argue that it's not safe for anyone to access if they're silencing survivors, period.

It's claimed that "RAINN’s mission is to stop sexual violence by supporting survivors, holding perpetrators accountable, and creating safer communities." However, by submitting to a notorious perpetrator, Donald John Trump, they're making a mockery of the work they set out to do. This is not only shameful, but dangerous.

Cuts to funding is nothing new and I'm grateful that programs like *The Trevor Project are doing emergency fundraising to fight to keep their doors open instead of submitting to threats by facism. Standing by The People is more important than ever.
Please consider donating if it's financially safe for you to do so: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/emergencycampaign/

Here's a couple of articles on the matter that I could find that aren't digustingly pay-walled. (Thanks for nothing NYT.) But yeah, please take from them what you will, do your own research as well, and make a more informed decision going forward.

Here's some resources that could be better alternatives to RAINN. You may need to list more than one in its place for it to be a more complete replacement, so please keep this in mind. Please read up on them, so you can be well informed on the resources you're sharing.
