136. Second is we *know* some cis women are abusive. We know that trans women get both fetishized and policed. There are some messed up dynamics here, many of them perpetuated by cis women. It’s an understandable thing to be wary of.

141. First, when a trans woman (or someone from any other marginalized group like women of color) say something that makes us uncomfortable it’s an opportunity to listen. At a minimum we can learn something about what *they* experience.

142. One of the hardest things I’ve found turning teams around is how months go by, things improve, but the things you couldn’t deal with at the time (because you are but human) resurface. They get fewer and further between. But each time you doubt the progress made.

144. How big a problem is not owning plates? Can this wait until next month or...? What about sheets? Owning property is basically an incessant list of things that must be chosen and acquired that you have nowhere to put and something went horribly wrong with the kitchen 😭

145. Abuse has a power dynamic; the person with more power abuses the person with less power. The thing we will eventually have to face is cis women - at least - have that power over trans women, and the work of allyship (aka being a decent human being) starts with awareness of that.

154. I am physically okay. Went into a p intense state of shock though, especially as I had no idea how to call the police here. Grateful to the kind stranger who rescued me. And my builder who I called in a panic and who 1) told me what to do 2) came to rescue the light fixtures.
