Reading thisโ€ฆ it hits me hard. Some countries get special deals, some people get treated differently, and here I am a trans refugee โ€ฆjust trying to get through each day.

Hurts to see how the powerful get special treatmentโ€ฆ meanwhile Iโ€™m a trans refugee just trying to survive in a camp after fleeing for my life. Feels like justice is only for the privileged.

Sharing this because too many trans refugees live unseen. Every message and share helps.

Some days itโ€™s hard to keep going. Being a trans woman and a refugee has meant fear, rejection, and struggleโ€ฆbut Iโ€™m still here. Sharing my story for everyone living in the shadows. Every message, every share, every bit of support matters. My profile has more of my story.

Itโ€™s painful seeing people targeted for what they believe or who they are. Iโ€™m a trans refugee, and every day I face danger and struggle just to be safe. Thank you for shedding light on how power can crush voicesโ€ฆitโ€™s something I know all too well

Thanks, I really needed to hear that. Sometimes it feels like the world just wants us to disappear for being who we are. Honestly, just being able to talk about it and have someone understand makes a big difference.๐Ÿซ‚โค๏ธ

As a trans refugee, I know how hard it is to start over after persecution. Stories like this remind me how much even a little support can change a life. I hope this child gets the chance they deserve

Itโ€™s wild how some news blows up, while people like meโ€ฆjust trying to survive as a trans refugee struggle every day. Barely anyone notices, and it would mean so much if more people could see us

Wow, thank you for this. It means a lot to feel seen even just here ๐Ÿซ‚

Honestlyโ€ฆ itโ€™s so exhausting how everyone just wants a story to fit their idea of what a โ€˜transโ€™ person is. Iโ€™m a trans woman, a refugee, just trying to get through each day, and seeing people make up stuff about us like this really hurts. Pleaseโ€ฆ remember thereโ€™s a real life behind every label.

As a trans refugee, itโ€™s exhausting to see us blamed for things we didnโ€™t do. Weโ€™ve already faced so much danger and fearโ€ฆplease recognize where the real threats are.

Wowโ€ฆ watching this hit me hard. Itโ€™s crazy how some lives get all the attention, while othersโ€ฆlike mine, as a trans refugee are barely seen. Weโ€™re just trying to survive, and even a little understanding or support can mean everything

Thank you all for reading this. Honestly, every day is a fight for me and my sistersโ€ฆjust to stay safe and have food. Sharing our story here feels scary but also a little hopeful, because it reminds me that people actually care โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ

hey, Iโ€™m Onandra
Iโ€™m a trans woman and a refugee, right now trying to survive in a camp in Juba, South Sudan.

I had to run from Uganda after the anti-LGBTQ lawโ€ฆ life just wasnโ€™t safe for me anymore. Now I stay here with my sisters..weโ€™re doing our best, but itโ€™s really hard with food, healthcare

As a trans refugee living in Juba camp, seeing policies like this breaks meโ€ฆit shows how much weโ€™re still fighting for dignity everywhere. Grateful for everyone standing up for us. If anyone here is open, Iโ€™d love to share a bit of my journey too

Trans women beaten, cut and 'forcibly undressed' in Kenyan refugee camp Trans people are facing violence and discrimination every day in Kakuma Refugee Camp โ€“ and they say authorities are doing nothing about it.

My story is really just about survival, resilience, and holding on to dignity. Kakuma was hell, and it forced me to runโ€ฆ but Iโ€™m still here, still speaking. Thank you @PinkNews for sharing my truth ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพโค๏ธ
