People spent months raising the alarm that Trans Rescue's "Eden House" was vulnerable to attack and was likely to get raided by police, in hopes of reaching people before they moved into a known unsafe location. They blocked, deflected, took accounts private… and kept their "safe house" open in a country where it's illegal, and now just got raided. A totally preventable disaster, but Trans Rescue is run by negligent self-important doofuses with white savior complexes. https://mastodon.social/@trans_rescue/110583022928552076
FYI @aral ^^ since I noticed this via your boost
Happy to provide sources on this. Folks spent nervous months warning of this exact danger and trying to get any constructive response from TR, who only denied, hid, gaslit, and continued in their harmful path.
@ryanprior I’m so sorry to hear this. I’d be happy to look at your sources, thank you.
@aral here's a starting point: https://transrescuewatch.medium.com/the-trans-rescue-papers-when-help-looks-more-like-human-trafficking-exploitation-4e3d7886bfbc
It read as hyperbolic to me when it first came out, but in light of their safe house literally getting raided the panic seems more justified.
There's also the "HoldTransRescueAccountable" hashtag on Twitter with lots of info.
BTW not tagging it or them here; they interpret any criticism as an attack and I have no desire to interact with them.
