.hayfa shared something important on her stories recently, and these are her words.
We're holding space for them here because this pattern needs naming by the people living through it.
She's speaking to something we've witnessed too often: the quiet violence of hosts wielding privilege and social currency against trans women refugees, q***r asylum seekers, people without papers, the very people they claim to support. This isn't a call out of individuals, but we're also not keeping it vague enough for harm to hide. The pattern is real and we know who it affects.
To those who have lived this, you already know.
If you're hosting someone, or thinking about it, we're asking you gently but seriously to sit with this. What do you commit to when things get difficult? If you've caused this harm before, how will you repair it? Listening is where it starts, but don't let it stop there. Move it somewhere tangible: accountability, resources, changed behaviour
