Replying to @DrJessTaylor @Jessicae13Eaton
I regard my ability to disassociate as a survival mechanism & my aggression as a weapon against men who thought beating and raping me was ok. Do I fight back? Yes. Do I think that's a 'personality disorder' No. Without these things I'd be dead.

I was on @STVNews last night with a message for students to look out for each other, especially during freshers. I woke this morning to hear my friend was punched in the face at a freshers event @EdinburghNapier. One missing 🦷 & a shaky start to Uni but thanks @policescotland.

Thank you all for the offers of support. I have made a decision to not set up a crowdfunder. The abuse I was forced to endure had perpetrators: Nic Shall/Aaron and @BristolUni. The women's rights movement shouldnt have to pay for the abuse of a bully and a heartless institution.

Your personal safety is crucial. Consider carrying a personal alarm and make sure your windows and doors are locked before leaving the house or going to bed. Know where your nearest safe location and police station are. #ThinkingThursday

Here is a link to a film I made with HMPPS about the Homicide Timeline. The link takes you to the @UniGlosRepos Research Repository where you can download it. It’s only ten minutes long but summaries the research paper and the eight stages. eprints.glos.ac.uk/7010/
