In this chapter participants begin to detail how they successfully exited their abusive relationship. The idea of being victimized or being a victim is one that carries with it cultural significance. Across the stories of survival and eventual exit, engrained inequalities often structured the ways in which trans victims both responded to abuse and were responded to by help providers. Participants describe a world that is rigidly structured against them as they attempted to utilize resources and avenues that are traditionally available to most IPV victims. They describe two major processes in leaving abusive relationships: walking the gender tightrope and navigating genderist resources.

Chapter 5 extends the issues discussed in the previous two chapters and explores women’s use of informal and formal support networks. It also describes the structural challenges women confront, such as their religious communities and/or the criminal justice system, as they move forward in the years following the termination of their abusive relationships.
