Terf Island claims another victim (snip below, full text in spoiler)

This is a re-post from another subreddit:
So, almost a year ago I got out of an incredibly abusive relationship. I have been trying to seek support since then but because I'm a trans woman, I've just hit brick walls.
DV services just telling me "no" and "we only support biological women" And honestly after going through this loop for a whole year, I'm totally burnt out.
GALOP has told me to stop calling. Refuge has hung up on me multiple times or cited that they "support women, not your situation."
I've asked on reddit, discord servers and elsewhere about alternatives. Even a peer support group that allows us to join.
Nothing. Always nothing.
I'm now at a point of not being able to have the energy to keep looking. It simply drains me too much. However the alternative is that I give up, accept defeat and accept that I will always be broken. Accept that because of the country we live in, a trans woman can't seek help about this awful topic.
I'm aware of Loving Me, but I don't live in the area they support. I also can't afford private care because gender-affirming care is so pricy to begin with. Plus I've had horrible experiences with therapists anyway.
All I’m aware of that's National is an org that supports men, and indeed includes trans men and even non-binary folk but not trans women called Survivors UK.
I don't know where I realistically go from here. The non-stop searching for, a year has burnt me out completely but I don't know if throwing in the towel is worse.
As a non-Britbong, this confused me
Whatever could GALOP be? According to its website, „We support LGBT+ people who have experienced abuse and violence”. Pretty much every post from this man is a whinge about how rejected and lonely he feels, plus he says the original UK version of The Office wasn’t funny. Even the troon-friendly charity for abused troons is sick of him, and no wonder.

Do I just give up?
