I've never met a femme-presenting¹ person who didn't have a sexual harassment/assault story.

Most have one from within the past week.

My most recent harassment was yesterday (but I haven't really left the house yet today, so there's still time).

My first sexual assault was at ~13².

@alice I started getting sexualized when I was 10, my first instance of grooming was at 12 (or maybe 13? Its blurry.) As an adult, I would be harassed on the streets daily.

It all stopped when I started taking T.

@damonology @alice I'm glad to hear it stopped for you on T but as a transmasc genderqueer person who cannot medically transition due to health reasons this isn't the case for me.

So yes, men get SA'd too, especially trans men/mascs who cannot transition. Idk op that inb4 was kind of crappy.

imo this whole gender divide btwn who has it worse, men or women, is pointless and causes us more infighting than necessary especially because (micro) aggressions towards men will always shunt the trans man & other vulnerable men first instead of the white cishet male overlords you're thinking of (and, you know, their trophy wives who just as readily put on the boot). Also it's incredibly binarist why are we reinventing gender roles but trans
