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.

¹ InB4 some guy hops in to remind us all that men get SA'd too
² that I remember

@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.

@ghostprince non-femme-presenting folx do get assaulted and harassed. I used the term "femme-presenting" because that's who I was talking to (I'm not a woman).

I added the InB4 because every time I talk about sexual harassment, feminist topics, or just about anything that can be interpreted as calling out men, I get (usually white) cishet men derailing the replies to tell everyone that they have problems too.

Also, I'm sorry you're unable to medically transition (assuming you phrased it that way because you would like to); everybody should have the available options (and rights) to present as they feel fits them.

@damonology

Ah, understandable - thank you for explaining your stance for me. I appreciate it a lot especially your levelheadedness. I totally understand your frustrations with the derailing. That is correct, I would like to transition but my illnesses make things rather challenging in that regard.
