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.

² that I remember

@alice in my case, I'm transfeminine, came out at age 34. I don't have any memories of CSA, but I don't have very many memories of my childhood in general, and some of my trauma responses would suggest that something occurred along those lines. (I don't identify as a CSA survivor, to be clear, because I don't want to speak over those who are sure about their experiences.)

as an adult, though, I've had some experiences both pre- and post-transition that I've reluctantly come to recognize were, absolutely, sexual abuse.
