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

Every single woman, cis or trans, and femme presenting person I know has been a victim of SA without exception. And most have their first assault as a child or early teens.

@alexadeswift @alice huh, that's interesting, I'm a trans woman and i don't think I've experienced sexual assault ? like of course there's the chance that there's something i'm not remembering (yay CPTSD) but i'm pretty sure i haven't. i have had random men on the street or in cars catcall me a few times but that seems to me like harassment not assault

You aren't alone. While it is a common experience for trans people, masc and femme, it's not universal. The closest I ever came was not actually an assault since I was never in any danger. I'd call it harrassment, and I can really only name one incident in my life (which, to be clear, is too much and this was not a trivial incident either - it was an actual criminal act).
