    Trigger for CSA and SA

    I’m a trans woman. My story is messed up.

    The first girl’s clothes I ever wore were a pair of tiny tight-fitting shorts and top. I was made to put them on by my abuser. I was 11 years old.

    It took decades for me to finally come out as a woman. My very first night out, I got dressed up. First time wearing a short skirt since my teens. I wasn’t prepared for the attention. I was sexually assaulted twice.

    I still need to hear it’s not my fault. I know it intellectually, but I don’t really feel it. So I am grateful for the message of this post 🙏✨️

      It was not your fault. The people at fault are the ones who assaulted you. Don’t give them any leeway by trying to take blame onto yourself.

        Thank you 🙏. The good news is that I have people in my life who support me - and a great therapist.

        Healing is tough, but I am tougher!
