#rape survivors

[fireflysongbirdperson]

This video breaks it all down perfectly, and it’s exactly what we need to hear in 2024. Being a barb after everything Nicki has said and done is just pure nonsense. I stand behind Megan thee Stallion and Jennifer Hough and fuck all the abuse apologists and cult-like stans who will say otherwise

It makes me sick to my stomach how much victim blaming is engrained into our society

Even people I considered friends have said they “Need proof” bc of false allegations and “if it was bad they (the victim) should have reported it”

False allegations make up 2% of SA accusations

And why is it that one fucking liar ruins the credibility of all survivors…. But when people are accused of being rapists and pedophiles they automatically have people who believe them when they say they’re innocent?

Don't ask why survivors wait so long to speak up. As what systems were in place to keep them quiet.

Chapter 16Agenda Modification 2

Monday, July 5th: “Maybe I was wrong?” Here I sit, Dangling my feet into obsidian waters, Shuttered to blackness and taking solace In their cleansing powers. Maybe I should submerge completely? To be naked would be refreshing. Presently, I am clothed in shame, ruin, and regret, Could I shed these garments and reset? My truculent behavior is the delicate dance of a death dream, If slip…

A thing about Astarion I don't see talked about very often is that my good time boy cannot executive function. If you ask him to elaborate on any plan he goes, uh i dont knoooooow stop asking. He has been winging it since before you were born and he doesn't intend change now. Wouldn't know a step 2 if he met one. Any plan he has is just to show up and see what happens.

it frankly pisses me off that what is essentially “rapists and abusers should be depicted as monstrous caricatures because humanizing them is inappropriate” is considered a very moral and enlightened position to have on art by so many people. a rapist can feel pain, have moments of vulnerability, be amiable and charming, express remorse and compassion at times, be a victim themselves, and so on in real life. they are even capable of doing good things. they can have different sides to them and have individuals in their lives that they are kind to or have a decent relationship with. they will be a human being, and that fact encompasses a lot. conflating that with the claim that they deserve forgiveness or absolution is an issue. nurturing a mindset that believes they need to be one note and uncomplicated to be a correct and tasteful depiction of a rapist inadvertently falls in line with the logic of “how could they have possibly raped you? they are so normal and kind to me. they did all these good things here and there.” ok that doesn’t change that they are a rapist.

everytime i rewatch one day, one room i expect house to disclose some sort of SA trauma and every time i am shocked when that isn't what happens

[elminster-big-naturals]

this may be controversial but maybe the "astarion and halsin are SO sexually traumatised that you should literally cut your own dick off before thinking abt them romantically you disgusting freaks" goon squad should consider the ramifications of essentially insisting assault survivors be permanently excluded from any kind of sex and romance bc they are too broken and stupid to be trusted to know their own desires and boundaries or have the capacity to want to explore/push them.

you know real survivors (not pixel men but real ppl like me!) can read that shit? do you think pushing the lie that encountering one (1) Genital Wielded With Intent will invariably cause us to crumble to a miserably weepy heap of dust and blow away in the breeze is appreciated or helpful? or implying the people that love or desire us are selfish at best and outright predators at worst?

i'm begging ppl to just be 2% normal about abuse survivors PLEASE. the characters aren't real but the attitude you drag from fandom back into the real world are.

Look idk if Israel has an equivalent of HIPAA or not but idk if “I called a bunch hospitals in south Israel asking if they received any rape survivors on Oct 7 and they declined to comment” is proof that nothing happened on Oct 7 actually.

My name is Camille. I am a born transgendered woman. When I was a child I said that I was a girl but the world called me a "faggot." Under the sky of pain called psychiatry I was locked away for many years and had the requisite tortures: the terror of electroshock, my bones broken, my body drugged and raped. I was not raised as a gender but as a bug of a child to be smashed. I am nobody's victim. My body belongs to me & so does my holy brain. I am the ghost of the untapped conscience of shrinks, a lurking justice, a part of the gathering truth that is rising with a common voice out of the wake of their evil blue fire. Transsexuals are born into the book of labels. We may be genetic but we are not genetically defective sub-human creatures. By the very nature of our difference, the independence of our alien spirituality, and the passion of the power of our will, we are a threat to the ruling delusions of the mental death profession. No one has our permission to debate the validity of our existence, to define our reality, to dismiss our pain, and to name us. We name ourselves. If you could look into the collective genetic memory of your humanity you would find us in the rivers of your dreams, for we were always here, we were here when Earth was a green spirit. We were a natural occurrence in a singing world. In times of absolute horror and destruction I wish for you all the transformational creativity of an utterly beautiful madness, and I offer you the blessing of a holy human freak.

Reductress is just spreading terf rhetoric now

The "joke" is that nonbinary people are somehow escaping from violence by being trans that we can opt out of fearing violence and don't fear violence when walking at night....

Like just yuck as a transmasc nonbinary survivor whose actually aware of the stats of violence against nonbinary people this just disgusts me...

Also I'm betting they have talked to zero Black trans enbies or men or women of colour about how being seen as "scary" puts them in danger from racist white people & or they're just assuming all enbies are white idk it's disgusting... There's just so many layers to the bigotry and white fauxminism of this "joke"

They've previously made posts like this so idk if they've got terfs on staff who keep trying to slip this in to pipeline people or people who think certain trans people they dislike facing violence including sexual violence is funny and that those trans survivors are lying and shouldn't be beleived.

They're priming their audience to disbelieve and mock nonbinary trans survivors. They're literally pushing the "people transition to escape/opt out of patriarchal violence like a fun game" terf talking point which isn't reflected in the stats of violence against trans people who face higher rates of physical sexual and domestic violence than cis people

Just "it's a coin toss!"

As a survivor fuck you

Like the comments section is full of transphobia and people going "har har they think they're in danger they're delusional " or spouting transphobic BS and a trans man whose talking about how he fears violence walking at night being called 'female' and misgendered like well done you've curated a comment section full of transphobes and people who think trans people aren't who we say we are fucking yikes

None of the transphobic comments have been deleted reductress seems happy to leave up comments calling trans men "female" and saying that trans people are a danger to children

In an online survey of 1124 heterosexual British men using a modified CDC National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, 71% of men experienced some form of sexual victimization by a woman at least once during their lifetime.

Trigger warning: rape

so I went through the study, and these are the results:

(note that these results are the numbers for sexual victimisation perpetrated by women against men)

So 71 percent of men have been sexually harassed by a woman in their lifetime.

I personally am not an expert on the topic of sexual assault, but these are quite staggering numbers. Of course it's not comparable to the number of women being raped, but it's still too many men who are victims to this kind of behaviour by women.

This is data from the CDC (it's from the United States, where the numbers are probably a bit different, but still comparable as they used the same questionnaire)

but, to be honest, I am not too interested in comparing experiences between victim populations - in the end, victims of sexual assault should not be pitched against each other, but they should both be given the opportunity to heal and be safe. I completely support men who have been assaulted by a woman and now want an all-men's shelter where there are no women present, or who don't want to be touched by a woman ever again or who want to have a community all for themselves where they can talk about their unique experiences.

I personally don't speak a lot about male survivors of rape because this is not really my expertise, but if there are men who are vocal about their experiences who want to find community and educate people, I'm all for that :) and I'm interested in their experiences

However, it's also important to stress the fact that most rapes against men are perpetrated by other men, and most rapes against women are also perpetrated by men.

So while women can pose a genuine threat to men in matters of assault, it's still important to see that most of sexual coercion against men is perpetrated by men.

It's interesting to see that this report by the CDC included "being made to penetrate" as one of their categories of sexual assault, of which a large percentage of men have been a victim to. I find it still important to stress the fact that being forced to penetrate a person and being penetrated against one's will are (while both being incredibly traumatic) very different experiences:

But yeah, this is in no way to say that it's therefore okay to force someone to penetrate you or to sexually assault a man as a woman. if you disagree and think that any of the aforementioned acts are excuseable, you can genuinely go fuck yourself.

another thing that sprung to mind constantly while reading these reports was how important sex-specific language is to accurately access how victimisation affects different sexes differently. Kinda interesting how the category of "being forced to penetrate" is only applicable to men, while the category "becoming pregnant as a result of rape" is only applicable to women, right? 🙃 imagine how this survey had went if neither sex had the language to correctly describe how they experienced sexual coercion
