I have. And I think folks should be able to talk about it without being stigmatized or harassed for sharing their experiences.

    Raped as a kid by a family member (a woman),
    Raped as a teen by a predator “boyfriend” who was well into his 30s,
    Raped by my gynaecologist during an IUD insertion appointement, SAed by my boss’s best friend during a work party.

    I’m tired, boss.

        Yeah, I’m fine, thank you. It was hard, but… These rapes don’t tell anything about me. I haven’t done anything. The rapists did something, not me. It doesn’t define me as a person (it had consequences on me, but a person is defined by their actions, and they did stuff to me).

        I wish I could give you a hug though. Here’s to the end of patriarchy.
