Please never tell anyone in the LGBTQIA+ community that their childhood was "safe.”

You don't know anything about anyone's childhood but your own, and our entire community has been historically abused and experimented on in untold ghoulish ways throughout history.

Don't do it.

I've spent my life trying to first stay alive, then later as an adult, trying to get past things I experienced as a child in healthy ways.

I'm not "strong.”

What you really see is a militancy toward being positive and living, as a defense against despair and wanting to die.
I don't care how horrible your trauma was if your entire point is to mockingly minimize others’ with it. The best thing we can do is find empathy, not use it to bludgeon others and create more trauma in our community.

You don't know what others have gone through. Period.
CONTENT WARNING!

I've shared my trauma as an empathizing strategy AND awareness campaign since I arrived. It's no secret.

-physical abuse 8-12 (nerve damage)
-CSA by predatory men for 2 yrs who preyed on my femininity
-self-harm ending in the ER that will likely prevent my GCS
And I'm mostly healed.

But that doesn't mean it's very far away, or that I'm immune to being triggered by someone over it. I share it in my own ways, in my own words, in my own times. And I do so because it's too late for me. It's done. I just NEVER want it to happen to another.
I'm gonna leave with this.

A very disturbing person is on a warpath to smear me and paint me as an abusive sexual harasser. It's so fucking gross.

Nothing has shaken me like this has on this hell site.

If you want to believe those lies, unfollow me and gtfo.

The End
More info on prior history of abuse and calling another trans woman in our community a “pedophile” to abuse/harass her with others.

The thing I'd ask of you if you want to help is to RT this thread so other people don't become a victim of this person.

Addendum:

This is like someone showing up at your local ptsd therapy group and saying without knowing anything about you that you don’t actually have ptsd, or at least not real ptsd, and you could never understand their ptsd because your trauma isn’t real like their trauma.
