When someone tells you about sexual assault, don& #39;t say you are ashamed of your gender. Instead speak up every time one of your friends or mutuals says or does things that belittles assault. Stop protecting abusers. It& #39;s not about whitewashing your name. It& #39;s about change.

I don& #39;t know how often I got to hear "But we are not all like that, you know that right?" When talking about my abusive past. It& #39;s frustrating, cause 1. I never implicated that. 2. It& #39;s not about you.

Not being believed as a victim is the norm. Putting yourself into risk getting isolated when speaking up is the norm as well. Especially when you go through trauma. It& #39;s unfortunately like it is, that& #39;s why we need a change, no empty phrases.

A few years ago I almost stopped streaming because of what happened to me. But I didn& #39;t. I bit through my trauma, switched my language on stream, I switched my audience, I started fresh. I got help for processing what happened to me and it& #39;s getting better. But shit, its hard.

But I learned. Don& #39;t trust anyone, no matter how "high" their standing in the community is. People can have different faces to different people. Trust yourself, your gut feeling. Don& #39;t ignore any red flag out of fear what could happen. It makes you more lonely, but safer.
