Not Of This Earth Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Hi. I'm a 40-something biological male. When I was 20, I was repeatedly sexually abused by a female. I don't know if there's a place here for me. Edited January 5 by Not Of This Earth Link to post
Finchy Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Hello and welcome to AS, @Not Of This Earth! You're not alone. You've come to the right place...we have several members here of all genders who have female abusers. I'm so sorry for what you've been through. You didn't deserve it. Sending you lots of strength and support on your healing journey. ❤️ -Finchy P.S. I see you are non-binary! We have a non-binary exclusive forum/section, if you would like the password for it, just let me know. Link to post
Gol Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Any sexual abuse victim is welcome here. I'm glad you're seeking support. A person from the newbie support team should contact you soon; you can ask them. There's a post for people who want to share about female abusers or you can just make a post of your own. No special restrictions because you're AMAB or abused by a woman. Link to post
MeBeMary Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Hi Not Of This Earth. Welcome to AfterSilence. I am so sorry for the trauma you've experienced and the struggles you have faced. You have found a supportive community with many understanding and kind members. You are not alone. I know it can be difficult when society norms typically only think abuse as male against female (when they think of it at all). This is factually untrue. Abusers can be any gender and those abused can be any gender. I'm sorry you know this firsthand. What happened to you was wrong and completely undeserved. Please know you are accepted here in our little corner of the internet. Feel free to look around and interact with others in your own time. We are here for you. Wishing you many steps forward as you navigate this path we call healing. Mary Link to post
Not Of This Earth Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 I'm new to being non-binary - I only started coming out to my family last year - but I identified as cis-male when the abuse happened. Link to post
MeBeMary Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 The most important thing I personally believe, is being the most comfortable in your own skin. I do hope your family was supportive in what you shared. It takes a lot of trust and courage for survivors to share anything personal with others. Support is something you not only deserve, but something you are entitled to. Link to post
Not Of This Earth Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Thank you, all. Truly. I'm crying here. But... where do I go? I don't want to clog up the general forums; that's basic internet etiquette. Which subforum? Link to post
MeBeMary Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 May of the forums have brief descriptions of what type of posts you would like to post. You might want to look at the Gathering Place and The Aftermath, as they are more of our primary forums allowing more varied topics of all types and receive the most amount of traffic. Basic difference between the two is the Gathering Place is typically a bit lighter than topics of The Aftermath. I hope this has helped. Link to post
Not Of This Earth Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 Thank you; I'll look there. 😊 Link to post
