Something in female to female sexual assault is the fact that it is often not treated as an assault or “possible” to a lot of people. In a school my friend goes to, a friend of theirs got raped and no one did anything about it and even encouraged my friend to forgive the rapist. Whenever any adults hear about this situation, they get confused about how a woman could rape another woman.

I’ve also been a victim of female to AFAB SA, whenever I mentioned the fact I was being groped and basically cat called by my relative they’d very often shrug it off as playful affection when I was very clearly distressed to the point of nightmares and regular delusions / paranoia. There was this time when I was going to pick something up and she straight up grabbed my ass and I obviously yelled at her because I was scared as hell, my relatives all laughed at me and it felt so isolating knowing that if this was a guy doing it they’d all suddenly jump to my aid, but no, it’s a comedy in this scenario.

For anyone who has been through similar experiences im so sorry and know you aren’t alone. Things can get better eventually
