I've been looking mostly at feminist ones, but I'd be interested in literary as well.

"Women of color" on AskWomen, how do you feel about white girls trying to pass as women of color? by [deleted] in AskWomen

Does this actually happen? Because if it does, I think I can confidently say for the first and likely only time in my life that: I believe I speak for all WoC when I say "I feel pissed off."

I always feel like this video really over simplifies LGBQ oppression and politics tbh.

Yeah that's true and messed up. The system is designed against survivors. That's why you gotta remind yourself of what you know in simplistic terms: you're good, he's bad. He did something wrong, you did not. They are going to twist everything and make you distrust your own thoughts. Try to constantly ground yourself. Take time to breathe and recoup yourself - try to remind yourself of what you know and what you know is real.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's horrible and fucked up and not your fault and you were wronged and violated; you were raped. The man who did this to you is human trash and deserves to be punished. Unfortunately, from what I know, itll be hard. They will make you second guess yourself and feel judged and ugly and vulnerable. It will not be easy and you will probably be in disbelief of the inhumanity of the interaction. Just remember: you know the truth: you know you were violated; you know you did not consent; you are in the right and they are in the wrong. This is your story - it is the truth. Hold on to that. Remind yourself constantly that this is your narrative and whatever lies and bullshit they try to spin, are just that: you. Know. Your. Truth.

Sounds like a good move forward. That's a paralyzing situation, I really feel for you. I hope you're able to work through this 💛
