Has anybody ever just like, one day, it kinda hits you that you’re a woman? Like I’ve always felt like a woman or whatever (and known) but for some reason I was just like awoken, like damn, I am a woman

Yeah i realized this at the age of 8 when i met my first online predator and when i was bullied for not dressing feminine as a child and when i was self conscious about my voice and when i saw other women being sold as objects and when i realized i wouldnt be spared

yes but fear mongering is not the answer. if you want to make a difference then be the change you want to see. don’t get sucked into dark rabbit holes, there’s a difference between educating yourself and spiraling.

Its not fear mongering, that implies i have an audience to manipulate LOL. OP asked a question and i answered it. Life aint always sunshine and rainbows man

op asked ‘when did u realize u were a woman’ i don’t think it warranted such an insane response. i work as a crime analyst, it’s literally my job to study horrific crimes… i also was online way too young if u catch my drift. but ur initial post is concerning and ur obviously in a dark place, my simple advice is to touch grass.

Thank you, internet person that happens to also be an expert in this specific topic of discussion, but “touch grass” is not a mature way to approach trauma. Also, its an anonymous chatroom. Chill out

Also for a supposed expert you toss around pretty serious words in the wrong contexts a lot

Crime analysis has nothing to do with this girl’s feelings. Are you trying to one-up her or something? Buzz off, seriously. What she’s doing is closer to decompression than fear mongering. Stop trying to invalidate her feelings and go reflect on yourself. Christ.
