Tricky one to put into words, but SA/DV survivors of all genders should be supporting one another instead of turning against one another. Helping one another fight for more services, support, and the means to access them. ....

.. The upsetting lack of services for anyone but cis female survivors of DV/SA is something I'm just now more aware of - it's shocking, actually. Changes need to be made here. Cis women aren't the only ones who deal with violence and assault, by any means. ..

Our shared struggles should be bringing us together to fight for these resources, and to fight for real support for survivors *of any gender* TLDR: It shouldn't be men vs women, it should be predators/@busers vs survivors and those who support them.

Thank you for making this genderless. It feels good to be seen, once in a while.

That's the thing right, once you're healed, you want to prevent this to happen to others and/or helping to deal with it 😌 At least it's like that for me. But I have another one, I still need to start processing. And maybe it's just me, but I like doing this alone.

You are so correct noting Ruby has made it genderless, this is key throughout all countries. Sadly, I know many who have lived through the nightmares of all abuses and not one has said they are "healed". They have adapted, learned to live with these memories. You are all warriors!!

Depends on your definition of "healed" ofcourse 😉 For me that means when the past doesn't define the present nor the future.
