April: Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Statistics are difficult to gather on this kind of issue and many survivor support spaces are populated heavily with only one gender or only made to accommodate one gender.

Here's to acknowledging the men, the intersex, the non-binary persons who experience sexual assault. Here's to acknowledging the Sexual assault of those who are gender variant, intersex, and LGBT+ being a higher statistical prevalence than endosexuals, heterosexuals, and cisgender individuals.

You did not deserve what happened to you.

May you receive the support you need.
