I'll just drop a PL bomb and say I have
vulvodynia (NSFW due to medical photos of genitalia). I was diagnosed a few years ago, a lot of hell happened before I got a proper diagnosis, and according to my current OBG/YN (who is the angel I deserve compared to the callous ass wrinkle I had before) I was a ticking time bomb based on terrible things that have happened in my life. Terrible things that could have been avoided if pedos and rapists were made to face the wall instead of constantly being released back into the public. In my early twenties, it began to become clear that what I went through wasn't okay, that just because it happens to women and children all the time doesn't make it okay, and no one should just be expected to "get over it". I was very open to help; I had not even begun to heal and it was long overdue. I used to participate in in-person private therapy as well as face-to-face group therapy. Group therapy is genuinely helpful for victims. Of course, as we've all witnessed, group therapy has been opened to offenders despite the strong evidence that putting those sick freaks together in a group only enables them. Pedos and rapists don't need to be patting each other on the back, they all need to be under the prison. They want to invade every space that women have, including online spaces.
Before I was diagnosed, during a time I was constantly in pain and not sleeping, I reached a point where I was manically trying to find a space to talk about it, but all I found was:
1. Women getting in trouble for telling men to leave female health forums, because akshually Jeff is now Lilith Amethyst Moondust, so respect his girldick.
2. A lot of young women being told by their fathers that they're a whore/bitch/slut because they have a severe UTI and need antibiotics. These women had never had sex.
3. Some of those same young women editing their posts to beg men to STOP asking them for pissing videos.
4. Women begging men to stop asking them about how much menstruation hurts.
5. Women begging men to stop sending them dick pics.
That having been said, this is the only place I can say such things and not get told that I have to respect troons, or get banhammered for telling a moid to choke on smegma.
I rarely seek out female-only online spaces these days, yet I'm still constantly reaching new levels of hatred for moids creeping on women who are in pain, sleep deprived, missing work, and feeling hopeless. I hate perverts, I hate porn addicts, I hate the porn industry, I hate troons, and I hate that I'm currently having a painful flare up which is why I'm typing all of this mess out. I just really don't know what to do with myself today. I grieve for the spaces we have lost, both physical spaces and online spaces. I stopped attending group therapy about five years ago when troons began to show up. They would grin when a woman would cry about her miscarriage. They would wiggle excitedly when women would discuss urinary incontinence. Their perverted eyes would light up when a woman would talk about loving a man but being afraid of intercourse because her uncle touched her throughout her childhood. Misogynists are perverts, perverts suffer from solipsism, and they cannot be fixed. Don't give them a chance. NEVER give them a chance.
