I maybe a man and maybe i dont understand but i think its hard for other men to understand because alot of cis mens mentality is toxic masculinity. They feel they shouldn't understand that kind of trauma though men can be hurt that way to, unfortunately many have that old fashioned mental state. I'm sorry if you had felt comfortable enough to open up about it to a male and it not go well. I'm very sure thats frustrating for you to see them not understand it
god this is so real. had an experience w that lately. won’t go into it in detail bc TWs. but basically told them i had trauma and to not do something bc it’s a trigger and they kept doing it. i do not know why i have to keep spoon-feeding these men.
Here's the thing I'm very open about my life and my trauma I warn people now like your opening a can of worms. It's just annoying when they choose to ignore it. In return it makes me feel shitty about myself cuz of something I can't control.

I'm tired of people not understanding my sexual trauma, especially men.
