grrrlvirus: i’m a survivor of incestuous childhood sexual abuse

grrrlvirus:

i’m a survivor of incestuous childhood sexual abuse, partner rape in two relationships, domestic violence in two relationships (one an isolated incident, one a long drawn out experience escalating from emotional violence into degradation, rape, physical assault, property damage, threats, stalking and harassment), sexual assault from strangers, physical assault from strangers including being attacked by a group of guys for not shaving my armpits, homophobia and dyke bashing, sexual harassment and rape culture. AND I AM STILL FUCKING HERE. fuck you misogyny. fuck you rape culture. fuck you to a world that says women and children’s bodies are property. fuck you victim blaming. fuck you slut shaming. fuck you to anyone who says i can’t be an empowered feminist who loves to fuck AND a survivor of all of this. fuck you to anyone who says i’m broken or damaged. i’m not. i’m alive. strong. and fucking fighting. this all happened to me. it wasn’t my fault. i didn’t ask for it. i’m fucking angry but i am not fucking ashamed. thank you grrrls, you are my sister witches, my family, my lifeblood and my proof that i can and will survive all of this and more, because i know you are all survivors too. i love you. love clementine

bravo.
