The problem with being a rape victim.
Is the word victim.
People treat you like that poor injured creature.
Bit like an injured pet, really.
Like if I'm into kink, it's because of that, or if I'm into having more sex, it's a reaction from that.
Which is incorrect. Both of those feel intrinsic to me as who I am as a damn person.
And I was telling a friend about this, who I'd date if it wasn't for the fact he's monogamously minded and Republican, and who'd date me if I wasn't polyamorous.
And before I told him-I asked him to promise me to not treat me different.
He said "Always."
And it choked me up a little.
Not because it was romantic.
But because he treats me like ME. Like a person. Like the person that -I- am. Injury or not.
And I wish more people did that.
