We were both 10. They had experienced SA as a young child and didn't know any better. It wasn't hugely invasive, not r4p3, just touching in my pr1vate areas, (with pressure). This even happened at school. It was forcefull. Despite being uncomfortable, my speach disorder prevented me from straight up shouting "no" or pushing them off. I couldn't tell anyone. It happened multiple times. Is my experience valid or am I being over dramatic?

Just quick and short, but tuesday night i sent a self-referal to NHS Speach & Language Therapy. I filled out the young persons form and emailed it to them, stating my experiences and symptoms.

Just wondering if anyone else has done this and if so, roughly how did it go? Timeline wise especially?

Im 17, 18 in October, will this affect me negatively?

For Local Constituency, who would be best for trans rights?

- SNP

- Lib Dem

- Labour

Just needing advice because I'm getting a huge ick knowing that all have failed us in some form. SNP? But my local candidate isn't great for our rights. Better than the majority, but just not to the extent that i would want. I dont want to not vote but its also a struggle because i cant stand to vote against myself and the whole of the trans community.
