A few months ago, I was>!sexually assaulted!<by a guy I had been dating. While this wasn't the first time this had happened to me, it really fucked with my head that, this time, it was by someone who was also trans.

Ever since it happened, sex and dating haven't felt safe.

Before, I was a happy slut. I was meeting guys all the time at parties, off apps. I felt comfortable being at bars, circuit parties, at bathhouses, at kink parties, nude beaches. Now I borderline panic if I try to go. I rarely leave the house these days.

I want to get to the point where I can do these things again and be comfortable with being intimate with another person. And while I'm in therapy, I don't feel we've gotten anywhere.

I know some of you all have dealt with the same. Any advice for how you got to a point where this stuff felt possible again?

30 tM - do you also suck at running? but you kind of want to?
