That’s what made me realise it was a new form of misogyny, too - men claiming to be women but not wanting to hear about the actual struggles women face.

For me, it was a man in my female chat group’s Pregnancy channel, who said that as someone who had supported a partner through two pregnancies he had valuable insight to offer. To pregnant women. In a women-only chat group.

I contacted the mod, explained my issues, spent a week reliving my assault due to having accidentally disclosed private details about my body without knowing there was a man present, and was told that I should consider why I would be okay with a lesbian reading my comments, but not a man (who identifies as a non-binary woman which is... what?).

I wasn’t assaulted by a lesbian. I was assaulted by a man, and I have been abused by men. Once I realised my trauma was never going to be as important as some man’s need to feel special, I did some searching and ended up on GC. And yesterday broke my heart.

Glad to see you all again, and hoping the rest find their way here soon.
