You know what? Iâm tired of media thinking that only women get raped.
Men do too. Little boys get raped by older women and older men. Teenage guys are taken advantage of almost every day. Trans guys are treated like sex toys without consent.
Every type of gender gets raped. It doesnât matter if youâre non-binary, female, male or whatever. Someone of your gender has been raped before.
I want people to notice that not only females get raped. Males do too. Non-binaries do too. Trans people do too. Every gender out there does too.
Maybe we should stop trying to just protect the women and the girls. Maybe we should start trying to protect all genders.
We hear on the daily about how people protest against women getting raped and it being their fault because they were dressed âinappropriatelyâ. How people donât agree and how women should dress how they want to.
What we donât hear is people protesting against men getting raped and it being their fault because they werenât âmanlyâ enough to fight back. What we donât hear is protests against non-binaries getting raped and it being their fault because their gender wasnât âclear enoughâ or they âlooked too much like womanâ or âlooked too much like a manâ. What we donât hear is protests against trans people getting raped and it being their fault cause they âdecided to become a woman/man so they have to face the consequencesâ.
Maybe we should start trying.
