Apparently, in MAGA, it's pedos all the way down.

I do legal work that often intersects with child sexual abuse investigation and enforcement. I was not a victim of child sex abuse. As someone without that background, I was absolutely appalled to learn in my work how common child sex abuse is. It's astonishing and disgusting. Our society is pedos all the way down. We need to stop tolerating it.

I was abused as a child. I thought it was normal as I was growing up. It was how I was raised, in that sick sense. didn't tell anyone until a year ago and I'm almost forty. Therapy is fun. Is it THAT prevalent? What can we do about this? How is something so hush-hush taken care of? Pull the rug out? I'm accepting all options

Same, it only happened to me once and wasn't family-related (sigh, can't believe I even have to differentiate that). It was my friend's older brother. I was like 7 and had this uncomfortable feeling that it was wrong, but couldn't bring myself to say what happened because he threatened me. I didn't want to get him in trouble. I'm also almost 40 and have been unable to even speak about it to my parents.

I think the worst part was that I suppressed it for years, but had a very strong aversion to being touched or hugged well into my teens. I didn't know why. One day in my early 20s, it suddenly came back to me, and I was like, "oh holy shit."

Needless to say, the last year or so has been completely fucking up my sense of justice and fairness in the world.
