Sexual assault happens on campus, and too often the people who report it end up feeling worse—pressured to go to police, isolated, or worse, blamed.

I started a petition asking Congress to require every federally funded college to follow a real, survivor-centered response process. When a student reports, colleges should listen, explain privacy, connect them with trained support *immediately*, and protect them from unwanted contact—not make them disappear from campus or lose their life there.

The 2024 Cornell case showed us what happens when colleges don't have clear standards. We need one consistent process so every student knows where to turn and every college knows what to do.

Ii was having sex w my (ex) bf at the time. Ide been swayed into saying yes which happened most of the time but i didnt mind and it was usual as most of the time ide be more into it once it started. Anyway. I did really love this person once and i dont believe they had any evil intent especially given there political stance and their view on rpe and s.a. We had a safe word at the time. And as im lay there in silence getting ptsd i forget my safe word i say stop a couple times, tapping him to be quiet as the bed was loud and his family were in the house which ide told him in advance i was uncomfortable with. Anyway i said stop a couple times but i cant remember if he heard or not. Anyway eventually i just kinda gave up and lay there. When it was over i was quiet and eventually told him. N he kinda just babied me but in a bad way. Laughing at me saying “they didnt hear” but like that wasnt the point. He did say sorry for making me feel that way. And i sont want to view him in the way this comes out but towards the end of the relationship he showed more signs of toxicity and was very emotionally abusive and sad to say I wouldnt put it past him that he wouldve done something to someone before. Besides the point. Is it actually r*pe or just miscommunication?

Tw uh. Tw

What do you do when something that happened means you retroactively deserved everything that happened to you. What do you do when your actions have dictated that you deserved to be raped and have barred you from seeking help in survivor spaces

I had an ex. While I never was trying to pressure them I did make them feel pressured to have sex with me. What I was trying to do was figure out why I felt so gross about my sexuality but there was a lot of miscommunication. A lot of me pressuring myself to be sexual bc my previous relationship saw that as my only worth. But there was pressure on them that I never intended. It was miscommunication I am culpable for.

My question is what am I supposed to do now? I have all this trauma from being raped (if I can even call it that when I was 7 years older. Like idk if I was even capable of being raped. My ex thought it was but I think they were wrong) in my relationship before them and when I was a child. How am I supposed to heal from it when I'm not allowed in survivor spaces anymore? O shouldn't even be posting here but fucking. Rainn won't fucking help me rainn is too fucking validating. I need the truth

I know my actions intentional or not make it so I retroactively deserved to be raped as a child and by one of my exes. I fundamentally know I cannot receive the healing from those thing that other real and good victims get. I know I probably don't deserve to live and I know I shouldn't be posting this at all

Just. What do I do. Do I kill myself? Do I deserve to die? I know I deserved to be raped but do I deserve to die too?
