I Am Speaking Out For Every Sexual Assault Survivor

ADVERTISEMENT

When I was raped, I felt like my world was shattering. I felt completely alone, scared and confused. There was a moment that my rapist told me to stop fighting. It was no good. It was already happening, whether I wanted it to or not. This was the moment that I froze, half from fear and half from survival instincts kicking in. Freezing was a big part of why I did not believe I could call what happened to me “rape” for several days. I was trapped in my own head, hating myself for panicking and freezing, for “allowing” it to happen.

I have learned from my attack that when something this big happens, there is no right or wrong way to act, feel, or be. There is only whatever you must do to keep yourself afloat. I can’t tell you how many times I heard people say I couldn’t be believed because I was so numb that I didn’t ‘act’ like a rape victim, whatever that means. My roommate, his ex-girlfriend, did whatever she could to prove I was a liar.

Work was my only escape. I could block the hell that was my home life and throw myself into my work. I got a raise within a month of my attack for my work performance. Going through the court process, I wanted to drop the charges so many times, not because I wanted him to get away with it, but I was just so tired of it all. I stuck it out though, and he eventually changed his plea to guilty. This still was not enough to sway the minds of those who didn’t believe me.

I took these photos because I wanted others to know that they are not alone. I never knew my voice could be this powerful. Everyone tells me how strong I am for speaking out. I don’t see it as strong. Plenty of strong people never speak out. I’m just doing what works best for me to cope. But, the amount of support that I received from family, friends, and even strangers has been overwhelming. Of course there are negative people, who do what they can to bring others down, but I am able to just ignore them.

I call b******t on the entire thing. 1. I doubt anyone wants to rape that ... tank. 2. I doubt if someone made an advance, that it was unwanted. She allegedly let the guy in her apartment and knowong he had a family (or didn't do her research). 3. Sounds like she regretted the sex because he would not leave his family for the tank and made a false rape claim. Wouldn't be the firs time it has happened.

This is exactly why men choose to rape fat women - they assume no one will believe the victim. At my heaviest, I was 333 pounds. I'm not attracted to classically handsome men at all. I would have turned down any prom-king type guy, even. Just not my thing. You assume that because we're fat, we don't have a type. You assume that we'll take anything we can get. Plenty - plenty - of men want to have sex with fat women. It may not be socially accepted, but men definitely still hit on me plenty even when I was very large (and yes, I turned them all down.)

Shattering Khaos 7 years ago

She's about 4 stones from her own episode of My 600 Pound Life. "Stop fighting... it's already in..." Maybe she couldn't tell because it could've easily been a roll he was "in". "How can someone like you say no to someone like me?!" Looks like the only thing she says "no" to is healthy habits and veggies. Shattering the silence of SEXUAL ASSAULT? Looks like the only thing shatter here is the Earth beneath her feet. Now she wants to be strong? Not when she was trying to fight cravings? No? Not when she was at the buffet? No? Only thing that ever had power over her might've been her monstrous appetite. He tried to break her? What; was she dressed in a KitKat color scheme? She didn't let him win... had it not been for the context, I would have assumed she didn't let him win the pie eating contest. What would happen if she put all her weight on that tree... She's a survivor alright - a survivor of cardiac arrest, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. I''m going to hell. Straight away!

Not many people who know me, know what happened....and it's really hard. But it's already been 3 years since it happened, and although I fear running into him around town, I have my wonderful fiancé and my best friends and sisters to keep me strong 💪🏻 they help me gain the confidence and courage to keep moving forward despite my rapist being free, walking around like he did nothing wrong.

Heartbreaking I'm Kassi Pierre, similar to what I'm facing in the U.S. I have a lot of mental illnesses , I am disabled i have Major Depressive disorder, anxiety, Bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, Psychosis, and a possible new diagnosis being Shisco-affective I've been staying at hospital for months with treatments for the past few years, I feel like a prisoner. Afterwards I was raped, twice and i am constantly being street harassed and molested. I couldn't leave the house or finish my university. It became a bigger problem when i try to commit suicide. People don't want me to be gay and forcing me to be straight that's why I was raped and I'm not allowed to meet other gay women. I am persecuted and I think the government is involved.

Thank you for writing this..... I hid away for days not saying anything to anyone,being tormented in my own mind, believing it was my fault, he was a friend, I quit fighting all of them praying I could go home, and I felt the same,that I couldn't call it rape, after weeks of hiding it,and continueing to work with the person who himself started it and allowed his friends to ravage my body, when my silence was broken,I was hated by everyone,I was the bad person, I lost my job, and suffered years of hate from people who were my friends, I've wanted to speak for years,but have never found the courage, your courage has given me courage to reach out to those who have been through the same. We are not dirty,we are not whores, we are beautiful, those that didn't believe is are blinded by the charm of the men whom are deeply evil

Hi, you inspire me so much. thank you for speaking out. i'm an 18 yo girl, i just graduated from school last week. a month ago, i had a field trip. we took a bus and it was a 15 hour drive. i fell asleep and at 4 am, i woke up to feel my breast being groped by a guy friend of mine who was sitting behind me. i flinched and he pulled his hand away. just like you, i then freezed. i even pretended i was still asleep. he poked my arms several times (i think it was to test where there i am awake. i pretended i just woke up and play with my phone until we arrived. i was still very sleepy but terrified to fall asleep. I think he doesn't know that I know what he did, till this day. Although i am no longer shocked, it is still breaking me apart. what should i do?

Just couldnt figure out how he has no power on her and couldnt break her when he got what he wanted (which was to ejaculate) and already caused her to want to die. Im sure he couldnt care less how powerful she's feeling right now. Makes no sense.

I call b******t on the entire thing. 1. I doubt anyone wants to rape that ... tank. 2. I doubt if someone made an advance, that it was unwanted. She allegedly let the guy in her apartment and knowong he had a family (or didn't do her research). 3. Sounds like she regretted the sex because he would not leave his family for the tank and made a false rape claim. Wouldn't be the firs time it has happened.

This is exactly why men choose to rape fat women - they assume no one will believe the victim. At my heaviest, I was 333 pounds. I'm not attracted to classically handsome men at all. I would have turned down any prom-king type guy, even. Just not my thing. You assume that because we're fat, we don't have a type. You assume that we'll take anything we can get. Plenty - plenty - of men want to have sex with fat women. It may not be socially accepted, but men definitely still hit on me plenty even when I was very large (and yes, I turned them all down.)

Shattering Khaos 7 years ago

She's about 4 stones from her own episode of My 600 Pound Life. "Stop fighting... it's already in..." Maybe she couldn't tell because it could've easily been a roll he was "in". "How can someone like you say no to someone like me?!" Looks like the only thing she says "no" to is healthy habits and veggies. Shattering the silence of SEXUAL ASSAULT? Looks like the only thing shatter here is the Earth beneath her feet. Now she wants to be strong? Not when she was trying to fight cravings? No? Not when she was at the buffet? No? Only thing that ever had power over her might've been her monstrous appetite. He tried to break her? What; was she dressed in a KitKat color scheme? She didn't let him win... had it not been for the context, I would have assumed she didn't let him win the pie eating contest. What would happen if she put all her weight on that tree... She's a survivor alright - a survivor of cardiac arrest, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. I''m going to hell. Straight away!

Thank you for speaking out... god bless you. ❤️ I too, was raped by someone I knew. He was actually my boyfriend when it happened so I wasn't even sure how to react or what to say. Not many people who know me, know what happened....and it's really hard. But it's already been 3 years since it happened, and although I fear running into him around town, I have my wonderful fiancé and my best friends and sisters to keep me strong 💪🏻 they help me gain the confidence and courage to keep moving forward despite my rapist being free, walking around like he did nothing wrong.

I want every person to know they do mot have to be quiet, they dont have to be scared. And you are helping this happen by speaking out. Thank you xx

Heartbreaking I'm Kassi Pierre, similar to what I'm facing in the U.S. I have a lot of mental illnesses , I am disabled i have Major Depressive disorder, anxiety, Bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, Psychosis, and a possible new diagnosis being Shisco-affective I've been staying at hospital for months with treatments for the past few years, I feel like a prisoner. Afterwards I was raped, twice and i am constantly being street harassed and molested. I couldn't leave the house or finish my university. It became a bigger problem when i try to commit suicide. People don't want me to be gay and forcing me to be straight that's why I was raped and I'm not allowed to meet other gay women. I am persecuted and I think the government is involved. More information on my facebook page.

Thank you for writing this..... I hid away for days not saying anything to anyone,being tormented in my own mind, believing it was my fault, he was a friend, I quit fighting all of them praying I could go home, and I felt the same,that I couldn't call it rape, after weeks of hiding it,and continueing to work with the person who himself started it and allowed his friends to ravage my body, when my silence was broken,I was hated by everyone,I was the bad person, I lost my job, and suffered years of hate from people who were my friends, I've wanted to speak for years,but have never found the courage, your courage has given me courage to reach out to those who have been through the same. We are not dirty,we are not whores, we are beautiful, those that didn't believe is are blinded by the charm of the men whom are deeply evil

I'm so sorry that this has happened to you. A family member had this happened to her so I understand on a limited level how you must have felt. Good for you for being strong and overcoming this! Who ever it was, let them burn in Hell. You are an amazing woman and I hope you have an amazing life ahead of you.

Hi, you inspire me so much. thank you for speaking out. i'm an 18 yo girl, i just graduated from school last week. a month ago, i had a field trip. we took a bus and it was a 15 hour drive. i fell asleep and at 4 am, i woke up to feel my breast being groped by a guy friend of mine who was sitting behind me. i flinched and he pulled his hand away. just like you, i then freezed. i even pretended i was still asleep. he poked my arms several times (i think it was to test where there i am awake. i pretended i just woke up and play with my phone until we arrived. i was still very sleepy but terrified to fall asleep. I think he doesn't know that I know what he did, till this day. Although i am no longer shocked, it is still breaking me apart. what should i do?

No better way to "break the silence" than to silently post your message.

Just couldnt figure out how he has no power on her and couldnt break her when he got what he wanted (which was to ejaculate) and already caused her to want to die. Im sure he couldnt care less how powerful she's feeling right now. Makes no sense.

I found it intriguing that you weren't able to overpower him just enough to get some help. And even more intriguing that somebody wanted you

Six days later? So no physical evidence. Your word against his. And women never lie (except Emma, Jackie, Lena Dunham, Ellie Clougherty...).

I would grab a knife and slash you to shreds but I'm not a lazy, useless misogynist who slams people for their body size on Bored Panda, unlike you.

I don't understand the logisitics of how someone would rape you, they'd have to hold back fat flaps to penetrate and you have mass on them.

You are such a disaster of a human being that I don't even know how to roast you. Just stop with the rape jokes. It makes you 1000x worse than the disgusting creature you are.

You are full of s**t. Who would rape someone like you? A penis has to get hard for it to happen, right? Now go lose some weight, manhater!

So are you. Have you ever heard of something called empathy? I suppose not. Well, I guess the only way to cure your existence is to pitch yourself to the depths of hell, where you'll rot for all eternity. Everyone would be so much happier if you suddenly just dropped dead.
