    I would not. A man is the reason I have permanent brain injury, ptsd, and permanent loss of some fine motor. I know women can be cruel too, but I don’t think the extent of the damage would be the same if such a thing were to occur. (I deleted a whole paragraph after this blaming myself for my motivation at the time and making bad choices. Still a bit ashamed than any of it happened.)

    Tl;dr “no”

        Thank you. It’s been a while now so honestly I’m all better and independent. What’s funny is there is still a biological attraction, my brain just says it wouldn’t be fair bc I would always be waiting for the other shoe to drop. So if I could turn it all off I would probably feel a lot better. I’m sure a lot of people have this problem.

          Well done for getting through that, youre a warrior! Yes sadly many do have that and the fear is understandable. My tattooist has a t shirt that says “the greatest tragedy in my life is that I’m attracted to men”.
