*Content note: discussion of sexual assault and male survivors.
@tyherndonofficial describes the assault that happened to him at 21 on a national TV show. The cognitive distortion of “I participated.” The first time he medicated. The blueprint for years of self-blame and worthlessness before he found language for what had happened.

People don’t understand what that does to a person! Much love goes out to him! It’s something that leaves you for the rest of your life

20 is nothing. Try understanding what happened to you at the age of 7. Being beaten into the dirt, pants pulled down and sodomized. No one saved me

As a rape survivor myself I understand that journey. I was told that I deserved to be raped because I was an openly gay guy in a small town. I was 19.
