I dunno, man. Women have withheld information from me, it still bothers the fuck out of me. Is it sexual trauma? I wouldn't it label it that way. But it wounds. And when I hear terms like 'believe women,' I get a little angry, because it does not address the nuance of their withholding and how damaging it can be to your internal compass and sense of self-worth when you find out things that were not true.

From my reading of your words, you've been wounded. The pain is real. It doesn't matter what we call it, just that you heal.
