I'm not going to go into all the details to protect my security and safety, but. I was approached by someone before a couple times and today they crossed the bounds of my personal space in away that even after I told them Please stop, I don't like that and they continued touching me inappropriately. Anyone else have something like this occur?
I once had a guy (that happens to be a convicted sex offender) try to put his hands on me. I don't want to go into details, but he learned a valuable lesson.
That's pretty much the definition of sexual assault.

Whether or not you want to pursue the matter with the police is up to you.
Thank you for the link and you are right. I was definitely nieve coming into it.

Yes, it has happened to me, way back when I was a teenager. In hindsight, I realize that it was sexual assault, and that I should have done something about it at the time. We tend to be too "nice" for our own good. I should have broken the guy's fingers.
Yes. When I was in college(for theatre of course). I experienced a person at a party, who I was informed later, was known as "George the Groper". Kind of eye opeing.

Oh but it's ok, boys will be boys.

It's ok, he was drunk. No harm done.

Look at how you were dressed. You were asking for it.
It's time to break the cycle! It's never ok and it's never your fault!
GRRRRRR!
Sorry, this boys will be boys crap always gets me angry.
I broke his nose
Yes, when I was 12 and of course no one would believe me....still haunts me
It sickens me that others of us have had things happen to us to, but it is also reassuring that I'm not the only one. Thank you for everyone who has shared so far. Hugs

I can only think of one time that this actually happened to me. It was another trans woman who was my friend for a while. I'd made it clear several times that I wasn't interested in her, but she kept getting physically inappropriate anyway. I had to completely cut her off because she wouldn't listen even when I wasn't single anymore.
Other than that, other people have verbally harassed me all the time. That can be about as bad sometimes.
