Even though I was assigned male, I learned to fear male violence early in my life but it was a different kind of male violence than what other girls/women learn to fear.

I was targeted for physical and emotional abuse regularly starting when I was 5 years old and I suspect that's because I just "vibed wrong" to the boys around me. I didn't know how to blend in well with them and I was kicked, punched, and beaten up with some degree of regularity. The emotional abuse was constant.
