If you were told that your CSA made you gay, and have been living with this belief, I am so sorry you were led astray.
CSA robs us of our ability to develop into our sexuality without having to navigate so many confusing emotions.
As it is, sexuality is not something easy to navigate for most people, as there continues to be so much shame around desire in general and especially when it falls outside the “norms”.
How can there be safety to even explore when pleasure is a sin in many religious communities?
I can tell you my first experience of CSA happened when I was 6, and I was never the same.
It took me until I was 32 to come to terms with being gay because I was led so far off course in an attempt to undo what was done to me.
CSA takes you away from your ability to deeply connect to your sexuality as you are developing into yourself.
It DOES NOT make you gay!
(a huge percentage of the population would be gay if this was true)
