This year has been one hell of a year. I was hit by a car, i now call myself bionic woman because i have a rod in my femur and wrist, attacked by a dog, so now i have a load of scars on my arm and finally i came out slowly and surely to my friends. I already told my sister who though she does not agree with it, accepts it. My friends joke about it and often try to tell me how practically a man is better for me. On the 4th October 2010 i had been to the Gay and Lesbian Parade and really enjoyed it. It was a wonderful, colourful celebration. On the way home, a black man tried to chat me up, when i refused to go with him, he dragged me to a secluded spot by a highway and tried to rape me. I fought as best as i could but there was slight penetration. I managed to run into the highway and get away from him, i was so sure i was going to die. He threatened me with broken glass and held it to my neck as he tried to rape me. An ambulance came and i spent the night at the clinic and police station. I used to be a prostitute a few years ago and i was molested when i was 12, so its not like i was some miss prim and proper but this did it for me. This year i made a firm decision to be an Out and Proud despite what others may say and then this was done. Its been a hard few months and i have struggled alot with it. Yet despite this, i have some hope. Woman are more in touch with themselves, with emotions and bonding. It feels so good to know that after being used by men physically for no other reason but their lust and satisfaction, there is someone who will want me for ALL i have to offer, no just my body. No one has it easy, i would be very grateful to hear of your stories and how you cope through the turbulent times.
