TBC I don't need a cis man telling me how I should proceed after I was
sexually assaulted.

TBC I don't need a cis man euphemizing a sexual predator's behavior.

TBC I don't need a cis man "researching" the situation to see if there were
more incidents.

TBC I don't need a cis man adding to the tone policing in this thread.

TBC you are mansplaining right now Steve, and that's the last fucking thing
I need right now.
