I was in the kink community last year and the experiences traumatized me. We have pride month in my Country this year and this is extremely triggering for me.
Today an official organization for disabled queer people posted a picture showing BDSM as something beautiful and safe.
I can't take it anymore since I know the truth. The community is festered with rape and abuse. How the fuck do I cope? It's everywhere. People who don't know anything about it just see it as "a free sexuality."
I get so depressed by this. It's literally everywhere. This pro BDSM push and the trans community is a genius move by The Patriarchy. Nobody listens to individual women like me.
How do I cope?
I think you should continue to do what you're doing. Make comments, speak up. More people than you realize feel the way you do. Maybe join a group that is pushing back against BDSM/poly/sex positive nonsense (Gays Against Groomers might be a good choice).
