“The conflict between the will to deny horrible events and the will to proclaim them aloud is the central dialectic of psychological trauma.” ― Judith Lewis Herman, Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence - From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror

“In order to escape accountability for his crimes, the perpetrator does everything in his power to promote forgetting. If secrecy fails, the perpetrator attacks the credibility of his victim. If he cannot silence her absolutely, he tries to make sure no one listens.”

Quote
After a traumatic experience, the human system of self-preservation seems to go onto permanent alert, as if the danger might return at any moment. Physiological arousal continues unabated. In this state of hyperarousal, which is the first cardinal symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder, the traumatized person startles easily, reacts irritably to small provocation, and sleeps poorly.

Depictions of CPTSD for people with CPTSD (instead of feeling like an after-school special)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“The child trapped in an abusive environment is faced with formidable tasks of adaptation. She must find a way to preserve a sense of trust in people who are untrustworthy, safety in a situation that is unsafe, control in a situation that is terrifyingly unpredictable, power in a situation of helplessness. Unable to care for or protect herself, she must compensate for the failures of adult care and protection with the only means at her disposal, an immature system of psychological defenses.” —Judith Lewis Herman, Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence - From Domestic Abuse to Political Terrorism

Top six books of 2023! It hasn't been a great year for reading, personally, but I've got one stunning novel, three powerful/painful/difficult/invigorating/healing nonfiction books, and two lovely escapist reads (one far more gut-wrenching than the other). Tagged by @bluestockingcouture.
Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason
The Feminist Killjoy Handbook by Sara Ahmed
Trauma and Recovery by Judith Lewis Herman
Strangers to Ourselves by Rachel Aviv
The Glass Town Game by Catherynne M. Valente
Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
Tagging @tinydooms, @currentboat, @of-a-toast-and-tea, @tanaudel, @doh-rae-me if this strikes your fancy!

"Many abused children cling to the hope that growing up will bring escape and freedom. But the personality formed in an environment of coercive control is not well adapted to adult life. The survivor is left with fundamental problems in basic trust, autonomy, and initiative."

But the daughter belongs to the father alone. Though the incest taboo forbids him to make sexual use of his daughter, no particular man’s rights are offended, should he choose to disregard this rule. As long as he ultimately gives his daughter in marriage, he has fulfilled the social purpose of the rule of the gift. Until such time as he chooses to give her away, he has the uncontested power to do with her as he wishes. Hence, of all possible forms of incest, that between father and daughter is the most easily overlooked.”

So no, I do not think that the sex trade is harmless, and I do not think it should be decriminalized. I have a lot of good data backing me up. A number of countries now have followed another policy, which decriminalizes the person who’s being sold, but still criminalizes the pimp, the brothel keeper, and the John, the sex buyer.
