“I felt uncomfortable in my own body. I felt unsafe.” Anne Paulk remembers, “I felt responsible for what an older person did to me.” When she was just three years old, she was exposed to pornography and molested. In that moment her sense of safety and self-identity was destroyed.
Looking back, she states, “I literally, overnight, dressed more like a tomboy. I was no longer interested in dolls. It was everything to do with throwing off the feminine because it was unsafe. When I was about six years old, a little girl made a pass at me, and then she kissed me. What I realized right then is I felt like I had power as opposed to being powerless than the other circumstance. And that ignited a lesbian desire later on in life. That was really the starting point of that turning of my feelings.”
