MTF Transgender Caused By Abusive Male

I do a lot of reading on Psychological matters and sometimes take College courses. The DSM can most certainly put one in a tail spin if we take it as Gospel. I've noticed that certain schools of thought preach that MTF folk have been abused by males. That could be the case with me because of my own stepfather, and it is very easy for me to hate males. Off setting that, I have met numbers of males who were very nice and caring. The other day on an elevator a man started talking to me and by the time I got off I was gasping. I wonder if he had pinned me to the wall, if I would have resisted? My GOSH !

Being post op and not planning to have a relationship, I wonder if I am sometimes a danger to myself?
