I say it’s up to the survivor to decide if their being sexually assaulted was traumatic and, if so, how much it effects them. I discovered one or two interesting articles on this topic, both written by cis female feminists if I remember correctly, talking about their experiences of being sexually assaulted (one of them multiple times) and asserting that they were not effected by them very much. They problematized how rape “should” effect someone. I’ll have to dig them up
