I don't think I can say anything better than what Theo said. I'm so sorry this happened to you. My husband was assaulted by a male when he was 8, then by his mother's female friends when he was a teenager. It makes me very angry. And he thinks he's handled it all well and doesn't need to work on it with a T. Someday, I'll get him there. Some people don't realize it happens to guys too. Men are less likely to talk about it, they feel a greater shame and guilt than women do. You know it's not your fault and you can overcome your trauma. Have you ever talked to a therapist about this?
