This essay examines how disability interacts with gender in public discourse about sexual violence by investigating the ableist implications of two popular labels commonly applied to people who have experienced rape or sexual assault: survivors and liars. Using a rhetorical approach in conjunction with disability theory, I analyze how discourses of compulsory survivorship ask people who experience sexual assault to overcome disability and appear nondisabled, whereas rape‐hoax narratives frame others as mentally ill, mad, or irrational. Taken together, I argue, these frameworks form a discursive paradox for people who experience sexual assault, specifically marking their mental fitness and placing them in a rhetorically impossible situation when attempting to disclose sexual assault. Demonstrating how these frameworks silence articulations of pain and the realities of mental illness that can result from sexual trauma brings debates about mental disability and pain more centrally into disability studies through a feminist lens.

幸存者，骗子和不健康的人：修辞学上的不可能和强奸创伤的披露

本文通过调查通常适用于经历过强奸或性侵犯的人的两个流行标签（幸存者和说谎者）的能力主义含义，检验残疾在公共场所关于性暴力的论述中如何与性别相互作用。我将修辞方法与残疾理论相结合，分析了强制性生存的话语如何让经历过性侵犯的人克服残疾并显得没有残疾，而强奸骗局的叙述则将其他人描述为精神病，疯子或非理性。我认为，这些框架合起来构成了遭受性侵犯的人的话语悖论，特别是标记他们的心理健康状况，并在试图公开性侵犯时将他们置于修辞上不可能的境地。
