Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Many male victims of same-sex rape report feeling a loss of masculinity or like they are less of a man as a result of the assault. This can contribute to long-term psychological harm and difficulty in recovery. Option A and B are incorrect as there is no evidence to suggest that male victims experience less trauma or trauma for fewer years than female victims. Option D is also incorrect as it assumes that the victim's gender identity is altered, which is not necessarily the case.
