I agree. There are gendered cultural factors that make males much more likely to be perpetrators and females much more likely to be targets of sexual violence, but it's a crime committed by and against people of all genders. I think in addition to better screening, we have a lot of work to do on able-bodied privilege/ableism and disability rights, and specifically how gender inequalities interact with the marginalization of disabled people.
