I feel like my PTSD has manifested in hating ugly men... thoughts?

CW: SA

I'm a conventionally attractive female adult and ugly men genuinely make me upset if they try to make any romantic/sexual gesture towards me at all. I truly find it disgusting if they even attempt to show mild interest in me. It offends me to my core. I'm probably more vocal about my hatred of ugly men than I should be for social appropriateness purposes but I Can't help it. When they approach me at a bar I want to throw up. THey're never nice either, they always want to neg in some way.

Anyways, in college I was dealing with being molested as a child poorly and was exploring the Apps. One guy was infinitely fatter/less attractive in person. He definitely drugged me with not roofies, but something chemical and insane, and we had "sex" where I passed out a bunch. Then we started "dating" and it lasted for a few months but he was so weirdly abusive and villainous I couldn't converse normally for months after and have significant issues even though this was an embarrassingly long time ago.

Then in college I got catfished yet again, and was pressured every step of the way. It was really evident I was not enjoying that either.

Anyways yeah is this bad?

With men my brain thinks ugly = bad
