If you feel that experience is causing you problems now, find a sexual assault oounsellor, but don't label yourself in the meantime.
It's common for women who've experienced sexual assault by males either as children or as adults to be triggered by specific actions, appearance, manner or even the smell of some men.
It took me quite a lot of expert counselling to stop being triggered by vehicles similar to that driven by the man who raped me, men who even slightly resembled him or men wearing fluoro jackets.
Is it normal to feel this way or am I sexist/homophobic?
