We are here… I am feeling similarly triggered. It feels like a gut punch that so many people in this country didn’t think SA wasn’t a deal breaker. I’m so sad for all the little girls that will grow up in this country. And I’m disgusted with their parents for voting for that predator. Sending you and other survivors hugs today 💜

Also grieving and not coping well. My SA happened when I was in college, and my Title IX experience was shaped by Trump. Even though the preponderance of evidence standard essentially “proved” my assailant was guilty, Trump’s changes to Title IX protected the guy from suspension or expulsion from our nursing program. So it was me that left the school. He’s now a nurse, and I am not. Today feels like Donald Trump and his whole posse of protected sexual predators have won again and stomped out the possibility that anyone will ever properly be held accountable. I’m so sorry girls. This really really really hurts.
