Today, on the steps of our nations capital, Thomas Massey (R), Ro Khana (D), and Majorie Taylor Greene (R) stood with many sex assault survivors to make sure that no body/person is left in the dark about the many crimes powerful people have committed against young women who have been threatened, and silenced by threats, and living in fear of retribution for revealing sex predators in our American society.
I too am a sex assault survivor: my first abusers were my dad and eldest brother (both of whom are dead, no longer here on earth), and a handful of other males who have committed the same atrocities against me. The only person in my family who believed me was my grandmother. Her daughter, my mother, never believed me. Years later my dad did something unimaginable to my mother and only after she recovered from her break from reality (she was catatonic for over a year, being treated in a mental health setting as well), was she ever able to comprehend any part of the sex assaults I have survived. But not entirely, which has led me to axe my relationship with my mom because she still supports the abuse and abusers in our family and outsiders who did this to me as well.
Sexual Assault and various forms of this abuse is about
: Power, controlling the narrative of the assaults and blaming the victims/survivors for choices others made to carry out their crimes against us. Abusers hide behind their social standing and hide behind the false veneer of their station in life.
I stand with every survivor because it has happened to me via members of my immediate family and a handful of outsiders who have done this to me too.
The real test for the Epstein Transparency Bill is if the Senate (all of them Republicans) will sign off on the bill without the usual ways Republicans try to water down bills in their political favor or how they try to cheat by gaining financially from their own corrupt ways of thinking.
Here’s a major “Hello” for you: we aren’t stupid. This is NOT political. It’s about getting justice for the abuse we have suffered so that this terrible behavior by sex predators is dealt with swiftly by social standards of acceptable accountability. To that end, to officially say in our country that sex assault if not tolerated. Full stop.
Please call your reps and senators to let them know that you stand with survivors. Please.
