We may not get along with someone, or we may think they aren't a good person, but that doesn't mean we should doubt their experience. Someone can be displaying signs of a mental illness, but that doesn't mean something traumatic couldn't, or shouldn't have happened to them. Sexual violence is never, ever deserved.

How we feel about sexual violence and survivors shouldn't be conditional.
