debbie lesko, my friend and colleague, also on the judiciary committee, has been such a victim. she had amendments, she spoke brilliantly about the suffering and what needed to be done to fix the bill. and yet it was a political matter. too important that we not hurt the feelings of men who think they're women and therefore we're just going to let those women have to suffer. they just need to get over their trauma, their ptsd, their reliving of the nightmare of a sexual assault over and over again as people with more regard for somebody's hurt feelings than someone else's, a woman's terror, forces them over and over through such error time and time again. you know, when i read a story about a woman see a man and freaking out, starting to assault him, if a woman has been through a sexual assault before, my heart goes to her, not for the guy that walks in and traumatized her so. and yet the law, if the majority here has their way, that bill would become law and would raumatized women e traumatized, condemned to be traumatized repeatedly at the demand of the democratic jority in co
