For every story like the Cornell gang rape, there are thousands more that couldn’t make it into the light. I wrote about a few dozen of them at one university in On the Wrong Side. The university’s treatment of survivors is eerily similar to what Jane Doe at Cornell experienced.

In 2025, Trump was inaugurated into his second term and immediately ordered the Department of Education to stop investigating complaints about sexual violence or other violations of women’s Title IX rights.

(There’s a separate thread to write about why Biden’s Title IX regulation was also very bad. It was written by schools, not survivors, so it actually expanded perpetrator impunity and increased surveillance of survivors. We’re honestly better off without it—even though we’re still in a bad place.)

There was also a sense that Trump losing re-election would fix everything. But Biden dragged his feet on undoing the damage of Title IX. And then HE lost re-election and his Title IX regulation was vacated before it ever really went into effect.

Trump’s Title IX regulation went into effect in 2020, where it received almost no media coverage during the pandemic. There were also few students on campus to participate in or protest the process. Schools went above and beyond in implementing hostility toward survivors.

The main reason you haven’t heard about campus sexual violence in a few years is because Trump and SCOTUS have made it much, much harder for survivors to come forward. You might vaguely remember that Title IX was a big battleground in his first term. And that we lost.

When people say college men know what consent is, and they choose to violate it, the data actually shows that is not true. We are not teaching our sons about consent. Part of the reason they keep assaulting women is bc their worldview and concept of consent is so broken. This is the patriarchy.

Trauma survivors can be MERCILESS w/ ourselves, telling ourselves EVERYTHING we feel or need is a "dramatic" "burden" we're imposing on someone else (even if we're alone in a room eating crackers). And right now someone's reading this thinking "OK, but I really AM that burden."

Of course we feel desperate & alone-- no one teaches us how to realistically set goals or build a life when our entire conscious experience feels uncomfortable & "wrong." Realistic trauma recovery starts from scratch, w/ "who am I?" & "what's the point?"-- which is intimidating.

It can feel enormously weird to exist in a body & life we feel does not match who we really are-- but that's what CPTSD & DID do. Symptoms like self harm & suicidal ideation are often desperate attempts to escape this unfamiliar, suffocating haze we feel we're trapped in.

CPTSD is not primarily about what happened to us. It's about how what happened to us turned us into someone we didn't choose. The "just get over it" people don't understand that. We don't "just get over" who we've become. We have to recondition, rewire, reshape ourselves.
