When the Access Hollywood tapes came out in 2016 & male Christian leaders were silent, dismissive, or minimizing (w/the exception of @drmoore), I was in a lot of rooms w/male leaders discussing it. None knew I was in therapy dealing w/the effects of sexual assault that (cont)
came wrapped in Christian leadership. I would dig my fingernails into my hands as I saw men I knew—and who knew me—shrugging off Trump what I was still trying to find a way to believe I could survive.

Trump didn’t upend my heart. The response of Christian leaders did.
Typo in my tweet above. Should have said “shrugging off Trump *boasting* of what I was still trying to find a way to believe I could survive.”
