Wow, thanks so much for sharing this Kat. I'm so sorry that this person did this to you, and I'm so impressed and proud that you came forward in a way that is so you, vulnerable, dignified and optimistic.
And agreed, this administration is scary and infuriating. It's awoken the Luigi in me

Thank you, Ornella. I appreciate it. It’s probably a good thing I wasn’t publishing in 2025, as my perspective might have been less optimistic.
May more courageous and empathetic voices and people win out.

This is incredibly powerful, Kat, hank you for sharing it. The pernicious, continued victimization, whether intentional or by people acting without empathy, is an injustice only those who have experienced it can understand, but the rest must call out wherever and whenever we see it.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I hope that more of us take paths in which we speak and act in favor of justice and helping those with less power/who are being attacked. It’s going to take a massive groundswell to get as many people as possible safely (or safely-ish) through these times.

Madre mía, no tenía ni idea. Espero que escribirlo te haya ayudado y hayas ayudado a muchas mujeres. Mucho ánimo para lo que viene.

Muchas gracias. Lo hice para intentar ayudarle a otras. Como ya no trabajaba en el sector, podría hacerlo sin tanto impacto en mi carrera. Probablemente me hizo más daño personalmente, pero fue el coste que asumí. A la vez, coraje es un músculo y pasar por la publicidad de eso me hizo más fuerte.
