I heard every disgusting word that Sen. Graham said then ― that Blasey wasn’t credible because she had waited so long to come forward. But what hit me hardest was his assertion that we shouldn’t believe Blasey because she couldn’t recall the exact date or location of the assault. When Sen. Graham broke free from the press gaggle, I told him that I had been raped 13 years ago and that I didn’t know the exact date. But Sen. Graham knew none of that. We don’t report because people of color and LGBTQ people are at risk of surviving violence only to face further victimization through state violence.
