I don't often post here, but I read this article today and was so appalled

'A teenage girl who was dropped from her high school's cheerleading squad after refusing to chant the name of a basketball player who had sexually assaulted her must pay compensation of $45,000 (£27,300) after losing a legal challenge against the decision.'

That's fantastic, SGM.

Yes, I think there's a difference between telling someone they were raped to telling someone they weren't raped. No one has the right to tell someone they can't own that experience, but denial is something that people sometimes need help with.

I didn't mean to sound like I thought the next time would happen.

I like the video, it made me smile but it kind of says it's so obvious it's silly we should have to say this.

There's an online petition you can sign to support HS (the young woman)
