I'm very torn about the whole situation as a survivor myself. However, I found one article that just made sigh with relief that these young gymnasts are getting some recognition in the process.

I guess this doctor has been molesting these high profile gymnasts and these girls are underage, so this is a very positive admission.
Some of them, I remain undecided until I can see evidence that this is created social change and isn't just a temporary headline. The sexual assault survivor community is large and has existed now for the last 20 years and I haven't seen a whole lot of recognition of this. So this does make me feel slightly skeptical that people who have already said they experienced abuse and went unheard for years and years and years are still being overshadowed by people who can make more high profile admissions of being sexually assaulted.
For me, it is still just important to realize that being a victim of abuse is not something fashionable or something wants as a means to fit in with others. It is a terrible burden no one should have to carry and for anyone who really experiences it, this is concerning and I feel sympathy, but like I said. There is already a huge survivor community that is still being ignored even though countless people are continuing to "come forward" every day.
I can't help but feel a little skeptical about the motivation behind the media coverage because of this.
