In honor of Christmas, I asked my mom (a pastor) today where Jesus got his Y chromosome if his was a virgin birth. We came to the conclusion that Jesus could’ve had Turner’s Syndrome (only one X chromosome). Jesus was intersex!
Anyone in Connecticut who claims to be a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement needs to read this article today. Then ask yourself, are you prepared to support policies that will desegregate our state?

PSA: Black lives don't JUST matter if they're innocent and "good".
They don't need to play violin to kittens like Elijah or be the wrong person asleep in their beds like Breonna. They don't need to be mild-mannered, charitable, or educated model Blacks for their lives to matter.

I watched Athlete A tonight. I already knew the story well. I still get so, so angry every time I learn more about USA Gymnastics and the culture of abuse it has perpetuated for decades.
I am so in awe of the bravery of all of the survivors who came forward. I am in awe of all of the gymnasts who have survived abuse in this sport, those who were successful in spite of it, those who left the sport, or anywhere in between.
