You can hold two ideas in your head at the same time.
You can be pro-men and also anti-sexism.
You can be pro-women’s rights and also support trans people.
You can be pro-environment and against alternative energy fraud and waste.
You can have an allegiance to a political party and also be fiercely critical of any of their mismanagement.
You can support freedom of religion, but draw the line when that religion wants to fundamentally change the structure of the US.
You can support people with new ideas, and also tell them when their ideas don’t hold water.
You can also change your mind whenever you feel like it.
When I spoke about abuse in gymnastics in 2008, people said I was a liar and a grifter and shitty gymnast even though I'd been a national champion. (Not sure why that would matter if I was shitty -- do shitty gymnasts deserve abuse? And I've said repeatedly I was the worst national champion that ever was so you're not hurting my feelings to say it.)
Then Dominique Moceanu spoke out a year later, an Olympic gold medalist, and they called her a grifter and a liar and an unwell person and an ungrateful former gymnast. The naysayers couldn't say she was a crap gymnast, she had a gold medal. So they went another route.
It wasn't until 2016-2018 that the cascade of Olympians spoke out.
And then everyone knew it was true.
When the trolls can't address your argument they call you names.
We are seeing this now in real time.
@Riley_Gaines_ spoke about men in women's sports in 2022. "You suck, you were 5th place."
Then Sophie Cunningham spoke in July and she is a grifter MAGA Barbie and bench player (with a firm grip on reality).
Now @SabalenkaA has spoken. She is #1 in the world in women's tennis. What do you have now people?? Seriously? Are you gonna say she sucks too? Is crazy? Is Russian? What??
Let the cascade begin.
We will win.
Because we speak the truth.

I am not optimistic about the future because I fail to see the very real problems surrounding us.
I’m optimistic because I know my identity is in Christ. And God loves a good comeback story.
Pun intended.
NEW: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear is demanding in a new letter that Mitch McConnell "directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign."
People say that the American healthcare system kicks people out of hospital rooms way too early to make way for new patients, but I have an older friend from Kentucky who is 84 years old and the hospital has kept him 37 days for a minor case of pneumonia
🎾Breaking: No men allowed in women’s professional tennis
The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) implements sex-screening for all players “to preserve the integrity of women’s professional tennis and maintain fair competition conditions for all players…”
Thank you to tennis stars @Martina@ChrissieEvert and @SabalenkaA for being outspoken advocates of fair sport and equal opportunities for women. 👏👏👏
Across the board, regardless of who the president is, when the President of the United States makes an address to the nation, federally licensed broadcasters should broadcast it.
If they refuse, they should lose their licenses.
I can think of no better argument for term limits than millions of people on social media honestly asking whether or not a sitting U.S. Senator is alive.
As the records keep piling up, it's important to remember that he missed multiple majors because he refused to take the COVID shot. And that was back when he was still winning majors.
