Someone posted a comment on my wall yesterday on a very uncomfortable situation for hard working female athletes that are being subjected to compete against an individual using performance enhancing drugs against them. And not only “winning”, but destroying them physically, mentally, and morally.

He said that by me posting about it only “riles” people up and that by speaking out only divides our culture into a worse war with a “mob mentality”. In other words, and what i think he’s saying, is now I’m the bad guy.
On first look it would seem the bearer of bad news should be the one to blame. And that nobody should say a word about it. But maybe that’s the reason why we’ve gotten to a place where we have, so quickly in our society. Silence, complacency, and ultimately fear. Fear from the true mob mentality of today.
I don’t believe this culture war will simply stop with silence. However, it will and must get better when everyone can form their own opinion and be able to properly articulate that opinion freely into the marketplace of ideas. And everyone can be tolerant to an idea that doesn’t line up with their own.
MLK said this quote about staying silent. I believe this quote. I also believe the story of a girl who is taking men’s hormones in public school, and positions herself in an incredibly gross and higher advantage (while everyone stays silent and complacent at a disadvantage) is a story that matters deeply and must be talked about. It matters to the foundation of our humanity. I was going to say country, but it’s way more than that, it’s humanity.
Because if our culture can’t even know and recognize that girls are girls and boys are boys,and those girls will grow to be women and boys to be men, then we’ve already lost the cultural and spiritual war. Clearly, our foundation has been cracked and compromised. And if our foundation is having the issues, I’m going to talk about the issues. Uncomfortably sometimes.
Yes, I can annoy my wife, family, and even myself with some of the things I think and say. But I’m going to say them anyway. Why? Because that’s who I am and what I do. It’s me and I believe it’s worth it. And its been me for a very long time. Remember, if you don’t want to be subjected to my brain, there’s a little three button icon in the top right hand corner that can send my posts into silence on your device.
Use your voice. Everyone has a small circle of influence. Even if it’s just you. Entertain yourself if that’s the case. Of course we all need to love more, but please just don’t be silent because of fear. Let your voice heard on topics you’re passionate about inside your head. Life’s too short to stay silent. Have a beautiful day.
