Paperback Rocker

Meet Kelsey, a school nurse, and her wife Faith. Yesterday, they confronted a couple because the husband was wearing a Charlie Kirk shirt and hat at the Issaquah Farmers Market. They celebrated his death, called people “maggots,” and mocked Jesus… all while the couple stayed calm and kept recording. This is the new standard of “tolerance.” You’re still allowed to wear what you want in public. That shouldn’t be controversial.

Cheryl Reeve on the trans sports bans from her perspective of being a leader in women’s sports “Of course it weighs on me, the attacks on trans people, the attacks that they’ve gone through… it seems like it’s got way more aggressive, it’s sort of sickening when the issues they are trying to tackle are really not issues, the number of transgender athletes they are now making laws for and creating a problem, to get elected…what I’m hopeful for is that people have gotten themselves more educated and they understand that, that’s not actually a problem… exclusion is never the answer, separate isn’t equal, and trans lives matter, so to take away something that’s so valuable that sports brings to young people in particular and what it does, as I have a youngster, encourages you to be part of a team and what it gives you in terms of teamwork, leadership, competitiveness, all the things, they have every right to that as well”
