When the “woke” mania swept the country in 2020, I took a step back and reevaluated where I stood and why I stood there. To my surprise, I found that I agreed with conservatives and libertarians on a number of issues. I opposed childhood gender transitions, unlawful and divisive DEI mandates, and the excesses of Critical Race Theory. I argued against biological males competing in women’s sports and being housed in women’s prisons. I did so loudly and publicly, losing many friends along the way. My stance wasn’t rooted in hate or fear but in a commitment to reason and fairness. My loyalty was to the truth, not to political tribes. Maintaining my integrity cost me greatly, but I believed it was worth it.



Downvoted because no one needs to read this type of stupidity.
Agreed with both sides unfortunately.
Downvote - sure. Fuck this shit.
Upvote - sure. Every moron who even slightly considered this perspective should get their ass ripped into.
It’s not even a particularly well laid-out column; she rambles back and forth.
