This speech is fantastic. He's supporting HB148.

Everything he's saying is so reasonable and common sense, respectful of both sides but centering his points around the position of biological women in our violently patriarchal society, and it's mind-boggling to me that so many people listen to him and then listen to the man who follows him, and think that Jonah Wheeler is the one speaking hate.

Just watched the video. Absolutely fantastic. I hope—pray—that this guy is going places. He's been on my radar before; I heard he'd read up about the issue and come down firmly on the side of women.
I also hope he doesn't leave the party. At least from what I've seen from him so far, this is the kind of change we need.
Edit: Found out he also originally endorsed RFK Jr. 💀 OK, maybe that's not quite the kind of change we need...but...I mean, still. lmao

It was a great speech! I sent him an email to thank him for standing up for women. 👏👏👏

Too bad about his support of Jr, though.

I know, right? 🤣 I was talking to @snowdrops about it and she said, "people contain multitudes." LOL. I still think it's important that he's brave enough to speak up, though. Now I'm praying he doesn't go the Tulsi Gabbard route. 💀

Still, I hope that the defections from the Dem Party Orthodoxy increase exponentially. Surely they are not blind to what happened in November. Surely they are not blind to the fact that the majority of Americans don’t support males in girls’ and women’s sports, etc. So at some point, political self-preservation surely should push more such defections. Each courageous action helps the next politician consider the defection from orthodoxy option.
