I have taken some unpopular positions in my life but never in such a public way with such personally life-changing impacts as you have. I hope you realize that your courage is inspiring me and I suspect many others.

I was trying to figure how to say how much I admired her strength and courage. Thank you for your statement. I think you sum things up very well. I wish I were half as strong. Her family must be SO proud❤️❤️❤️

On some level, I understand the sting and shock. My 4 sisters suddenly started defending crossdressing men like my ex-husband, because a daughter in the younger generation suddenly announced a "non-binary" identity (along with far Left Marxist beliefs) and threw herself head first into a relationship with an autogynophile (man who is aroused by the thought of himself having a woman's sexual arousal) who calls himself "The Best Trans Real Estate Agent in Madison, Wisconsin." He suddenly had power over the entire family, because of woke culture in that university town, dominating family gatherings, demanding space for his sports car in my 94 year old mother's garage and traipsing around in tight pencil skirts and ridiculous size 30 high heels. This is despite the fact that he knew as a mother of 4 and 7 year old sons, I'd been financially abandoned by my husband who did the same. People do not see what they don't want to see. The abusing coaches and the AGPs show how deeply the sex deviance flows when tolerated without challenge.

You are strong, Jennifer, and I take heart that my strength will grow. Meanwhile, gardening!

So, you put yourself on the line publicly 3 times: abuse, Covid, and men in women’s sports. I’m in awe, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I heard you speak at Liberty Forum a couple years ago, and you encouraged the audience to, “Make a difference. Do something.” I put that as a calendar reminder daily. Haven’t always lived up to it, but it’s always been in the forefront of my mind.🙏🏾❤️💪🏾👊🏾👏🏾

Thank you for your continued courage! ALSO ... you may want to check into Safe Sport's ideological capture. If you haven't had to submit to any of their HR-ific educational modules lately you might not realize to what extent the new gender ideology (among others) is now rampant in their training ....

It’s been such a sad situation for so many years (decades), and the marginalization and abuse that people get for speaking up is abhorrent! And the offenders are protected, and even elevated. (this dynamics happens in so many realms)

Thank you for being a bright flame of truth and righteousness in a vast sea of opaque darkness! 🙏🏼💪🔥

It’s about time! How many abusive coaches are still out there because they know there are young women afraid to speak because of the humiliation they would suffer. You couldn’t have known,when you wrote Chalked Up, how badly you’d be treated by the gymnastics community,, but you persevered. Now, maybe it’s time to sue Levis for the loss of your job and the harassment your 1st Amendment rights cost you.

Wow - good for you! You're incredibly brave. other sports have coaches like this. SafeSport doesn't seem immune from politicking because some are still coaching. I am not brave.

Again and again, you stand up for what is right, and you get knocked down for it, then you get right back up again. That is truly inspiring and heroic, Jennifer. It's obviously not the response the other side is used to; that's how the abusers, the predators, the exploiters, even the simpering partisans get away with it, by silencing righteousness. Thank you for refusing to let them get away with it, and for inspiring us to do the same.

I love your use of the word simpering. We should all use it in the context of how you used it! Words have impact! 🩷

Keep seying it loud and clear because you are a great source of inspiration for millions of genuine humans who want to protect their wives, daughters and sisters against vile authorities and pervert coaches.

You are truly an inspiration. I am in awe of your resilience in the face of immense personal challenges and your unwavering commitment to standing up for women and young girls. Your courage in speaking truth to the insidious forces attempting to infiltrate our society is extraordinary. Thank you, thank you, thank you for using your voice and platform to lead and inspire others to do the same. Your work is making a profound difference.
