Cori displayed an-all-too rare maturity in the face of the protestors. Thank you for being an example of what is needed - on all sides!! - to move the needle forward in protecting women and children.

Yes, "It’s a moment to stand firm, guided by common sense and compassion." There is much work yet to be done.

The new administration and possible policy changes are too late for my family and my daughter, but I continue to write and stand firm in hopes that other families will avoid the tragedy that occurred in my family.

It's ironic that this post congratulates Corinna Cohn's rational, polite, and civil appearance at the school board meeting while it also seems to celebrate the inauguration of a man who would have been rude, insulting, dishonest and unhinged.

Sure, Trump will take a whack at gender ideology, and one that is deserved, but I think this victory will prove Pyrrhic. One more triumph like this and the nation will be lost.

I didn't read this post as a celebration of Trump:

"For many of us who began this journey as progressives, this moment is bittersweet. It’s not about loyalty to Trump but about necessity—a fight to protect children, restore fairness, and defend reality against the tide of gender ideology. This isn’t a time for smugness or hostility. It’s a moment to stand firm, guided by common sense and compassion."

It's not a celebration of Trump, but it might as well be. If you see him as "necessary" to your cause (even as a "necessary evil"), you need to to rethink your strategy. We need courageous whistleblowers and multiple lawsuits to stop gender ideology. We don't need Trump!

I think I choked on the "sweet" part, but, otherwise, I can see where you are coming from.

It’s not about loyalty to Trump but about necessity? Are you serious? We don't "need" Trump to fight gender ideology. The man is mentally unstable, and we don't need or want him for anything at all. So he announces there are just two genders? Good for him and his MAGA base, but don't think it will help your cause. He is already motivating the far left to dig in their heels, just when some of them were beginning to get a clue. Meanwhile, he's setting out to destroy what remains of our fragile democracy.
