Monica,

CONGRATULATIONS on the success of your writing! πŸŽ‰

I, too, attended FREEDOM FEST in Memphis, as an Exhibitor (Booth Staff) for my beloved BRAVER ANGELS (braverangels.org). πŸ˜‡πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ As an Organization working hard to help heal America's Polarization, we are helping to teach people how to speak to one another across our divides with CIVILITY and CURIOSITY, learning from one another personal perspectives and (perhaps) mischaracterizations of one another.

I wish that I had the opportunity to meet you while we were enjoying the exciting and enlightening opportunities offered at FREEDOM FEST. Maybe next year? I'll search YouTube for your Break-Out Session and look forward to hearing your presentation!

Thank you so much for sharing your disappointing experience. Being a PAID SUBSCRIBER to MEDIUM from their inception (as a small way to support their up and coming platform) I'm very disheartened to hear about you experience. I'll be revisiting my support of MEDIUM seeing that their commitment to "Free Speech" has proven questionable.

Thank you for standing up for the rights of those participating in Women's Sports by calling out the unfair advantage of allowing those born as biological males to compete against biological females.

I am not as aware of the challenges to the Lesbian Community, but I hope to learn more from your Presentation and Writing.

Blessings ~

Thank you, Rita! I hope you enjoyed FreedomFest as much as we did. Hope to attend next year and see you there.

The climate on Medium changed dramatically and rapidly post-COVID. Once upon a time, I was a top writer, and Medium curators routinely selected my articles for the splash page. But groupthink has set in quickly, and then platform has become a different beast entirely.

WOW! What an unexpected turn of events. I can't even begin to imagine the confusion you must have felt.

We'd love to have you join us for a CIVIL and CURIOUS conversation at braverangels.org! We attempt to listen and learn on ALL issues which have so deeply depolarized our country.
