About this listen

A few weeks ago, in February of this year, a Representative by the name of Laurel Libby, who serves in the House of Representative for the state of Maine, was censured by that body for what they termed, a reprehensible social media post. As it turns out, Libby had posted about a young, high school, male athlete who won first place in pole vaulting in the women’s category of competition in the state of Maine.

We need to talk about where we are right now in America on the topic of transgender athlete,s as well as the topic of censorship of those who wade into the public square and dare to speak their minds.
