unfortunate circumstances, like the whole Leah Thomas thing, like the San Francisco State thing, like the things that continue to happen, it takes those to really see the harm and the severity and the likelihood that they continue at an exponential rate.
So again, I kind of look at what's going on or, you know, in particular what happened to me as a lemons to lemonade thing, right?
You take something that should have never happened to anyone, but you do good with it.
And that's certainly what I've been trying to do over these past, again, two years.
There's been a lot of good stuff that's been done.
We see a lot of the negative.
We see a lot of the bad.

That's what gets attention.
That's what gets clicks.
But now in just two short years, 24 states have some sort of fairness and women's sports bill when only I think three years ago, only one state did.

Lots of traction, lots of momentum.
Like I said, four states implementing a bill now that defines the word woman.
