not doing business with me because they disagree with me politically, I've just accepted.

And I just, I struggle with why so many people like,

I just struggle with this.

And I'll give you another example.

So I just did a speaking gig yesterday.

I had a keynote yesterday.

And the night before, we went out for dinner and a couple beers with the people that were organizing it.

And they brought in some of the VIPs from the event, standard kind of keynote thing.

And it was great.

And the guy who brought me into the event, he and I start talking about some of the crazy shit that's going on in schools right now to get to your kids thing.

Living in New York.

I shared with him that while my kids go to private Christian school, for all the reasons that I'm about to explain, I would take on 10 jobs if I needed to, to pay for this private school to not go.

Because on day one, my older son's best friend, sixth grade, he had two furries.

for lesbians, and the teacher said, your pronouns and your gender identity will be kept 100% secret from your parents, and I have no obligation to tell them.

So whatever you tell me to call you, whether it's dog or whatever, is completely acceptable.

That's day one.

That's the homeroom, day one, public school, New York.

That's insane.

okay so what's funny is all these people that i could tell were like kind of like ears up down here as soon as soon as the kids stuff they all came down and and then it became all like this is absolutely crazy how do we deal with this now they all like opened up so and my point saying that is i feel like when individuals like you like me people who have platforms people who have thought through these things at a deep level it's almost become an obligation for us to share our ideas

to give others permission to kind of at least engage in some way.
