Thank you for this. Sending so much love and light, strength and joy to you and your littles (and the puppos, too). You are a force, you deserve the freedom you seek, shut down those effing comments for good. Nothing but support coming your way <3

Maybe we have to define for ourselves what winning is, too; whether it's "gold medal" or "personal best." Not let the Olympics judges or the gym teacher or anybody else define it for us.

Great essay. I am disturbed you have been mistreated. I am fortunate because I wasn't raised to act or think like the ways described. I've always believed in personal freedom. Some ppl didn't know what to think of me. I accepted them as they were & expected the same in return. And keep your own power.

I'm almost embarrassed to identify as a white woman after the way you've been treated by others on Twitter. Thanks for your brilliant writing.
