Interesting article from Red State...

If you're using indeed.com, you may want to reconsider... They are clearly too Woke.

I recently passed an important milestone with my weekly podcast, “Just Listen to Yourself” – 200 shows. That’s about three years of content. I’ve covered hundreds of topics, as I endeavor to help people think critically about the world around them. I’ve done episodes on more controversial topics like Black Lives Matter, reparations, and even the n-word. I’ve also thought through seemingly benign issues, like the importance of small talk.

In short, I say a lot of things about a lot of things. I even won the Communicator Award for 2022 for saying some of those things.

The one thing I’ve been treading lightly on is transgender issues. In my writing, I’m very forward with my opinions. My opinions are my own, and this is a news and opinion website. But when it comes to the podcast, I belong to a network. My income is directly tied to the income of many others on my network. We rise and fall as a team, so I have the livelihood of others to think about when I’m addressing sticky, political topics. The one topic that will get an influencer or broadcaster canceled in the mainstream is the trans topic. I’ve kept all that in mind over the years of doing this show.

Except this week, I didn’t. This week, I posted an episode dedicated to words I’m sick of hearing and hope to do away with in 2023. It was meant to be a light-hearted, end-of-year episode, but I couldn’t help it — I stepped on the third rail…hard.

Two hours after the episode was posted, my biggest sponsor – Indeed.com – dropped me, citing “brand safety” issues. They didn’t get much more specific than that, but they didn’t need to. After 200 shows on some of the most controversial topics in the nation, the statement that tipped the cart for me was that men can’t be women and women cannot be men. Biology and science are where sponsors draw the line, apparently.

My colleague Nick Arama pointed out to me that one could draw a straight line between Rachel Levine (our chief public health officer) pressuring Big Tech to censor “gender misinformation” and podcasters like me losing partnerships for having an opinion.

This isn’t the first time I’ve lost a sponsor in this business. When I was co-hosting the “Smart Girl” podcast with Teri Christoph, we lost a sponsor because we questioned the “Me Too” narrative of the woman who got comedian Aziz Ansari cancelled, over what amounted to a bad date. We said nothing offensive, going to great lengths to see both sides, but it wasn’t enough. We didn’t toe the progressive line.

Ad revenue can be a very coercive perk, and the progressives who run Big Tech know this (another big reason to support our VIP subscription program).

My teenage daughter wonders why I can’t just mind my own business and let people be who they want to be. I’ve been trying, but those people don’t want to offer the same courtesy. My problem isn’t with how some people choose to identify themselves, or how they choose to live their own lives. My problem is that I am being asked to lie in order to support their identities. They seek to make a liar out of me…out of all of us…and I simply cannot tolerate it.

I once posted my frustrations about mask mandates on social media, only to be (unsurprisingly) met with a litany of “you selfish wench!” responses. One responder mocked, “Oh, poor you. Can’t even sacrifice your face for a few months to save lives!” I said then, and still say it now — it is not the sacrifice of my face that bothers me, it is the sacrifice of logic that I cannot abide by. Having compassion for people who struggle with their bodies is one thing. Denying reality is quite another.
