Jennifer Sey joins Bridget for a frank conversation about defending women’s sports and women’s spaces. They discuss Jennifer’s background as an elite gymnast and her later role in exposing abuse in the sport, the Larry Nassar scandal, Simone Biles bowing out of the Tokyo Olympics, and why no one should be risking their lives to win a medal. They cover Jennifer’s career at Levi's and her controversial departure over her stance on COVID school closures, why San Francisco is dead to her, cancel culture, media bias, gender ideology, corporate America in the 90s, how things have actually gotten better for women, and the new challenges faced in defending women's sports. Jennifer talks about her new brand of athletic wear XX-XY Athletics, the only brand to stand up for women’s sports & spaces, its struggles with censorship on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, why shamelessness wins, and the low risk way you can take a stand in something you believe in.
