Podbit · The Megyn Kelly Show
Kristen Waggoner and Megyn Kelly detailed the unreported behavior of BPJ, the male West Virginia middle schooler at the center of the girls' sports case. BPJ repeatedly made explicit sexual threats to female teammates in the locker room, on the track, and in the throwing pit, yet the school took no action when the harassed girl complained.

Kelly and Waggoner turn to the ugly reality behind the West Virginia case's sympathetic media coverage. Waggoner describes how ADF client Adalia Cross was subjected to repeated explicit sexual threats by BPJ in the locker room, on the track, and in the throwing pit — statements the school promised to investigate but never followed up on. Kelly reads from Cross's testimony verbatim, noting the profanity for the record. Waggoner broadens the scope: ADF currently represents a 16-year-old girl in Washington state who was sexually assaulted while wrestling a male competitor. Kelly plays a clip of ABC News focusing exclusively on BPJ's disappointment at the ruling, without mentioning any of Cross's testimony. Kelly speculates about BPJ's motivations, while Waggoner focuses on the bigger picture — that these are not isolated cases and the Supreme Court's ruling is a beginning, not an end.

West Virginia male athlete BPJ, who identified as a girl, displaced 470 girls across 1,400 competitive instances, and took 2 regional championships and a state championship through middle school.
Most people confuse things they value instrumentally (because they get them other things) with things they value intrinsically (for their own sake). Greenberg's friend stayed in a miserable relationship for years because she was living by her parents' values, not her own — the values map made the mismatch instantly visible.
Jungian analyst James Hollis distills a good life to four things: shut up (have gratitude, stop whining), suit up (prepare yourself to fulfill a role), show up (do the actual work in service of others), and daily get out of stimulus-response to ask what your deeper wish actually is. The whole landscape of self-help slots into just these four bins.
Toward the end of their 20s, many men discover that all the strategies that earned them recognition and success have stopped working. It's a second adolescence — more important than the first — where the question shifts from 'how do I play the game?' to 'who do I actually want to become?' Most people going through it look fragile from the outside. They're actually building a foundation.
Boys are told from childhood not to cry, not to feel, not to be weak — but anger gets a pass. The result: a generation of men who reroute every emotion, including sadness and fear, through the only acceptable channel. Emotional avoidance isn't toughness, it's misdirected sensitivity.
Men need a 'bank account' of masculine status — muscle, money, success — before society grants them permission to express vulnerability. Chris Bumstead can cry at the Olympia and get celebrated. A struggling nobody doing the same thing gets contempt. This creates a tragic paradox where the men who most need emotional support get the least of it.
Emotional sensitivity isn't a defect — it's a high-resolution scanner for human experience. Highly sensitive people pick up body language, tone, and unspoken tension that others miss entirely. In the right environment, that's not a liability. It's a superpower.
Her supervisor told her she was too emotional for the pediatric ICU. So she asked herself: 'What area of medicine can I cry in?' That question led her to psychiatry. Finding the environment that holds your emotional sensitivity isn't retreat — it's strategy.
For someone with RSD, ghosting isn't ambiguity — it's a self-verdict. Their brain doesn't read 'this relationship ended,' it reads 'I am the reason this failed.' No closure means the brain fills the gap with evidence of personal insufficiency, and it keeps filling indefinitely.
More freedom doesn't produce more happiness — it produces more anxiety. Kierkegaard identified this 180 years ago: the more options you have, the more you feel the 'dizziness of freedom,' a paralytic unease at having to choose any single one. The freest generation in history is, by his prediction, exactly the most anxious.
