Every year or so she does a CFA post and gets all sorts of engagment on it. This has been rehashed several times. The main issue is why she thinks anyone in the world needs to know when she and her family get fast food. Oh I know, it's to drum up engagement and point out she had a salad and has a LGBTQ+ kid.

Jen was already cancelled. She never really bounced back from it. The divorce and cookbook could’ve had momentum but weirdly, she tied them both to Tyler.

Yes, thank you! I hate the narrative that a love of the "right" woman somehow cures a man of very serious problems that only he can conquer by doing very deep work.

No one here would call Brandon an amazing husband.

For all the support Jen has (friends, family, occasional speaking gigs), she is still kind of floundering and hasn't healed from the divorce.

The Chick Fil A post was terribly timed on the heels of her Me course about parenting a child with same sex attraction. What the heck was she thinking? That she could get away with posting about CFA in a cute post, complete with spicy and sweet family group text screenshots?
Her new book is her last chance to salvage what marketability she has left. Like many of you have guessed, it's probably a big, Glennon-esque tell-all. Jen sees that Brandon is doing great without her, so why not spill the beans and make a few bucks and have some catharsis? He will be just fine.

Would Jen really be that craven though to try and profit off her own up to now private tragedy?

One that had other victims and sufferers too? He kids, her ex?

[Anonymous]

I had to look up the word craven. It means cowardly. What would be cowardly about a trashy tell all?

Both Jen and Brandon have already spilled a lot about what happened. I’m not sure what else she could say that would be worthy of writing a book.

Glennon seems to have Jen's ear, and I would bet cash money she is encouraging her to write an "authentic" memoir, warts and all. Add to that her editor telling her to "leave nothing..." blah blah suggests a tell-all.

Jen could describe her church upbringing and church hurt, purity culture trauma, Syd's journey, the divorce, and come out smelling like a rose. Her hero's journey. Her editor knows people will buy this book. And Jen has apparently zero people in her life giving her sage advice to pack in the public persona and maybe get some true healing away from the public eye?

[Anonymous]

There will only be “warts and all” in Jen’s memoir in one direction. As a histrionic narcissist she can only be the total hero or the total victim.

And it would be cowardly and craven because Jen fears most of all not being relevant or famous or wealthy. Those would be the motivators here.

A truly brave person wouldn’t do this.

Tyler vanity posting a selfie -what man would do that? Pathetic.

[Anonymous]

So raw, so vulnerable…

I was at the bottom of the ocean.
I didn’t want to keep swimming.
My mother came over every day.
My friends invited me for threesomes.
My kids lost the light in their eyes.
Tyler is my lord and savior.
I dropped to my knees.
I made sauces.
I rose again.
I am my own lord and savior.
I am GOD.
I obey you to use my discount codes.

But since we’re here
If we look at things biologically then it’s male and female. Chromosomes and all of that XX and XY. Associated with certain physical characteristics most of the time. I mean if males had the monopoly on facial hair then my waxing and bleaching bills could disappear, ha!

Still gender is something else, and what is “normal” shifts over time. Like there’s no anatomical or biological reason females must wear “women’s clothing” of dresses. And society shifted and viola a woman wearing pants is no big deal. So if a male wears a dress, then again what’s the big deal?
Or a male/man in a skirt is wrong but a male/man in a kilt is not only right but like super masculine. The slight differences in it all just seems silly sometimes.

I know some feel that biological females are the same as the social gender women. And can’t quite see how a biological female could feel that their preferred social gender aligns with that of the man gender or a messy mix of the two. Bur I don’t think there is anything inherently unbiblical about that view.

I wonder if we let go of the social gender discussion and went with the undeniable DNA biology, then females could hold tight every part of womanhood they enjoy without infringing on others or feeling erased.

To be fair chromosomes have always been divergent and there are people who have an xxy chromosome etc. I don't know why it is so hard to see shades of gray for so many right wingers and Christians, but God made all of us...the abled and disabled, the gender conforming and gender divergent, the binary and non binary.

We’ve also always had the easily led, the mentally weak, and the helpless crowd followers.

Any intelligent person, certainly any person of science, who doesn’t push back against this nonsense is a coward.

What the hell is even happening here? Is Jen promoting trans issues now?

She does not have the expertise to even put a toe in those waters.

[Anonymous]

I haven't seen the trans post you refer to, but I was just looking at her "For the Love" about breaking up female friendships.
I mean, really? Is that common? Maybe if you are the type that can only be friends with people who think just like you?? Do these people sit around thinking of what weird petty emotions they can summon up in their web of overblown self importance? I have friendships that due to time and circumstances are kind of off on the back burner, but given a crisis, would be front and center. What is the purpose of "breaking up" a friendship? Maybe I missed that in the 8th grade, but life is too fragile and profound to sit around dwelling on nonsense.
