“I looked past the curtain and saw a man dressed in a woman's bathing suit watching little girls take down their swimsuits in order to use the restroom.“

“We need a genuine, nuanced discussion about these policies and laws concerning Self-ID. It’s time for you to return to reason and ask a Radical Feminist to join your panel.”

“To ensure fair play and prevent injury, I strongly support reserving women and girls’ sports solely for biological women and girls.”

“Are women the social, political and economic equals of men in modernity?”

“Fifty years ago, we understood the importance of protecting women’s sex-based rights and spaces.“

“I do not have anything against whatever anyone wishes to be except if they take rights away from girls and women that have been so hard won.“

“Under patriarchy, women need woman-only spaces…“

“Minors are medically transitioning – Even pro-affirmation sources admit it“

“Divorced women in Afghanistan confront numerous other challenges beyond finding a life partner — financial difficulties, insecurity, and social stigma.“

“The women I tell about this, don’t believe me.“

I live in Oregon and am appalled with all the signs on public restrooms that invite in men based on their feelings. No. This is not progress.

Racial discriminations toward women compound to be largely disempowering. Even today, in places like Kenosha, Black girls are still disproportionately criminalized. They are more likely to be neglected and deprived of the resources to fight for their rights within the legal system. Issues like these cannot be approached by tackling gender oppression alone. Instead, they must be treated as an intersection of multiple power structures, considering both sex and race.

The Taliban's Ministry of Higher Education has "suspended" girls' education in all public and private universities. If there is no school, no university, then what will our future be like? My heart is full of pain. I don't see hope or a good future for me, my sisters, and all other young students like me and other girls. 

I hope that legislators will rise to the challenge of understanding the fear of the women, the countless young girls, men, and children who can't grow up mentally and/or physically healthy in the climate that they are being groomed in today. I fear that we will not be able to create mentally and physically healthy citizens from here on if we continue down the path we are reaching.

So we need countermeasures. Like what your group is doing. We need to talk about what is real and what is not real. We need to acknowledge the very simple truth that there are two sexes. We need to be clear that there are innumerable genders. We need to be clear that everyone should be free to express themselves in whatever way they choose, and we need to be clear that sex-based human rights take precedence over gender-based human rights when it comes to the safety and well-being of women.

Some say this is just a generational issue, that "young people get it", and that eventually resistance to gender ideology will fade away. It's true there's a generational aspect to this, and it's possible gender ideology will 'win' because of it. However, I think history shows that not all change is necessarily good, and that sometimes societies do in fact go off the rails, sometimes with young people taking the lead. Young people are impressionable and extremely susceptible to social contagion. Throw in the unprecedented effects of social media, and it's not surprising that younger generations might uncritically embrace a misguided ideology such as this one.

Afghan women have not accepted the status quo and they are finding ways to hold the Taliban to account on women’s rights. Even as the Taliban have prevented women across Afghanistan from working, education and freedom and told them to stay at home, women have resisted. From inside our homes, we work and help girls, women, and children.

All humans and animals should feel safe and protected but not at the cost of women and our (fragile) right to a just, fair, and secure life.

My child is kept in a hostage state, brainwashed to deny the violence she herself has experienced at his hands, and surrounded by teachers and social workers who have framed her mother as the cause of her pain and her father as her saviour.

Latinas live with misogyny every day of our life, and sadly many don't even realize. It is so stuck in our heads, that we do harmful things to our own sex, like promoting gender ideology.
