Virginia Values Act: An Affront Against Women

The following is an excerpt of an op ed submtted by WoLF Vice President by Margot Heffernan published April 8th in the Rockingham News.


In mid-March, Patricia Silva, an Alaska resident, recorded a video of a grown man shaving in Planet Fitness women’s locker room in. The story went viral, and Silva has been featured in multiple media venues since then. The man claimed to be “transitioning” from male to female, an all-too-common justification for the presence of men in private women’s spaces.

Soon after Silva exposed the Planet Fitness story, the company revoked her membership for posting the video, while the “transitioning” man continues to use the women’s locker room with the assistance of an employee escort.

Such stories have become all too common; full-bodied men larping as women, demanding access to our spaces, our sports, our very identities.

What kind of a society upends itself this way – trading hard won women’s rights and private spaces for the “civil rights” of an invented class of people manufactured by a medical-industrial complex run amok. “Transgenderism,” after all, is an antiscientific doctrine that claims sex change is possible and that gender exists on a spectrum instead of a binary. It is a top-down ideology supported by a lucrative medical/pharmaceutical industry that largely benefits delusional men. Contrary to what many believe, “transgender” people are not a longstanding group of marginalized citizens: They are individuals who, for a variety of reasons imagine that they are the opposite sex or exist somewhere on a fictitious “gender spectrum.”

And make no mistake about it: Men who pose as women are an absolute threat to all females.
