WoLF in the News: June 2023
Thanks to our supporters, the Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF) continues to pursue our mission to restore, protect, and advance the rights of women and girls!
WoLF focuses on issues affecting the sex-based rights of women and girls in the United States, which mainstream feminist organizations largely ignore. Last month, WoLF was featured in multiple stories highlighting the problems women face as gender ideology erodes our rights and threatens our safety.
Read a selection of recent news coverage of WoLF’s efforts at the front lines of feminism.
California Prisons Struggle to Process Inmates' Gender-Affirming Surgery
Meanwhile, in 2021 the feminist advocacy group Women's Liberation Front filed a lawsuit against the state criticizing it for allowing transgender women to be transferred to a female prison facility in Chowchilla.
"The reality that men and women are factually, materially, immutably different, in ways that disadvantage women and necessitate attention to women's unique needs, supports protection of incarcerated women by providing women-only correctional facilities," the group's lawsuit said, according to CalMatters. The lawsuit is currently ongoing in the U.S. Eastern District Court of California.
The 'Equality Act' Threatens Women's Equality
It shouldn't surprise us that some liberal feminists, such as tennis star and 18-time Women's Grand Slam winner Martina Navratilova, and feminist organizations like Women's Liberation Front (WoLF), oppose such anti-woman policies. Broad support for female athletes is further reflected in polling from WoLF, which shows that fewer than 20 percent of Americans agree that males should be permitted to compete in the female category.
However, the Equality Act doesn't only hurt female athletes. It also endangers women in overnight shelters by forcing the shelters to admit males who identify as female.
Trans killer Dana Rivers sentenced to life in prison for murder of lesbian couple and their son

In December, Dansky, along with the founder of Women's Liberation Front, Lierre Keith, biology professor Arla Hile, and Jesika Gonzalez, were assaulted by 8 to 12 Antifa members while speaking out against men being housed in women's prisons.
Seattle Public Library denied spot at upcoming Trans Pride Seattle
In 2019, the library rented a meeting room to the Women’s Liberation Front — a self-described “radical feminist organization” that had espoused what critics call anti-trans views. The event, titled “Fighting the New Misogyny: A Feminist Critique of Gender Identity,” was publicized as “a critical analysis of gender identity.”
It was allowed to proceed after a contentious board meeting, with increased security and was moved to hours when the library was closed. The library’s rationale at the time for allowing the event was similar to what it recently said about Cameron’s book reading.
