This piece is the opinion of the author and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of Feminists in Struggle as an organization.
Well, it’s time for the gearing up of the duopoly for the midterms, and it is notable that both major parties once again think that targeting the rights of women and girls is a great idea. On the Republican side we have the zygote zealots attempting to block Mifepristone, criminalize abortion, and even wishing they could strip women of the right to vote. They should make Monty Python’s “Every Sperm is Sacred” their anthem because their fealty is more to Christian dominionist male supremacy than to the Constitution.
On the Democratic side, candidates are still pushing gender ideology, apparently ok with gender ideologues screaming “Trans women ARE women!” to anyone who is reality based enough to recognize biological sex, attacking defenders of girls’ sports, grown men calling young teenage girls “trash”. It’s ok, apparently for 12-year-old girls who don’t think they should have to undress in front of entitled, (and in the case of the recent plaintiff in the sports case, “BPJ”, who sexually harassed one of the girls in the locker room) revolting, little boys who claim they are “trans” in order to gain access to their sports and locker rooms. It also appears to be completely acceptable to Democrats for trans-identified males to make rape and death threats to anyone who reminds them of the biological reality that men cannot be women.
Republicans continue to run woman haters and Democrats continue to run woman impersonators. The special treat this election season, after candidate for the Maine Senate, Nazi tattooed misogynist candidate Graham Platner, who finally was asked to step down after rape allegations (why should the Republicans get to be the only ones to run sex offenders?), is a trans “woman” who claims to have “ovaries” and menstruate from his rectum. This development prompted one person on social media to post “Susan Collins is the luckiest woman alive!” Either that or Democrats are doing a hell of a vetting job.
I’ve got news for you deluded Democrats and gender ideologues, “Ashley” Webb with his colonic periods and Bryon Noem of “bimbofication” and “looning” fame are what the majority of trans “women” are like—they are fetishistic, deranged men. Transgenderism is not a “human rights issue” or “just another healthy choice”, however hip, “innate”, or “kink positive” (a spurious and oxymoronic term if there ever was one) you think it is.
Republicans need to be reminded that there are women not only in their voter base but make up large percentages of elected representatives in state houses throughout the country, so maybe trying to deprive them of their right to vote, whether by passing the SAVE Act or attempting to roll back the 19th amendment, may be self-defeating, and that putting women’s health and lives in danger by criminalizing abortion and treating women like incubators is not only cruel and inhumane but not a winning strategy. Letting mothers die who need emergency abortions is not exactly “pro-family”, and elevating fetal life over the life of the mother is not exactly “pro-life”, since the woman’s life is primary. Republicans also should be reminded that the majority of voters do not support the views espoused by social “influencers” in the Manosphere or the brazen misogyny of Hegseth, Fuentes, or the Tate brothers, and that sexual harassment and assault are criminal and moral offenses.
Democrats, who hypocritically claim the mantle of “science” and “free speech” meanwhile engaging in the denial of biological, material reality in favor of metaphysical nonsense based on circular definitions and undefinable vagueries, attempt to silence anyone who even questions gender ideology, calling them “bigots” and “transphobes”, callously disregarding the proven harm of “gender-affirming care,” and dismissing the opportunities, privacy, dignity, and safety of women and girls in sports. “Blue” states like Connecticut, Washington, California, New Jersey, and Illinois have even opened up domestic violence shelters to men masquerading as women, and are putting trans-identifying sex offenders in the same cells with women prisoners. This is nothing short of “cruel and unusual punishment”, prohibited by the 8th Amendment, if anyone cares anymore about the Constitution.
Both Democrats and Republicans need to be reminded of the basic fact that women are human.
Democrats and those to their left, like the Greens, the Democratic Socialists, Peace and Freedom, etc., who have remained obeisant to gender ideology and callously heedless to its assault on the rights of real women and girls will be the focus in this post. But in the future, there are serious reforms we need to make to the system by breaking up the duopoly—some would call a uniparty. Here are some ideas:
- get Independents and third party candidates on the ballot and on the debate stage
- ensure candidates are vetted thoroughly for honesty and ethical, pro-social (or at least not anti-social or sociopathic) conduct; eliminate malignant narcissists (it is too much to hope for that we could sift out the shameless self-promoters or opportunistic soul sellers?)
- institute rank choice voting across the country as well as proportional representation
- validate and enforce the fully-ratified Equal Rights Amendment
- pass the We the People Amendment to end the two illegitimate legal doctrines of corporate so-called “personhood” and money as protected “speech”
- pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting criminals from holding federal office
- end impunity for oligarchs and corporations
- pass Single Payer healthcare
- stop funding endless wars
- publicly fund political campaigns
- end legal bribery and corporate lobbying of candidates
- tax the billionaires into penury
- institute citizen oversight of all three branches of government
But for now, we need to rein in the insanity of the current administration and hopefully curtail some of its egregious excesses, so we are dependent on the Democrats getting in office and hopefully holding it accountable. But first Democrats need to realize that Trump was elected in 2024 due to the following top 3 concerns according to polling:
- The economy/inflation
- The border/immigration
- Opposition to gender identity
Democrats need to read The Reckoning: How the Democrats and the Left Betrayed Women and Girls and course correct.
We therefore invite members of the public who care about the rights of actual biological women and girls to direct the following questions to primarily Democratic candidates who are running for the first time or for re-election but others as well who subscribe to sex denialism.
QUESTIONS FOR CANDIDATES CAPTURED BY GENDER IDEOLOGY RUNNING FOR OFFICE
- Democrats/Greens/Socialists claim to care about the rights of women, but the only right you defend is abortion. Why don’t you care about the obstruction of the fully-ratified Equal Rights Amendment, the degradation of women in prostitution, and the incursions of males into our sports and private spaces? Why are you not speaking out about those rights?
- Why are you pursuing policies that prioritize trans rights over women’s rights, when women remain the only demographic left out of the federal Constitution and comprise half the population?
- Why do you not seem to be concerned about the impact of these policies on biological women and girls whom you purport to represent?
- Why are trans people who represent a fraction of the population being given more consideration than 51% of the population?
- Why are trans rights always at the expense of biological women and girls? What legitimate civil or human rights movements have demanded that their rights supersede the rights of others?
- What legitimate activists attempt to compel the speech of others and demand that they adhere to their terms and beliefs, in defiance of reality?
- What legitimate movement attempts to silence, de-platform, smear, or threaten anyone who questions their beliefs and demands? Why is there no debate of these issues allowed?
- Who are your donors, and how much are you getting from trans rights groups or groups promoting pornography and protecting pornographers, pimps, johns, and traffickers?
- Why are you supporting the whitewashing of prostitution by calling it “sex work” as if it’s a legitimate job? Prostitution is the oldest oppression (NOT profession) and the commodification of women in this way is sexual slavery. Why are you not condemning this?
- Are you aware that pharmaceuticals are prescribing Lupron, a chemical castration drug, off label to children to arrest puberty, and that it prevents bone and brain development?
- Are you aware that gender clinics are prescribing cross-sex hormones and sex-rejecting surgeries on children and minors, including increasingly on young girls, referrals for which have skyrocketed in recent years, and who are now getting mastectomies and hysterectomies, and experiencing osteoporosis and menopause in adolescence? What are you doing about this?
- Are you aware of the Cass Review of the GIDS Tavistock Clinic in the UK that exposed the faulty research and junk science on which so-called “gender-affirming care” is based and that countries in Europe are backing away from the affirmation model with its iatrogenic, irreversible medical procedures that render these children sterile, sexually dysfunctional, and dependent on hormones for the rest of their lives? What action are you taking to combat this?
- Are you aware that children and youth are being fast-tracked without thorough psychological evaluation for sexual abuse history, and that many of these children are autistic or same-sex attracted and have internalized homophobia? Is this something you wish to support?
- Did you know that WPATH has been exposed as promoting medical experimentation on children and vulnerable adults, knowing of the deleterious effects including sexual dysfunction, sterility, and retarding bone and brain development? Why are you treating this organization like it is the authority on gender confused youth when it is perpetrating harm?
- Did you know that WPATH is encouraging practitioners to submit fraudulent insurance claims so they can receive payment for sex-rejecting interventions whitewashed as “gender medicine”? Are you aware WPATH is being sued for fraud and deceptive practices by several states and the FTC?
- Did you know that the claims of suicidality of youth denied sex-rejecting medicalization is spurious? The plaintiffs admitted in oral arguments before the Supreme Court in the Skrmetti case that the suicide claims were not true, yet this falsehood continues to be repeated by Democratic candidates like Tom Steyer in the California Governor’s race. Why?
- Are you aware that states like California are trying to pass legislation smearing actual exploratory psychotherapy, practiced for over a century, as “conversion therapy” if it doesn’t abandon its ethics, training, and clinical judgment to fast-track clients into “gender affirming care” without thorough evaluations? Why aren’t you speaking up about this?
- Are you aware that gender ideology indoctrinates young children with regressive sexual stereotypes and the negation of sexual orientation that the women’s liberation movement worked for decades to overcome? Why are you promoting sexual stereotypes over allowing gender non-conforming children to express themselves freely?
- Why is it tolerated to refer to another human being by only her body parts, such as “uterine-havers, birthing bodies, or front-hole havers”? Why is this not correctly identified as misogynist dehumanization and denounced? Why would you support motherhood being reduced to and redefined as “pregnant people”, as if anyone but a woman gives birth?
- Did you know that trans-identifying men are now demanding that they be given lactation-inducing drugs like domperidone so that they can “chest feed” infants for their own gratification, putting babies at risk of harm from these chemicals? What are you going to do about this disgusting practice?
- Are you aware that the invasion of trans-identifying males into women’s safe spaces like locker rooms, changing rooms, and bathrooms are enabling predation and nullifying laws against indecent exposure and voyeurism? What are you going to do to ensure the safety, privacy, and dignity of women and girls?
- Are you aware that women and girls are not only being denied opportunities, awards, and endorsements in sports, but even scholarships and are being subjected to physical injuries by trans-identifying males being allowed to play on the female teams? This is a clear violation of Title IX and its intent. What are you going to do to stop this?
- Why do Democrats perpetuate the reprehensible falsehood that those trying to save women’s sports are trying to enable “genital checks” when all that is required to identify whether an athlete is male or female is a simple cheek swab?
- Are you aware that trans-identified males are making rape and death threats online towards any woman who does not recognize them as females? Are you aware that trans-identified males have physically assaulted women, including elderly women, at Let Women Speak rallies? What are you going to do to protect women from trans violence?
- Are you aware that men, some of whom are actual pedophiles, have been exposing themselves to young children at Drag Queen Story Hour performances, welcomed into young children’s classrooms without even having had background checks?
- Did you know that children are being sexualized by pornographic material in grade schools under the guise of sex education? How do you explain the shift from exposure to pornography as a reportable sex crime to an educational tool for kids who identify as LGBTQ?! When are you going to address this?!
- Did you know that there are men calling themselves “Beyond the Plus” who are pedophiles lobbying to be seen as a legitimate “sexual orientation”? This is a direct result of gender ideology. Do you intend to allow this to happen?
- Are you aware that sex offenders, some of whom are also murderers, are being put in women’s prisons in the same cells with biological women, just because they self-id as “trans”, and that women are being raped and impregnated? Did you know that it is the WOMEN who are disciplined when they complain? What are you going to do about this horrific injustice?
- Are you aware that rape victims are being required to refer to their trans-identified rapists as “she” in rape trials? What are you doing about this?
- What are you going to do about crime statistics being skewed and rendered meaningless by attributing violent crimes like rape to women when they are being committed by trans-identified men?
- Are you aware that there are 4 women murdered every day in this country by men (however they “identify”)? What are you going to do to put a stop to this public health crisis and ensure that it is prosecuted as the hate crime that it is?
- How much money do you receive from Big Pharma and medical or political organizations who are practicing and greatly benefiting financially from gender medicine or pornography?
- Why are you selling women out to a men’s rights movement and the corporate lobby that supports it?
