<p>A petition calling to boycott Macy&#8217;s stores and refrain from watching this year&#8217;s Macy&#8217;s Thanksgiving Day Parade has garnered more than 40,500 signatories objecting to the event&#8217;s apparent transgender agenda.</p>
<p>The parade, set to take place in New York City, has generally been accepted as a family-friendly affair <a href="https://www.iloveny.com/blog/post/history-of-the-macys-thanksgiving-day-parade/#:~:text=Since%201924%2C%20the%20Macy%27s%20Thanksgiving,this%20beloved%20event%20through%20Manhattan." target="_blank" rel="noopener">viewed</a> by tens of millions of Americans each year. This year, however, two characters associated with the event&#8217;s performances are so-called non-binary or transgender.</p>
<p>&#8220;The non-binary and transgender extravaganza on display this Thanksgiving will be brought to you by Macy’s during their annually sponsored Thanksgiving Day Parade,&#8221; reads a <a href="https://onemillionmoms.com/current-campaigns/say-no-to-the-macy-s-thanksgiving-day-parade/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">petition</a> hosted by One Million Moms, a division of the American Family Association. &#8220;Unless they are forewarned about it, this year’s holiday parade will potentially expose tens of millions of viewers at home to the liberal LGBTQ agenda.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Performances showcased in the parade will include music from two Broadway musicals, &#8216;&amp; Juliet&#8217; and &#8216;Shucked&#8217;, both of which feature transgender and non-binary performers in major roles,&#8221; the petition says.</p>
<p>Notably, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in 2021 featured a pop singer named Kim Petras, who&#8217;s been dubbed the “<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200301191447/https://www.papermag.com/kim-petras-clarity-project-2639362951.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-testid="standard-link">world’s youngest transsexual</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>President of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alliance-defending-freedom-adf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alliance Defending Freedom</a> (ADF), Kristen Waggoner, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/thousands-sign-petition-macys-non-binary-trans-extravaganza-planned-thanksgiving-day-parade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reacted</a>, “Macy’s inclusion of a non-binary transgender character in a parade is just another example of an ideological war that’s being waged on families, and customers are saying they’ve had enough. But it seems that corporate brands that were once trusted just still aren’t getting the message.”</p>
<p>&#8220;Shame on Macy’s for promoting and sponsoring this type of entertainment,&#8221; the One Million Moms petition reads. &#8220;We still cannot trust Macy’s Dept. Store. It is clear that Macy’s does not have our children’s best interests in mind. Macy’s needs to know that trust must be earned, and once trust is lost, it is difficult to get back.&#8221;</p>
<p>As of Wednesday morning, the petition has 40,543 signatures.</p>
<p>&#8220;I do not agree with the LGBTQ agenda you are pushing on families during your Thanksgiving Day Parade,&#8221; reads a blurb aimed at those signing the petition. &#8220;My family and I will not watch this indoctrination. Since this event goes against our beliefs and values, Macy’s has left conservative and Christian families with no choice but to avoid the parade and its stores, even during the holiday season. My family will not support Macy’s; you have lost our trust.&#8221;</p>

<p>For Macy’s part, the department store is moving forward with the Thanksgiving Day events.</p>
<p>“For nearly 100 years, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has showcased the very best in entertainment, delighting Americans everywhere with the most popular music acts, the best of Broadway, our country’s finest marching bands and dance teams, and giant balloons and floats that capture your imagination,” a Macy’s spokesperson said in a statement, National Review <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/macys-to-proceed-with-non-binary-performers-in-thanksgiving-parade-despite-petition/#:~:text=“For%20nearly%20100%20years%2C%20the,capture%20your%20imagination%2C”%20a%20Macy%27s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> Tuesday.</p>
<p>“Every performer and volunteer is there with one mission — to entertain millions of spectators and kick off the holiday season. We look forward to celebrating this iconic Thanksgiving tradition again&#8230;,” the spokesperson added.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A career-building conference intended to boost women’s opportunities to get a job in the tech industry was invaded by crowds of men who identified as “non-binary.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) event held in Orlando, Florida, from September 26-29 was touted as “the world’s largest gathering of women and non-binary technologists.” A video circulating on social media showed scores of men attending the event and jumping into recruiting lines after identifying as “nonbinary,” causing outrage among women who paid up to $1,300 for a ticket to attend the conference, The New York Post </span><a href="https://nypost.com/2023/10/04/men-invaded-womens-job-fair-after-lying-about-being-non-binary/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reported</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many women took to social media to express their frustration slamming the event organizer AnitaB — a company that says it focuses on helping “women and non-binary technologists succeed.&#8221; The viral video shows men meeting with recruiters while women waited behind them in line. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">AnitaB </span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/anitab-org_we-are-committed-to-providing-a-celebratory-activity-7112946004684898305-80mD/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">addressed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> the issue in a statement, saying they saw “an increase in participation of self-identifying males,” but dismissed calls to ban men from future events, writing that they must “comply with federal [nondiscrimination] law” and provide “an inclusive space.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We are at an inflection point,” said AnitaB, the company that organized the GHC conference. “The Way Forward for AnitaB.org involves a commitment to progress and inclusivity for women and non-binary technologists, prompting us to continually evaluate our policies, procedures, and your overall event experience.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The company’s statement, which it posted on LinkedIn, was blasted by numerous women who said their experience at the conference was ruined and they felt intimidated by men who skipped panel discussions and seminars and showcased aggressive behavior to get in line first at the career fair. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One woman who attended the conference replied to AnitaB’s statement, saying she witnessed “escalating violence from men” at the conference. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I&#8217;m beyond sad and disappointed in AnitaB.org for its underwhelming response to this situation, especially because of how much time and energy I put into this conference,” said Nivrithi Garimella, an undergraduate studying Computer Science at the University of Florida. “I went in full of excitement and had to leave promptly from witnessing escalating violence from men (but wait, you want me to call them allies right?). I prepared months in advance for what ended up being one of the worst experiences I&#8217;ve ever had. A short speech and a post on LinkedIn is not even close to enough. Do better.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another woman blasted the company for claiming it was “providing an inclusive space.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“‘Providing an inclusive space’ for male attendees to physically shove and intimidate women while taking their interview slots and buying up tickets so they can’t attend the sold out event 🤣 Complacency and silence in times of oppression is siding with the oppressor,” computer engineer Yesenia S. wrote. “Never attending this farce of a conference again and highly encourage all women who attended to file a dispute with their credit card for not receiving the goods/service they paid for when purchasing the $1300 conference ticket.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">AnitaB Chief Impact Officer Cullen White, a man, addressed the obvious ploy by men to identify as “non-binary” to gain access to career opportunities. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Yesterday, it became clear that there are a far greater number of cisgender men attending than we anticipated,” White said at the conference. “Simply put, some of you lied when you registered. And as evidenced by the stacks and stacks of resumes you’re passing out, you did so because you thought you could come here and take space to try and get a job.” </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a recent episode of the Nickelodeon series called “The Crew Builds An Observatory,” the English bulldog welcomes a so-called “non-binary” character named River into the mix.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The entire episode revolves around the gang building an observatory for stargazing and does not address River’s identity. But </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lgbtq"><span style="font-weight: 400;">LGBTQ</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> activist Lindsay Amer, who runs the YouTube channel “Queer Kids Stuff,” described more details about River’s inclusion in an Instagram post. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“They brought me on to consult on the first nonbinary character—meet River!!—for the PP universe and write their episode, talk about a bucket list item,” Amer wrote. The content creator also discussed the subtle messaging with River, including shoes featuring the trans flag colors.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Even back in 2020 they were, as you can see here, displaying the so-called ‘non-binary’ flag by adorning a boat in its colors. It’s not subtle at all, unless you’re in pre-school,” Walsh said. “For that audience, the idea is to get them used to seeing these colors and associating it with something good and fun and welcoming, so that when they encounter the &#8216;non-binary&#8217; flag in real life, they will draw that association. Subliminal messaging is a big part of kids’ cartoons these days.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Walsh also pointed out how Amer openly promotes far-Left principles for young kids. Amer said toddlers should be introduced to “big abstract concepts like queerness” and that infants should have a “queer and gender-affirming environment in their nursery.” </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">X users expressed outrage and disgust in their replies.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Imagine paying all that money only to find drag princesses at Disney World,” one account </span><a href="https://twitter.com/heyjustpray/status/1695241590665515241"><span style="font-weight: 400;">posted</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Total degeneracy,” a second </span><a href="https://twitter.com/itsreallyleah/status/1695671178755748192"><span style="font-weight: 400;">agreed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A third follower compared his time working at the parks with the way things are now. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“When I worked at Disney World in the early 90s, male cast members could not have facial hair, you could not have visible tattoos (either sex), jewelry was limited in size and quantity, and females could only wear muted makeup. Plus, only males could work at 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Jungle Cruise,” he </span><a href="https://twitter.com/JoeGayHistorian/status/1695172464307826752"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wrote</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">“&#8230;I bet Walt is spinning in his cryogenic chamber.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This wasn’t the first time Disney parks made headlines for photos of male employees in dresses. As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disturbing-man-in-a-dress-welcoming-children-to-disneyland-princess-boutique-sparks-outrage-on-twitter">reported</a> in May, a TikTok clip of a man in a dress welcoming small children into Disneyland’s Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique went viral on social media</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The new pics appear to be taken outside the same boutique but feature different employees.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Disney Parks updated its uniform policy in 2021 to allow employees, or as they’re referred to in the park, “cast members,” to wear gendered clothing of their preference regardless of their biological sex.</span></p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-14043">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We want our guests to see their own backgrounds and traditions reflected in the stories, experiences and products they encounter in their interactions with Disney,” a Disney official said in a statement at the time. “And we want our cast members — and future cast members — to feel a sense of belonging at work.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The dress code also allowed cast members to show their tattoos and let men wear nail polish.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Inclusion is essential to our culture and leads us forward as we continue to realize our rich legacy of engaging storytelling, exceptional service, and Disney magic,” the statement continued.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Our new approach provides greater flexibility with respect to forms of personal expression surrounding gender-inclusive hairstyles, jewelry, nail styles, and costume choices; and allowing appropriate visible tattoos. We’re updating them to not only remain relevant in today’s workplace, but also enable our cast members to better express their cultures and individuality at work.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ramírez admitted to having “been thinking long and hard&#8221; about how to respond to The Cut’s </span><a href="https://www.thecut.com/article/sara-ramirez-che-diaz-and-just-like-that-profile.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">June profile</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which the star said was “‘written by a white gen z non-binary person who asked me serious questions, but expected a comedic response I guess (?).”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I am not the fictional characters I have played, nor am I responsible for the things that are written for them to say. I am a human being, an artist, an actor,” Ramírez continued in the post.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We are living in a world that has become increasingly hostile toward anyone who dares to free themselves from the gender binary, or disrupt the mainstream.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The profile in question was written by Brock Colyar, who also identifies as non-binary. </span></p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The lengthy critique said, in part, that Che inspired “eye-rolling from the (mostly younger) queer people I know, who found the character a hyperbolized, hypercringe representation of nonbinary identity.” The writer goes on to ask if the Max show “was just being cheeky and trolling us all about how self-serious we get over the politics of representation on a fizzy sitcom.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ramirez responds to the criticism in Colyar’s piece by saying, “Anybody who benefits from patriarchy is going to have a problem with Che Diaz,” and later wrote, “Opinions about whether Che is representing an authentically queer person or not is not for me to answer.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “And Just Like That” star also said of the profile, “I trust that those of you who matter, who are not petulant children, who are smart enough to catch on to what was actually going on there, can perceive it for what it is: an attempt to mock my thoughtfulness and softness, while dismissing a valid existence and real human being in favor of tv show critiques that belonged elsewhere.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I have a dry sense of humor and a voice. And I am not afraid to use either,” Ramírez said.</span></p>
<p>Che has divided TV audiences since season one. <span style="font-weight: 400;">Ramírez defended the character back then when Che was dubbed &#8220;</span>the indisputable worst character on television&#8221; by The Daily Beast.</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // a-font-body-m ">“I’m very aware of the hate that exists online, but I have to protect my own mental health and my own artistry,” the star said. “And that’s way more important to me because I’m a real human being. I’m really proud of the representation that we’ve created. We have built a character who is a human being, who is imperfect, who’s complex, who is not here to be liked, who’s not here for anybody’s approval. They’re here to be themselves.”</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">TV personality </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Billy Porter</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> recently elaborated on his thoughts about the highly publicized 2020 issue of Vogue featuring musician </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/harry-styles"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Harry Styles</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> modeling a Gucci gown. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Porter, 53, said he wasn’t pleased that Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour chose to showcase Styles, a </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/lgbtq"><span style="font-weight: 400;">straight</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> white man, as the magazine&#8217;s first male solo cover model for the December 2020 issue, even if he was cross-dressing at the time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It doesn’t feel good to me. You’re using my community — or your people are using my community — to elevate you. You haven’t had to sacrifice anything,” Porter said of Styles during a recent </span><a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/interviews/billy-porter-interview-harry-styles-vogue/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with The Telegraph.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “Pose” star recalled an interview he did with Wintour several months before the cover debuted. &#8220;That b**** said to me at the end, ‘How can we do better?’ And I was so taken off guard that I didn’t say what I should have said,” Porter said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;Use your power as Vogue to uplift the voices of the leaders of this de-gendering of fashion movement,&#8221; the actor continued. &#8220;Six months later, Harry Styles is the first man on the cover.”</span></p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Porter went on to say he’s not angry with Styles, but is upset with Vogue&#8217;s “gatekeepers.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s not Harry Styles’ fault that he happens to be white and cute and straight and fit into the infrastructure that way … I call out the gatekeepers,” Porter said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The “Cinderella” alum complained about the same Vogue cover before. In October 2021, he made his feelings known during an </span><a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/pose-star-billy-porter-did-i-ever-think-id-be-this-successful-no-because-im-gay-k59wszd5p"><span style="font-weight: 400;">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> with The Sunday Times. &#8220;I feel like the fashion industry has accepted me because they have to. I created the conversation [about nonbinary fashion] and yet Vogue still put Harry Styles, a straight white man, in a dress on their cover for the first time,&#8221; Porter said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I was the first one doing it and now everybody is doing it,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I&#8217;m not dragging Harry Styles, but… He doesn&#8217;t care, he&#8217;s just doing it because it&#8217;s the thing to do. This is politics for me. This is my life.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After receiving criticism, Porter expanded on his comments during an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;It is about the systems of oppression and erasure of people of color who contribute to the culture,&#8221; he said at the time. &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, Harry. I didn&#8217;t mean no harm. I&#8217;m a gay man. We like Harry. He&#8217;s cute.&#8221;</span></p>

<p>An international group representing K-12 boys schools will host a <a href="https://www.theibsc.org/conferences-events/online-events/online-programs/foundations-gender-inclusive-schools">training</a> on “gender inclusive schools” with a transgender activist organization.</p>
<p>The International Boys School Coalition (IBSC) is set to hold the lessons for faculty from its nearly 300 member schools on September 19 and 20. The nonprofit includes several prestigious private K-12 schools, including Nashville’s <a href="https://www.montgomerybell.edu/about-mba/facts--figures">Montgomery Bell Academy</a>, Connecticut’s <a href="https://www.fairfieldcountryday.org/affiliates">Fairfield Country Day School</a>, and New York’s <a href="https://thecustodianus.com/buckley-school/">Buckley School</a>.</p>
<p>The “Foundations of Gender-Inclusive Schools” course will be hosted in conjunction with Gender Spectrum, a transgender activist organization that encourages children to attempt to transition into the opposite sex and has partnered with transgender surgical clinics.</p>
<p>“Establish an understanding of gender diversity and discover approaches for applying this understanding to professional practice in boys’ schools,” a description of the online training reads.</p>
<p>Attendees will receive an &#8220;overview of gender-literacy concepts” and “a presentation of key terminology and concepts related to gender.” They will also “explore approaches for responding to resistance.”</p>
<p>The sessions include an overview of the “<a href="https://www.isbe.net/Documents/Gender-Inclusive-Schools-Framework.pdf">Gender Inclusive Schools</a>” framework, which instructs school officials to “interrupt binary notions of gender” and “use language that challenges binary messages about gender.”</p>
<p>Carla Pena, Gender Spectrum’s director of training, is leading the lessons. Pena is described as “a queer, nonbinary writer, educator, and activist” whose work is centered on “LGBTQ+ rights, inclusive education, youth work, and community organizing.”</p>
<p>Gender Spectrum has repeatedly encouraged children to attempt to transition. It has independently hosted <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CgcrvdMuU8Y/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D">online discussions</a> with sex-change surgical clinics that perform medical interventions on minors.</p>
<p>One session in its series focuses on “<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CcBRtvdOz6S/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D">top surgery</a>,” while another discusses <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CbxvBuxrP8R/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D">facial surgery</a>. The sessions were hosted in partnership with the Gender Confirmation Center, a San Francisco-based <a href="https://www.genderconfirmation.com/">surgical clinic</a> that has <a href="https://www.genderconfirmation.com/adolescents/">provided</a> “gender-affirming surgeries” to adolescents. The clinic offers “top surgery,” “bottom surgery,” “body contouring,” and “<a href="https://www.genderconfirmation.com/gender-confirming-facial-surgery/">gender confirming</a> facial surgery.”</p>
<p>Two sex change clinics, the Gender Confirmation Center and Align Surgical Associates, were listed as <a href="https://genderspectrum.org/work/partnerships">sponsors</a> of a conference held by Gender Spectrum in 2020.</p>

<p>Gender Spectrum also <a href="https://genderspectrum.org/the-transgender-child">advertises</a> a book titled “The Transgender Child” by the organization’s founder and board chair. A <a href="https://cleispress.com/book/2872/the-transgender-child-revised-updated-edition/">description</a> says it “has been lauded as the most trusted source of information for families wanting to understand and affirm their transgender, gender-expansive, or nonbinary child.”</p>
<p>The IBSC is not the only organization that works with private schools that have hosted a conference in conjunction with Gender Spectrum. The National Association of Independent Schools, a nonprofit organization with a membership of more than 1,600 K-12 schools in the United States, hosted a similar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/private-school-accreditor-hosts-conference-with-organization-that-encourages-child-transgenderism">conference</a> with the transgender activist organization.</p>

<p>Eventbrite removed the listing of an upcoming “Let Women Speak Austin” event hosted by the Independent Women’s Network (IWN), which will focus on protecting women’s sex-specific spaces like restrooms and locker rooms.</p>
<p>Eventbrite said the event violated its rules in an email sent to the IWN.</p>
<p>“We have determined that your event is not permitted on the Eventbrite platform as it violates our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service, specifically our policy on Hateful, Dangerous, or Violent Content and Events,” the <a href="https://unfairlycanceled.com/stories/eventbrite-bans-let-women-speak-austin-event/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">email</a> said. “As a result, your event has been unpublished.”</p>
<p>The event, set to take place on August 12th at the Texas State Capitol, will emphasize the “need to preserve and maintain our spaces such as bathrooms, locker rooms, prisons, dressing rooms, and sororities,” a press release from the organization explained. “Events like this one where we come together and use our voices is crucial to continue advocating for the preservation of these single-sex spaces.”</p>
<p>IWN is calling on Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott to protect women&#8217;s spaces, <a href="https://www.givesendgo.com/LetWomenSpeakATX" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying,</a> &#8220;Women and girls still have no guarantee of privacy in places such as bathrooms, dressing rooms, locker rooms, shelters, prisons, and dormitories.&#8221;</p>
<p>A <a href="https://iwnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/IWN_Letter-to-Eventbrite.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> from the IWN blasted Eventbrite’s decision to remove the listing as “blatantly sexist.”</p>
<p>“Inviting survivors of sexual assault to share their concerns about being forced to undress in front of biological males is not hateful &#8211; it’s empowering,” it continued.</p>
<p>The letter, signed by IWN Austin chapter leader Michelle Evans and Independent Women&#8217;s Forum President Carrie Lukas, contended that it is empowering, not hateful, to give a voice to female athletes “who have suffered lasting physical harm, lost awards, and been passed over for scholarships when forced to compete against biological males.”</p>
<p><b data-stringify-type="bold"><a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://onelink.to/dwapp" data-sk="tooltip_parent">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></b></p>
<p>“Your team of ‘Trust and Safety experts’ insults every woman in America by labeling events like these ‘hateful,’” the letter from IWN charged.</p>
<p>IWN noted that the event will go on as planned, and “the crowd of women ready to give a public record of their dissent grows with every retweet about the deplatforming.”</p>
<p>“Stop silencing women. Reverse this decision immediately.”</p>
<p>Eventbrite did not respond to a request for comment.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/west-virginia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">West Virginia</a> officials have filed a legal motion asking a court to reinstate a state law that blocked males from participating on female <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender-athletes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sports teams</a>, saying that one boy who identified as a girl had displaced 100 female track and field athletes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Tuesday, attorneys for the state of West Virginia and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alliance-defending-freedom-adf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alliance Defending Freedom</a> (ADF) filed a motion with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, asking the court to suspend an injunction that has partially blocked a law restricting athletic team participation on sports teams by sex. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“When you ignore biological reality and allow males to compete on girls’ sports teams, girls are harmed and denied athletic opportunities — even in middle school,” <a href="https://adflegal.org/press-release/girls-wv-track-team-displaced-male-athlete" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> ADF Senior Counsel Christiana Kiefer. “This male athlete’s athletic success demonstrates that the injunction against West Virginia’s women’s sports law is undeniably causing multiple girls to suffer, and we urge the 4th Circuit to take immediate action and restore a fair playing field for female athletes.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The motion comes after an injunction was <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/06/supreme-court-west-virginia-transgender-sports-ban-00090892" target="_blank" rel="noopener">placed against</a> the 2021 law after Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 12-year-old male who identifies as female, and the American Civil Liberties Union sued the state, saying that the law violated the 14th Amendment. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In April, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 not to review the case, saying that the state had not been able to prove any harm that could come from allowing the law to be blocked during litigation.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The <a href="https://adfmedialegalfiles.blob.core.windows.net/files/WVBOE-MotionToDissolveInjunction.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new motion</a> from West Virginia and ADF says there has been harm, saying that Pepper-Jackson has defeated 100 different girls, displacing them 280 times, and that two girls have missed competing in championship shot put and discus competitions. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The results from the recent spring track-and-field season speak for themselves: [The male athlete] is displacing girls out of top spots in competition and off of coveted roster spots at championship and other meets. This undeniable, quantitative evidence constitutes a significant change that make it inequitable to leave the injunction in place because it will injure yet more girls in the fall season,” the motion says. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a May <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/middle-school-female-athlete-fighting-champions-like-martina-navratilova-protect-womens-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">op-ed</a>, West Virginia middle schooler Taylor Allen asked that the law be allowed to go into effect. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The case in my home state, like others around the country, is about whether boys should be able to play in girls’ sports if they identify as girls. The truth is, if West Virginia allowed that at my school, I’d lose my dream,” she wrote. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Texas school district recently approved a rule requiring students to provide a birth certificate before auditioning for the Texas Boys Choir or the Singing Girls of Texas to ensure they are trying out for the group that correctly aligns with their biological sex.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts School Board in Tarrant County recently voted 4-2 twice, once for each choir, in favor of updating handbook guidelines to specify separating the choirs by biological sex. The move, which came after three hours of public comment, <a href="https://www.keranews.org/arts-culture/2023-06-29/texas-boys-choir-and-singing-girls-of-texas-to-require-birth-certificate-before-audition" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> &#8220;drew pushback&#8221; from parents, alums, and students. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Members of multiple conservative nonprofit organizations attended the meeting to support the new rule.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We’re simply standing up for common sense.

<p>&#8220;I believe empowering our young women is important, as is empowering our young non-binary and transgender friends,&#8221; said Kerra Simmons, artistic director of Singing Girls of Texas. &#8220;There are children in my ensemble who don&#8217;t identify with the word female and that&#8217;s OK because they can sing beautifully and healthily in the treble register, and that&#8217;s what really matters.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Imposing gender roles onto a student based on their sex assigned at birth seems more fitting for a private, parochial school than a public charter school,&#8221; said Todd Prickett, the artistic director of the Texas Boys Choir. &#8220;In my opinion, such an imposition is discriminatory and lacks basic compassion.&#8221;</p>

<p>A male who identifies as non-binary was accepted into a New York college sorority only to be kicked out by the sorority&#8217;s national headquarters.</p>
<p>Fabián “Fa” Guzmán, 22, a student at St. Lawrence University in upstate New York, <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/06/28/nonbinary-student-kicked-out-of-chi-omega-sorority-by-national-hq/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he was accepted into the school&#8217;s Chi Omega chapter last fall and was a member of the sorority until this month.</p>
<p>In May, the Chi Omega national office <a href="https://19thnews.org/2023/06/nonbinary-sorority-member-chi-omega-voided/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">began asking</a> questions about Guzmán&#8217;s membership status, and he had several phone calls and Zoom meetings with national leadership, Guzmán said.</p>
<p>Then in early June, the Chi Omega national office informed Guzmán it was revoking his sorority membership with no chance to appeal the decision, he said.</p>
<p>“The national organization threatened to revoke my membership if we went public with the story,” Guzmán <a href="https://www.change.org/p/reinstate-fa-guzmán-s-chi-omega-membership-and-chapter-s-recruitment-chair-position?source_location=topic_page" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.</p>
<p>The sorority headquarters appeared to indicate that the problem is not that he identifies as a gender other than his biological sex — the problem is that he does not identify as a woman.</p>
<p>“The selection criteria in the policy on membership includes ‘females and individuals identifying as women,’ which, by the chapter’s own understanding and your indication through the process, it is clear you did not meet the criteria at the time of joining,” the Chi Omega national office said in an email, according to 19th News.</p>
<p>“We are bound by our governing documents, and your membership must be voided,” the headquarters said.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1687972190386000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2poz7lKxiyhNV9ljBcMSzM">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>Guzmán claims that he does identify with &#8220;womanhood&#8221; despite identifying as non-binary.</p>
<p>&#8220;The criteria were not met due to my identity as a non-binary individual and my sex assigned at birth. Even though we asked them directly about the policy several times prior, and as a non-binary individual, I identify with women and womanhood,&#8221; Guzmán said.</p>
<p>Guzmán started a Change.org petition demanding Chi Omega National Headquarters reinstate his membership and his position as chapter recruitment chair.</p>
<p>He also wants a public apology from the sorority headquarters that &#8220;acknowledges and validates those gender identities, like non-binary and trans, that identify as a woman and womanhood regardless of their sex assigned at birth.&#8221;</p>
<p>Guzmán is also asking Chi Omega to consider changing the words of its membership policy to make it &#8220;inclusive&#8221; for people who identify as non-binary.</p>
<p>&#8220;Even though my identity has been invalidated by this organization that has meant so much to me, and I am extremely hurt, the love I share with my sisters and the support I have been getting from them reminds me what real sisterhood is about,&#8221; Guzmán said.</p>
<p>Guzmán is not the first biological male to attempt to join a college sorority.</p>
<p>Last year, University of Alabama student Grant Sikes tried to join a sorority on his campus but was <a href="https://www.outkick.com/biological-male-attempts-to-join-alabama-sorority-runs-into-problems/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turned down</a>.</p>
<p>In March, seven students at the University of Wyoming <a href="https://apnews.com/article/university-wyoming-sorority-transgender-lawsuit-390079ddd349f4fcbbd03aa8b2ec9927" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed</a> a lawsuit over their sorority accepting a trans-identifying man. They claimed the male sorority member sat in their common area and stared at them silently for hours, including while one woman was wearing just a towel.</p>
<p>In a reverse case, a woman who identifies as a man <a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-northwestern-transgender-sorority-rush-met-20170121-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tried</a> to join a sorority at Northwestern, but no sorority offered her an acceptance.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/obey-our-cisgender-ally-overlord-jameela-jamil-gets-attacked-for-misgendering-twitter-user-not-apologizing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">37-year-old</a> took to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CtmSb6bRNvV/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;ig_rid=6512cc75-37cb-45cc-bd7c-ec7d26266fa6">Instagram</a> over the weekend to respond to reports that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was considering scrapping gendered acting awards. She proposed creating a new category for &#8220;non-binary people&#8221; instead.</p>
<p>&#8220;Would it not be better to give non-binary people their own category rather than open the door for Hollywood to completely shut out women given the known disproportionate amount of men vs women winning at award shows?&#8221; Jamil asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;I feel as though we will see a growing ire from women who get shut out of award opportunities&#8230;because we have created only one spot among 10s of thousands of actors in a world that favors men,&#8221; she added.</p>

<p>&#8220;I don’t think it will help women or NB people to minimize the amount of possible winners,&#8221; Jamil continued. &#8220;We should look to EXPAND the possibilities so that both GNC [gender non-conforming] people and women have a fair shot in an industry that has for a long time struggled to treat others [as] equals to men.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Good Place&#8221; star noted that if the &#8220;Athlete of the Year&#8221; award were to be given &#8220;without gender,&#8221; it is highly unlikely that &#8220;anyone other than a cis man is going to win, because they dominate that world.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They generate the most income for the industry, get the most attention and are the biggest stars/names,&#8221; Jamil wrote. &#8220;And yes, that is frustrating, but as I said in these slides, we cannot bank on utopian changes, we have to work incrementally to create change and visibility. The same exists across most industries in the world.</p>
<p>She also said that she decided to post her thoughts on the issue because many people have sent her messages making it clear that they agree with her sentiments, but are &#8220;too afraid to say it publicly.&#8221;</p>
