Former female collegiate swimmer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-effing-irresponsible-is-this-tennis-legend-destroys-trans-activist-slamming-riley-gaines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Riley Gaines</a> responded to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on social media after the Biden administration official fielded a reporter&#8217;s question about trans-identifying male athletes being able to compete in women&#8217;s sports.
During a Tuesday briefing, a journalist asked Jean-Pierre if President Joe Biden believes &#8220;it&#8217;s fair for girls to have to compete against biological males?&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/slapping-us-across-the-face-riley-gaines-rips-jean-pierre-for-ignoring-parents-worried-about-womens-sports" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jean-Pierre</a> replied, &#8220;It is a complicated issue. It is truly a complicated issue with a wide range of views, a wide range of views. There is no yes or no answer to this. It is complicated&#8230;&#8221;
&#8220;We want to make sure that while we establish guardrails with this rule, that we also prevent discrimination as well against transgender kids,&#8221; Jean-Pierre added. &#8220;But again, a complicated issue with a wide range of views and we respect that.&#8221;
Following Jean-Pierre&#8217;s remarks, Gaines posted a message on <a href="https://twitter.com/Riley_Gaines_/status/1696684923413725657?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">X</a> to her hundreds of thousands of followers slamming her response.

&#8220;This is quite literally the least complicated issue,&#8221; Gaines continued. &#8220;Males compete with males. Females compete with females.

The former University of Kentucky swimmer has become a vocal advocate for women&#8217;s rights in sports and has faced backlash for speaking out against females competing against biological males.
During an event at San Francisco State University earlier this year, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/did-this-just-say-peaceful-riley-gaines-unloads-on-san-francisco-states-response-to-assault" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gaines</a> says she was verbally and physically assaulted by leftists when she was on campus to speak about the discrimination women are facing in their female sports.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bed-it-all-up-mike-rowe-explains-why-7-million-able-bodied-men-arent-looking-for-work-and-its-not-a-skills-gap" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rowe</a> said he&#8217;d &#8220;stand with her&#8221; and added that most of his followers &#8220;agreed that the underlying issues – free speech and women&#8217;s rights &#8211; were worth defending.&#8221; But he called out one response that told him to &#8220;stay in your lane,&#8221; ripped Kelly, and accused him of &#8220;pandering&#8221; to a faction of &#8220;brainwashed, phobic, fear driven, fear mongering&#8221; people.
&#8220;If you&#8217;re going to share your feelings with 6 million people, why not take a moment to include some actual thoughts?&#8221; Rowe wrote in response to the critique. &#8220;Specifically, some thoughts on the right to speak freely, and the right for women to compete fairly? Those are the issues in question, not your feelings about Megyn or me. Unless of course, your feelings are the only thing you have to share?&#8221;
&#8220;All I said was that I&#8217;d stand with her on the underlying issues; just as I would stand with you, if you were muzzled by a big tech company for publicly supporting the rights of women,&#8221; he added. &#8220;As for your personal comments about Megyn Kelly, I don&#8217;t share your view that she is a &#8216;farce&#8217; of woman, but even if I did, I&#8217;d support her right to speak freely, and her daughter&#8217;s right to use a locker room free of biological men.&#8221;

&#8220;You seem to believe that because I&#8217;m not a woman, I have no right to hold an opinion on anything related to women,&#8221; Rowe continued. &#8220;If so, am I also precluded from expressing an opinion on slavery, simply because I&#8217;ve never been a slave, or owned a slave? You advise me to &#8216;stay in my lane&#8217; in much the same way people used to tell women and minorities to &#8216;know their place.&#8217; That strikes me as a convenient way for people to silence those with whom they disagree, without offering an actual argument.&#8221;

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.
Eventbrite said the event violated its rules in an email sent to the IWN.
“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.”
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.”
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;
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.”
“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.
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.”

“Your team of ‘Trust and Safety experts’ insults every woman in America by labeling events like these ‘hateful,’” the letter from IWN charged.
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.”
“Stop silencing women. Reverse this decision immediately.”
Eventbrite did not respond to a request for comment.

A Wisconsin school district will be forced to allow male students who identify as female to use the girls&#8217; restroom and locker room, a federal judge ordered Thursday.
The Mukwonago Area School District in the Milwaukee area is prohibited from enforcing its new policy banning students from using the bathroom of the opposite sex after Judge Lynn Adelman in the Eastern District of Wisconsin <a href="https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/court-rules-for-11-year-old-trans-girl-in-lawsuit-against-mukwonago-schools-bathroom-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issued</a> a temporary restraining order against the policy.
The mother of an 11-year-old trans-identifying student, a boy who identifies as a girl, filed the lawsuit on behalf of her son.
The judge&#8217;s decision blocks the district from keeping the 11-year-old boy out of the girls&#8217; bathroom. The temporary restraining order states that the boy has been using the girls&#8217; bathroom since he was in third grade and is entering sixth grade. The boy is reportedly <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/school-forced-let-transgender-student-use-girls-bathroom-1811635" target="_blank" rel="noopener">currently</a> attending summer school and was told by school district staff that he must use either the boys&#8217; bathroom or a gender-neutral option. The restraining order also says the boy is suffering &#8220;emotional and mental harms&#8221; due to the bathroom policy.
&#8220;We are very pleased that the court recognized so clearly that our client&#8217;s rights were being violated and that immediate action was needed to protect her,&#8221; a member of the pre-teen student&#8217;s legal team <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/school-forced-let-transgender-student-use-girls-bathroom-1811635" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Newsweek.
&#8220;We hope this gives her a chance to enjoy the rest of her summer program and look forward to defending this victory as the litigation continues,&#8221; the student&#8217;s legal team member said.
The district&#8217;s bathroom policy, called the &#8220;Student Privacy in Restrooms and Locker Rooms,&#8221; was unanimously passed by the school board on June 26.
&#8220;The Board believes students should feel safe and secure in the school environment, and the Board respects their right to privacy as it pertains to the use of District facilities,&#8221; the policy reads. &#8220;To that end, except as otherwise required by law, students shall use restroom and locker room facilities on District property and at District-sponsored events according to each student&#8217;s sex assigned at birth.&#8221;
The school district <a href="https://www.jsonline.com/story/communities/west/2023/07/10/judge-grants-temporary-restraining-order-in-mukwonago-bathroom-lawsuit/70387127007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the new bathroom and locker room policy will allow exceptions on a case-by-case basis. School staff, school officials, the student&#8217;s parents, and the student will consult together on accommodations for those exceptions.
The mother of the trans-identifying student accused the Mukwonago school district of &#8220;ongoing discrimination&#8221; against her son. She said Superintendent Joe Koch and the school district are &#8220;targeting an eleven-year-old child, and that is disgusting.&#8221;

&#8220;No student should have to endure consistent invasions of their privacy and have their well-being threatened,&#8221; the mother said.
The school district responded to Thursday&#8217;s ruling by saying it would &#8220;continue to defend&#8221; the bathroom policy &#8220;in the interest of protecting the safety, privacy, and wellness of all students.&#8221;
Over the last few years, gender identity has become a prominent issue for parents and school districts nationwide, with many parents weighing in on bathroom policies, LGBT curriculum content, and parental notification policies.
Meanwhile, it is more popular than ever for youth to adopt new gender identities. An estimated 300,000 minors aged 13 to 17 <a href="https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/transgender-estimate-press-release/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identified</a> as transgender as of last year.

A trans-identifying male reportedly gave a talk on &#8220;women&#8217;s empowerment&#8221; at a New Jersey women&#8217;s prison.
La’Nae Grant, a biological man who identifies as a woman, lectured female inmates on June 20 at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women about women&#8217;s empowerment and the importance of “inclusivity,” Reduxx <a href="https://reduxx.info/exclusive-trans-identified-male-presents-on-womens-empowerment-at-nj-prison-plagued-by-violent-male-transfers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Grant reportedly urged the women to accept that “transgender women are women” and said he thinks “cisgender women” may not immediately accept trans-identifying men due to “competition” for male sexual partners.
Kokila Hiatt, an inmate at the facility, described the event to Reduxx, saying many of the women who attended did not know the event would discuss gender identity.
“Many women behaved in a polite manner by sitting and listening. A lot of people just tuned out. No one was anticipating what this event was really about. It was billed as a Women’s Empowerment Event. His picture was on the sign-up sheet, but this person visibly ‘passes’ as a woman, so no one thought anything of it when they signed up to attend,” Hiatt told Reduxx.
“Attendance was not required in that people signed up to attend, but please remember, no one knew what it was they were really signing up for. They were duped into attending something for this transgender person,” Hiatt said.
Hiatt called the event &#8220;government-funded and facilitated.&#8221; Grant delivered his remarks in a gym at the prison, which means New Jersey’s Department of Corrections executive staff from Trenton would have to approve it, she said.
“Custody staff members here had to enable inmate movement and supervise attendance. Some members of this facility’s administrative staff was present,” Hiatt said.
Grant is currently the CEO of Lady L&#8217;s LGBTQIA+ Services, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/la-nae-grant-jessop-76a557121/?trk=public_post_feed-actor-name" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to his LinkedIn. Before that, he worked for the city of East Orange, most recently as the director of the the city&#8217;s Child and Adult Care Food Program.
The women&#8217;s prison, New Jersey&#8217;s only correctional facility for women, is located near Clinton, New Jersey. Last year, Governor Phil Murphy appointed Grant to the women&#8217;s prison&#8217;s Board of Trustees.
Murphy&#8217;s office <a href="https://www.nj.gov/governor/news/news/562022/20220216a.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> Grant &#8220;the first transgender woman&#8221; to serve on the board and said he is a &#8220;longtime activist for the rights of the transgender community, including transgender persons that are currently incarcerated.&#8221;
Grant “began transitioning into a woman” about a decade ago around age 28, he <a href="https://www.nj.com/news/2021/06/3-nj-people-of-the-lgbtq-community-share-their-stories-for-pride-month.html">told</a> New Jersey Advance Media in 2021. He took estrogen and has gotten genital surgery and “breast reconstructive surgery,” and before that, he identified as a gay man, he told the outlet.
In 2021, New Jersey prison officials <a href="https://newjerseymonitor.com/2023/05/08/shifting-policy-on-prison-placement-of-transgender-people-sparks-scrutiny/#:~:text=New%20Jersey%20prisons%20were%20held,they%20often%20endure%20behind%20bars." target="_blank" rel="noopener">agreed</a> to start placing trans-identifying males in the women&#8217;s prison. However, that policy was tweaked to consider safety and other factors after a male inmate at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility impregnated two women while behind bars.
Demetrius &#8220;Demi&#8221; Minor, who was 27 at the time, impregnated two of female inmates, news of which broke last year. He was <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/07/16/transgender-woman-demi-minor-impregnates-two-inmates-at-nj-prison/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moved</a> to a youth correctional facility.
In 2020, Grant <a href="https://www.metroweekly.com/2020/01/new-jersey-governor-signs-bill-banning-use-of-gay-or-trans-panic-defense/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commented</a> on the governor signing a bill prohibiting the use of “gay or trans panic” defenses by people accused of homicide.
“We deserve to live with dignity and safety in our communities,” Grant said at the time. “Knowing that the ‘panic’ defense is banned in New Jersey is another victory and moment of empowerment for black trans women like myself, but there’s still more work to do for our community.”

A federal judge ordered a Korean-American women’s spa with compulsory nudity to admit men who identify as women, even if they have intact penises, in a decision on Monday.
Olympus Spa <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12176407/Washington-womens-spa-compulsory-nudity-ordered-judge-start-admitting-trans-women.html">attempted</a> to sue the Washington State Human Rights Commission (WSHRC) after being ordered to remove any mention of &#8220;biological women&#8221; from their website and to admit transgender men without question. Senior District Judge Barbara Rothstein <a href="https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/washington/wawdce/2:2022cv00340/308441/21/">dismissed</a> the lawsuit, upholding the WSHRC’s orders as legal and requiring the spa to comply.
Haven Wilvich, a man who identifies as a woman, <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/06/09/women-only-spa-must-welcome-naked-trans-clients-with-penises/">complained</a> to the WSHRC in 2020 and claimed the spa declined his membership request. Wilvich alleged that the spa said, “transgender women without surgery are not welcome.” The spa disputed this claim, stating they had no record of an application.
The family-owned spa is modeled on jjimjilbang — traditional sex-segregated bathhouses in Korea. The spa only admitted trans-identified men if they had “gone through post-operative sex confirmation surgery.”  
In March 2021, the WSHRC served spa owner Myoon Woon Lee with a Notice of Complaint of Discrimination. The spa&#8217;s president, Sun Lee, explained to the commission that Olympus was a family-owned “women’s Korean traditional health spa” that required nudity for certain treatments.
“We firmly believe it is essential for the safety, legal protection, and well-being of our customers and employees that we maintain adherence to this adaptation of a females-only rule,” Lee wrote. 
The president also educated the board on the traditions of Jjimjilbang, arguing that the spa had “worked so hard over many years to build and preserve, simply for the sake of promoting gender neutrality.”
Both the owner and the president <a href="https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/washington/wawdce/2:2022cv00340/308441/21/">said</a> they were Christian and cited their faith — the Christian belief in modesty between the sexes — as a reason why they did not wish to accept biological males into the women’s nude spa. Employees also involved in the suit — all of whom were women — <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2023/06/07/washington-womens-only-spa-must-serve-trans-patrons-with-male-genitals-judge-rules/">refused</a> to perform body scrubs on naked men, citing Christian principles as well. The District Court rejected their religious liberty claim.

The court upheld the WSHRC&#8217;s requirement that the spa <a href="https://reduxx.info/korean-womens-spa-forced-to-erase-biological-women-from-policy-after-trans-identified-male-complaint/">removes</a> all references to biological women from their site and subject their staff to “inclusivity” training. The spa challenged this as &#8220;compelled speech&#8221; in violation of the First Amendment, which Rothstein also rejected. The court rejected the spa&#8217;s third argument, which claimed that the WSHRC&#8217;s requirement of admitting men violated the right of association.
After the WSHRC ruling in 2021, Wilvich <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12176407/Washington-womens-spa-compulsory-nudity-ordered-judge-start-admitting-trans-women.html">celebrated</a> on social media, saying the order allowed “all self-identified women access regardless of surgery and genitals.” 
“I realized something important today. I‘m more woman than any TERF [trans-exclusionary radical feminist] will be because I am an intentional woman whereas they are only incidental,” Wilvich also said.
Before Wilvich began to transition, he sat on the board of the Seattle Nonbinary Collective, describing himself as a “tall, bearded, transfemme, King County native,” according to the Daily Mail.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megyn-kelly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megyn Kelly</a> got fired up on her show Wednesday and said very loudly, &#8220;find your voices, ladies&#8221; as she warned women to defend their spaces from trans-identifying males.
During Sirius XM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0mUbYnA_vkM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">podcast</a>, the host was speaking with her guests about an insane case involving a chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma suing over being forced to accept a trans-identifying man as a member into their house.
&#8220;If we don&#8217;t find our voices and start speaking up against this nonsense, we can kiss every woman&#8217;s space goodbye!&#8221; Kelly shouted. &#8220;We can kiss women&#8217;s rights goodbye.&#8221;

&#8220;We can kiss sororities goodbye,&#8221; she added. &#8220;We can take off our tops and our underwear and do our yoga in front of perverted men who just want to get off watching us til the cows come home. Stick your daughter in the sorority, let ‘em at her.”
&#8220;Find your voices, ladies — and the men who support us,&#8221; Kelly continued. &#8220;Otherwise, this is our future. I&#8217;m sorry. I&#8217;m done. I&#8217;m done. I don&#8217;t want to deal with this s*** at Tri Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, in the women&#8217;s locker room. You can be supportive of trans people and what they&#8217;re going through without surrendering to this madness!&#8221;
At one point in the segment, the former Fox News host detailed some of the accusations by the sorority members at the chapter against the trans-identifying male.

Happy Women&#8217;s History Month! With just eight days to go in March, men have dominated the month meant to celebrate the fairer sex around the globe.
Let us start on our world tour of womanhood erasure over in Italy. On March 12, &#8220;<a href="https://gript.ie/italian-male-to-female-transgender-athlete-wins-8th-female-sporting-title/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Valentina Petrillo</a>&#8221; — a real heartbreaker and a man who thinks he is a woman — won the Italian Indoor Masters Championship in the 200-meter track competition. That was actually Petrillo&#8217;s eighth national women&#8217;s title and a record-setting performance in the 50 to 54-year-old age bracket in the Paralympics division. Here&#8217;s what that looked like:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Does anyone think this is right? <a href="https://t.co/W1X9Zzgnf8">https://t.co/W1X9Zzgnf8</a>
&mdash; Eoin O&#39;Malley (@AnMailleach) <a href="https://twitter.com/AnMailleach/status/1637892029416874002?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 20, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
If Petrillo had competed in the men&#8217;s group, the &#8220;women&#8217;s champion&#8221; would have placed 14th.
Similarly, on this side of the pond, a certain &#8220;Tiffany Thomas&#8221; (no known relation to &#8220;Lia Thomas&#8221; from U-Penn) crushed a women&#8217;s cycling race in New York. Thomas won the Randall’s Island Crit #3 last weekend. Similar to Petrillo, it seems Thomas also identifies as a woman trapped in a man&#8217;s body.
According to Thomas&#8217;s <a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/trans-identified-biological-male-wins-womens-cycling-event-in-new-york-towers-over-2nd-3rd-place-competitors-on-podium" target="_blank" rel="noopener">team website</a>, the proud winner &#8220;has never met a barbell, a bike, or a dog&#8221; that the Randall’s Island Crit #3 champion doesn’t like. Sounds like a real guy&#8217;s guy, if you ask me.
Never one to miss out on the latest liberal craze, the Biden White House has also spent Women&#8217;s History Month praising men.
On March 8, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-admin-gives-international-women-of-courage-award-to-a-biological-man" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the Biden administration had awarded a biological man an award for courage in honor of International Women’s Day.
Alba Rueda, a man who identifies as a woman, received an &#8220;International Women of Courage award&#8221; from Secretary of State Antony Blinken and first lady Jill Biden. Rueda is Argentina’s Special Envoy for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and the country’s first &#8220;trans-identifying politician&#8221; to hold a senior governmental position.

And then, Vice President Kamala Harris decided to send rising trans-identifying TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney a congratulations letter for living a full year as a woman.
As conservative pundit Allie Beth Stuckey put it, &#8220;Apparently the easiest way for a white male to get fame and fortune today is to dress up like a six-year-old girl.&#8221;

Now, it hasn&#8217;t been all roses for gentlemen this month. The NBA&#8217;s Toronto Raptors recently had to issue an apology because some of their players celebrated International Women&#8217;s Day in the wrong manner.
Their offense? Well, in a <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/raptors-apologize-for-womens-history-month-video-that-sparked-social-media-backlash/#:~:text=Raptors%20apologize%20for%20Women's%20History%20Month%20video%20that%20sparked%20social%20media%20backlash,-By%20Isabel%20Gonzalez&amp;text=The%20Toronto%20Raptors%20organization%20issued,the%20franchise%20on%20social%20media." target="_blank" rel="noopener">16-second video posted</a> to the Raptors&#8217; social media channels on March 1, athletes such as Malachi Flynn, Precious Achiuwa, and Scottie Barnes were asked, &#8220;Beyonce said girls run the world. Why do you think that&#8217;s true?&#8221;
Flynn and Achiuwa really stepped into it big time by praising women for having the ability to carry a child for nine months and then birth another living being — you know, arguably one of the most important roles in all of humanity and the one that keeps civilization going.
&#8220;They&#8217;re the only ones who can procreate,&#8221; Flynn said. &#8220;They birth everybody,&#8221; Achiuwa said. Barnes responded safely, saying it is because all women are &#8220;queens.&#8221;
In no time, there was social media backlash, and the team expressed its remorse for the video. Apparently, it was undignified to celebrate mothers.
So this Women&#8217;s History Month, just remember that you are allowed to celebrate men who believe they are women, but don&#8217;t you dare honor and recognize women for their divine and complementary biological differences — lest you want to be a bigot.

The interim director of the Smithsonian&#8217;s new American Women&#8217;s History Museum understands DNA — well at least in a metaphorical sense.
Interim director Lisa Sasaki told <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/legacy-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a> that &#8220;transgender women&#8221; — AKA men pretending to be women — will be included in the potential new museum which has already received millions in funding because its &#8220;inclusivity&#8221; defines what the homage to American women is all about.
“We have a job to build a museum that’s going to serve the public for a very, very long time,” Sasaki <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/27/arts/smithsonian-museum-women-donors.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “From the DNA of this museum, there has been a desire to be inclusive.”
Ironically, the DNA of the actual Americans found in this new museum does not matter to Sasaki. They simply have to &#8220;identify&#8221; as a woman while having made some contribution to American society deemed historic by the powers that be with this museum.
Nonetheless, the museum has yet to receive congressional approval, but it has raised $55 million in donations from benefactors such as Melinda Gates, Bill Gates&#8217; ex-wife, The Alice Walton Foundation, and more wealthy philanthropists.
The group already has online features up and running. It <a href="https://womenshistory.si.edu/herstory/activism/object/sylvia-rivera" target="_blank" rel="noopener">features</a> the likes of &#8220;Sylvia Rivera&#8221; who co-founded &#8220;the militant group and youth shelter STAR (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries).&#8221; A <a href="https://womenshistory.si.edu/search/search_site?edan_q=phyllis%20schlafly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">search</a> for conservative icon and actual woman Phyllis Schlafly yields nothing.
Sasaki, for her part, has experience in the sphere of Smithsonian greatness.
Who could forget when she <a href="https://www.si.edu/newsdesk/releases/smithsonian-aarp-and-kundiman-present-day-queer-life-asian-pacific-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener">launched the digital exhibition</a> “A Day in the Queer Life of Asian Pacific America” as executive director of the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center?  That online presentation featured the following illuminating presentations:
<ul>
<li>Queer Elders: a series of four video shorts of queer elders in San Francisco, Los Angeles and sites in the South and Midwest U.S., curated by archivist, photographer and filmmaker Mia Nakano</li>
<li>Queer Check-ins: a series of 12 video poem “check ins” by queer diasporic poets throughout the U.S. and beyond, curated by poet Franny Choi</li>
<li>Queer Youth: crowd-sourced photography and short video by queer youth</li>
<li>Queer Motion: crowd-sourced boomerangs exploring queer survival, heartbreak and joy set to motion</li>
<li>Queer Time: a long-form essay on queer experience of time by poet Rajiv Mohabir</li>
</ul>
When and where the museum&#8217;s final location will open remains to be determined. It might lose space on the National Mall to the new American Latino Museum, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/27/arts/smithsonian-museum-women-donors.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to The Times.

In a groundbreaking move, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kansas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kansas</a> has become the first state to pass a bill that defines a &#8220;woman&#8221; as someone who is biologically born female, laying the groundwork for potential bans on males who identify as transgender women from using single-sex areas designated for females.
The Women&#8217;s Bill of Rights was approved by legislators in a 26-10 vote on Thursday, with only Republican support. The bill, spearheaded by Senator Renee Erickson, defines a female as someone &#8220;whose biological reproductive system is developed to produce ova,&#8221; while &#8220;male&#8221; refers to anyone whose reproductive system &#8220;is developed to fertilize the ova of a female.&#8221;
&#8220;This bill does not create any new rights or entitlements,&#8221; Senator Erickson <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/feb/23/kansas-kicks-push-define-woman-red-states-seek-shi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Washington Times. &#8220;It simply codifies the definition of sex as biological male and female in existing statutes and laws.&#8221;
&#8220;There are legitimate reasons to distinguish between the sexes with respect to prisons, domestic violence shelters, rape crisis centers and other areas where safety and privacy are needed,&#8221; Erickson added.
The bill has already sparked a fierce backlash from Kansas Senate Democrats, who argue it is &#8220;equally offensive&#8221; to both transgender and &#8220;cisgender&#8221; women. The passing of this bill could lead to future laws banning male athletes who identify as transgender from girls and women&#8217;s K-12, club, and college sports, and may also prevent transgender people from changing their birth certificates and driver&#8217;s licenses after transitioning.
Senator Erickson insists that the bill is a &#8220;very factual&#8221; and &#8220;objective&#8221; move, simply codifying the definition of sex as biological male and female in existing statutes and laws. However, left-leaning politicians worldwide have struggled with defining what a &#8220;woman&#8221; is, with trans activists arguing that its definition should be inclusive of people who were born male, but later identify as female.
The Daily Wire documentary &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What is a Woman?</a>&#8221; explores the question of what defines a woman through interviews with various individuals, including politicians, medical professionals, a transgender opponent of medical transition for minors, and a transgender-affirming family therapist. The documentary also discusses transgender issues such as sex reassignment surgery, puberty blockers, transgender youth, and transgender athletes in women&#8217;s sports.
Riley Gaines, a former swimmer at the University of Kentucky, is among several public advocates who have called for increased protection of female athletes. Gaines has specifically spoken out against allowing transgender athletes to use women&#8217;s locker rooms. Gaines&#8217; advocacy is partially based on her personal experience competing against Lia Thomas, a biological male who competed on the men&#8217;s swim team at the University of Pennsylvania for three years before returning for one final year as a female swimmer and breaking records in the women&#8217;s pool.

While the move has been welcomed by women&#8217;s rights campaigners such as Jennifer C. Braceras, director of the Independent Women&#8217;s Law Center, it has also received heavy criticism. Kansas Senate Democrats <a href="https://twitter.com/kssenatedems/status/1628541997177794561?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">condemned</a> the bill on Twitter, claiming it will pave the way for legislators to ban transgender people from public spaces altogether.
Similar measures have been considered in Oklahoma, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas, while legislators in South Carolina are considering a joint resolution that would amend the state constitution to define sex as biological sex at birth. Democrat Governor Laura Kelly, who has vetoed previous bills on biological sex definitions, is expected to veto the current bill. In the past, she vetoed a bill that sought to prohibit biological males from participating in women&#8217;s sports.

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/united-nations-call-on-russia-to-pay-ukraine-war-reparations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United Nations</a> women&#8217;s rights committee rejected a pro-life organization&#8217;s request to screen The Daily Wire&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/what-is-a-woman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">What is a Woman?</a>” after declaring the groundbreaking documentary did not align with the panel&#8217;s &#8220;values.&#8221; 
The Committee on the Status of Women, New York, referred to within the global body as NGO CSW/NY, and a convener for the United Nations&#8217; annual meeting on women&#8217;s rights, rejected the International Youth Coalition&#8217;s request to hold a screening of the film starring Matt Walsh at an upcoming conference because it did not adhere to their new guidelines. 
“Unfortunately, your request to host an event has been denied as your event does not align with NGO CSW/NY’s values and/or mandate,” read the letter turning down the proposal.
The summary rejection stunned Austin Ruse, president of the Center for Family and Human Rights (C-Fam), the youth coalition&#8217;s parent organization.
&#8220;How ironic is it that a conference on women does not want to consider the question, &#8216;what is a woman?'&#8221; Ruse said. &#8220;It is also unfortunate that this UN conference is not interested in diverse voices.&#8221;
The NGO Committee of the UN Commission on the Status of Women issued new &#8220;<a href="https://ngocsw.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Virtual-Safety-Guidelines-and-Principles.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">safety guidelines and principles</a>&#8221; that pro-life and pro-family groups are <a href="https://c-fam.org/friday_fax/un-committee-moves-to-block-pro-lifers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">concerned</a> will have the effect of blocking their participation in UN conferences. 
&#8220;In past years, many pro-life and family organizations, including C-Fam, have hosted events, but are now unwelcomed with the new guidelines,&#8221; <a href="https://c-fam.org/friday_fax/un-committee-rejects-matt-walsh-documentary-on-women/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> Craig-Austin Rose of C-Fam.
The new guidelines state that participants must acknowledge that &#8220;sexism, racism, classism, heterosexism, transphobia, global North domination and other institutionalized forms of oppression exist.&#8221;
&#8220;This is an antiracist space meaning that we welcome, value and revere an intersectional approach to feminism,&#8221; the guidelines read. 
&#8220;An anti-racist space requires that all of us need to consider our positionality and work actively not to replicate white patriarchal structures including subjugating voices of Black women and women of color,&#8221; the guidelines continue.
In response to the new guidelines, C-Fam organized a petition that included signatures from 600 organizations in 119 countries that urged UN Women to allow pro-life and pro-family representation. 
&#8220;The NGO Committee on the Status of Women is blocking non-governmental organizations that do not subscribe to progressive Western views about the family and women’s issues from participating in the NGO/CSW Forum, including many organizations with ECOSOC status,&#8221; the petition <a href="https://c-fam.org/wp-content/uploads/UN-Women-Letter-Final-011723.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a>. &#8220;We appeal to you to ensure that organizations that hold traditional views about the family and women’s issues are not discriminated against in UN debates.&#8221;
The 67th annual NGO CSW/NY Forum is set to take place March 6-17, 2023, at the United Nations Plaza in New York.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iran</a> was kicked out of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/united-nations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">United Nations</a> commission dedicated to women&#8217;s rights on Wednesday following the United States’ push to have the country excluded.
The country was <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/iran-ousted-un-womens-rights-commission-rcna61710" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ousted</a> from the United Nations’ Commission on the Status of Women after 29 members of the United Nations Economic and Social Council voted for a resolution that was <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/us-news/2022/12/14/landmark-resolution-ousts-iran-from-un-womens-commission/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brought</a> by the United States to remove Iran from the commission for the rest of its term, which started this year and ends in 2026. Sixteen members abstained from the vote and eight of the members voted in opposition to it.
The draft resolution was co-sponsored by Australia, Albania, Canada, Israel, Guatemala, New Zealand, Liberia, North Macedonia, as well as the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.
“The recent horrifying executions in Tehran only strengthen our resolve to expand this growing consensus and pursue all possible mechanisms of accountability against the Iranian regime and its officials responsible for these atrocities,” White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/14/u-n-member-states-vote-to-oust-iran-from-womens-rights-panel-00073886" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement.
Iran pushed back against the effort to kick them out, sending a letter to the council, along with 17 additional states and the Palestinians, on Monday. Iran <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/iran-likely-be-ousted-un-womens-body-2022-12-14/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> a vote on the resolution “will undoubtedly create an unwelcome precedent that will ultimately prevent other Member States with different cultures, customs and traditions &#8230; from contributing to the activities of such Commissions.&#8221;
Iran came on board the commission in March, which meets every year and “is the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women,” according to the commission’s <a href="https://www.unwomen.org/en/csw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>.
The country was set to continue holding a place on the panel until 2026, even though Iran has long denied women their basic rights.
After Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/maggiemcgrath/2022/12/06/mahsa-amini-the-spark-that-ignited-a-women-led-revolution/?sh=3e21f7495c3d" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> away while in police custody when she was arrested for &#8220;improperly&#8221; wearing a hijab, protests erupted across the country. Since the protests, the Iranian government has detained massive numbers of protesters. Iran <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/iran-will-hold-public-trials-for-at-least-1000-detained-protestors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced that it would be publicly trying protesters</a> and followed through over the past week as two people <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/12/world/middleeast/iran-protests-execution.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">involved</a> with the protests were were publicly hanged.
In Iran, women are routinely at a significant <a href="https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/11/16/iranian-womens-demands-freedom-must-be-heard" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disadvantage</a> when compared to men. The country’s Civil Code dictates that a woman’s husband has the ability to decide where the family lives and he can keep his wife from working in certain areas if he thinks it is against “family values.” A woman also needs to get permission from her husband to get a passport and be able to go on foreign travel.
Women make up more than 50% of people who graduate from universities in Iran, but in 2020, their labor force participation was 14%, whereas men&#8217;s was 70% after both dipping from 2019 rates.
Women have even had acid hurled on them likely because they were not appropriately <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/fr/news/acid-attacks-iranian-women-linked-bad-hijab-294274346" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clothed</a>. They have also been physically <a href="https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/gender-based-violence-iran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">abused</a> in public by the morality police.
