Do you want to do more to fight gender identity ideology and policies, but you’re afraid of what might happen?
You can start talking to your friends and coworkers, cautiously at first, to find others of the 3/4 of people who agree with you. Every little bit helps.
You can also start calling or writing your representatives in elected office, to let them know that not all of their constituents believe in human “sex change.”
Politicians listen when voters get in touch with them, even if they don’t change their minds.
What’s important is to start building relationships, whether in your immediate networks or with elected officials and their staff, where you can safely speak to the harms of gender identity policies to women and children. And, really, to everyone who values free speech.
Start laying the groundwork now. It may take years to pay off. But remember, roughly 3/4 of those polled in a very red state, a very blue state, and 10 centrist battleground states, are likely to agree with you. What’s missing is awareness.
Most people still don’t know that the legal definition of sex is under attack, that men and boys are trying to destroy female-only sports, or that children are being cosmetically sterilized over this.
Education and awareness can advance by word of mouth, and it’s valuable.
Maybe you can’t say anything now, but can your friend speak out if they know what’s happening?
Maybe you can’t convince your representatives today, but will they think about it? Can you keep going back until you get through to them next year, or the year after?
You might be the very first person that your friend, or your representative, will hear saying something in opposition to gender identity since it became mainstream several years ago. You can never know what changing even one other mind can lead to.
Can’t take out a billboard? Can’t put your name on your account? Can’t start a nonprofit? Can’t be quoted in the newspaper?
You can still help. There are many, many ways to speak up and help get the work done of letting people know what’s happening.
When we first started this work, we all felt so alone. We don’t feel that way anymore. So many women and male allies have stepped up, and everyone who does gives cover to others.
Love and solidarity to all of you who are out there doing whatever you can to help win this fight!
