I understand that we do not have the kind of money that buys complicity. We are not the Denton’s law firm, which in 2019 published a remarkable document outlining its strategy of getting “gender identity” enshrined in law using tactics of stealth and manipulation...
But we are paying attention. We care about the rights, privacy, and safety of women and girls. We care about, in the words of evolutionary biologist Colin Wright, our society’s tether to reality. We have no intention of quitting any time soon...
Democrats, we know that you understand this issue. I know that you know because I informed Vice President Harris’s sister and Senator Warren’s husband about these things in 2019... We know that you see us. We know that you are ignoring us. You are not confused...
You do not need to be educated. What you need is to get a backbone. Stop pandering...
Democrats, 2022 is coming soon. Are you paying attention?"
In a massive blow to women's reproductive rights, a near total ban on abortion went into effect in Texas today after the Supreme Court failed to act on an emergency request to halt the law from taking effect. No surprise there. But here's what's interesting to me about it ...

"I'm not on twitter (my account got locked in 2019 and I deleted it) so I can't contact you that way... 2/14
I read Ovarit and I saw your piece about Loudon County and the same thing is happening in Albemarle County VA where we had a school board meeting last night 8/12/21 to vote on the same transgender policy... 3/14
In light of recent events, I’m seeing lots of chatter about the interaction between laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of “gender identity” in public accommodations and indecent exposure laws. Here are some thoughts.
I’m just thinking out loud here, so please don’t interpret this as legal advice. I’ll use D.C. as an example.
1/10 Here is a story that vividly illustrates why women and girls do not want men and boys in the bathrooms/toilets. I promise this story is 100% true.
2/10 I was 13-years-old and visiting an amusement park with my friend and both of our mothers. It was a hot summer day, and the park was very crowded. My friend was wearing white shorts.
