@WDI_USA just published 3 things I want to share in case they're useful. They apply mostly to the US, but anyone should feel free to use them in other countries, to the extent they apply. Each cites an article of the Declaration on Women's Sex-Based Rights. @DeclarationOn 1/
Citing Article 9 of the @DeclarationOn, a Model Bill to protect children from the harms of medicalization. Any legislator can introduce this in any US state. Get this to your state lawmakers! 2/ womensdeclarationusa.com/wdi-usa-introd…
Citing Article 2 of the @DeclarationOn, a blog post on why the federal Women's Health Protection Act is needed to protect abortion rights, and why it's inadequate because of its tortured definition of the word "women." 3/ womensdeclarationusa.com/h-r-3755-women…
Citing Article 7 of the @DeclarationOn, my statement to US budgetary and regulatory officials on why Title IX regs should be amended to include an accurate definition of sex, and otherwise left alone to protect women and girls. 4/ womensdeclarationusa.com/title-ix-rulem…
Info on how to contact elected officials at all levels of gov't (local, state, federal) is widely available. Please share any and all of these resources and tell them to sign the @DeclarationOn! They may not do what you ask, but they can't say they didn't know!
