Victory! Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Rules: Men Are Not "Natural Born Females"

In 2021, WoLF submitted an amicus brief in the case of Green v. Miss USA—Today, the Ninth Circuit affirmed that the #FirstAmendment protects against being forced to say that men can be women

1/6
From today's ruling:

"The district court held that the First Amendment protected the Pageant’s expressive association rights to exclude a person who would impact the group’s ability to express its views—"

2/6
"...The panel agreed that summary judgment for the Pageant was correct, but reached this conclusion not under the First Amendment’s protection of freedom of association but rather under the First Amendment’s protection against compelled speech."

3/6
WoLF advocates for women's freedom of expression, freedom of association, & free speech

In 2021, we argued that gender ideology is unscientific & harmful to women and that men should not be considered as "natural born women" in expressive associations, e.g. pageants

Recently, LAFCA voted to terminate single-sex awards categories, in favor of "gender neutral" awards, effectively dismantling women's opportunities to win career-changing recognitions.

WoLF submitted public comments to the US Department of Education's proposed Title IX regulations.

#SexNotGender #TitleIX

Written by one of our Advisory Council members, our comments express our deep concern about how these proposed rules will harm women and girls.

#SexNotGender #TitleIX
Since 1972, Congress has interpreted "sex" under #TitleIX as allowing differential treatment based on sex in some settings, including single-sex athletics, toilets, locker rooms, & showers. These exist to ensure women have safe, equal access to educ. opportunities. #SexNotGender

WoLF is proud to join other advocacy organizations to sign this letter demanding charges against Chrystul Kizer be dropped. We stand in solidarity with trafficked women and girls.
womensliberationfront.org/news/wolf-sign…
Chrystul was only seventeen when she was trafficked by Randall P. Volar. Volar had already been under investigation for sex crimes against underage girls, and he raped Chrystul repeatedly.
Chrystul says she was resisting another rape attempt when she shot and killed Volar.

We believe Chrystul needs rehabilitation and support, not a lengthy prison term.

On December 6, 1989, Marc Lépine brought a gun to the École Polytechnique in Montreal. He went to a mechanical engineering class, separated the men from the women, and opened fire on the women. He said he was "fighting feminism."
Lepine shot all nine women in the room, killing six. He roamed for a further 20 minutes, targeting women. He killed eight more women before killing himself.
Today, we remember their names.
