You’re worried about trans-identified males in women’s locker rooms? Your candidate, when he owned the Miss Teen USA beauty pageant bragged about going into the women’s changing rooms and ogling half-dressed and naked women. From Rolling Stone: Image Your candidate talked and bragged about forcing himself on women and “grabbing them by the pussy.”

Did it ever occur to you that your affiliation with rw institutions such as Heritage, Concerned Women for America, ADF & IWF might have colored the Dems perception of what you had to say? That you and
@WomensLibFront might have actually SET BACK the cause with your associations? Have you noticed that the Biden Admin has delayed publishing the Title IX final rule on sport multiple times? That both Sherrod Brown & Colin Allred have said males should not compete in female sport? That finally the Dems are beginning to see some nuance on gender identity?

The guy you’re telling everyone to vote for, and his crazy followers, are a major reason there is talk of curbing free speech. Perhaps you are unaware that he instigated a riot & attack on the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021?? That he and his running mate instigated threats to legal immigrants in Springfield, OH with their exercise of “free speech”? That they are currently LYING about hurricane relief efforts, thereby hindering said efforts (per FEMA & local pols)?

You didn’t “lobby.” You & Julia Long crashed a meeting between Biden family friend Sarah McBride, then press secretary for Human Rights Campaign, & an event photographer, after a panel with members of Congress & reps of Parents for Transgender Equality National Council. You demanded to know why he didn’t care about teenage girls getting mastectomies, etc. That is NOT how lobbying is done. You just make those of us who object to transgender policy look like rw nutjobs who should be condemned and ignored.

Some choice KJK quotes to US women on abortion rights. She has history of telling us to prioritize GI issue over abortion rts, and then minimizing the cost of that to us. Shortly after her infamous trip to Washington, DC in early 2019, during which she attended a Heritage Foundation panel, she posted this comment on Facebook advising women that we are “in a state of emergency” that made it worth setting aside abortion rights.

Restoring a thread for you. Wolf & WDI USA do little beyond lip service when it comes to abortion rts. In Dec 2021, when it was clear we were about to lose abortion rights, I wrote this article: WoLF and WHRC USA Silent on Impending Loss of Abortion Rights

During the SC nomination hearing for K B Jackson, who supports abortion rights, Dansky goaded Republican senators to ask Jackson the “gotcha” question - “What is a woman?” RW media ran away with this slogan & M Walsh made his film of the same name. tinyurl.com/y8wuybtm

Slate article is slanted, but you've only ever been nominally for abortion rts. You write numerous amicus briefs for, & accept $$ from, powerful Christian nationalist group Alliance Defending Freedom. ADF wrote, & testified for, the MS bill upheld in Dobbs that overturned Roe.
Image You frequently work with Independent Women’s Forum/Independent Women’s Voice, a secular anti-feminist, Council for National Policy group that has supported anti-abortion politicians & policies.

🧵. @WDI USA prez @kdansky published a new book last Nov & as with her 1st, she is marketing it, at a discount, as something her base will want to send to their elected officials. She says the book is aimed at Democrats and women who vote for Democrats. Review of The Reckoning Image However, Dansky's book reads as an extended blog for her base, rather than an argument aimed at liberals and Democrats. E.g. - she uses jargon favored by single-issue gender identity policy critics who are amenable to working with the radical right such as “trantifa” and “TERF.”

@dockstock was recently roused from her “boredom” over “archeological excavations” to write a treatise dismissing feminist objections to allying with radical right orgs as “guilt by association.” tinyurl.com/3ua887bd She cites Jayne Egerton’s article on Women & the Religious Right, 1st published in @Radical_Notion, now republished at WPUK, as an example of “guilt by association… at several removes.” tinyurl.com/yc9dzewf

That’s your hill? The hill I’ve seen you standing on the last 3 years involves telling women to set aside their concerns about the abortion issue and focus solely on opposing gender identity language. Let’s review. Image Shortly after your infamous trip to Washington, DC in early 2019, during which you attended a Heritage Foundation panel, you posted this comment on Facebook advising women that we are “in a state of emergency” that made it worth setting aside abortion rights.

A lot to respond to here, & I will soon post about the spin-doctoring of our sisters who ally with the religious right attempting to put all of the blame on Democrats, but I’ll just note a few things now. 4w.pub/how-a-decade-o… Hyperbole: While v damaging, an Exec Order is NOT law, can be challenged in court more easily than law, & overturned with the stroke of a pen by the next Prez. Also, I’m not erased. #ImStillHere
