The Inequality of the Equality Act: Concerns from the Left
Who could be against a law that promises equality and bans discrimination? Parents who’ve already experienced grief, despair, and witnessed medical harms as they attempted to get help for their gender-confused children. Medical experts concerned about how adding “gender identity” into civil rights law would cause physical and psychological harm. People who have transitioned, and then detransitioned, concerned with what this ideology will do to children. Lesbians who have been punished for having the audacity to say that men are not women. Radical feminists concerned that nearly all sex-segregated spaces, colleges, sports, dormitories, and women’s rights in general will disappear if “gender identity” becomes a protected class and the dangers this poses to women and girls.

The statistics are BLANTENTLY showing just how undervalued women are in this MAN'S WORLD.
Energetically as a spiritual being having a human experience we are both yin and yang meaning both feminine and masculine energy. To reach our full potential in life we need a balance of both energies.
However have said that
Biologically you are born either male or female. It does not matter how you identify in your mind and body, in medical terms in scientific terms you are either male or female.
It is great to be all inclusive, yet at the same time women’s and children’s rights need to be protected. Men should not be in women’s locker rooms with perhaps little girls present. Men should not be competing against women in competitions. This has gotten way out of control.
That getting rid of the penis party is SO GROSS
I agree that men in general are not thinking about the issue properly, because they have lived different lives, and have never experienced the fear that women can feel on a daily basis when doing things which men take for granted. My partner gets angry with me when I bring up the issue of men being allowed access to women's spaces, yet when I tried to explain the issues he shuts me up saying he doesn't care. Yesterday I excluded him from a social meeting with a friend because I want to be able to express my views and discuss them without experiencing intolerance. Today he listened to me for the first time while I described part of the sheer volume of rapes, sexual assaults, harassment, bullying, stalking, groping and mysogeny I have endured and witnessed other females being subjected to. Added to that is my horror at the growing sexualisation anbd indoctrination of youngsters around an ideology they are far too young to comprehend. He had no idea that girls and boys are being placed on puberty blockers, hormones which are inappropriate for their bodies, then having sexual organs removed, or the phenomena of teenage girls being groomed online by trans ideology, leading to an explosion of the numbers of youngsters seeking "gender reassignment treatments", which are a total misnomer, and surely must be breaking the trades descriptions laws. We as tax payers are funding costly procedures which are sterilising and mutilating youngsters, and disabling them for life. This is not acceptable. Women need to be listened to for a change, and men need to listen and stand by us. If someone wants to be trans, then men who "identify as women" should be called trans men; and women who identify as men should be called "trans women". That would remove at least some of the confusion which some people appear to experience over defining what a woman is.
its really hard to believe that this country has become so insane…my fear is my 13 year old is going to suddenly want this too
I disagree with the Heritage Foundation on almost everything. I do agree that humans are sexually dimorphic, just like all other mammals.
Like the panelist, I am a member (though a new one) of the Women’s Liberation Front. We need Planned Parenthood to provide family planning and sexual health care, but not cross-sex hormones with nothing more than the so-called “informed consent.”
It’s disturbing to me that anyone in the Heritage Foundation would imagine that women like myself would have any respect for Phyllis Schlafly whatsoever. She disparaged everything we fought for back in the 1970s snd early 1980s. Please don’t imagine we have forgotten the repression wreaked upon us by conservatives.
I hate that the only support I can get on this topic is from the right wing fundamentalists. The culture wars have ruined common sense.
I am a 69 year young Spanish woman. Between the ages of 11 and 15, I played boys' games, mainly cowboys and Indians. I was so fascinated by the red Indians that I asked my friends to name me after an Indian chief. I did not like long hair and soon adopted the fashion of the first women's pants. I liked the company of boys more than girls and I envy the freedom that parents gave to my brothers.
I am very happy that at that time, more importance was not given to not fitting in with feminine or masculine stereotypes, because these attitudes were nothing more than characteristics of a rebellious, creative and daring adolescent. I have always maintained this personality, happily leading a life as a woman who likes men and loves to have been born as a woman.
As an adult when my nephews visited me, I gave them dolls and we played to dress up as women trying on all my dresses, shoes and makeup. None of these nephews is gay.
By this I mean that, significantly, these interactions outside of stereotypes, in most cases, do not mean anything other than that there are people who do not conform to the stereotypes without their gender or sexuality having to be other than what they were born with.
Freeing ourselves from stereotypes we will have a freer, funnier and happier life.
Great panel. I actually feel hopeful after listening to these people that common sense will prevail in the end. Maybe this transgender nonsense will run out of steam as we get closer to taking back the white house. It seems to me all this came to a head when Biden took office. It’s hard to believe such a small percentage of people (less than 3%) of this country can rule the narrative and outshine all the other more serious issues facing us today like sex slavery, homelessness, etc. We can’t lose this battle. Too much is depending on it.
The issue they did not talk about except in passing is that it is male, heterosexual cross-dresser sexual fetishists, autogynephiles/transvestic fetishists, who are the primary funders and promoters of this movement, and are the main beneficiaries of it (see the 11th Hour blog). These are men who insist on access to women's single-sex spaces and who want to appropriate womanhood and women's rights. No decent man wants to enter women only spaces but these porn-addled and predatory men seek validation and sexual arousal by doing so and endanger females. Neither women nor LGB people are responsible for the pornified paraphilias of these heterosexual men, it is a male issue and these men are responsible for their own behavior, but it is women are the most affected by it.
Sad. What will a person or parent say when our Creator asks, "Did you think I made a mistake?"
It is also telling that the Heritage Foundation allows for comments for these types of videos, whilst many videos promoting the trans activist narrative do not.
Thank you, guys, we need more people like you in this world!!!! God bless you.
Funny how they talk about gender from every perspective except the kid's. That mom has a the most pathetic child-like vision of gender, ''he didn't like sports'' what does that have to do with anything lady?
Regarding puberty blockers…WHO has an interest in wanting children to keep a prepubescent form?? Think on that. It's sickening
just because you are a gardener DOES NOT MEAN YOU DESERVE TO BE RICH!
Julia Beck is awesome – #sisterhood
Same thing with covid, “don’t play along” say NO. God only made male and female. Even those who think they are homosexual are not actually homosexual. Seek God. Protect the children. Exactly get off TV and social media.
🤨
I am a radfem and as leftist as they come. I am also a desistor who considered transitioning but decided against it, both for medical reasons and because I realized one cannot change their sex.
I am sure some may exist, but I have never met, nor heard of, a trans supporter who knows the name John Money, let alone is aware of the Reimer Twins. Educate yourselves.

Women unite
Who’s benefiting $$$ from destroying this generation?
It is disheartening to see women hate their own gender so virulently. This hatred and misinformation isn't even coming from the left. It is from people marginally right of being centrists.
We start by murdering and dismembering children in the womb. Next we raise them without one of the two sexes they need to grow into natural adults. And then we drug and surgically mutilate them. We are the monsters of human history figuratively and actually.
Who paid for the surgeries these minors had?
None of these people are on the "left." They're right wing faux feminists. They're against trans folks, hate gay men, and sex workers.
The government owns your children now.
