I have experienced the consequences of abuse and believe women's private spaces should be exclusively for women. Rape victims should not have to undress in front of men. This issue is pervasive in schools and public facilities, and I will fight against it. Critics claim my language fuels transphobia, but I have supported LGBTQ rights while opposing policies that allow men in women's spaces. I've received numerous death threats for my stance, highlighting the extreme reactions from some. Many women, including those from the left, feel marginalized by these policies. It's crucial to protect women's rights without compromising safety. The hypocrisy of those who preach kindness while attacking dissenters is evident. The focus should be on protecting all women's rights, not just those of trans women.

Do you consider yourself a feminist? Yes. Should women be drafted in a war? No, I don’t have a strong opinion on it. If it happens, it happens. I don’t think drafting women would significantly impact the war effort. Isn’t that a sexist view? It’s about physical capability. If a woman wants to fight, she should be able to, but I don’t support forced enlistment. For those who identify as feminists, do you see a contradiction in wanting equality while being okay with men being sent to fight? How do you reconcile that? Some seem to want equality only when it benefits women.

Republicans are accused of hating gays and women, but I'd rather vote for them than a party that doesn't recognize women. While some criticize Republicans for taking away rights, they argue that the other party is doing the same by not protecting women's rights. The speaker expresses frustration with the focus on trivial issues like bathroom policies while important rights are being eroded. Ultimately, the speaker is confident in their voting choice despite the criticism.

You claim to support privacy and civil rights, yet you disregard women's rights and safety. It's hypocritical to advocate for privacy while pushing for policies that force women, including survivors of sexual abuse, to undress in front of men in bathrooms and locker rooms. As a rape survivor, I find it unacceptable to be placed in such situations.

If you refuse to accept trans individuals because you are cisgender, you are a transphobe. Your prejudices need to be examined if this statement angers you. Regardless of your reasons, reducing us to our bodies is unsophisticated and disrespectful. While I understand trauma can be difficult to heal from, it doesn't excuse transphobia. We won't let you off the hook. Remember, we are human beings, not just our sexual organs. This message is directed towards cisgender lesbians as well.

The issue of trans women and intersex women participating in women's sports is not complicated. It comes down to whether you believe they are real women or not. Policing who counts as a real woman is rooted in racism and white women's conceptions of femininity. Some argue that trans women have an unfair advantage, but there is no published research on this. Even if there is an advantage, the range of body types within the female category is much larger than anything attributed to trans women. Trans women have been competing for decades without winning elite championships or Olympic gold medals. The fear of trans women taking over women's sports is irrational and transphobic. The question of fairness can be compared to regulating performance-enhancing drugs in sports. Ultimately, if you believe trans women are women, they should be able to compete with other women.

I am a woman and I use the women's restroom. No one can stop me. If you have a problem, use a different bathroom. I have the right to use the women's restroom.

My daughters will only compete against other women in sports. We need to stop allowing biological men to change in front of young girls. Let's fix this by 2024.

Mister Speaker, powerful anecdotes cannot stand for the consent of another. If women feel unsafe, we should listen. Accommodating a small segment shouldn't supersede women's concerns. The consent of one person doesn't equal another's comfort in bathrooms, sports, or prisons. Nuanced conversations about respect and humanity are possible. Policies protecting women's spaces aren't transphobic. Some liberals agree but fear speaking up due to party orthodoxy silencing women. Both transgender individuals and women fear violence and disrespect. HB 148 allows localities and businesses to define sex for specific policies and isn't a "Nazi movement." Municipalities, private gyms, and prisons should, in limited cases, separate people based on biological sex. Consider the alternative viewpoint without resorting to labels like "bigot" or "transphobe" when questioning women's spaces. Representative asks if comparing bathroom policies to Jim Crow laws is fair, referencing white-passing African Americans. Representative responds that race and Jim Crow are significantly different than sex and women's private spaces.

The issue of trans women and intersex women participating in women's sports is not complicated. It comes down to whether you believe they are real women or not. If you do, then stop policing who counts as a real woman. The scrutiny faced by intersex athletes, particularly women of color, is based on white women's conceptions of femininity. The argument that trans women have an unfair advantage over cis women is irrelevant because there is no published research on this. The range of body types within the female category is already significant, and trans women have been competing for decades without dominating. The fear of trans women taking over women's sports is irrational and transphobic. The question of creating a standard for competition is similar to regulating performance-enhancing drugs. Ultimately, if you believe trans women are women, they should be able to compete with other women.

I want to understand your views on transgenderism. Well, historically, the body is tied to who you are. Transgender ideology is a form of Gnosticism that says your body doesn't matter. This is false, leading to the deprivation of women's rights, rapes, and the loss of sports competitions and scholarships. It also causes anxiety, depression, and suicide. Those rape cases are from cis men. As a Black trans woman, I'm not a threat. It's harmful to weaponize rhetoric against trans people. We exist, even if you deny it. If my child came out as trans, I'd tell them the truth: they're not really the gender they identify as. You'll reduce this to genitalia. Those bathroom rapes aren't committed by trans women, but cis men. There's no such thing as a trans woman. I'm looking at one right now. You don't have any talking points. In 2018 there were two rapes in bathrooms and one in Wisconsin, one in Georgia, but by cis men. The translady doth protest too much, me thinks.

If you support girls and women's equality and sports, stand up. It's unfair and unsafe for males to compete in girls' sports. Don't be afraid of being called a bigot. Fight for women's equality, privacy, fairness, and safety. Be honest, brave, and stand with us in the fight for equality.

As BIPOC women, we're tired of constantly advocating for white women, just as all women are tired of having to advocate for men. Women have taught me that there's no single definition of "woman" that excludes me without also excluding millions of cisgender women. Consider women born without a uterus, those with chromosomal differences, hormone imbalances, or facial hair. According to Boston Children's Hospital, one in five thousand women are born without a vagina. Therefore, you cannot exclude trans women without also denying the womanhood of many cisgender women. I challenge you to tell them to their faces that they are not women.

A transgender activist was asked to explain the premise of the movement, but they deflected and changed the subject. The speaker believes it is their right to ask this question because there are civil rights specifically for women, such as special bathrooms and sports leagues. They argue that if men are claiming the right to enter these spaces, either all special rights for women need to be abolished or the activists need to explain how these men are actually women. The speaker is not willing to abolish women's rights and believes most women in the country feel the same way.

Conservative women come in various backgrounds, shapes, sizes, and flavors, not all looking the same. Why hate from outside when you can't even get in?

Being a feminist makes me an extremist, and I embrace that. This is a response to Congresswoman McBride's presence in Congress. I refuse to accept a man in women's locker rooms. As a rape survivor with PTSD, I understand the vulnerability of women and girls in private spaces. I will actively oppose any man who tries to enter women's restrooms, locker rooms, or changing areas. I will fight against this every step of the way.

Women have a right to privacy and dignity. I believe Representative McGraw deserves fairness, but I will not allow any man to erase women's rights. We have a significant disagreement on this issue, despite having collaborated on other legislation. As the first woman to graduate from The Citadel, I refuse to let a man dictate my rights. It is unacceptable for a man to be in my dressing room or bathroom while I undress.

I understand the concern about ties to Jeffrey Epstein, but where are radical feminists when it comes to Hamas' crimes against Jewish girls? The hypocrisy of the Me Too movement is evident in their silence on this issue. I want a list of feminists who condemned Hamas for their rapes and murders, and how many stayed silent or even supported them. Let's consider this context.

I'm a biological male in a dress. Should I be punished for what I wear? You should act like a man because you are one. Those affirming your belief you're a woman are lying and disrespectful. It won't help you. Masquerading as a woman infringes on women's rights to their own spaces. You don't have that right, no matter how sincerely you believe you're a woman. Translation: I am a man in a dress. Should I be punished for what I wear? You should act like a man because you are one. Those who support your belief that you are a woman are lying and disrespectful. It will not help you. Pretending to be a woman violates women's rights to their own spaces. You do not have that right, no matter how sincerely you believe you are a woman.

If we don't speak up against this nonsense, we'll lose women's rights, sororities, and our safety. We shouldn't have to expose ourselves to perverted men or surrender to this madness. Let's find our voices, ladies, and the men who support us. Otherwise, this will be our future. We can support trans people without compromising our own well-being.

Men don't have a say in women's sex life. Do you think the sexual empowerment of women in any way contributes to their own objectification? No. Does the fact does the fact that porn and OnlyFans exist prove that women are okay being objectified as long as they're getting paid. No. It means that we can use our body the way that we want to without men's control. Do you consider sex work to be real work? Yes. Yes. And if you don't, you suck. Why are women more accepting of women who can sell sex but are less likely to accept a man who can buy it? Because it's empowering to be able to do what you want with your body when you want to be able to do it. Because it's my fucking body. Body mind choice. My body

Leah Thomas is accused of having a fixation on autogynephilia and deriving sexual pleasure from dressing as a woman. The speaker argues that Leah, who competes in women's sports and takes their trophies, is crossing a line. They express frustration with the idea of accommodating Leah in women's spaces and believe therapy is necessary. The speaker emphasizes that they won't surrender girlhood or womanhood to Leah's mental issues and urges them to leave swimming pools, locker rooms, and track meets.

Mister Speaker, powerful anecdotes of one person cannot stand for the consent of another. If women feel unsafe, we should listen. Accommodating a small segment of the population shouldn't override women's concerns. The consent of one person doesn't mean another is comfortable with transgender women in bathrooms, sports, or prisons. These conversations can be nuanced; policies protecting women's spaces aren't transphobic. Some liberals agree but are silenced by the Democratic Party's orthodoxy. People fear violence and disrespect from both sides. HB one forty eight allows localities and businesses to define sex for specific policies and isn't a Nazi movement. Calling the other side Nazis doesn't help genuine questions about women's spaces. Municipalities, private gyms, and prisons should be able to separate people based on biological sex in limited circumstances. Consider the alternative side without calling them bigots or transphobes for questioning women's spaces. Representative asks if comparing bathroom bans to Jim Crow laws is fair, referencing white-passing African Americans avoiding discrimination. Speaker responds that race and Jim Crow are significantly different than sex and women's private spaces.

A woman confronts We Spa staff, alleging a man with a penis was allowed in the women's section, exposing himself to women and young girls. She questions if We Spa condones this, implying they prioritize a man's claim of being a woman over the comfort and safety of female patrons. She asserts that "transgender" is not a valid concept, stating the individual is simply a man with a penis. She argues that women would not be allowed in the men's section with their breasts exposed. She demands refunds for all the women present, stating the situation is traumatizing and a violation of women's rights to feel safe and comfortable. She claims security acknowledged this was not allowed, and suggests predators may exploit such policies.

You can't erase us, Nancy. If you want to erase women, that's unacceptable. For any man who wants to enter a women's restroom, dressing room, or locker room, the answer is absolutely not.
