That is fantastic! Please ask Biden too.

I'm going to call Harris's office. I thought she did really well in the debate.

However, I was texting with a couple friends as we watched the debate and I was telling them (both women) what Harris and Biden want to do to Title IX (change it back from "sex" to "gender identity") and what the Equality Act will do to women's rights, sports, dignity, privacy and safety if Biden wins the presidency and the Dems win the Senate.

But then, the Republicans have their own Equality Act in the US House already (the Fairness For All Act), so both parties are out to set our rights back a hundred years, and make our lives very dangerous every time we leave the house.

My ballot is sitting on my kitchen table laughing at me. How can I vote for a party that takes pleasure in promoting men in women's sports, women's prisons etc... ?How can I vote against all the women that will need abortions in the future? 4 days later I'm still staring at that envelope.

Abortions aren't going anywhere. If they wanted to do it, they would have done it a long time ago. Abortion is brought up every year. It's a political scare tactic. Gender identity politics however is real. It's spreading like wildfires. You can actually get fired for being gender-critical. That's a bigger problem to me. I do not want my womanhood being erased, and I don't want biological men in spaces created for me.

i used to say that without a definition of woman, there can be no women's rights.

Party A is OK with the definition, they're just not ok with the rights. Party B thinks the rights are ok but the definition is not.

States have had more influence over these issues. For example, I left a red state that did not allow single women to have IVF. Basically I had no chance of being a mother in that state. I moved to a blue state and even though I have more reproductive rights, the gender identity stuff will gradually complicate life for me as a woman.

So I guess I will move back to a red state once I achieve motherhood or no longer care about it.

Whoa, there's actually any state that disallows women from having ivf?
