If they had just removed all the gender stuff from the bill, I'd be all for it. Instead, LGB are unwittingly being held hostage as a societal battering ram to push trans ideology through. This is a tactic, one that has been employed before, and reminds me of actions by very, very unsavory people in decades past. The conflation of sex and gender identity in the legislation wasn't an oversight or an accident. It was deliberate.

This legislation isn't going to help trans people, it's going to stir up a giant backlash against them, and thus us. If you speak out against trans, then you've clearly got a problem with lesbians, gays, and bisexuals because they're all in the same initialism together.

Social movements have taken on a new flavor these days. It's not about a little bit of progress at a time, it's about grabbing everything you want right away. Anyone who opposes you is a bigot.

You don't get consensus and progress by stuffing things down people's throats. You don't get it by blocking people on Twitter, or other screaming-matches. Talking-up your supporters is advertisement. Talking to your opponents is activism. You get progress by understanding. Understanding only happens via healthy conversations, and you've got to be truthful and authentic... that little house of cards they're building?

Progress does not happen by shoving legislation through without any input.

That is their horrid BS tactic. It is more important than ever to Drop the T. The Fetish Validation Act strips women of their civil rights.

What are we going to do about this?

Contact your senators, tell them to vote against it, and why.

Also, maybe contact any senators who are known to be LGB, even if they don't represent your state, and inform them of what this means for us. Possibly do the same with women senators?

But I'm just so demoralized. Even though this is hardly a surprise, of course, it's still... like yet another blow. And they just keep coming. Because these people NEVER seem to lose, do they? Regardless of how obviously wrong they are, or how vile their tactics... it just doesn't matter. Nothing ever stops the trans juggernaut.

I feel like we have to organize against this entire genderist movement; that's the only thing that stands a chance. But how?

Contact Senator Tammy I'm a lesbian but don't give a fuck about LGB Baldwin.

Tammy Baldwin is the biggest fucking hypocrite in Congress, no mean feat.

I have explicitly talked to Tammy Baldwin's office about the dangers to children of puberty blockers and cross sex hormones.

I've told Baldwin's office that most of the kids being transitioned are gay, so in effect, gender identity conversion bans were spaying away a generation of gay kids.

I've told Baldwin's office that young lesbians are being pressured into sex with transbians.

I've walked Tammy Baldwin's staffers through how the Equality Act will erase women and GAY MEN as a distinct and coherent legal category and throw our sex-based rights, and the laws protecting us ON THE BASIS OF SEX, into limbo.

I've given Tammy Baldwin's office statistics on sexual assault - according to the CDC, almost 20% of US women have been raped and almost 44% sexually assaulted.

I've given Baldwin's office specific studies that prove that even after suppressing their testosterone, transgender athletes are still going to beat women.

What did Baldwin do in response?

Tammy Baldwin introduced the Equality Act into the Senate this time, along with Cory Booker and Jeff Merkley. Contact those pricks too - both claiming to be passing this vile piece of legislation for the benefit of lgbT

So, please every American on this sub contact Tammy Baldwin, Cory Booker and Jeff Merkley and say, "I'm L, G or B and the Equality Act erases my rights."

If Tammy Baldwin (the only gay on that list) doesn't listen, you yourself can then call her out to all and sundry. You can tell your fellow Americans that while Tammy Baldwin pretends to be an lgbT representative, she is actually someone who just does not give a fuck about LGB and is most probably pocketing huge amounts of money from those nefarious characters behind gender ideology, who want to SPAY AWAY THE GAY.

Good advice. Also wanted to add that we should contact Biden as well, since, if the senate passes the "Inequality Act", he'll still need to sign it. Tell him not to! And to withdraw his associated Executive Order while he's at it! (Does anyone know what the correct term is for the latter action, by the way? Abandoning, discontinuing, rescinding, revoking, retracting, etc.?)

There used to be a White House Comment (phone) Line, that you could leave a comment for the president, but I don't know if there is still one.

I'm guessing rescinding.

I openly admit to being a 'TERF' ( despite the fact that, as an egalitarian, I would never call myself a feminist ), and a proud transphobe...and then I watch the confusion sow among my friends and co-workers that know I'm not straight. Slowly but surely they will come with questions...and I will have answers.

I honestly think it's going to take L, G and B speaking out to stop this.

Because the T are so effectively using LGB as sword and shield, that the vast majority of even politicians supporting the Equality Act have no idea that it erases homo/bi sexuals and destroys the sex-based rights of LGBs.
