UN Women Must Renounce Its Support for Dishonest and Dangerous Transgender Agenda

June 6, 2023 – The transgender agenda is a global movement that seeks to erase the distinctions between male and female, thereby weakening the nuclear family (1). Recent weeks have witnessed a rapid expansion of opposition by groups and persons from both the Left and Right.

One of the strongest critics is Gays Against Groomers, a liberal-leaning group that describes itself as an “organization of gays against the sexualization, indoctrination and medicalization of children under the guise of LGBTQIA+.” The group has chapters in Canada, Japan, and the United States (2).

Another vocal critic is British gay activist Simon Edge, who recently derided the transgender movement as “trying to redefine language, reorganise public toilets and changing rooms, kibosh women’s sport and take control of HR departments.” Edge concludes, “Some people don’t think the T belongs with the LGB.” (3)

Echoing many of these concerns, Canadian libertarian Wendy McElroy reveals, “Critics of the trans movement are rebelling against the forced redefinition of biology, the destruction of women’s sports by trans athletes, the hijacking of children’s education, the medical experiment of gender-transitioning children, and the intrusion of penises in women-only spaces.” (4)

In the United States, transgenderism has been emboldened by proposed changes to the Title IX sex discrimination law (5). In recent weeks, the stock prices of Anheuser-Busch (6) and Target (7) have plummeted due to their promotion of trans-themed products.

American media personality Megyn Kelly recently affirmed that she will not engage in the “dishonesty” of using preferred pronouns because they constitute a “gateway drug to genital mutilation.” (8) Twitter CEO Elon Musk is more candid in his analysis: “Gender-affirming care for minors is pure evil.” (9)

Transgenderism has been denounced by the Pope (10), Moslem clerics (11), and other religious groups (12).

To advance its agenda, transgender activists are stifling free speech and resorting to the use of violence (13).

Despite these concerns, UN Women has issued a number of pro-trans tweets in recent days (14), and published a series of reports and position statements in support of the transgender movement (15-17).

Lawmakers around the world are invited to contact UN Women and urge the agency to immediately renounce its support for transgenderism, or face major reductions in its financial support.

Contact information for UN Women liaison offices around the world is available online (18).

Attorneys General to DOE: We will “fight your proposed changes to Title IX with every available tool in our arsenal.”

WASHINGTON / June 5, 2023 – The Biden Department of Education (DOE) has issued two draft Title IX regulations that would have broad effects on schools and on society. Among a wide range of changes, the first proposal would expand the definition of biological “sex” to include “gender identity.” (1) The second would promote the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports (2).

If approved, the proposals would have far-reaching, harmful consequences in other areas such as free speech, due process, parental rights, religious freedom, and gender transitioning of minors (3).

On May 15, 2023 a coalition of 22 state Attorneys General sent a letter to the Department of Education, emphasizing their opposition to the Biden Administration’s proposed athletics regulation. The strongly worded letter from MS, AL, AR, FL, GA, ID, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MT, NE, ND, OH, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, and WV states,

“The proposed rule defies Title IX’s text, history, and purpose. It disregards five decades of evidence showing the benefits of applying the traditional definition of biological sex in sports. It ignores basic considerations of privacy and dignity. And it fails to meet the Department’s duty to analyze costs and benefits.” (4)

This letter is the latest missive from a coalition of Attorneys General opposing the Biden administration’s proposed Title IX regulations:

June 23, 2022: Eighteen Attorneys General sent a letter to the DOE warning, “we will fight your proposed changes to Title IX with every available tool in our arsenal.” (5)
June 27, 2022: The Attorneys General of AL, AK, AZ, AR, GA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MS, MO, MT, NE, OH, OK, SC, SD, TN, and WV amended a prior lawsuit, which resulted in a Preliminary Injunction placed on the draft Title IX regulation (6).
September 12, 2022: Responding during the regulation’s open comment period, Attorneys General submitted three separate letters to the DOE:
- Indiana, joined by the Attorneys General from AL, AZ, AR, GA, KS, KY, LA, MS, MT, NE, OK, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, and WV (7).
- Montana, joined by the Attorneys General from AL, AR, GA, IN, KS, KY, LA, MS, NE, OK, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, and VA (8).
- Ohio, joined by the Attorneys General from AL, AK, AR, FL, GA, IN, KS, KY, LA, MS, MT, NE, OK, SC, SD, UT, WV, AND WY (9).

SAVE commends the persistent and principled efforts of the Attorneys General seeking to block the Biden administration’s deeply-flawed Title IX proposals.

SAVE calls on state and federal lawmakers to continue to voice their strong opposition to both Title IX proposals. Email comments to the office of Secy. Miguel Cardona at the Department of Education: alejandro.reyes@ed.gov

Supreme Court Must Resolve the Many Circuit Splits that Divide Students’ Rights

Supreme Court Must Resolve the Many Circuit Splits that Divide Students’ Rights

Benjamin North

Associate & Title IX Advisor, Binnall Law Group

May 24, 2023

When a student graduates from high school and looks at potential colleges, they don’t typically do legal research to see where their federal rights differ across federal circuits. They make a very reasonable assumption that their basic rights are the same, because all colleges in the United States are subject to the same federal laws. Unfortunately, this could not be further from the truth when it comes to student discipline. And the recent proliferation of litigation against colleges (meticulously tracked by Brooklyn College professor KC Johnson [1]) has only made the issue more dire.

Court simply cannot agree on the Title IX disciplinary process. Without uniformity in the law, students across the country are subject to wildly different standards, both with respect to what process a university must take before depriving students of their education, and as to what they must allege in a lawsuit if it becomes necessary to correct discriminatory disciplinary actions in court.

Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has been thus far reluctant to take any of these issues up on certiorari, and its continued delay in resolving these divides will only result in more inconsistencies. Students deserve the same rights under the same law, and it is critical that the Supreme Court ensure that basic consistency.

The first area in which courts are split is the requirement of constitutional due process; that is, the process that a public school must follow before depriving its students of their education in the form of a suspension or expulsion.

The threshold question, of course, is whether education is protected by due process, and if there is any “due process” required at all. If there is no due process required at all, public schools are free as a constitutional matter to expel tuition paying students for no reason at all, and students have no recourse.

While this would seem on its face to be unjust and incompatible with our system of government (and contrary to existing Supreme Court law in Goss v. Lopez [2]), federal district courts in the Fourth Circuit [3] consistently decline to find any protected interest in public university students’ education, leading to that same result: that students are not entitled to any due process at all. While several circuit courts have held that due process applies (at least the First, [4] Fifth, [5] Sixth, [6] Seventh, [7] and Eighth [8] Circuits), the continued failure of the Supreme Court to address the issue directly means that students in the Fourth Circuit very likely will continue to be on the receiving end of judicial opinions that fail to recognize any due process interests whatsoever. Students deserve a clear and basic rule, that due process applies in the public university setting.

Of course, once it is decided that due process applies, the next question is what process is due? On this question, circuits also are split.

The Sixth Circuit, for example, held in Doe v. Baum [9] that live adversarial cross examination was required by due process in student discipline cases where credibility is an issue. The First Circuit disagreed, holding in Haidak v. University of Massachusetts-Amherst [10] that live cross examination is not required; rather, impartial questioning by a hearing panel is required. Setting aside the point that the Sixth Circuit took the correct approach (the standard of an “impartial” hearing panel is more vague and far less workable that simply requiring cross examination, among other issues), the issue remains that students in different circuits have different rights, under the same Constitution.

Similarly, circuits are split on what Title IX requires in these cases. The Second Circuit held in Yusuf v. Vassar College [11] that students seeking to remedy discriminatory discipline under Title IX must plead “erroneous outcome” or “selective enforcement” causes of action under the statute. The Seventh Circuit in Doe v. Purdue [12] disagreed, holding that students need only plead facts sufficient to infer discrimination (which tracks almost exactly the language of the Title IX statute itself). This is a foundational difference on what it takes to bring a Title IX lawsuit in the first place, and again, students have wildly different standards based on where they live or attend school.

Even more alarming, sometimes schools assert during litigation that they may have been biased against the student, but it wasn’t on the basis of sex. This argument, schools hope, saves them from liability under Title IX because the law does not prohibit schools from railroading students per se, only if they do so on the basis of the student’s sex.

Circuits again disagree on whether this argument is sufficient to save the school from liability, or put another way, whether a student has to disprove other potential causes of discipline before getting to discovery or to trial. For example, whereas the Eleventh Circuit in Doe v. Samford [13] affirmed a dismissal of a Title IX lawsuit because the student did not disprove other potential causes of the discipline (other than bias on the basis of sex) in his complaint, the Tenth Circuit in Doe v. University of Denver [14] permitted a lawsuit to go to trial on this issue. The Tenth Circuit reasoned, correctly, that the issue of what bias the university used (bias on the basis of sex or bias on the basis of the student being the accused) is a question of fact that needs to be resolved by a jury, because it comes down to what is more believable. Once again, circuits are split, and students across the country do not have uniform rights.

The above is not an exhaustive listing of all of the disagreements among the federal circuit courts in this area. There are other important areas where courts disagree, including the causation standard for Title IX. But for sake of brevity, suffice it to say that students across the country do not have a clear view of what their rights are. Students deserve the same rights under the same law, and I desperately hope that the Supreme Court takes the opportunity to make that a reality in the near future.

Children at Risk. What is Happening Now?

By Traditional Family Association

May 23, 2023

Translated from Czech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6NQxGhPXog

Once again, the insane LGTBI propaganda has taken off as it always does at this time. Many of you see this as a topic that doesn’t concern him, many of you are bored by this topic, or downright annoyed by this topic. Unfortunately for most people in this society they wave their hands over it and act like it doesn’t concern them.

Beware OMYL!

It mainly concerns them and it concerns children.

The point is that LGBT activists and non-profits are not targeting any minority at all, gays, lesbians, etc., that is not their target group of people. Their target group is children. And they’re mainly the children of you heterosexuals.

It’s been coming out basically in years past, but it wasn’t as obvious there, it’s obvious now.

Let’s start with the symbolism.

You’ve probably noticed that the rainbow flag, the LGBT flag, we’ve changed a little bit, we’ve added a pink and white tip. It’s a symbol of transgender, but it’s basically a symbol of transideology, and here it’s already a really big SURPRISE!

Because that transideology is what trans activists and non-profits are incredibly attacking children with right now. If we look to America where this is coming from, it’s gotten to the point where LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual) groups there are tearing themselves apart and distancing themselves from trans and queer. In our country, queer, are transvestites, are men who dress up in women’s clothes. These activists and non-profits are now targeting children in incredible ways.

If we’re talking pro-marriage for all that’s another thing that’s totally unacceptable for us to endorse. Because it legitimizes all of these ideologies and opens the door to exactly

All the countries that have passed this agenda, whether it’s marriage for all and other legislative procedures, not as you’re told on TV and in the media and by politicians that it hasn’t hurt anybody, that it’s been working there for 20, 30 years.

WRONG!

It has hurt there. It hurt thousands, maybe tens of thousands of just children and it hurt their parents. Because these countries are characterized by three things in particular:

A very low and ever-decreasing birth rate even for heterosexual couples.
Increased and increasing numbers of children suffering from gender dysphoria and it is only because of this propaganda and in many of them especially in the UK and progressive states of the USA, trans clinics have sprung up to re-educate children! This monstrosity has been noticed by gays and lesbians themselves and in some states they are distancing themselves heavily from it and starting to fight against it. That is why it is absolutely important that this year we really pay due attention to this and sweep it off the table. Because this year, this particular period that has started is absolutely groundbreaking and it is a turning point!

If anyone doesn’t believe that, I have two pieces of evidence for you that LGBT activists, and especially trans activists, are all about the children. It’s about four months ago, when in Germany, and I’ll take Germany as an example, because it’s closer to us than the UK or the US……Regenboren-portal.DE, which is a non-profit rainbow organisation that falls directly under the Ministry of Family Affairs, there was an advert targeting 10-year-olds recommending puberty blockers. Puberty blockers are used to treat adolescents who have real problems, but to offer puberty blockers to all kids and to advertise it, asking them: Am I transgender? How do I know? And then it says, “Take your time, try it. Do you feel better as a girl? Or do you feel more comfortable as a boy? The important thing is, you’re supposed to do well. Who you are at 10 doesn’t matter. Are you a man, are you a woman? You don’t have to decide right now.”

The second column says, “Take puberty blockers. You’re still very young, and you’re not in puberty yet, or you don’t want to go into puberty yet? Then take puberty blockers.

Puberty blockers have untold side effects in many children and adolescents, even lifelong consequences. What the activists claim (and I encounter this today and daily) is that it’s only short term and has short term effects and then it basically wears off. NO! IT WILL NOT EXPIRE.

After a few days, this non-profit was forced to take down this ad because there was such strong opposition from parents that they pulled the ad. But as you can see the progression, this rainbow progression is now really targeted at children.

It’s crazy. For those for whom this is not enough, I have another message:

A photo has surfaced in Berlin’s underground railway. For the city district… they’re looking for kindergarten teachers and tutors. These posters are several meters long! How many of you would like your children to be educated in a kindergarten?

The text of the poster is: “Does it play any role at all? Queer and one or one, a good tutor or governess. That’s important to us. Sign up.”

This is already heavily over the edge, because the so-called Queer, in our country it’s called transvestites, so it’s the closest thing to that. They’re biologically men who don’t even want to become women and just have this fetish that they like to dress up in women’s clothes.

I have now ordered a book which is from the USA, it’s called ‘Queer and Gender’. This book in the state of Illinois is mandatory in school libraries, it is in the form of a comic book. If the state school administrators decide to remove these books, they will not get any money from the state. What’s in this book? A grown, hardened adult’s stomach churns. For example, there are depictions of two ten-year-old boys giving oral pleasure. This is presented to children as part of their school curriculum. The next book is even “cooler”. In this book for children aged 10 and up (this age is the target group for the lobbyists because they are pre-pubescent children) they are taught how to clean their anus before sex, or how two men orally satisfy themselves, or two women, etc. In this book, they even learn what a “skit” is, which is a sexual practice in which excrement is ingested. It’s in the article and in the photo.

When a FB user writes to me that he doesn’t care, that there are pictures like this on the internet and kids will find it, I got mad and made a video on fb, the transcript of which you are now reading.

These people need to wake up very quickly.

If we don’t stop this, your kids will have access to decide for themselves what and who they want to be. Indoctrination is very powerful.

If you take trans people who read them fairy tales or show off in front of them, telling them how great it is to be something other than who they are, kids will pick up on that. Because they’re kids. They like the colors, they like the comedy, they like it when someone smiles at them and does shit to them, but the consequences are absolutely drastic.

I’m in touch with many groups and other “rainbow” organizations in the US, the UK, or even Australia and Canada (Canada is the absolute worst) that are against child abuse because it’s already child abuse.

This is legalized child abuse, and they are standing up against it and fighting against it.

It needs to be stopped from the start.

That’s why it’s imperative that this progression not be given a chance in our country.

It is at its peak in the west, it will break and it is breaking.

If we keep this up, I’m telling you, we’re going to save a lot of kids’ lives.

We live in a time when many people are in financial trouble, when many people are losing their assets, when many people are in a bad way. I think people can lose everything material, the tangible, but the last thing they lose is their children. They shouldn’t lose their children, they should fight to the last for that.

Those who don’t understand this or make light of it are aiding and abetting these psychopaths, there is no other way to call them.

Claiming something about human rights is not what these NGO’s are demanding, these are mere demands.

They are not human rights because all human rights are granted to all groups of people in the western world.

Don’t fall for these cheap slogans. Many of you don’t have the balls to dig into the details like I or other people do. Cheap slogans are false, untrue.

We have tried and experienced this for ourselves on Czech TV with Mrs Jílková, where many lies were told, especially at the end of the programme. We will, of course, contradict these lies in time. However, it is not such a priority for us at the moment.

The priority now is for people to find out what the aim of these lobbyists is.

Let me answer the question, why are they doing this?

Why are they targeting children?

The answer is simple:

Look for money behind everything.

In all the states where this LGBT propaganda has been legalized, where this insane progression has been allowed, trans clinics have sprung up many times over to reassign children. There’s a huge business in it. Kids who take puberty blockers, which is nothing more than chemical castration, which is used on severe sex offenders who, for example, leave correctional facilities and have long term side effects, it’s a huge business for the farmalobes.

What we said in Jilek, that we’re going to be basically selling children, that it’s legalizing the business of children, so yes, that’s another huge business.

Look for the money behind everything.

Let everybody make money however they want, but don’t bring children into it. It’s terrible.

There’s a lot of posts on Twitter, I didn’t even have to look much. That’s why we need to show people where this is going.

It’s a monstrosity and it needs to be stopped.

Tidal Wave of Opposition to Biden ‘Gender-Identity’ Plan

WASHINGTON / May 17, 2023 – Last June the Biden Department of Education (DOE) released a proposed regulation that would expand the definition of biological “sex” to include the fluid concept of “gender identity.” (1) In response, over 200 members of the Title IX Network recorded their disagreement with the plan (2). Numerous lawmakers and attorneys general issued strongly worded statements of disapproval, as well (3).

Last month, the DOE issued a second proposal designed to promote the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports (4). In response, opposition to the Biden Title IX proposals has grown dramatically in recent days:

May 10: Thirty-four state lawmakers sent a letter highlighting the growing wave of violent incidents by transgender activists, and urging the DOE to “immediately abandon its plan to release a new Title IX regulation.” (5)

May 12: A coalition of 26 state governors signed a letter calling on DOE Secretary Miguel Cardona to withdraw the proposed athletics regulation to “restore the protection of fairness in women’s and girls’ sports.” (6)

May 15: Twenty-two Republican senators called on the Biden Administration to withdraw its plan, which could prevent states from enforcing bans on transgender athletes competing in women’s sports (7).

May 16: The Attorneys General in nearly two dozen states sent letters urging the Biden Administration to uphold Title IX protections for female athletes (8).

Individual lawmakers have spoken out on the issue, as well. For example, Texas Democrat Rep. Shawn Thierry recently testified in support of a bill that would protect underage children from medical interventions designed to change their gender (9).

A strong majority of the American public is opposed to the Biden gender-identity plan, as well. A YouGov public opinion survey found that 63% of Americans oppose expanding the definition of sex to include “gender identity,” and 71% do not believe transgender athletes should be allowed to participate in women’s sports (10).

Following Wave of Violent Incidents by Transgender Activists, 72 Organizations and 34 State Lawmakers Call on DOE to Abandon Title IX Plan

May 10, 2023 – In a coalition letter sent today to Dr. Miguel Cardona, Secretary of the Department of Education, 72 organizations and 34 state lawmakers, have expressed their deep concerns with the upswing in incidents of violence by transgender activists.

On June 23, 2022 the U.S. Department of Education issued a draft Title IX regulation that redefines “sex” to include “gender identity.” (1) This proposal served to activate and embolden the transgender rights movement, leading to a growing number of violent incidents around the country. Following are examples of such incidents in recent weeks:

April 6, San Francisco, CA: Following a speech by former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines, a group of activists began to chant, “Trans rights are human rights.” They chased Gaines down a hallway, hitting her on the head, and forcing her to seek safety in a room. To secure her release, the activists demanded that Riley pay each of them a $10 “ransom.” (2)
April 23, Ft. Worth, TX: Three Antifa members were arrested on multiple charges, including assault of a police officer. They were arrested after attacking a peaceful protest outside a local restaurant where a drag queen show was taking place. Two out of the three Antifa members were transgender (3).
May 8, Kent, OH: Kent State College Republicans announced it would be holding a screening of the film, “What is a Woman?” In response, transgender activists made veiled threats, saying that they were undeterred by police investigations. The dispute culminated in a confrontation in which an activist forcibly tore a sign from the hands of a KSCR member (4).

A complete list of Incidents can be seen online (5).

The 72 organizations and 34 state lawmakers who signed the coalition letter urge the Department of Education to immediately abandon its plan to release a new Title IX regulation. Today’s letter to the Department of Education is available online (6).

All 72 organizations are members of the Title IX Network, the umbrella group that is leading the national effort to stop the Department of Education’s Title IX plan (7).

Police Must Act Now to Stop Growing Wave of Violence by Transgender Activists

WASHINGTON / April 20, 2023 – Last June the Department of Education issued a proposal to expand the definition of “sex” to include “gender identity” (1), a move that served to strengthen and embolden the transgender rights movement. That same month, the Trans Resistance Network began to tweet a series of inflammatory messages, for example making the claim that “Disarming trans people is a preparation for genocide.” (2)

Not surprisingly, a growing number of incidents of harassment and free speech violations by transgender activists were seen during subsequent months. On March 9, for example, a group of activists at Stanford University repeatedly interrupted the comments of Judge Stuart Duncan, forcing him to curtail his presentation. Previously, Duncan had denied the request of Norman Varner, convicted of child exploitation, to change his sex and be referred to by a female name (3).

Some of these incidents escalated into credible threats of violence, or actual violence.

Best known is the shooting of three staff members and three students at Covenant School in Nashville on March 27. The shooter, Audrey Hale, self-identified as transgender (4).

The Nashville tragedy is one of numerous other violent incidents in the past six months. This number has escalated dramatically since early March:

October 26, 2022, Tacoma, WA
November 14, New York City
February 28, 2023, Oklahoma City

April 6, San Francisco State University

The most recent April 6 incident followed a talk by NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines, where she was chased down a hallway, repeatedly hit on the head, and forced to seek safety in a classroom for three hours (5).

In some cases, law enforcement took little action to halt the violence. SAVE calls on law enforcement and campus security personnel to act decisively to stop the wave of violence by transgender activists. SAVE also calls on lawmakers to support these efforts.

More information about these incidents is available on the SAVE website (6).

String of Transgender Incidents Reveal Threats of Biden Title IX Plan

WASHINGTON / April 11, 2023 – Three recent incidents reveal the growing lawlessness of the national transgender movement. The newfound prominence of transgenderism can be traced to the Title IX proposal released last June by the Biden Department of Education (1). Following are the three incidents:

March 9, Stanford University: Judge Stuart Duncan was invited to give a talk to students at the Stanford Law School. But a group of students with signs that read, “Trans Lives Matter” repeatedly interrupted his comments, forcing him to cut short his presentation.
The students were protesting the fact that in 2015, Duncan had denied the request of Norman Varner, previously convicted of child exploitation, to change his sex and be referred to by a female name (2). Stanford University later issued an apology (3).
March 27, Nashville: Armed with a rifle, pistol, and handgun, Audrey Hale rushed into Covenant School and fired 152 shots, killing three staff members and three students. Hale had self-identified as transgender (4).
April 6, San Francisco State University: Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines gave a speech at the San Francisco State University to explain her opposition to the participation of biological males in women’s sports. In response, a group of activists began to frantically chant, “Trans rights are human rights.” The activists chased Riley down a hallway, assaulting her repeatedly and forcing her to seek safety in a room. To secure her release, the activists demanded that Riley pay each of them a $10 “ransom.” (5)

The recent surge of transgender activism can be traced back to June 23, 2022 when the Biden Department of Education released its proposed Title IX regulation, the federal law that was designed to curb sex discrimination in schools. The Biden regulation seeks to change the definition of “sex” to include “gender identity,” a change that would bolster the prominence of the transgender movement in America.

Recent developments reveal other serious defects with the Biden proposal (6):

Parental Rights: On March 24, the U.S. House of Representatives approved the Parents Bill of Rights, which would help protect against secretive school policies and overly-sexualized instructional content (7).
Due Process: Last week, a judge ruled against The College of New Jersey, citing a myriad of procedural irregularities and allowing its adjudicators to be influenced by external pressures to convict a student accused of sexual misconduct (8).
Free Speech: An article in the Washington Examiner revealed that a majority of U.S. universities have instituted anonymous “snitching” protocols for statements perceived to be biased (9).

To date, 210 organizational members of the Title IX Network have announced their opposition to the Biden Title IX plan (10). We urge the Department of Education to immediately abandon its plan to release a new Title IX regulation.

A comprehensive review of child homicides around the world reached this conclusion:

“The 12 countries with detailed data on parent as perpetrators showed mothers commit the majority of parental homicides of children under 1 year (71.7% (IQR: 50.2–75.7)).”

To illustrate the extent of the problem, below are the results of a Google search that looked for news stories about American mothers who killed their children in the last 12 months:
