The end of women.

Women no longer exist. ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ Fellow Freedom Defender, Women no longer exist. That’s the Biden Administration’s endgame, and their changes to Title IX today take a devastating step towards it. For 52 years, Title IX has guaranteed the equal rights, protection, and access to the fruits of America’s prosperity for women. America’s public institutions guaranteed young women like me had access to equal and fair opportunities and could pursue our dreams of achievement and success unhindered. The Biden Administration ended those protections today. My fellow Leadership Institute graduate -- Congresswoman Virginia Foxx of North Carolina -- said, “This final rule dumps kerosene on the already raging fire that is Democrats’ contemptuous culture war that aims to radically redefine sex and gender.” Title IX used to protect against discrimination on the basis of sex -- on the incontrovertible, biological fact that men are men and women are women and both are afforded equal access under the law to government-funded programs. No more. The Biden Administration has rewritten the statute to base the protection not on sex but on “gender identity” -- a vague construction with no basis in science or common sense, but designed to push a harmful agenda. Friend, I’ve gotten used to the left trying to shut me up, but now they’re trying to erase all women. This change opens up the floodgates for any man who simply “identifies” as a woman to invade female-only spaces. It means the end of most single-sex spaces -- especially ones meant to protect women -- in every school, office, and institution that receives even a penny of federal funds. The rule released today creates a default position where men who identify as women can take opportunities designated explicitly for women. This change means a male college student is now legally protected if he wants to join the women’s swimming team -- and appear stark naked in their locker room. It’s women who have to bear the burden of proving this unfairness. This turns Title IX on its head because Title IX was never intended to be a fairness statute. It’s an opportunity statute, and when you take an opportunity from a woman, you violate that statute. You see what this all means. It means there’s no difference between male and female anymore, according to Joe Biden. And that especially puts so many girls and young women at risk at their schools and in their communities. On behalf of America’s daughters, the young women who stand up for truth and their right to not have to share a bathroom with a man just because he says he’s a woman, here’s our response: We will not be erased. When they want you silent, speak louder. That’s been my rallying cry since I got into this fight, and no “proclamation” from Joe Biden about what it means for me to be a woman will change that. I know you agree with me, Friend. So I’m asking you to stand with me. Support the work I do through the Riley Gaines Center at the Leadership Institute. [( Your support sends me to college campuses to reach young people with my message of courage in the face of censorship and truth in the face of radical gender ideology. These speeches become a rallying point for young conservatives to turn the principles they believe into action. Your support will help the Leadership Institute train young people to become the new generation of conservative leaders America cries out for. You’ll help them gain the skills to stand strong for the principles you believe in and make a difference in this country -- now and for a lifetime. This is a time for courage. This is a time for action. The Biden Administration thinks they can erase women, rewrite reality, and shove their radical gender ideology down our throats. They are wrong. I won’t be silent, and I don’t think you will be either, Friend. Please, Friend -- make a special gift today to stand with me for truth, common sense, and freedom. [( You and I must fight this injustice. For the many thousands of young women who will soon be forced to share female-only spaces with men. And for all of the women who come after us who deserve to grow up in a country that protects and honors them.
