And if you dare to object, you’re warned: stay silent—or face the consequences.
That’s what happened to me.
To earn my place on the University of Pennsylvania’s NCAA Division I swim team, I began training in elementary school—eventually swimming twice a day and logging up to 50,000 yards per week in high school.
College recruiters praised my drive and discipline, telling me my work ethic would open doors far beyond the pool.
So I was stunned when college administrators disregarded those same standards and instead celebrated my male teammate—who had ranked in the 400s and 500s nationally on the men’s team—as “brave” and “heroic” for switching to the women’s team, where he instantly became one of the top-ranked “female” swimmers in the country.
When I voiced my concerns, administrators shut me down.
They told me it was “non-negotiable” that this man would compete alongside me—and undress beside me in the women’s locker room.
They didn’t fix the injustice. They offered me “psychological services” to help me accept it. Then came their “advice”: “Be a team player. Don’t get canceled for being a bigot.”
But I was raised to stand up for what is right, good, and true.
How could I stay silent and support a lie—knowing that if I gave in, the next generation of young women would pay the price?
Would you want your daughter, sister, or granddaughter to remain quiet in that moment? Or would you want her to have the courage to speak the truth?
Unfortunately, the social pressure these Leftists are putting on young women is working all too often.
In fact, over 60% of young women (ages 18-29) are not just silent when it comes to radical woke policies but publicly support them -- the same policies that have degraded and harmed them by depriving them of their rights to safety, privacy, and equal opportunity.
Leftists gloat that young women are a lost cause.
Don’t believe it. That’s just another lie.
Yes, many young women say they’re “liberal.” But under the surface liberalism you find when it comes to marriage, motherhood, finances, and crime, these same young women express strong, naturally conservative instincts—ones they’ve abandoned or hid out of fear of conflict.
In other words: they’re not a lost cause. They’re just silenced and indoctrinated.
But the time for sitting back while radicals reshape our young women, campuses, and culture is over.
You and I must stand up—and make it clear: we will not be silenced.

When I reflect on everything I experienced, I no longer wonder how this happened.
It happened because too many people stayed silent.
Too many leaders—people entrusted with protecting young women—chose cowardice over courage, conformity over truth.
And beneath their failure lies something even more dangerous: a radical ideology that has taken root in our institutions.
An ideology that tells girls truth and morality are relative.
That faith and family are oppressive.
That their worth depends on blind allegiance to the woke agenda—
And that anyone who dares to dissent will be cast out, condemned, and forgotten.
You and I know this is a lie. But tragically, many young women are falling for it.
And that’s exactly why the Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women exists—to embolden these women, to equip them, and to show them they’re not alone.

UPenn and the NCAA gave “Lia” Thomas a platform to push a harmful agenda. Now the Luce Center is giving women like Riley Gaines and me a platform to speak the truth.
For more than 30 years, with support from patriots like you, the Luce Center has been reaching young women on college campuses to prepare and support them in standing up for their conservative values against the attacks of the radical Left.
