Woke CAPITOL?

It's no secret that the progressive Left has an obsession with
"gender identity" - the idea that you can
"choose" your "gender" identity (distinct from
your biological sex). That focus is most apparent in the Equality Act,
one of the top priorities for national Democratic leadership. As you
may know, the Equality Act would push a radical agenda across America
while leaving women and children behind. You can learn about it here.

But, the Equality Act isn't the only place this agenda is
showing up.

Our team did a search through current Congressional bills and found
nearly 100 bills containing the term "gender identity."
What does this mean? Democratic leadership realizes that the full
Equality Act doesn't have enough support. That is in heartfelt
thanks to many of you who have helped stop that dangerous bill with
your prayers, taking action, and financial support.

But their backup plan is to force through the tenets of the Equality
Act piece-by-piece. In many ways, this is even more dangerous because
there are so many bills to keep track of that touch nearly every area
of law.

What kinds of bills did we find? Here are 10 arenas that could be
affected by current bills that contain the term "gender
identity":

1. Religious Freedom

2. Election Law

3. School Policies

4. "Consensual Sex Work"

5. Pregnancy and Birth

6. Jury Selection

7. Business Opportunities

8. Foreign Policy Focus

9. Healthcare

10. Daily American Life (The Equality Act)

My point here is not to comment on the merits of some of these
individual bills. Instead, I simply want to raise a question: why does
"gender identity" appear in so many very diverse bills?

There may be a number of reasons, including pressure from
corporations, political supporters, and political superiors. But
there's one reason we can't ignore. There are people
behind these bills, whether activists or elected officials or both,
who genuinely believe in gender ideology, and they are trying to play
the long game to victory.

This tactic isn't unique to those with whom we disagree.
It's an approach the pro-life movement has used to some degree,
as well. If federal money is at stake, we've kept it from
flowing toward abortion - even in some bills that may not
immediately seem to relate to abortion. If a safety regulation could
protect expectant mothers, we've likely pursued it.

Over time, this long-term strategy has altered both the legal and
cultural spheres. Younger generations are more pro-life, and countless
lives have been saved. All through a steady stream of small changes.

Those who favor the "gender identity" agenda are doing
something similar. To help give some perspective, here are the three
ways these bills use the term "gender identity."

The Overtly Dangerous Bills: In some cases, like the Equality Act or
the Equal Rights Act, the bill explicitly advocates for a progressive
agenda on sex and gender - an agenda that actively harms many,
especially women and children.

The Legal Status Change: In some cases, "gender identity"
was added as a "protected class" in another area of law.
This means, for example, that if a man identifies as a woman, he would
receive the same sort of special legal protections that someone might
receive on the basis of race or religion. Not only do these bills pave
the way for dangerous laws like the Equality Act, but they also create
a certain level of cultural acceptance for that belief.

Redefining Sex: Similarly, other bills included "gender"
in the definition of "sex" (or other similar
provisions). Of course, the way I feel about my body (gender
identity) may be a very different thing from biological reality.
 These are ideas we should not conflate in public policy. Yet
again, it's a subtle language change intended to change legal
precedent and cultural attitudes.

The progressive Left is on a dedicated mission to change hearts and
change the law. And, importantly - some of them really believe
it, which means they'll stop at nothing to win.

Their goal? Promote an agenda that leaves children sterile, lets males
win female sports, and cancels religious freedom and parental rights.

We cannot, we must not, let this agenda win.
