For far too long the sexual activists have been having one win after another, destroying the institutions of marriage and family, and putting women and children at very real risk. Indeed, these revolutionaries have been working overtime, seeking to wipe out the very reality of women and biology. It has been a tsunami of destruction sweeping over most of the West.
But many of us have been fighting back, and just over the past few days there have been at least three terrific wins when it comes to the gender wars, the sexual revolutionaries, and protecting women. Three nations have just seen significant victories for some sexual sanity, with the radical trans agenda being given a few big hits. Here are the three notable cases:
America
The Head of the Department of Justice, Attorney General Pam Bondi has just announced that the Trump Administration is suing the Maine Department of Education for not protecting women in sports and elsewhere. This is in accord with Title IX which says women must not be discriminated against in schools that receive federal funding.
Back on February 5 an executive order was signed by President Trump stating that men must keep out of women’s sport. On February 21 Trump had called out the Maine governor, Democrat Janet Mills on this issue. He asked her if her state was going to comply with the order.
She replied by saying she would comply with “state and federal law.” “Well, we are the federal law,” replied Trump. “You better do it, because you’re not going to get any federal funding at all if you don’t.” Mills then said, “See you in court.” Trump retorted, “Good, I’ll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be a real easy one. And enjoy your life after governor, because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.”
Mills later put out a statement saying, “If the President attempts to unilaterally deprive Maine school children of the benefit of Federal funding, my Administration and the Attorney General will take all appropriate and necessary legal action to restore that funding and the academic opportunity it provides. The State of Maine will not be intimidated by the President’s threats.”
At the press conference Bondi was joined by other women, including activist Riley Gaines and fencer Stephanie Turner. She said: “The Department of Justice will not sit by when women are discriminated against in sports… What they have been through is horrific. We want to get states to comply with us.”
American Parents Coalition Executive Director Alleigh Marré said the following about this move by the DOJ: “This action by the Administration sends a clear message to parents who have been fighting for their daughters’ private spaces to be protected and for fair athletic competition. Our daughters’ rights and privacy should not be subject to ideological whims. The next generation of girls deserve a world where they are protected and respected.” https://www.foxnews.com/sports/bondi-announces-lawsuit-against-maine-refusing-ban-trans-athletes-from-girls-sports
This is great news indeed and it is hoped that Mills and her activist buddies will be soundly put in their place. Enough is enough, and these activist Democrats need to be reminded just what the majority of Americans want and expect on these matters.
The UK
In the UK the Supreme Court has just ruled that women are to be defined by biology, not ideology. One news outlet put it this way:
The Supreme Court has announced that the definition of a woman is based on biological sex in a landmark judgement. Lord Hodge said that five Supreme Court justices had unanimously decided that ‘the terms woman and sex in the Equality Act refer to a ‘biological woman and biological sex’.
He recognised ‘the strength of feeling on both sides’ and cautioned against seeing the judgement as a triumph for one side over another, stressing that the law still gives trans people protection against discrimination. In an 88-page ruling, the justices said: ‘The definition of sex in the Equality Act 2010 makes clear that the concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a man.’
The decision could have far-reaching implications on how sex-based rights apply, including how women-only spaces are allowed to operate. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch praised the ruling as a ‘victory’ for women and said it meant the ‘era of Keir Starmer telling us women can have penises has come to an end’.
More sanity and more victories for women! Well done.
New Zealand
Finally, a commonsense decision by the government in New Zealand that is certainly welcomed, although long overdue. The associate health minister has just recently said that there will be a halt to speaking of ‘pregnant persons’ and related foolishness. Says one report:
The coalition has directed Health New Zealand to say “women” instead of “pregnant people” in its communications about health issues. Associate Health Minister Casey Costello wrote to interim chief executive Dr Dale Bramley on 27 March, telling the agency to use “clear language”.
“Recent documents that have reached my office from the Ministry of Health have referred to women as ‘pregnant people’, ‘people with a cervix’ or ‘individuals capable of childbearing’,” she said in the letter. “Only women and people of the female sex can get pregnant and birth a child no matter how they identify.” Costello pointed to inequities and bias in the health system, as well as conditions like endometriosis, as reasons why she thought it was necessary Health NZ used “sex-specific language”.
“It is important that we have clarity about the people we are referring to when talking about women’s health. Sex-specific language ensures that women know what health services they are entitled to and can access these easily, especially for those women with English as a second language.”
Bob McCoskrie of FamilyFirst New Zealand said this about the decision: “Biology returned to public policy with the “wild” notion that only women can get pregnant. In recent years, comments like that would have got you blocked by Facebook, and pilloried by the press. But it’s thanks partly to your efforts that we have got back to this basic biological truth being expressed in the public domain.”
Yes, finally, a bit of sanity from this radically woke country. Sure, it can be asked why this move took so long, but at least it happened. And with these overseas wins, one can be more hopeful that similar moves back to truth and reality will happen in Australia as well.
Australia next?
For too long Australia has also succumbed to mind-numbing silliness when to comes to trans ideology and radical sexual militancy. Various pro-family and pro-women’s groups have long been fighting some of this craziness, and hopefully the overseas victories will embolden these groups to keep working to protect Australian women and children especially from the sexual revolutionaries.
Sex-based rights and protections have been eroded across all Australian states and territories with the introduction of sex self-ID laws allowing men to legally self-identify as women, and where protections for ‘gender identity’ have superseded protections for sex in anti-discrimination laws.
They have been eroded at the federal level where the biological definitions of ‘woman’ and ‘man’ have been erased from the Sex Discrimination Act, and conflicting protections similarly added for ‘gender identity’.
And they have been undermined in policies spanning prisons, education, sports and more, where male offenders who identify as female are being housed in women’s prisons, boys who identify as girls are using girls’ bathrooms at school, and men who identify as women are dominating women’s sports and injuring female athletes.
Such laws and policies threaten safety, privacy, dignity and fairness for women and girls, and are utterly incompatible with efforts to end violence against them.
The reality is, that men who identify as women, are being afforded more rights and protections than actual women.
Enough is enough.
And the petition reads as follows:
Dear Prime Minister, Premiers and Chief Ministers,
cc: Opposition leaders
We are deeply concerned by the loss of women’s sex-based rights and their erasure in Australian laws and policies.
We have seen the resulting harms both in Australia and overseas, where women and girls have been injured or lost opportunities due to men playing in what should be female-only sports, and where they have been sexually assaulted by trans-identified males in what should be female-only spaces, or have opted to self-exclude from those spaces due to safety and privacy concerns.
We have also seen the unjust reprisals faced by women both in Australia and internationally who speak out about biological reality and the harms of men identifying as women, including vilification, defamation, doxing, assault, censorship, legal harassment, and loss of employment.
We call on you to urgently act to protect the rights and safety of women and girls by restoring them and their sex-based rights and protections in laws and policies across Australia.
Please sign and share this petition far and wide. Together we can see some more wins for women, for children, and for families. A fightback is under way, and maybe these cases will just be the beginning of many more such wins. We sure do need them, and fast.
There is some good news from Australia recently:

Yes you are quite right Mark. That was a good win. Hopefully more are on the way.
Prime Minister Albanese is 100% correct
