On August 11th, 2016, Women’s Liberation Front filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Justice and the US Department of Education, challenging their recent actions which have caused the dissolution of Title IX, violating the rights of women and girls, including the fifth and fourteenth amendments of the Constitution.

The swift and enthusiastic push for transgender rights in America is having dire consequences that severely threaten the privacy, dignity, safety, and equality of women and girls.
The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department of Education (DOE) have abruptly enacted a new policy, defining the category of “sex” in Title IX to include “gender identity.” This effectively renders Title IX meaningless, as females can no longer be recognized as distinct from males. Indeed, Title IX, the legislation used to champion the very creation of female sports, is now being used to dismantle them, as male athletes demand access to female teams, dominating the competition.
The reinterpretation of “sex” to include “gender identity” also means that girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms must be opened up to any male who “identifies” as female. Girls’ rights to personal privacy and freedom from male sexual harassment, forced exposure to male nudity, and voyeurism have been eliminated with the stroke of a pen. Schools that do not comply with the demands of any male student to access to protected female spaces will now lose federal funding.
Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF) has decided this cannot stand. The President of the United States, the most powerful man in the world, has told teenage girls that they are now required to get over their “discomfort” at boys in their locker room.

This trans-phobic nonsense has no place in feminism, and certainly no place in this movement. Girl’s right to privacy has not been eliminated, it has been extended to include girls who were born with the wrong set of genitals. Your continuous references to trans women as ‘males’ is highly insulting and factually incorrect. If you aren’t fighting to protect ALL women, including those assigned an incorrect gender at birth, you are just as bad as the oppressors. I urge you to see sense, have some empathy for the women who go through so much to be able to stand as one of us, and remove your support for this.
The fight to save the planet needs as many people involved as possible, and supporting statements like this is only going to turn away trans-gendered people and their allies. I was excited to join your movement and start an NZ chapter of Deep Green Resistance, but now I am seriously reconsidering. If this is what you stand for, I do not want to be associated with this, and will have to find a more inclusive space to dedicate my efforts.
