House Democrats unanimously voted this week against legislation to build a new women’s history museum on the National Mall. The reason was an amendment that limited the exhibits to biological women to the exclusion of transgender figures. The museum failed 204-216 as House Democrats hoped that they could still secure a museum including transgender figures once they retake power after the midterm elections.
The amendment drafted by Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., states in part, “The Museum shall be dedicated to preserving, researching, and presenting the history, achievements and lived experiences of biological women in the United States.”
It further mandated that the museum would not depict “any biological male as female.”
The vote was notable after the release of the DNC “autopsy” report that flagged how transgender and identity politics contributed to the defeat in the last election.
The report specifically noted the success of Trump’s “Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you” ad. The report noted that “If the Vice President would not change her position — and she did not — then there was nothing which would have worked as a response.”
The fact that this was a unanimous vote among Democratic members is particularly notable and suggests that transgender issues will remain a rallying point for the Democrats.
Democratic members called the exclusion a “poison pill” amendment.
In the meantime, transgender issues continue to occupy the courts with a major decision by the Colorado Supreme Court this week that ordered Colorado’s largest provider of gender-affirming care for young people to resume medical treatments like puberty blockers and hormone therapy.
That puts Children’s Hospital Colorado in direct conflict with the Department of Health and Human Services, which has moved to block federal support for institutions providing such care.
Justice William Wood III wrote that “We conclude that the actual immediate and irreparable harm to petitioners outweighs the speculative harm CHC may face if the federal government further acts against it.”
In his dissent, Justice Brian Boatright said that this was hardly a speculative matter, but “a decision driven by the direct threat to the viability of the entire hospital.”
Here is the opinion: Boe v. Child.’s Hosp. Colo.
This is what you get when you try to please all the people all the time in the pursuit of the vote: division, exclusion, indoctrination, and stagnation. The woke volks initiativ and cancel culture Gestapo is is alive and well within Democrats both in office and at the polls and none of them have yet to be diagnosed as negative for stupid.
when is the musuem of the WHITE MEN?
Tired of the division and WASTE of MONEY!
You want a musuem of women…get someone to DONATE IT!
STOP funding far Leftist!
Wait a minute. Perhaps we are looking at this wrong. Maybe they put in a “trans” section that highlights “trans” achievements.
But there has to be context, like historical background of the “trans” person. Before he went “trans” point out the simple things like the Olympics broadcasters will describing where the athlete was born, his athletic competitions and standing in high school and or college. Then note the date of when he went “trans.” And then contrast his competitions and standings against biological women vs the men he was previously competing against.
That could be educational.
The tail is wagging the (D)emocrat (D)og:
What percentage of the US population is transgender?
About 0.95% of the nation’s adult population identifies as transgender, according to Household Pulse Survey data collected from May to September 2024. This is equivalent to approximately 2.3 million adults.
Most of the adult population (97.35%) self-identifies as cisgender. Another 1.70% do not identify as male, female, or transgender — these people may use terms like non-binary, intersex, or gender non-conforming, depending on the individual.
Once again, Turley is spending his valuable time covering THE MOST IMPORTANT STORIES of the day. As a so-called specialist in free speech protection, he COULD have covered the story of the man paid an $800,000 settlement after being jailed for a month for posting about Charlie Kirk….he COULD have covered Trump’s DOJ dismissing a case against the Broadview Protestors and absolutely being dismantled by the judge who points to their absolute blatant misconduct…..but no – the “Mike Lindell with tenure” professor has MUCH MUCH more relevant stuff to cover. Laughable.
Congress should not be micromanaging the exhibits of a museum. Also trans is part of woman”s history. Banning it is a fascist move.
“Trans” is highjacking women’s history.
Then get a trans woman museum, should be able to fit it in a one schoolroom size building, if you think they are historically relevant
Democrat men seem to fantasize about showering with girls, not just Ashley. They are sad they didn’t have that chance in school, or at the gym, and are trying to make sure future generations of men and boys have that opportunity. They rob girls and women of their safety, their dignity, and their privacy. It’s shameful.
Yet, another Democrat circus. From now on, whenever we read about these kind of things, we should play circus music in the background.
Their own, bought and paid for 2024 “autopsy” spelled it out concerning the “trans” issue.
Come On Man!! What’s wrong with the Women’s Museum having a Ru Paul’s Drag Race Wing to celebrate the DUDES that identify as women? Also, going to need a wing for the various He-She Convicts in the US who manage to get to be King (oops, I mean Queen) Kong in the Women’s Prison System! They are the real trendsetters and frontier-women that push the limits of common sense (oops, I mean expanding boundaries) for ALL WOMEN!! Ridiculous.
Democrats are DEIsts: transhumane and misogynistic, racist, etc, incorporated under the Diversity (i.e. class-disordered ideologies) umbrella. A wicked solution. #HateLovesAbortion
Got proof of that?
Transgender spectrum: homos or sims? Social?
