'Women's Bill of Rights' Introduced to Counter Transgender Ideology

Carrie Sheffield, senior policy analyst at the Independent Women's Forum, said her organization has had to introduce a Women's Bill of Rights, which defines what a woman is, in response to transgender ideology and a larger Marxist agenda that aims to destroy Western culture.

The Women's Bill of Rights was necessary because basic scientific truths are under attack, said Sheffield, pointing to when the recently appointed Supreme Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson would not define the word "Woman."

"The definition of what it means to be a woman is under attack, the definition of what it means to be a mother is under attack, in terms of the protections for women and girls that we have been fighting for," said Sheffield.

The transgender issue is bringing conservatives and some on the left together, said Sheffield, with the progressive Women's Liberation Front working with Sheffield's conservative Independent Women's Forum.

Because transgender male prison inmates are allowed to self-identify as women and have carried out assaults, Sheffield said, "We see this as an assault on the basic safety and the civil rights of biological women to have places where we are protected, where we have equal protection under the law where civil rights were not violated."

Democrats in Congress led by Chairwoman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform Rep. Carolyn Maloney are once again pushing to change the Constitution and add the Equal Rights Amendment that they say would ensure women's rights.

Conservatives like Sheffield say the move will harm biological women and create unfairness in areas including sports and reproduction, giving transgender males an advantage.
