HR 5: A Dangerous Assault on Women

CFP: WASHINGTON, D.C. – Members of the U.S. House have introduced H.R. 5, known as the so-called “Equality Act,” which is an assault on women and girls’ safety, privacy, and athletic endeavors.

The legislation is being pushed largely by the Human Rights Campaign, the nation’s leading LGBT activist organization. This bill amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other federal laws by striking the word “sex,” and inserting “sex, sexual orientation, gender identity” as protected classes throughout the federal code. This amendment erases any sex-based protections for women.

.

Immutable biological differences and unique attributes between sexes will become illusory because birth sex is irrelevant under HR 5. Therefore, women and girls face increased risk of harassment and violence by predatory males who will use gender identity to invade their private spaces. Biological men who subjectively assert they “identify as a woman” will be able to use women’s restrooms, dressing rooms, locker rooms and showers. Men will be legally allowed to bunk with women on overnight stays at church, mission, or school events and at domestic abuse shelters or in prison cells.

The gender identity provisions of HR 5 will forbid the law to see sex while legitimizing sex stereotypes and will make women and girls increased targets for rapists, pedophiles and voyeurs in all 50 states

For example, recently in a Palm Springs, California swim center, three teenage female water polo players were traumatized by encountering a naked man showering in the women’s locker room. They reported this to the police, who did nothing, because the man “identifies as a woman.” According to the report, coaches confronted the person, who told them he was in the locker room because he identified as female.

One of the girl’s mother said, “They were mortified, scared, and traumatized quite honestly. I think this individual is a predator and found a loophole in the law with transgender issues.”

Liberty Counsel has an extensive collection of articles and resources illustrating the danger of dual-sex restrooms, fitting rooms and shower facilities here.

Women’s rights and historic gains made by women in athletic competition will be also be negatively affected because men will be able to legally be recognized and treated as “women.”

Title IX was created in order to ensure that women had access to equal opportunities as men, including in sports. Now that is threatened as HR 5 ignores the biological differences between males and females and erases the unique talents and achievements of girls and women. Allowing biological males who self-identify as “women” to compete against biological females, put women at a disadvantage and can cost female athletes the titles, records, and scholarships that are rightfully theirs and can even lead to serious sports-related injuries. Some examples are:

Mack Beggs, 17, was born a girl and reportedly began identifying as a boy at the age of three. Though Beggs underwent testosterone treatments for more than a year and had the muscle mass of a teenage boy, Beggs competed and took first place in the University Interscholastic League state girls’ championship on Feb. 25, 2016.

MMA fighter Fallon Fox, a biological man, gave his female opponent a concussion and broke her eye socket in 2015. The woman, Tamikka Brents, suffered a damaged orbital bone and needed seven staples after she fought Fox.  more

  1. …I stand at the door of any public restroom my wife enters, and will not suffer an obvious man to pass while she is within.

    No law is going to change that.

  2. This is a bad idea for many reasons, but a necessary step in the destruction and fall of Western civilization to make way for the coming nationless one world government, economic, and religious system.

  3. “Winston, if the party says I can fly, I can fly.”

    “Winston, sometimes 2+2 is 4 and sometimes it’s 5 or 6 and sometimes it’s all at the same time.”

    To paraphrase Hitchens: 1984 is a cautionary tale but it seems the Democrats have read it and have decided it’s an instruction manual.

  4. A daily bombardment by fringe lunatics to upend society. This is a disease of affluence from spoiled and lazy people that never experienced the harsher times that life can bring.
    They exist in a country that they do not understand or deserve.

  5. This article is an intentional understatement of how threatening this potential act is. It is a direct act designed to completely strip away the right of religious freedom by making every form of sexual perversity a legalized right that must be accepted AND practiced by all. This article is an effort to divert awareness away from the factual truth.

    Citing “Equality” Act, Black Pastor Warns That Congressional Black Caucus and NAACP Are “More Dangerous Than KKK”
    ““The Equality Act poses a direct threat to religious freedom and the dignity of Blacks and women by blending the immutability of sex and race with radical LGBTQ theories,” the Gone 2 Far Movement and Pastor Stephen Broden, another Black leader, said in a recent press release.'”

    Note: An unneutered male tranny is armed with his own genitalia weapon that can be forcibly used against an unwilling female. So should never be allowed in female only areas. If gun owners can be deemed mentally unfit to own guns, so should males be also considered unfit to be allowed in female activities. Gender Derangement Syndrome is an obvious mental and dangerous disorder,

  6. “I think this individual is a predator and found a loophole”

    No, Mom, the naked guy in the locker room with your teenager daughter did not find a “loophole”. It’s not a loophole, the law is working exactly as intended. If you make excuses for it by saying it’s a loophole, you must be a Democrat.

  8. MUCH of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is unconstitutional anyway. Just junk it all except prohibition of gov’t discriminating based color & sex except for combat for women.

  9. Sarcasm commentary:
    “MUCH of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is unconstitutional anyway.”
    Just an indicator of how very long the Communist traitors in US Congress have been legislating against the Constitution. Of course, they won’t “junk” any law that they have made, or are making to eliminate rights of Americans. Not ever willingly. Enslavement of the people has always been the Communists’ goal wherever they take power. It is never “equal” power, but master-slave run government. Degeneracy of society is a major controlling agenda of Communists. This has been working in the USA quite well, so now to enforce it by threat of prosecution will become reality. Communism doesn’t back off, always goes forward. Just as it did in Russia where they genocided 60 millions to eliminate any opposition. In the later Soviet years, dissenters were sent to the Siberian gulags to suffer for their “crimes” of just speaking out. Get that? Just speaking the truth–like NOW in the USA.
