Democrats appease ‘progressive’ trans activists — and surrender women’s safety
The left’s continued pursuit of so-called “social justice” has now taken an interesting turn: It has led to an all-out war on women. It has done so with an agenda so detached from reality that it threatens to undermine the very foundation of what womanhood even means.
Last week, the lunacy of gender ideology hit a new low when over two dozen radical trans activists stormed a women’s restroom in the US Capitol. The stunt was meant to protest my efforts to protect women’s private spaces. Among those arrested was Chelsea Manning — a biological male who made headlines for leaking classified military secrets.
These activists were not out to just disrupt the legislative process; they were making a public spectacle out of putting men in women’s bathrooms so as to intimidate women and make a political statement.
This isn’t progress — it’s an assault on the dignity, privacy and safety of women.
The entire transgender movement collapses under one simple question: What is a woman? And absolutely no one on the left can seem to define what a woman is with any sense of reality. Being a woman isn’t an abstract concept. It’s not a feeling, or a checkbox on a form.
It’s real. It’s biological. It’s science.
The truth is, the Democratic Party can’t be the party of women when it is constantly selling us out to placate the loudest, most extreme and most violent voices in its ranks. Progressive campaigns, when grounded in reality and aimed at addressing real injustices, has been some of the greatest forces for good in history. The women’s suffrage movement, the fight to end segregation, and the civil rights movement proved what sincere activists can achieve when their work is rooted in truth and common sense.
But in 2024, the left’s relentless push for so-called “progress” has gone off the rails. It’s been hijacked by a radical egalitarianism that rejects biology, science and basic truth, tearing apart societal norms and insisting that a man can become a woman just by saying it.
This isn’t progress — it’s a dangerous rejection of reality threatening everything women have fought for.
In their pursuit of endless change, everything is up for grabs — as evidenced by their quest to conquer women’s restrooms, changing rooms and locker rooms. Tomorrow, who knows what they’ll push?
It’s not progress to erase women. It’s not equality to make women less safe.
And it’s certainly not feminism to force women to take a back seat to mentally ill men. Real advocacy for women is about action to protect them from real harm, not virtue-signaling. It’s about ensuring every woman has access to the tools and protections she needs to live, work, and attain the American Dream.
It’s about addressing the real challenges women face — not redefining what a woman is. Advocating for women means fighting for access to contraception, ensuring couples struggling with infertility can afford IVF, and eliminating the rape kit backlog so survivors aren’t left waiting years for justice.
It means safeguarding the privacy and safety of women in restrooms, locker rooms, prisons and shelters. It means guaranteeing women’s constitutional rights under Article IV, giving them equal protection under the law. But Democrats don’t care about these issues.
Instead, they care about prioritizing policies that blur the lines between the sexes and force women to compete with biological men in sports, share their private spaces and forfeit their opportunities. They’re unapologetically erasing women right in front of us. These aren’t abstract fears. They’re happening in real time, and women are losing out because of it. If it were up to the left, women would have nowhere to go.
Not long ago I told you about the most beautiful car I’ve ever driven, the 2024 Bentley Continental GTC convertible coupe. I easily fell in love with its simple proportions, effortless drive and surprising power under foot.
Inside, the yacht-like blonde wood and cream leather upholstery were set apart by nautical switchgear and gloss black trim, all adding up to a most eye-pleasing experience. While the 2025 model sports an updated powertrain and some new design details, it’s completely possible to outfit it similarly to the 2024 model, with the same interior colors, accents and paint; Bentley offers buyers more than 4 million ways to spec out its cars.
The headlights on the last model were truly an outlier, and also a rock star: crystals surround the lights to create glowy, glittery effect. In the 2025 model, Bentley took the idea further and also, modernized it: A linear stack of LED cubes are offset by glowing lower crystal accents and a winky “eyebrow” daytime light. The effect adds animation and charm to the Continental’s face.
The new headlights frame the face of the 2025 Bentley Continental, priced from $302,000 for the coupe and $332,000 for the convertible—before options. For 2025, Bentley’s designers modernized the front grille just a bit, adding mesh but keeping its pronounced shape as well as its side and lower air intake grilles.
The crystal accents continue on the rear with new horizontally-elongated teardrop-shaped tail lights. The new lights have a more pronounced crystal-cut look to them and fit framelessly into the Continental’s body, tucking into the car’s boot on either side.
