Equality for All Act: Take Action

On December 5, representatives of WDI USA and other women stood outside the René C. Davidson courthouse in Oakland California in solidarity with lesbians and incarcerated women. This was the day that the insanity phase of The People v. Dana Rivers trial began.

Dana Rivers is a man who brutally murdered a lesbian couple and their son before setting fire to their home in order to hide the evidence. He was convicted in November of three counts of murder in the first degree and one count of arson. The outcome of the insanity and sentencing proceedings are not yet known. If he is not found insane he will almost certainly be sent to a women’s prison, in accordance with California law.

After our demonstration, we were violently attacked by men who think it’s appropriate to house a murderer of lesbians in a women’s prison. You can watch a video of the attack here: https://www.theepochtimes.com/transgender-activists-attack-feminists-protesting-men-in-womens-prisons_4908058.html

The proposed federal legislation called the ‘Equality Act’ would redefine sex to include “gender identity” throughout U.S. civil rights law, including in all places of public accommodation. This would undermine the existing civil rights of women by conflating sex with the completely subjective notion of ‘gender identity.’

WDI USA has written a much better bill, which we call the Equality for All Act (EFAA). If enacted, it would protect women on the basis of sex; protect lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals on the basis of sexual orientation; and protect everyone on the basis of nonconformity to sex stereotypes.
