This bill aims to create a safe space for women and define what it means to be a woman.<\/p>\n<h3>Defining What a Woman Is<\/h3>\n<p>Gaines spoke to members of Congress about the importance of defining what a woman is. &#8220;The public knows what a woman is, and it&#8217;s time our laws did, too,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Defining what a woman is &#8211; it shouldn&#8217;t be political.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gaines testified before the House Homeland Security Committee Hearing on Left-Wing Organized Violence about the trauma she and other athletes suffered by being exposed to male genitalia during the NCAA championships while sharing a locker room with a transgender swimmer. She also advocates for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-signs-bills-combatting-chinese-communist-partys-influence-in-us\/\" title=\"DeSantis Signs Bills Combatting Chinese Communist Party\u2019s Influence In US\">banning biological men<\/a> from women&#8217;s sports.<\/p>\n<h3>Protecting Women&#8217;s Most Private and Vulnerable Spaces<\/h3>\n<p>Gaines believes that the Women&#8217;s Bill of Rights will help protect women&#8217;s most private and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/riley-gaines-swimming-against-mediocre-male-inspired-fight-for-womens-rights\/\" title=\"Riley Gaines fights for women's rights after swimming against mediocre men.\">vulnerable spaces<\/a>. &#8220;What this bill does, it simply defines the word woman, codifies the term,&#8221; she said. &#8220;What longevity does [the Save Women&#8217;s Sports Act] have if we can&#8217;t define the word woman? And that&#8217;s what this does; it gives longevity to bills such as the [Save Women&#8217;s Sports Act].&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Members of Congress Speak Out<\/h3>\n<p>Members of Congress who authored the bill explained why this legislation is important to them. &#8220;The Left has succumbed to wokeism,&#8221; Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) said. &#8220;It&#8217;s destroying our schools, it&#8217;s destroying our children, and it&#8217;s destroying our workplace. Woke culture tells you biology doesn&#8217;t matter, that science is wrong. There&#8217;s no difference between a man and a woman. And we all know that&#8217;s an absolute lie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) spoke about his disappointment in Democrats who voted against the Save Women&#8217;s Sports Act. He added history will look back on the need for the Women&#8217;s Bill of Rights. &#8220;We work towards freedom,&#8221; Owens said, &#8220;whatever it takes. This is going to be a period of time to look back on, to look back on history and realize, as we show our country, what courage looks like and what bullies and cowards look like.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Joining the Fight for Women&#8217;s Rights<\/h3>\n<p>The Women&#8217;s Bill of Rights is an important step towards protecting women&#8217;s rights and creating a safe space for women. Join the fight for women&#8217;s rights and support this bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Collegiate swimmer-turned-activist Riley Gaines and the Independent Women\u2019s Forum are teaming up with Congress to introduce the Women\u2019s Bill of Rights.
