During a recent episode of the left-leaning show &#8220;Democracy Now!&#8221; with co-host Amy Goodman, ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio, who identifies as a man despite being biologically female, criticized President Trump&#8217;s executive orders. In a clear example of how transgender activists use ambiguous language to obscure reality, Strangio referred to biological women as &#8220;non-transgender women.&#8221; He claimed that one executive order would effectively exclude transgender individuals from certain shelter systems by suggesting they pose an inherent threat to these &#8220;non-transgender women.&#8221; Conservative journalist Collin Rugg shared Strangio&#8217;s remarks on social media. Rugg noted the absurdity of the situation, pointing out that Strangio&#8217;s high-pitched voice did not resemble that of a man at all. He remarked that it took him several views to fully comprehend what was being said. The irony in Strangio\u2019s terminology is significant; by distinguishing between \u201ctransgender\u201d and \u201cnon-transgender\u201d women, he inadvertently acknowledges that the term \u201cwomen\u201d cannot stand alone under transgender ideology\u2014it requires qualifiers like \u201ctransgender.\u201d This undermines the word\u2019s meaning entirely; if people cannot understand &#8220;women&#8221; without additional context, then those qualifiers fail to convey its essence. Thus, in attempting to redefine gender categories through convoluted language, they ultimately diminish the clarity and significance of what it means to be a woman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2394468,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Strangio.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[5196,4742,25279,42544,32276],"class_list":["post-2394467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-aclu","tag-lawyer","tag-terminology","tag-transgender-issues","tag-womens-rights"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Strangio.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2394467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2394467"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2394467\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2394471,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2394467\/revisions\/2394471"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2394468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2394467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2394467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2394467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
