If you've been supporting organizations like the Women's Sports Foundation, you'd better read Women's Liberation Front's Open Letter to Legacy Organizations That Lost Their Way
It's so incredibly sad that these supposed women's/feminist organisations literally stayed deafeningly silent at one point and then when they did decide to speak on this ideology, it was to betray women by pledging total allegiance to the cult of trans ideology.
Shameful. Smh.
The saddest thing is when women betray women and girls in this era by handing us over to be erased and our roles to be usurped and replaced by boys and men. That's the worst betrayal. 'Et tu, Brute?'
I’ve seen firsthand how prioritizing gender identity over sex in healthcare undermines patient safety and accuracy. In my MyChart account at Providence Health & Services, Oregon & S.W. Washington, my biological sex — an objective, medically relevant fact — is now buried or hidden. It used to appear on my "personal information" page as "sex assigned at birth." I protested this error in my medical record for reasons I probably don't need to explain here. Providence stonewalled me. Most recently, when I checked MyChart again to see whether pressure from the Trump administration had forced changes, I was astonished to find that the demographic category of "sex" was no longer included in my personal information. I could not find it anywhere. I am on a quest to get them to tell me where it is so I can see it.
Also, MyChart prominently displays a “gender identity” field I never requested. Worse, while Providence offers a lavish menu of the usual outlandish genders, it does not let sex realist dissidents like me select "none." It isn't that Providence does not know how to do that; "none" is one of the options patients can select under the category of religion. It just suits the gender ideologues to give every single Providence patient a gender identity whether or not they know what that is or would object if they knew.
This isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a systemic shift that risks distorting my medical record. My providers need to know my sex for screening recommendations, lab value interpretation, medication dosing, and emergency care. Forcing a gender identity label onto my chart while obscuring my sex sends the message that personal identity claims are more important than biological reality. It also means anyone reviewing my chart could make dangerous assumptions about my anatomy, reproductive history, or risk profile. This isn’t inclusive — it’s reckless.
This exactly. The primacy of gender ideology over material, scientific reality is absolutely causing harm to every single person in our society. When mealy mouthed whingers ask how "trans people" are harming me, it's this. It's not "trans people." They are the cannon fodder of a dangerous anti-reality, top-down ideology that has been imposed on our society. I say imposed because most people can see that it doesn't make sense, everything about it is a lie, and no one would believe it without coercion
That is insane. Actually insane. How is this not malpractice on the most fundamental, basic, bedrock level? I would be so interested to know if somewhere in a hidden field, your provider has a male/female field that they can see—because they do know what sex you are after all—or whether they truly have removed this information from your medical records. Either way, it seems like glaring medical malpractice to me. How on earth could they defend either scenario?
I took my 90-yr-old, wheelchair bound mother to a medical appointment today at our Baptist Hospital. There was no male/female "sex" question, but the question "Gender Assigned at Birth" was on the form.
That's gone from bad to worse. That sort of thing has no place in a medical record because there's no science behind it. It is pure activist-driven ideology. I hope that becomes a casualty in Trump's war on gender ideology, but I am not holding my breath. Trump is notoriously bad at follow through. For that he uses culture warriors like Stephen Miller. I do not know who in his administration is charged with overseeing the implementation of his executive orders aimed at gender ideology. I hope they have a passion for the mission and the funding and other support to see it through to completion.
The Wolf letter is powerful and thank you for reprinting it. How the mainstream media and so many so called women’s organizations can continue to fail to support women and instead cave to the demands of the radical transgender loudmouths is too much like so many institutions we once believed in caving to trump, and they are all cowards and know better but refuse to DO better. I hope I will have the chance to insist to any democrat running for office that he or she disavow the complete non science that tries to rewrite reality, just like trump is doing and stand up for women, not pretenders.
DIAG -- Democrats for An Informed Approach to Gender -- has been trying to wake Democrats up and pull them back from the brink. We believe that the Democratic Party has betrayed women in this regard and that unless it changes course, Dems will keep losing and losing and losing.
They already lost a substantial chunk of the female vote to the GOP in the last election. This is ominous. I believe they helped put Trump in office.

“Radical refers to going back to the roots of feminism rather than meaning extreme.” Ah. Each time I see this descriptor I get a jolt of “huh?” So that’s a helpful explanation. But I wonder. Personally, I don’t care to be a radical anything, just as I never thought believing women’s social, political, and economic equality under the law was radical, but I get the point. I’ve been out of the loop with all of these formerly women’s groups since the early aughts due to increasingly weird ideological litmus tests like “sex work is work” and other patently absurd takes on reality—most stunningly represented by the descent into ‘trans’—and whatever “wave” of feminism we were supposedly on. Gah. I could see from shore that whatever wave it was, it was a shi* one, a massive bummer of a closeout, a full-of-medical waste and rats garbage wave. Today it’s like returning home after a long weekend to discover your neighbor’s uncle’s cousins have set up a fentanyl lab in the basement and a chop shop in the garage with NAMBLA and the Albanian mafia, doing business as “Eleanor Roosevelt and Marian Anderson Present: Girl Scouts of America Be Pimpin’ It! Saudi Edition”. Or something.
Have restacked this whole post plus several excerpts. Well done, Sarah.
I remember reading WoLF's letter when it first appeared on their site. Though I still think it could use some editing, I'm glad to see you promoting it here.
Sarah’s observation about legacy organizations sparks a call for new leadership. My letters are a humble attempt to challenge and innovate—let’s reshape women’s advocacy, together.
Modern feminism was incubated by the same bat-shit crazy minds which created “ gender ideology” and all the other divisive “critical theories”, so it's inevitable that “feminism” will fail in its (supposed) remit to advocate for women & girls
I always get nervous when people talk about feminism, particularly when they're blaming it for gender ideology. I agree with Lauren Bone—if feminism does not center women then it's lost the plot. I am an old school 1970 feminist who thinks women can pursue whatever career (or not) they like, dress how they will, express their sexuality in a million different ways and they're still women. Biology is the thing that binds us together. When people started talking about intersectional feminism as if some women weren't already included (see that stupid word inclusive?) things stated going wonky. And men who identified as women started demanding to be included as a different kind of woman. The whole intersectionality thing branched off (and was very well funded) into Genderland. But feminists who center women, who believe the word woman is a biological term that includes ALL women, is still in existence. Like WoLF, they're small and getting by on bake sales while legacy orgs get tons of $$$ for womanwashing support of porn, sex-work-is-work, reproductive rights, and only women who accept men as women. Because all of those things actually benefit men. All of which is to say, I don't think feminismis batshit crazy but when one aspect of it is perverted, it sure cane go bad
I was a staunch little feminist in the seventies as a child All I wanted was to be equal before the law and to have the same opportunities as my brother, who seemed to have a future which burst with opportunities which did not seem accessible to me. Modern 3rd wave feminism seems to undermine the interests of biological women & girls. Their actions also undermine society in general . By supporting Trans women ( men with a fetish) they don't support all Men , they support predatory men.
I’ ve never heard the definition either, but the term gets a lot of attention. As far as I can tell it's a very radical form of feminism which is part of the postmodernist movement which aims to disrupt all aspects of society . I am not a social scientist so I could be wrong
But, to be fair, a lot of the garbage at the foundations of this postmodernist horseshit came from this side of the Atlantic Ocean, so it's only fair that the detritus washes back to our shores..
It’s terrible - and imagine that you are Gay or Lesbian organizations are advocating sterilizing and mutilating adolescent Lesbians and Gays. I wish we had a Wolf.

Horrific and passive aggressively coercive.

So, kind of off.

I've never heard a definition of third wave feminism. If it centers men, then yes, it's lost the plot
I’ ve never heard the definition either, but the term gets a lot of attention. As far as I can tell it's a very radical form of feminism which is part of the postmodernist movement which aims to disrupt all aspects of society . I am not a social scientist so I could be wrong
Academe has indeed given us a lot of horseshit that has now spread all over the country.
But, to be fair, a lot of the garbage at the foundations of this postmodernist horseshit came from this side of the Atlantic Ocean, so it's only fair that the detritus washes back to our shores..
Ha! Poetic justice, I guess.
😅 agreed. But younger generations on either side of the Atlantic Ocean did not deserve this
It's gone beyond your borders… it's gone global.
Sadly almost ALL legacy organization have lost their way
It’s terrible - and imagine that you are Gay or Lesbian organizations are advocating sterilizing and mutilating adolescent Lesbians and Gays. I wish we had a Wolf.
This is GREAT. A similar statement needs to be directed to HRC, GLAAD, etc.
