I’ve been wanting to go to Olympus Spa for years. Friends have raved about it. Sorry to hear of the troubles. I went to the last Michigan Womyns Music Festival. It is no longer. I have grandchildren in public schools, and I worry about indoctrination of young minds. Gender ideology has impacted our lives! Thank you for stepping up and speaking out!
Just a quick note, and Note, to underline that. Helens Dale and Joyce quite reasonably argue that transgenderism is a "civilization threatening/ending movement".
Not sure if that is hyperbole or understatement, although I, and no few others tend to the latter.
What makes transgender ideology an existential threat is that it is contrary to reality. Like it or not, we are physical creatures, and what our bodies say about us is more important than any fantasy we may have about being something we are not. It is also an existential threat because it creates confusion in society, and it is doing it right at a time when there are other bad influences in society, such as the rise of autocrats, the increasing materialism of the world, and reality-skewing demagogues like Trump.
I guess you didn't get the memo that everything Trump says is a lie. A thought comes into his head, and he blurts it out as a fact. If any action is taken in this area, it will be by one of his subordinates. Besides, states have more control over this issue than the federal government has.
And it's the Feds who are responsible for Title IX. And for Rachel Levine. And for transwomen — AKA male transvestites if they still have their nuts attached and sexless eunuchs if they don't — in the military AS women.
I know the organizers have obtained a few videos of the disruptors but don't know if they plan on posting them. I think they're interested in receiving additional videos, so perhaps, they will.
Great work, keep it up. Gender ideology was the sleeper issue in the election and we can all thank DJT for using the line 'Kamala is for They/Them, President Trump is for you'. It deeply resonated with normies all over the western world.
The trans advocacy group, SGN, posted this note asking people to show up and protest, which they did. The article includes the letter they sent to the Library asking them not to host the event. https://www.sgn.org/story.php?ch=news&sc=seattle&id=336505
Totally agree. I attended this event and was amazed that the only press there was the Lynnwood Times, which I believe did not publish anything about it. Great speech, Carol. And, everyone should hear Elle Palmer’s account of transitioning and detransitioning. So heartbreaking and so brave of her to share her story publicly for the first time.
Gender ideology is Progressivism which also imposed the DEI religion that has brought similar destruction. We are in this shit show because of Leftists. Look what Leftists have done to inner cities and black families. They go about congratulating each other for their compassion while never ever reflecting on how they have caused destruction.
I was present at the WDI event. Thanks to all who showed up to support women and girls--speakers and attendees. I was happy to see so many people attending on a Sunday night in very blue Seattle! I have been sharing my video of the harassment of the people exiting the parking garage, hoping the reality of this fight will be more evident if I share my own experience, rather than a video from some random website.
Hi Page, Have you shared your video with the organizers? Can you possibly send it to me (and I'll share with them) via email: caroldansereau@substack.com If not, no worries. Carol
You are an angel for the work that you are doing. As an old man, I do my part, but the most I can do is send emails and write articles on the internet.
Excellent. Here are a few of my favorite things you said:
"Gender Ideology is not a minor side show. It is one of the central issues of our day and cannot be ignored."
“Women are told that the naked man next to us in the spa is a woman, as is the guy holding the sports trophy that should be ours.”
“…persuading us to deny reality, chant absurdities, and applaud atrocities.”
"So, join the Resistance! Together we can and we must end the regressive, civil-rights-eviscerating, child-maiming, sexist, homophobic, democracy-destroying nightmare of Gender Ideology."

"Gender Ideology is Not A Side Show"
Amen to that. You go, girls!! 👍😉🙂

👍 I was more or less on-board with most of your argument, at least until your last phrase ... 😉🙂
No doubt he is something of a demagogue with clay feet. But I think this covers a multitude of "sins":
"Trump says he will target medical staff offering care to trans children if re-elected"

🙄 Everything?
And it's the Feds who are responsible for Title IX. And for Rachel Levine. And for transwomen — AKA male transvestites if they still have their nuts attached and sexless eunuchs if they don't — in the military AS women.
True, I wasn't saying that the federal government isn't part of it.
👍🙂 So I guess it's not entirely true that "everything Trump says is a lie"? 😉🙂

Great speech, Carol!
Great speech and event, Carol!
I couldn't help but notice that it was totally ignored by local media, even the protests outside were ignored.
Had it been another type of event, the media would have covered the protesters outside.
No press coverage but there was a discussion about it on the r/Seattle subreddit, https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/1guedh9/what_was_going_on_at_the_library_last_night/

Yes, The Stranger posted something before the event:

Yes, everyone needs to join the resistance now!
Thanks!
Any idea whether there's video of the troons who were trying to disrupt things?
Thank you for speaking up! I am in California and feel strongly that ALL women everywhere need to speak up!
