NextImg:Sad but true: Women need a Women's Bill of Rights

Gov. Kevin Stitt (R- OK ) signed the "Women's Bill of Rights" on Tuesday. The executive order doesn't create special privileges for women; instead, it provides very clear, basic definitions of male and female and how they apply to state law .

It's incredible that such a thing would be needed in the first place.

JACK SMITH'S DANGEROUS CRIMINALIZATION OF DISSENT

"There are definitional, practical, and material differences between the sexes that have implications for our law in Oklahoma," the order's text reads. "To settle the unfounded confusion, surrounding such basic questions as 'What is a woman?', this Order is intended to provide clarity, certainty and uniformity to administrative actions and rules."

Further on, the text discusses the importance of maintaining single-sex spaces in prisons and school locker rooms and restrooms. Clearly, these are situations in which allowing biological men into women-only spaces is not only wrong but downright dangerous.

In response to the signing, a women's group known as We Are Rising denounced the order, stating it is "nothing more than a distraction to the real work that needs to happen to make Oklahoma a safer and healthier place for women." It is truly ironic that a women's group would be against such a pro-woman message. And if they're looking to make Oklahoma "a safer place for women," this is a terrific start.

An LGBT advocacy group known as Freedom Oklahoma ended up making the case for the governor. In a press release, the group's executive director said the order "is a thinly veiled attack on codifying discrimination against transgender women." But transgender women are not in fact biological women. The order is unashamed to make that case.

The focus on famous figures such as Dylan Mulvaney can make it seem as though transgender militancy is a distant thing that doesn't affect regular people going about their lives. But this is not true.

Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer, was relatively unknown until she spoke up about transgender swimmer Lia Thomas . Thomas's move from the men's team to the women's team created an unfair advantage for the strong 6-foot-1-inch athlete. As a result, Thomas ended up winning the NCAA Division 1 national championship in the women's 500-yard freestyle. Later, Thomas was also nominated for the 2022 NCAA Woman of the Year Award.

Riley Gaines is now a familiar voice for women all across the country as she speaks out against a transgender ideology that encroaches on spaces that should be reserved for women alone. The issue is not just for NCAA athletes. It applies to women using public restrooms, gym locker rooms, and other spaces that have always been separated based on biology.

Gaines appeared with Stitt on Fox News in support of the Women's Bill of Rights. And online, Gaines was quick to condemn the reaction to the Oklahoma legislation that said definitions of male and female are "narrow."

Even relatively recently, there was no need for the kind of legal clarification seen in the Oklahoma order. In the early 20th century, first-wave feminism fought for basic equal rights, such as voting. Now, according to leftist ideology, gender equality means any man can become a woman if he chooses. And considering the popularity of such causes, there is a real need to fight back against this. Stitt's executive order boldly does so by unequivocally defining a human man and a human woman.

Upholding and defending biology is now viewed by some as outright bigotry. And unfortunately, women are the ones caught in the crossfire. We deserve protection.
