Hi, thank you so much for writing this. I am one of the people out there collecting signatures. I am no one special, and I am completely new to gathering signatures. I’ve been doing it basically on my own or with a couple friends... we’ve just gone out in front of a store or at a farmers market, book clubs, parents groups, political events like get out the vote efforts which are heating up now with the primary coming up... the response has been very positive!!! The hardest thing is to get people to listen to you for a second so they understand what side of the issue you’re on and if you can do that, most want to sign! I’ve had people be sad because they can’t sign because they’re not legally citizens, or don’t live in the state. Seriously!!! The three things this proposition would do are all popular even among Democrats. That is what polling shows and that is clearly the case when you start talking to people in the street. People are sick of the gender nonsense, and are excited about having a chance to actually do something about it! That said, gathering signatures is a slow process and we need a lot of them... so every single signature and every dollar counts tremendously. Please help us fight in any way you can. Thank you!!!!
I am another liberal California mom. My family has been in California for generations. I've been involved in political activism since I marched as a child in San Francisco against the Vietnam War.
I was a part of all the hard work the women of California did in my lifetime to bring women's rights into mainstream acceptance.
Now all of it has been erased overnight by a handful of black-hearted (mostly conservative) men invested in the medical/pharmaceutical industry and their young, ignorant wokester handservants.
When Rowling said, "This is the most misogynist era I've ever seen," I thought she was crazy. But (as with so many things) she was right. She was absolutely right.
I don't live in California anymore, so I can't collect signatures in person. I can only forward the proposition to friends. It feels like so little. It feels like nothing.
Thank you, WalkingMom, for being out there pounding the sidewalks for us all. We are forever in your debt.
This is fantastic and hopeful. We can NEVER give up fighting this. Those sneaky bastards changed everything behind people backs.... what's snakes and how terribly evil, a villain of the worst kind.
What can we do from overseas? I wish this wpuld start here IN Australia. oh And i HATE D.I.E...... they could drag it out to say "DIE Democratic and free world, we are now forcing socialism on you all and you'll he happy with nothing and you will give up your freedom and your children and your rights!!!!"
Thanks for writing! A bit off topic but I suspect most people (myself included) can't spend $200 for a dinner for two. Even half of that is a bit extravagant.
I will see how this develops ... I may contribute.
However, this is California where liberals and Democrats reign supreme. My belief is it that most folks who call themselves Democrats and unaffiliateds who lean or are liberals are common sense people who take for granted that boys are boys, girls are girls, men are men, and women are women ... they don't follow the transgender issue that closely but still hold essentially a traditional view of what sex means.
So, in order for this effort to succeed in getting signatures and to win an election in California this cannot be allowed to become a Biden v. Trump proxy battle. If this campaign becomes a vehicle only for religious conservatives, then it is not going to accomplish much, either.
In California it seems to me that persuading those who value science, reason, Second Wave feminism, women's rights, family privacy, etc. is going to be the difference.
In Washington state I found a lot of immigrants are very ready to sign the parental rights petitions. It's clear to them this ideology is very off. However, some are not registered to vote. Its already a Biden vs Trump proxy battle. I read liberals commenting on social media saying, "this is not our battle, stick to your doobie" Yes. Doobie. I actually saw doobie last night.
I have been involved with some of the signature collecting. Strategically we focus on events where we expect supporters, which would include religious conservatives, but last Sunday Erin Friday, Billboard Chris, Chloe Cole and others were gathering signatures at the 49ers game. They reported 99% support of their efforts -- in San Francisco! I honestly think a much bigger majority of "regular Californians" support this, even outside of religious and conservative.
A close friend who is VERY big in SF leftist politics (she's been a well-known figure for over 25 years) says her teenager daughter and her friends in high school are all aware of the dangers of transgenderism.
I've sent her tons of information, after I once saw her preferred pronouns in her work email signature a few years ago. Those pronouns are gone now, I still share information all the time, and our friendship is stronger than ever.
San Francisco is turning faster than California is.
I hope you are right. Our son, who is captured in the trans craze, lives in downtown SF. He is a young adult and on his own. We feared it will only get worse for him being in the belly of the beast. Any cultural changes to sanity are welcome. Even if it is too late for him we hope others will be spared the destruction this has brought.
My friend has thanked me for doing all this research and teaching her about all this. She didn't know.
People just don't know.
But I'm seeing parents with younger teens say that the backlash has started, that those younger kids reject the transgenderist "conformity" of their elders.
I agree that most people think this is absurd and horrible for children. I was asked today if kids at school are taught about they/them pronouns in kindergarten and I said yes! They were appalled and she is a Democrat, leaning now towards Republican. I think this is going to change the political landscape slowly, but surely.
please contribute. It will only work if we all unite in the cause. Plenty of democrats support. The media will spin it as political, it will be up to you and others to ignore that polarization.
My friend Ben Scallan, (Gript) from Ireland just interviewed Elon a few days ago. I was not aware he was in the battle. I know my friend is very much against all of the gender nonsense and just had a baby so...
"The teenager is changing her full name from Xavier Alexander Musk to Vivian Jenna Wilson, taking her mother’s last name, because “she wants to be recognized as female,” TMZ reported."
and
"Musk’s ex-wife, Justine Wilson, has revealed that she’s “proud” of Vivian’s name change."
"We are simultaneously being told that gender differences do not exist and that genders are so profoundly different that irreversible surgery is the only option," the mogul said.
"“Diversity, equity and inclusion are propaganda words for racism, sexism, and other -isms,” is what Elon Musk posted to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. “This is just as morally wrong as any other racism and sexism. Changing the target class doesn’t make it right!”"
Musk has also said that "Cisgender" is a slur - although all the sites I find reporting this are about how the "journalists" think he is wrong.
Well, he'd better pony up some bucks. If he can afford to fire a car into space, he can surely afford to dedicating his money to defeating the money of Trumpster James Pritzker.
It seems to me that Trannydom Ideology has broken the traditional Left/Right, Democrat/Republican divide. That fact does not affect me emotionally because I was always an Independent who liked some things from each side and disliked other stuff...
It seems to me that Far Leftist Ideologies and Rightest Corportism are in bed together. Like, the government owns the kids and nuclear families must be destroyed on the one hand, and the other hand figures they'll make profits with corporations that drug and mutilate people. There are lots of influential pervy Republican CEOs of companies who want to pretend they are women. The left supports this by saying that there is no such thing as perversion and it is really mean/unkind to say that there is. Judgement of any kind is bad. Somehow, people like JK Rowling are now on the right? If you object to any far left agenda you are a despised "conservative".
Anyway, James is not a Trumpster. For the record, I like DeSantis, despise Haley, and have voted for both Ds and Rs. I think alot of old school Republicans want to ignore any mere "social/cultural" matters and focus on profits only. Both sides loved illegal immigration for different reasons.
I hear your pain regarding what has happened to the Democrat party. I do not think either party will emerge the same.
(And, politics attracts narcissits - like at Newsom , Biden (who was an "A student in school with 3 majors and scholarships") and Bonta. I think we need to let it all go to stop the GI cult.
I grew up in a very politically active family. My parents were liberals, my grandparents were conservatives, there was a LOT of tension, and it was never forgiven on either side.
So when I became a teenager, I learned how to talk politics with my grandparents. I loved them and spent a lot of time with them, and also I wasn't going to give up my politics. I could always get us to a meeting of minds. And I was just a kid.
There is no reason on Earth why liberals and conservatives can't work things out together.
However, James Pritzker is indeed a Trumpster. He's donated to Republican Presidential candidates for decades and gave a quarter of a million dollars to Trump.
Jennifer Bilek has followed the transgenderist money back to its sources. She writes about it on https://www.the11thhourblog.com/
"The amount of money moving through corporations, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), political action committees (PACs), and governments is staggering; the number of powerful individuals involved is myriad and includes Republicans and Democrats."
The Trevor Project might even have been good once? Not now. Pharma is horrible.
"Biden administration cited research from the Trevor Project to support medical intervention for minors to change their gender. Setting aside the problems with the study itself, the AbbVie Foundation’s Form 990 from 2019, the latest year on file, shows a donation of $50,000 to the Trevor Project. So the White House cited a study produced by a nonprofit which has received thousands of dollars from companies that make drugs and medical products used in the gender transition process to argue in support of puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and sex-reassignment surgeries for children. No conflict of interest here, of course."
haha - I think we shared the same Jennifer Bilek article with each other.
"There is no reason on Earth why liberals and conservatives can't work things out together"
Let us hope so. For the record I am neither - more middle of the road - which today gets labeled "far right". You have seen the Colin Wright's cartoon?
It looks like James has given money to both sides. And, all of the Pritzkers on both sides are bad. I am not a Trump fan. I did notice that he had Bruce Jenner over to Maro Lago.
The thing is - we do not have good candidates to choose from and we do not have two good parties to choose from. If you have a way of talking the Democrat politicians out of their radical stance - pushing Gender Ideology everywhere - especially indoctrinating kids at school - putting people like Child Mutilation Enthusiast Richard/Rachael Levine in positions of authority (and look at Sam Brinton) then I am all in.
But.... here's the thing - one party has some people pushing back and holding some feet to the fire regarding Gender Ideology. All Democrat politicians are in lock step pushing it as the "Civil Rights Cause of our time". Sadly.
I think Elon Musk is an important ally and that it is a big deal that he bought Twitter and made it more of a free speech platform (instead of repressing speech against such things like the Gender Cult). We will see what else he does.
James - who calls himself "Jennifer" is a real piece of work. He is "cousin of current Illinois governor J. B. Pritzker and former US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker" (Wiki).
"Pritzker was a Republican,[25] and major donor to candidates and organizations such as the NRA, John McCain, and Mitt Romney.[26][27] However, as of 2019, she is reevaluating her support, citing the Trump Administration's transgender military ban and other anti-LGBTQ policies: "When the GOP asks me to deliver six- or seven-figure contributions for the 2020 elections, my first response will be: why should I contribute to my own destruction?”.[28][29]
In August 2020, Pritzker donated $2,000 to the presidential campaign of Joe Biden.[30]
In October 2020, Pritzker donated $100,000 to the Lincoln Project, led by Republican Strategists, some of whom endorse Joe Biden to prevent the re-election of Donald Trump.[31]
During the 3rd quarter of 2020, Pritzker was recognized as a member of the Chairman's Circle, signifying a $25,000 contribution to the Libertarian Party."
The Pritzkers really are a horror show:
"The Billionaire Family Pushing Synthetic Sex Identities (SSI)"
Poor ole James. Of course he stopped donating to Trump after Trump failed to promote his transgenderist lobby. I am laughing my head off.
Canadian Robert Quartermain is also a conservative heavily involved in financing the transgenderist lobby.
Transgenderism was first introduced in the UK by the Conservatives and in Canada under a Conservative government. But they didn't get the traction they wanted and ran up against a rising wave of liberal leaders, so they switched sides to follow those leaders.
They still donate to Republicans. There's a reason Ultra-Red Texas can pass laws to restrict a woman's right to decide what goes on inside her own body, but has failed to pass any laws to restrict the transgenderist lobby.
This lobby isn't about promoting liberal ideals. It's trampling all over them: women's rights, LGB rights, help for mental services, women's shelters, women's rehab and incarcerated women, disabled rights, and religious rights for all religions (not just Christians). Those are all liberal party policies and have been for decades.
This lobby is only about making huge money for a tiny, tiny handful of amoral men deeply invested in the medical/pharmaceutical industry.
"This lobby isn't about promoting liberal ideals." I totally agree with that. Sadly, the Democrat party is no longer about promoting liberal ideas either including speech. (Biden, CA AG Bonta, Newsom...) I agree that the establishment Republicans including Haley, Liz Cheney, etc. are just as bad. Abbot of TX is iffy on this one but I think DeSantis is amazing. Kristy Noem was originally on the Trans $$ side. I don't trust her.
"This lobby is only about making huge money for a tiny, tiny handful of amoral men deeply invested in the medical/pharmaceutical industry." I agree that it is very largely about that. But, it is also politically useful, sadly. "Trans Rights are Human Rights". These rights are defined as making everyone agree with delusion, drugs & mutilation for all with no gatekeeping, etc.
I think we agree for the most part. I just think there is lots of guilt to go around. Remember when BIden celebrated the "transition" of 8 year old girls during his last campaign?
I love the author’s passion, but as someone who grew up in N. Cal I’ve long since given up on that state being savable until it hits rock bottom. Their legislator has launched a full frontal assault on parental rights which include gender, experimental vaccines and what constitutes “hate speech” or “violence.” Meanwhile they’ve turned a blind eye to actual violence which has made formerly wonderful cities, like Oakland, uninhabitable. At the same time they’re slipping in a wealth tax that initially affects truly wealthy people...but with a $68 billion deficit...the wealth tax will be coming to your neighborhood soon! (And will follow you if you leave CA after it passes.) For me, I voted with my feet and got the heck out of there nearly 20 years ago. The vast majority of people who remain believe in most of this nonsense. I couldn’t beat them, so I abandoned the awesome weather for somewhere I felt I could actually raise my kids without a psychotic nanny state undermining every decision.
Please don't leave the rest of the citizenry behind. Not everyone is able to leave. Please donate to this worthy cause. Moms and Dads with kids in the fray are going to have to rely on the generosity of others to make this shit show end.
Interesting, as transgenderism being promoted by DIE looks like eugenics. Strong minded people are less likely to believe the lie about changing sex. The fact that there are only two sexes is such fundamental common sense knowledge. Delusional, autistic children can be persuaded to self sterilise. That is to take away the blame from adults who promote the ideology.
Some day this period will be looked upon as a great medical scandal. A mass delusion
Bandwagon bias: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwagon_effect. You are assuming that you will inevitably win even though there is evidence to the contrary.

100% every little bit counts. Thank you, Walking Mom!
Thank you. I live in GA but will donate. I support anyone and everyone fighting this evil no matter where they live.
This is fantastic and hopeful. We can NEVER give up fighting this. Those sneaky bastards changed everything behind people backs.... what's snakes and how terribly evil, a villain of the worst kind.

Have you considered approaching, Elon Musk? I believe he is also dealing with something similar.
My friend Ben Scallan, (Gript) from Ireland just interviewed Elon a few days ago. I was not aware he was in the battle. I know my friend is very much against all of the gender nonsense and just had a baby so...
Yup - Elon is in the battle all right. I am sorry for him but it is good for the rest of us that he has not been captured by the cult.

(And will follow you if you leave CA after it passes.) For me, I voted with my feet and got the heck out of there nearly 20 years ago. The vast majority of people who remain believe in most of this nonsense. I couldn’t beat them, so I abandoned the awesome weather for somewhere I felt I could actually raise my kids without a psychotic nanny state undermining every decision.
Please don't leave the rest of the citizenry behind. Not everyone is able to leave. Please donate to this worthy cause. Moms and Dads with kids in the fray are going to have to rely on the generosity of others to make this shit show end.
Where did you go and how do you like it?
BTW, folks did anybody ever notice that the acronym for diversity, inclusiveness and equity = “DIE?”
Unbelievable!
Yes. And it really stands for Discrimination, Indoctrination and Exclusion.
Interesting, as transgenderism being promoted by DIE looks like eugenics. Strong minded people are less likely to believe the lie about changing sex. The fact that there are only two sexes is such fundamental common sense knowledge. Delusional, autistic children can be persuaded to self sterilise. That is to take away the blame from adults who promote the ideology.
the the acronym for inclusivity, equity and diversity is IED (improvised explosive device)! No matter how you slice it, it is divisive and racist.
Yup. Another good explanation.
Yeah. It is.
And just BTW, I no longer use the word “gender.” I use the word sex. It’s more explicit, as the word gender has now been corrupted.
I’m in England so can’t vote but have sent your article to @pittparents & others on X
Including Jennifer Biggs, Jennifer Bilek, Genevieve Gluck & other women in England.
In case you don’t know, all the people I’ve posted to are gender critical with large followings.
Just donated-honored to be able to participate! Let’s all try to help-what happens in a big blue state like California gets worldwide attention!
Is there a link to track the progress of this?
check the website.
I live in Minnesota I just donated $100 using Pay Pal . It was quick and easy. I hope others will do the same. Go California !
