Now is the time to tell every single elected official in MA that you stand alongside Congressman Seth Moulton in supporting the integrity of female sports.
Yes! If there are any others who would like to schedule a meeting with him in his Salem office to thank him in person and to use this moment to speak to him because he will doubtless be new to the talking points, please let me know.
When constituents the time to meet them in person it really makes an impact. He knows now that women are serious about this and he is going to need support and info.
Maybe he is only politicking and is seizing on the opportunity to rise up in his dead-in-the-water party, but I will happily elevate him if we can be heard and stop the trans insanity.
I know he’s had his eye on the big prize and if he can build now to become the 2028 candidate he could actually pan out.
It takes 5 people I think to meet with a Rep or Senator.
Our loss, Elspeth. Hope your new state has more sense and has not codified "gender identity" into every law, policy and institution they possibly can. Though I know the powerful, not "the most vulnerable" as they love to call themselves, lobby are planning new horrors, as they are never satisfied.
My new state is blue….Governor Prtizer. I moved here to be closer to family. I am happy to be retired as I now have free speech and association rights!
As a public employee in New England who is shunned at work for not putting my pronouns in my email signature, I am following this closely. Will the gender zealots succeed in turning blue states into gulags where no one dares question the state religion? Live not by lies!
Protecting girls' sports should not be controversial, especially since many polls show a strong majority of the public (including majorities of Democrats) support protecting sex segregation in female sports:
January 2024 YouGov poll found 59% of voters, including a plurality of Democrats
September 2023 poll found 84% of all voters, including 75% of Democrats
May 2023 Gallup poll found 69% of voters—a seven point increase from two years prior
December 2022 Washington Post/KFF poll found 66% of voters
2022 poll looked by age and found a strong majority, including 60% of Gen Z and 65% of Millennials
2021 messaging guide on this could not find a single message that produced a different outcome
We need to stop shaming people like Congressman Seth Moulton and Natick parents for even discussing this important issue. We also need a bipartisan, common sense policy solution that preserves safety and fairness for girls in sports. Let's get a bill sponsored to make the policy below statewide:
The Dighton-Rehoboth school committee unanimously approved a policy update that allows coaches and student-athletes to choose whether to compete against teams that include athletes of the opposite sex. The policy states that no coach or student-athlete of a single-sex team shall be penalized by the District with the loss of playing time, starting status, or other penalties for forfeiting or refusing to play against a team that includes athletes of the opposite sex.
Every year in Massachusetts, female student-athletes are subjected to unfair and unsafe playing environments because they are forced to compete against male athletes.
The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) is the governing body that makes rules for school sports. Its rulebook currently requires that if there is no equivalent boys’ team in a sport, male athletes must be allowed to play on the girls’ team, with no exceptions. It also requires that males who identify as female be allowed to compete on the girls’ team. In these cases, biological females are put at an unnecessary and increased risk of injury.
Common sense tells us that girls should compete with other girls, yet the MIAA seems determined to prioritize ideology over the health of their female student-athletes.
Massachusetts is the only state to have such radical rules.
Many Democrats and Republicans are united on protecting the integrity of female sports. Please stand with Congressman Moulton and many of your constituents.
I sent him a thank you card and explained to him that I was forced by my school director and a psycho parent to socially transition a 3 year old girl when I taught in Cambridge in 2016. The reason for the transition to a boy?? “She like gymnastics and super heroes.” YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS SHIT UP!
There are many issues onwhich I don't like Seth Moulton, but.... I'm willing to use him as a stalking horse on this issue of getting men out of women's sports.
Below is a passage from the Wikipedia entry for Mass Rep. Seth Moulton. Originally, I added only the first sentence to it after the note [87].... (See below)
My addition was immediately deleted. It's outrageous that all Wikipedia information mentioning transgender people, which is referred to by millions, is supplied by, controlled by, and censored by woman-hating transgender males. How can this hate speech be legal? Overall males, men and boys, contribute roughly 97% of of the editing and posts to Wikipedia. Obviously, they have the leisure time to do this, probably while their mothers, wives or sisters are washing the dishes, doing the laundry, cooking the meals, etc. There have been many complaints regarding this overwhelming male dominance, but nothing's changed.
From Wikipedia's post on Moulton:
Following Kamala Harris's loss in the presidential election, he expressed opposition to transgender participation in girls' sports, saying that he does not want his daughters "getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete."[87]
Despite this the transgender community and it's allies swiftly retaliated against Moulton's rather mild remarks aimed at protecting his daughter's future ability to participate in sports safety on an even playing field. Several of his critics tried to force him to recind his remarks and apologize. He refused to do either citing the widespread public pressure to silence people who criticize the transgender agenda directed at intregatating biological males into women's and girl's sports.
Wikipedia continues:
Following his remarks, his campaign manager resigned in protest, his comments were condemned by Salem mayor Dominick Pangallo and he faced protest from constituents.[88] In an MSNBC interview, he refused to apologize and claimed the backlash "[proved] his point".[89]

It shows the pent up tension over gender ideology within the Dems that it took the slap of a Trump win for the NY and MA reps to speak out for girls, doesn't it? The "echo chamber" reply from the left calling him Nazi and asking him to resign is cancel culture is now predictable. Maybe he'd like to be interviewed for my book, Canceling sex: Gender ideology, Title IX, and DEI in schools and universities?
I’m in the same district. Please look up DIAG at www.di-ag.org. They have some great ideas for helping spread the word to Dems about this issue. I too will be cc’ing Jayapal on my letter to Moulton.
It would be great if he could learn about/meet Nicole Powers, the trans woman athlete who has become an advocate for sex based sports. If people meet with him, mention her.
It's important to recognize that Powers is a man, not a woman, and therefore pronouns, which match biological sex, should be used accordingly. Powers is a he. It just enables this insanity to go along with their fiction.
Also, we are not hearing much about the male San Jose volleyball player Blaire Fleming and opposition player Malaya Jones who conspired to injure teammate Brook Slusser because she opposes having a man on her team. The coach who exposed this, Melissa Batie-Smoose, was fired for filing a complaint. Instead of protecting women from injury trans identified males are plotting to injure women and girls.
Yep, nixed by the center-left media blackout on any issue that might reflect negatively on trans.
The Boston Globe & other Mass outlets are only reporting on Moulton because he's one of their own Reps and was already quoted in their sister paper the NYTimes. But reporting on it is conspicuously absent elsewhere despite its obvious newsworthiness.
Excellent, informative post. The usual responses from the trans lobby folks show such a disregard for freedom of speech, dialog and community discussion of this ideology the Democrats have enabled. Bravo to Seth for so far not backing down and apologizing under immense pressure from the Democratic machine and the powerful TQ lobby. They are frantically trying to silence him as they are scared other Democrats, who they have so far scared into compliance with their agenda, might begin to find their voice and disagree with their extreme, never ending demands and the misogynistic "gender identity."
Also, Ma4Women: Do you have a link to the Dr. Brown talk on males in female sports? Is it on you-tube? It would be good to send it to our Reps: it was excellent, full of irrefutable facts.
This seems like great news on the surface, but Moulton has gone out of his way to vote against women on these issues recently, and everyone should be going into this with healthy skepticism about his support now. It may not go anywhere.
"Moulton entered Congress in 2015 and twice co-sponsored House Democrats’ Transgender Bill of Rights, in 2022 and again in 2023, which would have guaranteed trans athletes the right to participate in sports teams matching their gender identity.
He also voted against Florida Republican Greg Staube’s Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act last year, which sought to recognize sex as “based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth.”"
Yes, all very good points. We need to be clear eyed and cautiously hope that he has actually changed his mind on at least some of these issues and will be open to learning more from “our side”.
A LOT of people have followed the herd on gender ideology because it was supposedly the "kind" thing to do and the "new civil rights movement." I'd wager every school administrator in Massachusetts has been complicit, along with all the principals and coaches. People are afraid. Look at what happened to Kari MacRae and Erica Faginsky-Stark! It is brave to stand up against this well funded and powerful cult. We need to provide an off ramp and support for all those who come to their senses and are willing to speak up. If not, prepare to become a sanctuary state for transgender surgeries. It's not unlikely.
He did more than passively follow along, though - he co-sponsored trans sports bills twice in the past two years. I hope he has seen the light (either sincerely or that it's a losing issue politically) and I'm glad people are trying to reach him, but we should not have high expectations for people like this at first.
Yes. ALL Democrats have a sorry history of supporting without any evidence the dangerous "gender ideology". They all need to begin to reverse their positions and speak up, like Moulton and the NY Democrat have just done. If they don't back down and apologize under the pressure from the entire cult, including other Dems, then that is a good sign. IN order for people to learn from their past mistakes, and bring change, they should acknowledge their mistakes and move on in the right direction. Of course politicians often have ulterior motives. If both of them stand their ground and continue to learn, all the better for us all.
I hope they can be reached, and I'm glad people are trying. I'm just a little worried that I see people posting about what a hero Moulton is, and I think it's a little early for that... he could easily decide to throw women back under the bus again.
yes, sadly it is true. Politicians can blow with the wind, as they perceive prevailing thought. We can only hope that he and others are beginning to listen.
Thanks for that important information Catherine . Though I dislike Moulton on many other issues I wasn't aware that he was a past champion for transgender aggression.
Here is the Dr. Gregory Brown talk on the difference between males and females in sport. This was the talk scheduled at the Tewksbury Library-cancelled then uncancelled- which is in Moulton's district. Excellent presentation with irrefutable facts.
WHAT I HEARD MOULTON SAY: Now that Selection is over, I can speak abt troons in girls sports. I dont want my daughters get hurt by troons in their sports so take your “civil rights” and we're gonna maybe cx your privileges.
Thanks we appreciate it.
I havta say that I see some ppl who wouldnt speak out for 4 fkg years abt this attack on girls and women so excuse me if I don’t get all excited with gratitude for Moulton and his ilk.
And I've learned from comments that he hasn't exactly been Mr Anti-Trans Agenda these past few yrs.
Yes! If there are any others who would like to schedule a meeting with him in his Salem office to thank him in person and to use this moment to speak to him because he will doubtless be new to the talking points, please let me know.
When constituents the time to meet them in person it really makes an impact. He knows now that women are serious about this and he is going to need support and info.

Message me if you want to form a group!
i am not in Massachusetts anymore but i already sent him a thank you and i will follow up with the letters you suggest.

A forthcoming book! Can’t wait.
I live in Seattle and my rep has transed her own kid
But you know what, I wrote her anyway saying, "I support Representative Seth Moulton. Keep men out of women's sports and women's private places"
I’m in the same district. Please look up DIAG at www.di-ag.org. They have some great ideas for helping spread the word to Dems about this issue. I too will be cc’ing Jayapal on my letter to Moulton.
Well said. Seth Moulton is speaking truth to power.
It would be great if he could learn about/meet Nicole Powers, the trans woman athlete who has become an advocate for sex based sports. If people meet with him, mention her.
Thanks Karen, I never heard of her. Just googled. Very interesting.
