A year ago this month, I was able to rid my left-wing university of liberal gender ideology. In January, the president-elect Donald Trump and the Republican Party have a historic opportunity to do the same for the entire nation.

Final victory against awakened mind virus East possible. I know, because I did it myself when I was just 19 years old.

It was just another Tuesday, at my job on campus, in the admissions office at Saint Mary’s College of Notre Dame, Indianawhen I heard something surprising. A new policy had slipped through the cracks at my all-female university, one that would admit applicants who “consistently live and identify as women,” in other words, biological men.

The impact of such a policy in an all-female school would be enormous. The administrators and self-proclaimed “feminists” of my women’s association Catholic The university wanted to force us to sleep in the same room as men, share bathrooms with men, and change clothes in front of men.

This policy would undermine the principle that we are unique women and what makes Saint Mary’s College so special. Still, college president Katie Conboy celebrated him.

I knew something had to be done and I knew I had to do it. I could not stand by and watch something so insulting destroy the very fabric of what made my Catholic women’s college so special. I knew the battle wouldn’t be easy, but that didn’t stop me.

No fight is nobler than that for the truth.

To my pleasant surprise, I was not alone in my feelings of anger and betrayal. With the help of nearly 100 other incredible students who had found comfort in my outspokenness, I was able to build a network of more than 1,000 alumni, friends, family, and other supporters. I told everyone about this predatory and unfair policy, which put the story on prime time news and in over 40 different media outlets.

It became a political movement in which we managed to bring together not just many right-wing people, but an incredibly large number of people. the leftAlso. The bipartisan revolution we organized has become an incredibly powerful testament to the reality of universal disregard for the idea of ​​allowing men into women’s spaces.

Despite the political nature of this policy, the key to defeating ideology was not to follow red or blue, but to follow green. The most important weapon we had was money. I successfully helped orchestrate a massive boycott of the university through a strong financial protest, during which the school ended up losing what should have amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars in donor money.

This was catastrophic and left them with no choice but to finally withdraw this policy.

Although I was able to help purge my women’s college of the virus of gender ideology that would surely have ruined the institution, this woke virus continues to ravage the lives of women across the country. Men still compete in women’s sports, little girls are still forced to share bathrooms with adult men, and some organizations still enforce the use of pronouns and “gender inclusion.”

There are other young girls like me who, unfortunately, do not have the tools to fight back like I do.

With a trio of Republicans in this year’s elections (the President, House, and Senate), it is time for us as a nation to stand up for the truth and end the evil of gender ideology.

Next January, we will have a Republican majority in Congress and Trump back in the White House. This presents a unique opportunity for our government to stand with women and end this madness once and for all.

The far-left position taken by the Biden-Harris administration on the use of pronouns and the complete redefinition of what a woman is through Title IX radically swayed voters in favor of the Republican ticket. Voters showed up in this election and made it clear that they wanted a return to normalcy and biological reality.

My story should demonstrate that this issue has support on both sides, if only lawmakers were brave enough to follow the money. The final solution is clear: taxpayer dollars should not flow to institutions that continue to promote the transgender agenda that millions of Americans voted against.

Woke education must be funded by the federal government.

I was delighted to hear Trump announce that he would seek to end male participation in women’s sports and deny federal funds to any educational institution that teaches transgender insanity. I’m thrilled to see him keep this promise, so that women don’t have to be silenced and suppressed by men, and young female students can stop living in fear, wondering if their schools and their sororities will end up like mine.

I urge lawmakers in Congress to follow the President’s lead and do their part to protect women and girls across the country.
