EXCLUSIVE: WoLF Submits Supreme Court Amicus Brief on “conversion therapy” in Tingley v. Ferguson |
| This past Thursday, WoLF submitted an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Tingley v. Ferguson, asking the court to reverse a Ninth Circuit ruling that upheld a district court’s decision to throw out Tingley’s challenge to Washington’s new law against so-called “conversion therapy” for minors... |  |
|
Although WoLF vehemently opposes conversion therapy for same-sex attracted youth, the amicus brief argues that “gender transition,” which is endorsed by SB 5722, has become a modern form of conversion therapy that is deeply rooted in homophobia and used primarily to “convert” same-sex attracted and gender non-conforming youth into “straight-passing” youth. Research demonstrates that many children desist from childhood gender dysphoria, and most eventually grow up accepting that they are same-sex attracted and/or gender non-conforming. Radical feminist activists describe this tactic as forced teaming - when transactivists manipulate, gaslight, and violate the boundaries of the lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) civil rights movement - appealing to droves of uncritical liberal supporters with its rebranded, vacuous “LGBTQIA2S+” civil rights movement. WoLF further argues that “gender identity ideology” functions similarly to a religion, and forcing this ideology on the public through SB 5722 violates the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, making it unconstitutional. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." Yet, by enshrining gender identity ideology into law, WoLF argues that Washington state has endorsed one belief system over others (even worse, endorsed a harmful belief system over physical reality and science) and is effectively imposing this dogma on the public “through compelling speech and actions in support of this belief system.” Because of this, WoLF argues that SB 5722 is unconstitutional… Stay tuned for the full update - Coming soon! |

“Being on the WoLF board has been the most gratifying activism of my life. I share this organization with stalwart, brave, and impassioned women who want to get it done.

For much of my life, my activism has been fueled by grim determination, but participating in WoLF has changed that to joyful optimism. Women really can bring a feminist world into being!” Thank you, Lierre! |
