Announcing Exciting New Changes

June 3, 2024

I’m writing to announce some exciting new changes to this Substack, but first, Happy Pride! Reminder that lesbians neither have nor like penises!

On that theme, the US chapter of Women’s Declaration International (WDI USA) has launched an X ad campaign for Pride month. The ads are along these lines: 

I’m happy to report that since the launch of the ad campaign, the number of Americans who have signed the Declaration on Women’s Sex-Based Rights has already seen a significant spike. Let’s keep it going, and please sign the Declaration if you haven’t already.

This post is being sent to all subscribers to this Substack. It is free and shareable. If you are not already a paid subscriber and would like access to content that delves deeper into the movement to protect the sex-based rights of women and girls and to stop the abolition of sex, please consider becoming one today.

As many readers know, my terms as president and member of the board of directors of WDI USA expire at the end of July. Later this summer, I’ll be making some significant changes to this Substack. Don’t worry, though, the topics I discuss won’t change and I have no plans to compromise any of my positions on the fight to protect the sex-based rights of women and girls and to stop the abolition of sex.

I have already implemented a few changes. For example, I’m changing the name of the Substack to The TERF Report with Kara Dansky. Consider this your go-to resource for all things related to the radical feminist movement to protect the sex-based rights of women and girls and to stop the abolition of sex in the United States (and occasionally in other parts of the world).

I have also organized the Substack into sections. The main newsletter won’t change, but I’ve created two new sections: FFS Friday, which is and will remain publicly available; and The Reckoning, which contains many posts related to my experience writing The Reckoning: How the Democrats and the Left Betrayed Women and Girls. A few of the posts in The Reckoning are publicly available, but most are available to paid subscribers only. 

FFS Friday is here and The Reckoning is here.

Coming soon: The Democratic Women’s Declaration. I am frequently asked whether there is a Democratic Women’s Declaration to serve as an American equivalent of the UK’s Labour Women’s Declaration and Green Women’s Declaration. The answer to that question is no, and I realized a while back that if I want there to be one I was just going to have to write it. So I did. I’ll post it when it’s ready and create a mechanism for US Democratic women to sign it.

Coming later this summer or early fall: a lot more written content and, if all goes well, a podcast. My plan is to post short written updates on the movement to protect the sex-based rights of women and girls and to stop the abolition of sex for paid subscribers only on a daily basis (Monday - Thursday). FFS Friday posts will remain publicly available and I’ll post the occasional publicly available piece on an ad hoc basis, as I do now. 

People have been asking me to do a podcast for years, and I’ve resisted it because, to be honest, I just haven’t had time. But I expect to have plenty of time soon. A lot of people prefer written content over podcasts, so I’ll transcribe them. But plenty of people prefer to listen to content while driving, doing household chores, or whatever. So this podcast is mainly for them. I’ll aim to do one short (15-minute) paid-only podcast per week and one longer publicly available one per month.

This movement is gaining momentum, as more and more Americans are waking up to the harms that “gender identity” poses to women and girls as a sex class (and to everyone, really). WDI USA conducted polling last year showing that four in five American voters across the political spectrum know that the word women means adults who are female human beings. The overwhelming majority want to protect women-only sports and spaces.

So even though I plan to be less active with WDI USA starting in August (though I will remain a loyal and committed volunteer!), I'm kicking this Substack up a notch. I hope you’ll join me.
