FFS Friday: Cheyenne Kenney

June 26, 2026

FFS (Female Free Speech) Friday honors women and girls who are speaking out about the harms that “gender identity” poses to women and girls as a sex class. Thanks so much to Amy Sousa (@KnownHeretic on X) for a lovely post appreciating the series.

Today’s FFS Friday celebrates Cheyenne Kenney (@misscheyennek on X), who recently delivered searing testimony before a committee of the California state legislature.

I occasionally use these pages to celebrate well-known TERFs, but my favorite is to use them to celebrate less-known women who are just starting to speak out using their own names. Cheyenne is a fantastic example!

The bill in question is Caliifornia’s SB 1114, which concerns data collection on sexual orientation and gender identity by state entities. She was there to oppose it.

This is what she said (as captured on video and reported by Erin Friday):

Cheyenne Kenney, Our Duty.

This bill would seal government records that reveal a person’s sex. You know who benefits from that? Not me, not any woman.

The beneficiaries are men who use a “female identity” as a key to unlock female spaces and hide with the help of our government.

California already houses men in women’s prisons based on self-declared gender identity. When violence happens, it gets reported that a woman raped an inmate with her penis. We will not stop reporting on the trans-identified males you move into female prisons.

Did you know that 70 percent of trans-identified males housed with female inmates have been convicted of sex crimes? Of course you did! But you don’t care. If a man says he is a woman, he can lie to himself and the government will go along with that lie.

If we cannot access accurate records showing a person’s sex, we cannot track violent male offenders who change their recorded gender to disappear into female facilities.

We will not stay quiet. We will not be kind. We will protest male athletes pretending to be female.

Don’t tell me this is about protecting a vulnerable community. The first openly trans-identified elected official in the US was Barry Laughton, aka Stacie, a New Hampshire state rep. He was just sentenced to 33 years in prison for directing his partner to take explicit photographs of children as young as three years old at a daycare. They exchanged thousands of messages discussing using those kids for sex. Three-year-olds. You want these perverts hiding in our midst.

Vote no.

After her testimony, the young female Republican Vice Chair Ally Macedo admonished the next witness to “stick with the merits of this bill,” demonstrating that she either did not read the bill or understand how hiding records of a person’s sex hurts females effectuating their sex-based rights.

What is more pertinent to a bill about data collection on sex and “gender identity” than a discussion of the very real and concrete dangers of failing to record sex accurately?

Cheyenne, thank you so much for your testimony and for your work with Our Duty. We’re just going to have to keep talking about this stuff until our elected officials do something about it or until they’re voted out. The movement to protect the sex-based rights of women and girls really needs young women like you, and your voice is so appreciated. Today’s FFS Friday is for you.
