The “Gender Agenda” refers to a Marxist-Inspired effort to re-educate the nation’s youth to believe that one’s sex is fluid and non-binary. In the words of Shulamith Firestone, 'the goal of the feminist revolution must be the elimination of the “sex distinction itself: genital differences between human beings would no longer matter culturally…The tyranny of the biological family would be broken.”
In response, numerous states have enacted new laws designed to protect women’s sports, safeguard parental rights, ban pronoun mandates, and stop gender transitioning of underage youth.
During the recent 2024 legislative sessions, the following 12 laws were enacted to thwart the Gender Agenda:
Women's Sports:
Ohio House Bill 68 - a bill that prevents transgender athletes from playing women's sports.
New Hampshire HB 1205 - a bill protecting participation on female K-12 sports teams based on sex.
Parental Rights:
Tennessee SB 2749 - 'Families’ Rights and Responsibilities Act,' which establishes that “[t]he liberty of a parent to the care, custody, and control of the parent’s child, including the right to direct the upbringing, education, health care, and mental health of the child, is a fundamental right.”
Bans on Pronoun Mandates:
California bill A.B. 1955, the Support Academic Futures and Educators for Today’s Youth, or SAFETY Act, California school districts can no longer adopt parental notification policies that require teachers to inform parents if their child asks to use a name or pronoun different than what was assigned at birth.
Louisiana House Bill 121 prohibits the use of transgender and nonbinary youths’ chosen names and pronouns in K-12 public schools without parental permission.
Tennessee SB 1810 - a bill that requires schools to alert parents if their child has requested to go by a name, or set of pronouns, that differs from their school forms.
Idaho House Bill 538, bars teachers from referring to a student by a name or pronoun that doesn't align with their birth sex, unless parents consent. It also broadly enacts protections for public employees, including teachers, who are unwilling to use someone's preferred name and pronouns.
Stop Gender Transitioning of Underage Youth:
Idaho House Bill 668, a bill banning the use of public funding to cover sex-change procedures.
Ohio House Bill 68, a bill which blocks gender-affirming care for trans youth.
Wyoming bill SF0099, a Children gender change prohibition bill which bans physicians from performing procedures for children related to gender transitioning and gender reassignment.
South Carolina bill H4624 places a ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors. The law also bars health professionals from performing gender-transition surgeries, prescribing puberty blockers and overseeing hormone treatments for patients under 18.
New Hampshire HB 619 - a bill that "ensures that life-altering, irreversible surgeries will not be performed on children."
At the national level, the Department of Education issued a Title IX regulation in April that redefines sex to include “gender identity”. In response, 10 lawsuits have been filed in various states to stop the new policy. To date, temporary injunctions have been issued that block the implementation of the regulation in 26 states.
In addition, SAVE has launched a Citizen Watchdog program designed to engage citizens in local grassroots efforts to monitor school activities.
In support of these developments, SAVE is inviting candidates for political office to sign the “Candidate Pledge to Protect Schools, Children, and Families from the Federal Title IX Plan.”
SAVE’s mission is to assure that every student and faculty member across America is afforded their constitutional protections of fairness and due process, especially in the context of sexual harassment and sexual assault. In particular, SAVE — Stop Abusive and Violent Environments — seeks to assure that the federal Title IX law is applied consistently and fairly to all students, both male and female.
SAVE carries out this mission through media campaigns, legal advocacy, legislative activities, and monitoring of university compliance.
