Earlier this year, Townhall wrote up all the men masquerading as women who were celebrated throughout “Women’s History Month.” This included athletes, world leaders, influencers, beauty pageant competitors, and more. Allowing men who identify as women to use women’s spaces and compete in competitions meant for women is the left’s latest attempt to erase women entirely, as these men rob women of accolades and opportunities.
On Tuesday, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed an executive order known as the “Women’s Bill of Rights” meant to protect women’s spaces from men who “identify” as women.
“Today, we take another step to preserve the integrity of women’s spaces and opportunities,” Stitt said in remarks at the signing. “We’re making sure that women’s spaces are safe for women,” he explained, emphasizing that men will not be permitted into women’s prisons, domestic shelters, locker rooms, bathrooms, or sports.
“We're taking a stand against this out-of-control gender ideology that is eroding the very foundation of our society,” Stitt added. "We are going to be safeguarding the very essence of what it means to be a woman.

“So honored to stand alongside Governor Stitt as he signed an Executive Order on the Women's Bill of Rights, a law that defines sex-based terms like 'woman' Stitt is the first governor to take decisive action and safeguard women's privacy, safety, and equal opportunities,” she wrote. “This is a victory worth celebrating and a small step to defeating the war on women.”
His leadership sets an example for all Governors and elected officials. Rather than sitting idly by, he took action . This is a victory worth celebrating and a small step to defeating the war on women. Thanks @GovStitt !!!

To date, over 20 states have passed legislation meant to protect women’s sports from male-bodied athletes.
"It's even weird to say that we have to do this in today's age," Stitt said in an interview with Fox News about the legislation. "It's just common sense that we have to do this to define what a woman is and protect women. 50 years ago, Title XI was signed. Now it feels like the left is trying to erode that."
