Democrats Sink Women’s Museum Bill Over ‘Biological Women’ Language
“The amendment… states that the Museum will be focused on the history, achievements, and lived experiences of ‘biological women’ and that the Museum may not identify, present, describe, or otherwise depict transgender women as women.”
Right after the 2024 presidential election, we learned about the tactic used by the Trump campaign that was perhaps the most effective at winning over converts in the closing weeks leading up to Election Day.
While Kamala Harris and Tim Walz were leaning in on the women’s vote, Donald Trump and J.D. Vance were targeting disaffected men, specifically younger ones in black and Hispanic communities, who the campaign knew through research were feeling ignored, abandoned, and insulted.
Their strategy to emphasize masculinity, coupled with ads that included warnings about Harris’ support for trans rights, ended up paying off big time with the exact voters Trump needed down the finish line. It moved not just those younger male voters in his direction but more suburban women voters, too, a twofer that paid big dividends on Election Day.
“But the ad, with its vivid tagline — ‘Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you’ — broke through in Mr. Trump’s testing to an extent that stunned some of his aides,” The New York Times reported at the time.
Here we are in another critical election year, and Democrats are continuing to double down on the failed strategy of supporting so-called “transgender rights” that would have men who “identify” as women using the same locker rooms, dressing rooms, bathrooms, etc. as biological women. Not to mention the fact that Democrats still support transgender “women” invading women’s sports even in instances where the biological women are injured or lose out to men in sports competitions where awards, medals, etc., are given.
The latest example of this comes amid a push in Congress for a women’s history museum that would be located in Washington, D.C. A bill that once had bipartisan support in the House lost support in recent weeks from many of its initial Democratic supporters, in part because an amendment was added that would restrict the D.C. women’s history museum’s acknowledgements to actual women, not men who identify as women:
The Democratic Women’s Caucus announced its formal opposition to the bill Monday after 146 Democrats signed a letter last month asking Johnson to restore the previous version of the bill.
They said that, in addition to giving Trump control over the museum’s site and design, the “eleventh-hour amendment” included language that said only “biological women” could be included in the museum, which they said targeted transgender women and girls and invited arbitrary enforcement. They also took issue with the legislation’s being unpaired from a plan to build a national museum for the American Latino.
[Rep. Nicole] Malliotakis [R-NY] said in an interview Wednesday that Democrats were “hiding behind” Trump’s having control to change the museum’s site, arguing that their opposition was rooted solely in the inclusion of a phrase that specified the museum would include only “biological women.”
The vote on this bill was held on Thursday, and it failed to pass by a vote of 204-216, with six Republican House members voting against it. Eight GOP members weren’t present for the vote.
According to Politico, there was a lot of behind-the-scenes drama ahead of the vote, with some Republicans wondering why the museum was even needed:
Republicans have been quietly fighting over it for days, per sources. Several GOP lawmakers raised concerns in a lengthy back and forth during House Republicans’ closed door meeting Weds about why the museum was even needed.
They also argued it would further divide Americans into groups when there are already women represented across the wider collection of Smithsonian museums, per 5 ppl in the room.
But though Republicans were divided on the bill, Democrats were not, and they all voted against it.
Amazingly, one of the bill’s original backers, Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA), proclaimed that the bill’s defeat was a victory for women:
I’m relieved that the Republicans’ partisan amendment to my Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act has failed. I was proud to vote no because no President should have unilateral authority to decide the content and location of a museum.
This is a win for women. We will continue to stand strong against extremist attempts to give Trump possession over Women’s history and stories. It’s time for Republicans to return to our original, bipartisan bill.
Talk about spin. What they really “stood strong against” was the ability to make sure that the stories told at the future D.C. women’s history museum (should it ever see the light of day) were about the accomplishments of actual women, not the men who pretend to be one.

The Collective Breed called ‘Democrat’ has utterly lost its mind, such as it was.
These pukes have gone full-communist and full-Islamofascist. And, their national and Senate/congressional candidates are still reaping tens of millions of collective votes, indicating that the malignancy is societally pervasive.
No rational group of people got together and decided that “men pretending to be women” was the hill to fight and die on politically.
There is some subversive agenda with them championing it. I dare say it’s even beyond Marxist/Stalinist, but I may underestimate how low they will go to blow up our country and gain control.
Perhaps its the dysphoric effect of alienating and depressing sane people that the world has truly gone mad? I dunno, but it is something that is as close to satanic as can exist on this side of hell.
You hit the nail on the head with Satanic. He is loose in the world devouring whom he may.
Andy: “This is as close to hell as can exist.”
The Left: “Hold my beer.”
Because Democrats are misogynists advocating for the new trans fascist patriarchy. It demands that men invade and conquer the spaces of women.
These Republicans make me want to puke. They are all just Democrats, 5 years behind the times. “Lived Experience” ? Go get stuffed, you pusillanimous cucks.
This is truly unfair. The article indicates that the Republicans didn’t balk at the fake-women amendment, they balked because they thought the entire museum was a boondoggle to begin with. And that’s laudable.

“Suspect is described as being a flat chested, dwarf hybrid with sleeve tat and a fivehead. Please do not approach.”
“You can expect her to file a complaint with the lollipop Guild over this description.”
The next time someone says DEI is dead or trans-stuff is over, remember that in May of 2026, six so-called Republicans voted against defining women by biology.
Leftists women love to shriek about the “patriarchy” but when you have actual examples of men kicking women to the curb and taking their places…. crickets.
And why do we need a “women’s museum” anyway?
As a woman, we don’t need a woman’s museum, or black museum, or Latino….
Just put exhibits that tell the whole story,
Stop dividing our nation further
Recall the words of Booker T. Washington, and just replace “negro” with any other group identification. It’s all about the graft.
“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
The nine most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m from the democrat party, and I’m here to help.”
Almost every “advancement” in the so-called rights of trans-women is nothing less than misogyny.
“Transgender” issues aside, I agree the museum is completely unnecessary and should not be given public monies for funding. Those who want it can fund it on their own dime.
Can’t the trannies just have their own museum?
“The Democratic Women’s Caucus announced its formal opposition to the bill Monday”
In a perfect world, the Democrat Women’s Caucus would be invaded and then taken over by fake women, who would shut the real women out of everything, and box the ones who complained about it.
