Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. ________________________________ Since I could not express my views and feelings as eloquently - I am sending my Public comment in the guise of a poem written by a 14 year old young girl from Ireland. Respectfully, Edeltraut Sokol preussenfrau@hotmail.com <mailto:preussenfrau@hotmail.com> 1005 Quincy St. Port Townsend 360 385-9002 Am Not a Dress: We are women, we are warriors of steel, Woman is something no man will ever feel, Woman is not a skill that any man can hold, Woman is our word, and it is ours alone, I am not a dress to be worn on a whim, A man in a dress is nonetheless a him, Women are not simply what we wear, If this offends you, I do not care, I am not an idea in any man's mind, And my purpose in life is not to be kind, So when my rights are trampled every day of the week, I will not stand by being docile and meek, I am not defined by sexists eyes, There is more to a woman than that shallow guise, That guise of dresses, bikinis, and skirts, Those clothes are not what womanhood is worth, I am not a b****, a terf, a whore, a slag, Hysterical, a witch, a slut, a hag, No, I am a woman, I'm a female, Who will not her rights be put up for sale, I am not defined by what men are not, So to Hell with cis misogynistic rot, I am a woman, I'm not a subset of my sex, If this makes me a dinosaur, so be it, I'm a t-rex, I am not a bleeder, nor a menstruator, A womb carrier or a uterus haver, Those words and phrases are such a sham, Just call me woman, it is who I am, We are women, we are warriors of steel, Woman is something no man will ever feel, Woman is not a skill that any man can hold, Woman is our word, and it is ours alone ΑΩ†♀️ “All truth passes through three stages. First, it’s ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed.Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” A. Schopenhauer Isaiah 5:20 "God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools, and He has not been disappointed.” Justice Antonin Scalia
