Author and writer for the Wall Street Journal Abigail Shrier testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday about the dangers of the Equality Act, explaining that the bill hinders equality instead of reinforcing it.
“If S393 merely proposed to extend employment and public housing rights to gay and transgender Americans, I would be supporting this bill instead of testifying against it,” Shrier explained. “I am here today because the bill does much more. And no one who wrote it appears to have thoughtfully considered what it would mean for women and girls.”
Abigail Shrier says she s likely interviewed more transgender people than anyone in the hearing room.

After waging battles with the Trump administration, New York’s top legal officer – and the first woman of color to hold statewide office – is keeping her attention trained on the former president’s questionable real estate ventures, while also taking on Facebook, Google, the New York City Police Department and the National Rifle Association. This year, her office issued a damning report on New York’s undercount of nursing home deaths due to COVID-19, and she appointed two independent attorneys to investigate allegations of sexual harassment against Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a former ally who she might be well positioned to replace at some point in the future.
