Sneaky Spanberger Quietly Made Huge Decision on

I’ll just say it: Abigail Spanberger has merely been an terrible governor. The Virginia Democrat ran on a considerably cheap platform, by today’s requirements anyway, and didn’t appear as extremist and wild-eyed as many of her leftist and Democratic Socialist colleagues.

Since taking workplace in January, however, she’s been like a snake that shed its pores and skin, only to reveal a fully different shade beneath. She rapidly veered to the Left on immigration enforcement and advocated for strict new measures prohibiting cooperation with ICE and federal law enforcement. She signed a slew of hardcore gun control payments, including a invoice that will ban the future sale and manufacture of so-called “assault weapons” and another that makes it simpler to maintain weapons producers and sellers liable for how their merchandise are used.

In her marketing campaign, she claimed she didn’t assist a redistricting plan that would favor Democrats, and then virtually immediately after transferring into the Executive Mansion in Richmond, she about-faced on that too. She’s slick, ruthless, and will apparently disguise who she actually is and what real core values are if it helps her get more votes.

If you need more proof, how about this one: Spanberger quietly rolled back proposed protections for women in her state — and she did it in July with no announcement, no statements, no press convention, no nothing. 

Profiles in braveness, certainly:

Spanberger’s administration withdrew a proposed regulation that would have prevented organic males from competing on female-only athletic groups and getting into sure female-designated areas, including locker rooms and bogs.

The withdrawal occurred July 30, 2026, but acquired little public consideration until September. The administration didn’t issue a news release or publicly announce the choice.

The change appeared instead on the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall web site, which lists the proposed rules as having been “withdrawn on 07/30/2026 after the remark period had ended.”

Christian Martinez, who served as an aide to former Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin, whose administration backed the regulation, was appalled:

.@SpanbergerForVA offered out Virginia’s women.

Secretly killed @GlennYoungkin’s protections retaining organic males OUT of women’ sports activities and locker rooms.

Fairness for feminine athletes? Disposable. The ideology? Untouchable.

Another particular person who was disgusted? Hungarian Olympian Réka György, who misplaced a place in the 2022 NCAA swimming remaining to the notorious 6-foot-1 former University of Pennsylvania male swim star, Lia Thomas, who swam on the ladies’s staff. She is aware of full nicely the pain the twisted observe can have on its victims and said she was “very disappointed” by the news:

“It’s really sad for me because I had the petition filed a year ago, and Youngkin approved it and wanted to take the next step and protect female athletes and female spaces in Virginia,” György told OutKick.

“I don’t like to see that people are using their power, especially political power, to make decisions and hurt other people. And also, it’s coming from a female.”

Virginia Tech swimmer Reka Gyorgy has launched a full assertion on the NCAA permitting Lia Thomas to compete in the five hundred freestyle. She was seventeenth in the event.

Former University of Kentucky star Riley Gaines raced Thomas at the NCAAs and has develop into a main opponent of males in ladies’s sports activities and a high-profile advocate for (real) ladies, particularly athletes. She can also’t consider we’re still combating this ludicrous battle:

Shame on you, @SpanbergerForVA, for sending every little lady in Virginia the message that she isn’t worthy of being called a champion.https://t.co/dnCXPc2tVX

It’s unimaginable to me that this is even an issue. As many have identified, anybody advocating for dudes in women’ locker rooms a decade or two in the past would have been laughed off this planet. Why? Because it’s one of the most idiotic concepts that has ever been floated, and it exhibits just how loony many in the American Left have develop into.

Spanberger has been a shame and has ruled more like AOC than like an grownup. Now, she’s added to her already wicked legacy by promoting out her own gender, and she didn’t even have the center to say it out loud.

What ever occurred to ladies’s rights?
