Yesterday was International Women’s Day. In honor of the occasion, the first lady, Doctor of Education Jill Biden, Ed.D. and secretary of state Antony Blinken, A.B., J.D. co-hosted the 2023 International Women of Courage Awards ceremony at the White House because Biden “wanted to bring the stories of these incredible women to the biggest stage we could, and that is, of course, the White House,” declared Karine Jean-Pierre, B.S., MPA, the White House press secretary, who also spoke at the ceremony.
According to the official U.S. Department of State press release issued prior to the ceremony, the recipients are a group of 11 extraordinary women from around the world who are working to build a brighter future for all.
Now in its 17th year, the Secretary of State’s IWOC Award recognizes women from around the globe who have demonstrated exceptional courage, strength, and leadership in advocating for peace, justice, human rights, gender equity and equality, and the empowerment of women and girls, in all their diversity — often at great personal risk and sacrifice.
A quick reading confirmed that, indeed, the recipients do live up to their outstanding description.
But wait…a deeper reading of the press release and then the ceremony itself revealed that the Biden White House duped us (yeah, yeah, I know) again, because one of the recipients, Alba Rueda, is…a man. Oh, sure, Rueda, who was “assigned” the sex of male at birth in Argentina, but who now “identifies” as a woman, has had/is having some medical procedures and chemical interventions and “presents” as a woman. But DNA is forever.
Biological sex refers to the physical features of a human body (or anatomy).
Gender identity refers to one’s internal sense of being. That may align more toward being a male, female, or anywhere in between. Some people who identify as nonbinary may not have an internal sense of being a male or female at all!
Sex reassignment surgery involves changing a person’s anatomy. Whether a person identifies as a male or female shouldn’t change after surgery. And it doesn’t change their genetics either! …
Whatever set of chromosomes a person has when they are born cannot be changed. This is because chromosomes are in all the cells that make up our bodies.
To change a person’s chromosomes would mean changing trillions of cells! There aren’t any technologies (and probably won’t be in the future) that can change a chromosome in all of a person’s cells.
But hey, those of you born with with XX chromosomes, biologically known as ladies, women, females, girls — Alba Rueda, born with XY chromosomes — and still has them — is a woman according to the authoritative Dr. Biden and Secretary Blinken.
Or maybe not. S/He, it, they is transgender. What is this new species that even spell check doesn’t recognize — yet? The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention informs us that [t]ransgender is an umbrella term for persons whose gender identity or expression (masculine, feminine, other) is different from their sex (male, female) at birth. Gender identity refers to one’s internal understanding of one’s own gender, or the gender with which a person identifies. Gender expression is a term used to describe people’s outward presentation of their gender.
Gender identity and sexual orientation are different facets of identity. Everyone has a gender identity and a sexual orientation, but a person’s gender does not determine a person’s sexual orientation. Transgender people may identify as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, or none of the above.
Oh.
Or maybe non-binary. Huh?
The EEOC will incorporate the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) proposal for how to define “X” in a way that promotes clarity and inclusion, as well as safety and privacy for individuals. NCHS’s proposed definition of “X,” based on user testing performed earlier this year and summarized in a fact sheet issued today, has two parts: (1) “unspecified,” which promotes privacy for individuals who prefer not to disclose their gender identity; and (2) “another gender identity,” which promotes clarity and inclusion for those who wish to signify that they do not identify as male or female.
Oh again.
So why did Rueda receive this award as a woman when her/his/its/their biology and identity don’t match? As Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-Ark.) tweeted:
It’s International Women’s Day – a good time to remember that Democrats can’t even tell you what a woman is. https://t.co/BPJ1fHhl5u
— Sarah Huckabee Sanders (@SarahHuckabee) March 8, 2023
Rueda’s inclusion reeks of political correctness. The State Department’s description glowingly explains:
Alba Rueda, Argentina’s current Special Envoy for Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship, was the first Argentine Undersecretary for Diversity Policies in the newly created Ministry of Women, Gender, and Diversity. Ms. Rueda was the driving force behind Argentina’s executive order on the transgender labor quota in the public sector which was converted into the Transgender Labor Quota Act. She previously worked in the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights in their National Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism (INADI) as well as the Argentine Secretariat for Human Rights.
Etc. and etc.
Will women “identifying” as men be similarly honored on International Men’s Day , November 19, 2023, for aiding this year’s theme of “Zero Male Suicide”? Will there be another White House ceremony for Alba Rueda and others on March 31, 2023, the Transgender Day of Visibility? Courageous people of all backgrounds want to know.

Never heard anything so ludicrous in my life.
Find it hard to believe how warped this country has become since Babbling Biden cheated his way into the presidency.
I hope every moron who voted for him is proud of themselves.
They’re bigger idiots than he is.
The left, DEFINES insanity…
Hitler, was born with just one ball,
Goering, had two but they were small,
Himmler, had two quite similar
They say the Bidens have nothing at all.
Deformed people make poor leaders when they pathologically try to make up for what they never were able to grow themselves, or these days surgically attach or remove. It is THE PEOPLE who always pay when reality is replaced with imagination distortions in fake altered damaged ditto copies of God’s original designs that distort the image of the God who created them.
One can choose to identify with being a duck if they like, act like a duck, walk like a duck and quack like a duck.
But don’t try and convince others that you were born with duck genes, just to try and justify your degenerate behavior.
Genesis 1:27
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
The demonic Democrats have made-up their own genders.
“Are you going to believe me, the corrupt, obedient puppet president Joe Biden and his wife, or your lying eyes?”
Sick perverts though and though! The whole world knows what a woman is, and mentally unstable men are not it! The laughing stock of the world, is the US government!
washington d.c. is a lost ship of fools.
Time to seal it up, in an air tight dome.. AND LEAVE that dome in place, till nothing inside, is left….
Hi capricon1. Did you misspell ship? Maybe a “t” somewhere?
maybe!
The minute I saw the video clip on the news I though it was one of the silliest things I had seen in a long time. International Women’s Day and they were honoring a ???! It was a slap in the face to women everywhere, stealing what rightfullly belongs to a woman being given to a pretender. Real women are doing things all atound the globe, Iran comes to mind with the protests against the Islamic domination, yet such sacrifice was overlooked and not even given to an American. What sort of an example is this to girls in the country when the administration is demeaning what they are are to reward frauds in sports and honors like this?
YET we still don’t hear a single peep from all those femininst groups..
Her head is so far up her a _ _ that she can’t even tell what is between her legs, let alone others
Her? She?
That’s a women? You must be kidding. Things just went from bad to worse.
it’s time to go to “International XY Day.” We need to have “XY Weightlifting Championships” and “XY Swimming Championships.” Let’s see the snowflakes get around that one.
That’s the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Women have been fighting for their place in the world for years and years and years. There was a time when we couldn’t work, couldn’t hold an office, couldn’t go to school, couldn’t own anything, couldn’t vote, etc., etc., etc. Now that we have finally arrived men are trying to take all of this away from us by pretending to be women. Women why aren’t you screaming bloody murder? We should all be up in arms. We even have a Supreme Court Judge, a woman by the way, that can’t describe what a woman is. This is just sick. Come on Ladies. Men, you want to play dress up and pretend your a woman, fine, but stay in your own lane and don’t try to pass yourself off as a woman in the real world. Make your own sports, your own bathrooms, your own gyms, your own clubs and whatever else but stay away from ours. You look like fools.
Hence why i wonder, WHERE ARE the feminists??
Well, it appears that woman or whatever they are, have given away all of their womans rights achievements to this total lunacy. Way to go womans rights groups, you’ve been had by most likely the people you voted for! IMO
I guess when the newest member of the Supreme Court won’t define the word, and the Presidents wife goes along with what can only be called a joke or insanity, the only thing you can take from is that the Democratic administration is misogynistic, and or that Jill is uncomfortable with real women anywhere near Joe. Shame on her, shame on the entire democratic political circus.
I”m really getting tired of men telling women how to be women.
Hey, ladies how does it feel to be upstaged by a biological male on International Women’s Day? If this keeps up all the women’s rights advocates will be men who transitioned to women. These days if women want to be recognized it’s best to claim they’re really a male transitioning to female. Keep voting for those Democrats ladies and soon you will be riding in the back of the gender bus.
getting to be–if you got no penis –you can’t be a woman-
Where as if you HAVE ONE, you’re more of a ‘female’ than actual women.
Very sad, yet at the same time very revealing as to the real worth of a doctor’s degree. Just more muddy trash to wallow in.
I can’t help but wonder what internationally-significant “courage” this non-woman showed to earn her a place on this stage with some REAL heroines. Does helping push through some idiotic “Transgender Quota Act” (so now the poor people of Argentina will be forced to hire a pre-determined number of mentally-unstable persons, regardless of fitness for the job?) and the creation of the “Ministry of Women, Gender, and Diversity” equate to braving war-torn countries to try to save children? Even if this person WERE a woman, her so-called “acts of courage” are literally non-existent, and HIS inclusion in this group is a slap in the face to the real women on the stage.
Quotas and wokeness, ARE all the qualifications they need now days.
