Peltola’s scam on on women and girls: She votes for men to linger inside women’s bathrooms and locker rooms

Rep. Mary Peltola has made herself out to be the defender of women. But by “women,” she means “men who want to use women’s bathrooms and locker rooms.” And by “girls,” she means allowing schools to transition children into a different gender identity without their parents’ knowledge.

As Alaska’s only member of Congress, Peltola voted against a bill to allow parents to even see the curriculum their children are being taught at public schools.

At the same time, she was accepting tens of thousands of dollars from gender identity warrior groups and asking Alaskans to donate to Identity Inc., Alaska’s leading organization that encourages children to join their transgender tribe and transition their sexual characteristics.

Mary Peltola’s embrace of transgender politics draws national attention as she faces voters

In March of 2023, Peltola voted “No” on the Parents Bill of Rights Act, which would require schools to get permission from parents before helping a child make a gender identity switch at school. The bill also required schools to inform parents of violent activity. The bill passed along party lines, with all Democrats voting against it.

Peltola accepted $20,000 from the leftist National Education Association, and $15,000 from the American Federation of Teachers (AFL-CIO). Both organizations are part of the war on parents and advocate for books like “Gender Queer,” a gay sex manual with graphic illustrations, to be assigned summer reading for children.

Peltola has accepted another $6,000 from the Human Rights Campaign, which has the mission of transitioning children, including surgical mutilation of their genitals.

The Heritage Foundation has documented several cases of men pretending to be transgender in order to gain access to women’s bathrooms. They include:

1. In 2009, a sex offender named Richard Rendler was arrested for wearing fake breasts and a wig while loitering in a women’s restroom in a Campbell, California, shopping center. Rendler had previously been arrested on charges of child molestation and indecent exposure.
2. In 2010, Berkeley police arrested Gregorio Hernandez. Hernandez had disguised himself as a woman on two separate occasions to get inside a UC Berkeley locker room. Once in the locker room, Hernandez allegedly used his cell phone to photograph women.
3. In 2013, Jason Pomare was arrested for cross-dressing in order to gain access to the women’s restroom at a Macy’s department store in Palmdale, California. Pomare snuck a video camera in to secretly videotape women while they used the restroom.
4. In 2014, Christopher Hambrook—who faked being a transgender person named Jessica—was jailed in Toronto, Canada. Hambrook preyed on women at two Toronto shelters, and had previously preyed on other women and girls as young as 5 years old to as old as 53. Hambrook’s case in particular shows the importance of protecting the privacy and safety of some of our most vulnerable citizens: the homeless and others who seek emergency shelter. 
5. In 2015, two spying instances were recorded in Virginia—one at a mall and one at a Wal-Mart. Both instances involved a man in women’s clothing who used a mirror and camera to take pictures of a mother and her 5-year-old daughter and a 53-year-old woman while they were in neighboring restroom stalls. The suspect wore a pink shirt and a long wig to present himself as a woman.
6. In 2016, a man used a women’s locker room at a public swimming pool in Washington state to undress in front of young girls who were changing for swim practice. When Seattle Parks and Recreation staff asked him to leave, the man claimed that “the law has changed and I have a right to be here.” The man was apparently referring to a Washington state rule that allows individuals to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity. However, the man made no attempt to present as a woman.

The Family Research Council has also documented cases of predators using women’s bathrooms as a way to film or watch women use the toilet or undress:

Rep. Peltola doubles down in support of puberty blockers for children

“Mary Peltola has supported biological men in women’s locker rooms and private facilities, biological men competing in women’s sports, preventing parents from knowing their children’s public school curriculum, what books are being made available to their children, or what pronouns are being used for their child at school,” said Nick Begich, who is running to replace Peltola.

“Peltola has even encouraged donations be sent to Identity, Inc., an organization that provides gender transition treatments to children in Alaska. Like so many things in life there’s a big difference between the ads and the truth. In taking these positions, Peltola supports neither women nor families but in fact supports policies that erode the opportunities and rights of both,” he said.
