Monday 21st October - I Can’t Believe it’s Not Satire
THE TELEGRAPH: The Scottish government has issued guidance to public bodies claiming that there are ‘24 genders’.
The SNP government has stated that there are 24 different genders in official guidance issued to public bodies. These guidelines on how to record sex and gender were issued by the Scottish Government’s chief statistician, originally produced in 2021 but updated with the new list of genders only last week.
The guidance says that those who have a ‘trans history’ or wish to record a trans identity should be asked to describe their gender in their own words. Public bodies are instructed to then categorise these responses into various gender identity options. These include ‘agender’, identifying as having a gender, ‘bigender’, having two different genders, and ‘pangender’, encompassing all genders at once.
In addition to using the nonsense phrase ‘assigned male/female at birth’, the guidance also uses the outdated term ‘intersex’. Disorders of Sexual Development are medical conditions, not a ‘gender identity’, and in every single case they affect specifically either male or female people. Worryingly, the list also includes the term ‘autigender’, referring to people who “Think about and relate to their gender label - or lack of a gender label - in the context of autism”. The Cass Review highlighted the disproportionately high number of children referred to GIDs who had autism and other types of neurodiversity. To imply that neurodiversity is itself some specific type of ‘gender identity’ seems irresponsible in the extreme.
As Wings Over Scotland points out, “Boring old ‘male’ and ‘female’ – or ‘man’ and ‘woman’ – are not included as gender options. (We wouldn’t be entirely surprised if they were actually now hate crimes.) Non-trans people are now swallowed up by the single definition “cisgender”, which makes no distinction between the sexes”.
Only a few months ago, First Minister, John Swinney told a BBC radio phone-in programme that he knows there are only two ‘genders’ (ie sexes). He initially dodged answering the question with the usual rhetoric about it being a matter of political debate. However, when pressed by presenter, Nicky Campbell, Swinney conceded “From my point of view there is the male and female gender”.
So why is he allowing this ludicrous list of imaginary gender identities to be issued by his government to Scottish public bodies?
The Scottish government’s estimate of 24 genders, however, seems conservative when compared to the Irish’s government’s definition of the word.
The Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill has just been passed by the Dáil Éireann (the principal chamber of the Irish Parliament). As we have previously reported, this new law will erase women’s sex-based rights and spaces with its meaningless and open-ended definition of ‘gender’.
Part 1 Section 3 Subsection 2:
(d) “gender” means the gender of a person or the gender which a person expresses as the person’s preferred gender or with which the person identifies and includes transgender and a gender other than those of male and female.
(f) references to sex characteristics shall be construed as references to the physical and biological features of a person relating to sex.
During a debate in the Seanad Éireann (the upper house of the Irish parliament) on 16th October, Senator Sharon Keogan read out a list of 862 different genders, all of which will now be protected under Ireland’s new ‘hate crime’ legislation.

CHESTER STANDARD: A trans-identified male has been jailed for child sex offences after contacting minors online in order to sexually abuse them.
25-year-old Thomas Quinn is a trans-identified male who now calls himself Chloee-Mae Danvers. He describes himself as a ‘lesbian woman’ and ‘a small town girl’ on his social media profiles. In 2022 he set up a (now deleted) GoFundMe page, trying to finance cross-sex hormones at a private clinic. It read, “Hi, my name is Chloee, and I have gender dysphoria. I was born male, but I desire to be a woman… My goal is to transition into a woman entirely, and these funds would go towards me getting to London and paying for the consultations”.
Danvers is a convicted sex offender. In 2020 he was issued with a Sexual Harm Prevention Order and had to sign the sex offender’s register after being convicted of making and distributing indecent images of children.
In August, Danvers appeared at Chester Crown Court after he was apprehended breaching his Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO). He had attempted to solicit underage girls on social media sites, using a variety of female guises.
According to The Daily Mail, police officers raided Danvers’ home in Chester after receiving information that he was active on social media. Officers seized various electronic devices which were later found to contain 558 indecent images of children and 81 videos. Of these, 68 were deemed Category A, the most serious classification indicating images which depict penetrative sexual activity, sexual activity involving an animal or sadism, and 11 were described as ‘extreme pornography’.
Furthermore, police discovered that Danvers had tried to contact several young girls via social media and engaged in explicit sexual communication with them. Inquiries revealed that Danvers called himself Chloe Foreman, Sophie GF, and Chloe Twitch on his social media accounts. The authorities had been unaware of his online alter egos as he appears on the Sex Offender Register as Thomas Quinn.
In one of the online exchanges, Danvers contacted a girl of 13 asking her, “Can you date me?” and “Are you a virgin?”. He told a 15-year-old girl, “Yummy, good a proper 15 yo pussy”. He asked a girl of nine years old “So I could come around?” before trying (unsuccessfully) to solicit her home address. He asked another 13 year old to send him photographs of herself in her underwear.
When Danvers was first convicted in August, it was under the name Thomas Quinn and police used male pronouns with which to refer to him. However, when local paper, The Chester Standard, reported on the case, it used the name Chloee-Mae Danvers and failed to mention the sex of the perpetrator anywhere in its article.
In court this week Danvers was referred to by prosecutors firstly with male pronouns and then with female pronouns, after which Cheshire Police issued a press release referring to him as ‘they’. Such linguistic gymnastics attempting to uphold the self-declared ‘gender’ of a sex offender, and thus be complicit in the obscuring of his identity, would be totally unnecessary if the media and the forces of law and order could just tell the truth; Quinn/Danvers is a man.
Danvers pleaded guilty to 21 separate offences including making and distributing indecent images of children, attempting sexual communication with a child, breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order, and failing to comply with the requirements of the Sex Offenders register. He was sentenced to 40 months in prison.
Detective Constable Stephen Park commented that Danvers was left with no choice but to plead guilty given the catalogue of evidence against him. He added, “Danvers is a prolific sex offender and an incredibly dangerous individual, and I welcome the sentence handed to them today”.

THE DAILY MAIL: Norfolk Constabulary is forcing women to share changing and bathroom facilities with males who ‘identify as female’.
Norfolk Constabulary has come under fire this week for its policy which forces female officers and civilian staff to share toilet facilities, showers and changing rooms with trans-identified male colleagues.
The force’s Trans Equality at Work Policy was drawn up in conjunction with the Police Federation, the public sector union, Unison, and groups described as ‘staff support networks’. It states, “All trans individuals are entitled to use the toilet, shower and changing facilities appropriate to their gender identity. Where this does not fit a binary definition of gender, the individual is able to choose where they feel most comfortable”.
Furthermore, Norfolk Constabulary allows trans-identified officers to carry dual or even multiple warrant cards if they are in the process of transitioning or claim to be ‘gender fluid’.
Cathy Larkman, national policing lead for the Women's Rights Network, told The Daily Mail that a number of other police forces - including South Yorkshire, Kent, Avon and Somerset, and the British Transport Police - have introduced similar or identical policies.
She commented, “Police leaders at the highest level have embraced gender ideology but it's harmful to their own female officers and their rights. It's often a dirty and difficult role and officers come into contact with bodily fluids, drugs and excrement on a daily basis. Officers need access to private and dignified facilities which should be safe as well. Policewomen would feel reticent to speak out for fear of being labelled discriminatory and being subjected to disciplinary procedures, so they're in an invidious position”.
A female police officer, who asked not to be identified, told the paper, “I've got nothing against how other people lead their lives but this is putting a minority group's rights over mine and [that of] other female officers. A lot of people are very unhappy about this and don't feel safe but it's very difficult to speak out”.

DAILY VOICE: A trans-identified male has been arrested and charged with the brutal stabbing of an off-duty police officer.
44-year-old Pennsylvania police officer and father of two, Benjamin J Brailler, was murdered on Monday 21st October. He was attacked while out running along the Montour Trail in Moon Township. Paramedics treated him at the scene but he was later pronounced dead in hospital. He had been stabbed repeatedly.
Police arrested 25-year-old trans identified male, Anthony Quesen, who also calls himself Antonia Kaseim, after reportedly finding his bicycle and bag at the crime scene. The West Hills Gazette reported that Quesen had blood stains on his clothes and cuts to his hands when officers apprehended him. He has been charged with criminal homicide and is being held in the Allegheny County Jail.
According to court documents recorded under the name Antonia Kaseim, in June 2023 Quesen was charged with felony robbery and misdemeanour assault, recklessly endangering another person, evading arrest and disorderly conduct. He was released without bail and subsequently absconded, failing to appear for any arraignments in the case. The Post Millennial reports that it was ‘non-binary’ judge Xander Orenstein of the Magisterial District Court who allowed Quesen to be released without bail.
We extend our sincere condolences and sympathy to the family and friends of Officer Benjamin J Brailler.

NEW YORK TIMES: An influential gender clinician suppressed the results of a puberty blockers study.
Johanna Olson-Kennedy has been medicalising gender-distressed children and teenagers for 16 years. She is the Medical Director of The Centre for Transyouth Health and Development at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and she is a Professor of Clinical Paediatrics at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California.
In 2019 Transgender Trend wrote, “Olson-Kennedy is perhaps the most influential ‘gender doctor’ out of many who are already putting into practice a gender-affirmative and informed consent model across the United States. The dominant themes that emerge about her work originate from her seemingly evangelical belief in the presence of an ‘innate gender’ inside of all of us; a gender stereotyped soul which demands expression not just through clothes and pronouns but physically through the body with blockers and hormones”.
Johanna Olson-Kennedy is married to a trans-identified female, Aydin Olson-Kennedy, a licensed clinical social worker working with gender distressed children and young people. Aydin’s website advertises that she will write approval letters for ‘gender-affirming’ medical interventions for minors free of charge.
Unsurprisingly, the Olson-Kennedys are two of the most vociferous gender zealots in the USA. In this 2020 interview, for example, Johanna says she wishes she had a wall in her office on which she could display photos of all the ‘trans kids’ that she has ‘birthed’ in the same way that maternity doctors display photos of the babies they helped bring into the world. On the subject of young girls undergoing a double mastectomy, she has claimed, “Here’s the thing about chest surgery, if you want breasts at a later point in your life, you can go and get them.”
In 2015, Johanna Olson-Kennedy and her colleagues began a study into ‘The Impact of Early Medical Treatment in Transgender Youth’ as part of a multi-million dollar federal project. She received a $5.7million grant funded by the National Institutes of Health to conduct this study.
Olson-Kennedy and her team recruited 95 children, average age 11, from across the country and prescribed them puberty blockers. They then observed the children for the next two years to ascertain whether or not the drugs improved their mental health. The results were never published. However, the other researchers have indicated they found no evidence that puberty blockers improved the patients’ mental health.
When Olson-Kennedy was asked why she had not published the findings of the study, nine years after it first began, she claimed it was because she feared the results would be politicised. “I do not want our work to be weaponized,” she said.
In an interview with the New York Times, Olson-Kennedy maintained that the puberty blockers had not yielded mental health improvements because the participants had already been ‘in really good shape’ when beginning the study. “They have good mental health on average”, she claimed. “They’re not in any concerning ranges, either at the beginning or after two years.”
However, this claim is at odds with the original description of the participants given by Olsen-Kennedy and her team of researchers. In the initial psychological profile, the children in the study were described rather differently. The original assessment stated that around a quarter of the group reported symptoms of depression and significant anxiety and had even had thoughts around suicide. Furthermore, 8% of the children had reported a past suicide attempt. Hardly what any doctor would describe as ‘in really good shape’, surely?
As JK Rowling pointed out, “We must not publish a study that says we're harming children because people who say we're harming children will use the study as evidence that we're harming children, which might make it difficult for us to continue harming children”.

THE DAILY MAIL: A study has revealed the shockingly high number of medals which trans-identified males have stolen from female athletes.
Reem Alsalem, the United Nations special rapporteur on violence against women and girls, compiled a study entitled ‘Violence against women and girls in sports’ which she presented to the UN General Assembly earlier this month.
The report reveals the huge number of female athletes who have lost medals to trans-identified male opponents, recording that over 600 female athletes have lost over 890 medals across 29 sports.
Reem Alsalem told the UN, “Women and girls already have many odds stacked against them that impede their equal and effective participation in sports. In addition, their ability to play sport in conditions of safety, dignity and fairness has been further eroded by the intrusion of males who identify as female in female-only sports and related spaces.”

IRISH INDEPENDENT: Barbie Kardashian has been found not guilty of threatening to kill and rape an officer and an inmate when held in a women’s prison.
We have written numerous times about the extremely violent and ‘homicidal’ trans-identified male, Barbie Kadashian. The 22-year-old has fifteen previous convictions for offences including sexual assault, assault causing harm, causing criminal damage to property and threats to kill. He attacked his own mother when he was just 10 years old and was subsequently remanded to special care at Coovagh House secure youth facility. There he displayed violent and ‘sexualized’ behavior towards female staff.
When he was 13 years old, Kardashian assaulted a female care worker who had been driving him home from a court appearance. Without warning or provocation, he attacked the woman from the back seat of the car, tearing her eyelids with his nails and pulling out clumps of her hair. He also wrapped his legs around the victim’s head and chest and bit her on the hand. He later told Gardaí officers that it had been music to his ears to hear the woman scream and cry. He is clearly a deeply troubled and dangerous young man.
Even though he has not received any hormone treatment or physical alteration, thanks to Ireland’s self-ID laws, Kardashian was able to change his legal sex to ‘female’ shortly before he left the secure unit in 2020. He is now officially a woman.
In May 2022, Kardashian was found guilty of seven counts of threatening to kill or cause serious harm to his mother. He was finally sentenced in March 2023 and will serve five and a half years in prison with the sentence backdated to May 2022.
Kardashian was originally incarcerated in Limerick’s female prison. However, following his repeated threats to rape and injure female staff members, he was transferred to a male facility in July 2023. According to a prison source who spoke to the Irish Mirror, Kardashian was deemed ‘extremely violent towards women’ and considered a ‘huge threat’ to both inmates and staff.
This week, Kardashian was in the dock again, appearing before Limerick Circuit Criminal Court on charges of threatening to kill or cause serious harm to two women.
Kardashian was accused of three counts of making a threat to kill or cause serious harm to Roisin Linnane, a prison officer at Limerick Women’s Prison. He was also accused of threatening Tegan McGhee, who was an inmate on the same wing at Limerick Women’s Prison when he was incarcerated there. The court heard that some of the threats Kardashian made involved rape or sexual assault.
Tegan McGhee told the court that Kardashian had threatened to rape her, saying, “I’m going to rape you so that you cannot have anymore children”. Her evidence was corroborated by prisoner officer, Aiden O’Meara, who testified that he had heard Kardashian threatening to rape Ms McGhee with an object. He added that Ms McGhee was “Visibly shaking, crying and clearly upset” following the altercation.
Under cross examination, Kardashian admitted to making this threat. He said, “I wanted to use an electric rod, but that wasn’t available to me. I remember thinking I wanted to use the handle of a sweeping brush or a mop. I wanted to torture her sexually, I wanted to sexually electrocute her genitalia”. When asked why he’d threatened to use an object to commit rape, he replied, “Because I am a woman, and women use objects, that’s why I said object… I hate having male genitalia and I would use an object to commit rape. If a woman wants to rape, that’s how I would commit rape.”
The Countess reported on the trial from Limerick Circuit Court and recorded excerpts of Roisin Linnane’s testimony from the witness box. The prison officer stated that, in April and June 2023, Kardashian threatened her with violence and sexual violence on multiple occasions. She testified that these threats included, “I will seriously assault you and rape you like my previous victims”, “I will rape you and molest you”, and “I will put my hands between your legs and rape you with an implement”.
Kardashian admitted that he had threatened Ms Linnane as well as Ms McGhee. He said he’d done so because he had become enraged and ‘snapped’ over rumours that were circulating about his leaving the showers in a dirty condition. He told the court that he had wanted to make the women suffer. “I wanted to punish them for life for making false allegations about me... I wanted revenge”.
The jury found Kardashian not guilty of all charges.
Throughout the reporting on this trial, most media outlets, including RTÉ, Ireland’s national broadcaster, have referred to Kardashian with female pronouns.
Sunday 27th October - First, Do No Harm
My thanks to one of our subscribers who sent me the photographs below. They were taken during her recent visit to a Bromley hospital which is part of the King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. This is the sight which greeted her on arrival.
She was then confronted with trans ideology in one of the hospitals’ main corridors; an entire wall documenting Pride flags through the decades with text that promotes gender woo.
“Trans is an umbrella for those whose gender identity or gender expression does not correspond to their sex assignment at birth”, reads one of the panels. Our publicly funded national health care provider is seriously validating the anti-science nonsense that sex is assigned at birth.
Furthermore, you will notice the reference to ‘American trans woman’ Monica Helms, the designer of the baby pink and baby blue ‘trans pride’ flag.
US Navy veteran and trans activist, Monica Helms, was formerly known as Robert Hogge. In his autobiography, More Than Just a Flag, Helms records that, as a young man, he would steal women’s underwear from the laundry room of his apartment complex and became sexually aroused when he was wearing the bras and panties he stole. Despite the protestation of his wife, Helms continued his cross-dressing sexual fetish long into his marriage and even after becoming a father. Eventually, in middle age, Helms abandoned his family in order to ‘transition’ and he began calling himself a lesbian. He has written ‘erotic’ short stories involving narratives of the ‘forced feminization’ of young men and featuring perpetually adolescent girls characters.
Helms really should not be celebrated on the walls of an NHS hospital.
The subscriber who contacted me was a patient at the hospital for a cervical pre-cancer surgery. While she says the staff were all lovely, this overt promotion of gender ideology left her feeling extremely angry and upset. It was the last thing she needed when just about to undergo her treatment.
As she put it, “This female-erasing bullshit is plastered all over the corridor that leads directly to a ward full of women whose bits are trying to kill them.” Quite.
See you next week.
I am staggered that the jury found Barbie Kadashian 'not guilty'! Is everyone insane?
I was convinced I was reading an error when I read “not guilty“, but then there it was again, and again, and again. WTAF?! He admitted it. He admitted the threats against both women. How could they find him not guilty?!
