A Week in the War on Woman: Monday 27th November - Sunday 3rd December

Monday 27th November - The kids are not alright

THE TELEGRAPH: The number of children taking puberty blockers has doubled in the past year despite a supposed embargo on prescribing them.

In February 2021, the British Medical Journal reported on the findings of the Tavistock’s own puberty blockers trial. It found that the drugs did not alleviate the negative thoughts of children with dysphoria and issued warnings over their potential side effects. “Puberty blockers used to treat children aged 12 to 15 who have severe and persistent gender dysphoria had no significant effect on their psychological function, thoughts of self-harm, or body image... However, as expected, the children experienced reduced growth in height and bone strength by the time they finished their treatment at age 16.”

The Interim Cass Review was published in March 2022 and its comments about the affirmation approach of the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) at the NHS Tavistock & Portman clinic were damning. It acknowledged the significance of rapid-onset gender dysphoria, the link between dysphoria and co-morbidities, the rapid increase in teenage girls experiencing gender issues, the limitations of an 'affirmation-only' approach, the lack of evidence regarding medication and the insufficient follow-up information on patients.

Dr Cass, former president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, warned that puberty blockers may permanently disrupt the brain maturation of adolescents, potentially damaging neural circuits irreversibly. In July 2022, NHS England acknowledged all of Dr Cass’s recommendations, agreeing that puberty blockers should only be prescribed as part of clinical trials, “Due to the significant uncertainties surrounding the use of hormone treatments”.

However, despite the NHS promise to clamp down on their use, The Telegraph has revealed that the number of children being prescribed puberty blockers has doubled during the past year. At least 100 children – some as young as 12 – have been prescribed puberty blockers since July 2022.

Stephanie Davies-Arai of Transgender Trend commented, “How many more children will be given blockers before they stop? I don’t understand how the NHS can sit back and let this continue when they know the harms that were described in Dr Cass’s interim report.”

Tuesday 28th November - How To Obscure Male Violence

REDUXX: A trans-identified male is suspected of murdering his trans-identified female partner, resulting in inaccurate reporting by both police and media.

On November 26th police were called to an address in Porsgrunn, Norway, where a heterosexual couple was involved in a domestic dispute. Although the female present required medical treatment, officers decided not to intervene. Only a few hours later, the police returned to the address where critical injuries had now been inflicted on the young woman. She was rushed to hospital but did not survive. Her male partner was subsequently charged with murder and taken into custody.

From the outset, there was confusion over the sex of the victim and the suspect. Most initial reports stated that a man had been arrested in connection with the murder of another man. Ground News, for example, reported that the murderer was a man, but that he had murdered ‘his husband’. Similarly, Norway Posten also reported the sex of the suspect accurately as male but falsely stated that the victim, too, was a man.

When it became known that the suspect ‘identifies as a woman’, news outlets were scrambling to alter their coverage. Dagbladet embedded a notice into its original article to say, “In an earlier version of this article, Dagbladet referred to the accused as a man …. This information was later changed to the fact that the accused wants to be referred to as a woman”. The article erroneously reports that the female victim was a man.

Norway’s oldest newspaper, Adresseavisen, reported this story stating that a woman had killed a man.

Online news outlet, Nettavisen, also reported that the suspect is a woman.

It wasn’t only the Norwegian media desperate to pander to the murder suspect’s gender identity. It seems the police were also quick to alter their version of events after initially reporting that the suspect is male.

News stations, such as NRK altered their articles to refer to the suspect as a woman in response to the police adherence to gender identity over the reality of sex.

NKR issued a correction which stated, “The police initially reported that it was a man who had been arrested and suspected of the murder. This morning, the police changed the charge to a woman for the murder.”

In January 2021 Norway expanded its penal code to include ‘gender, gender identity or expression’ in hate crime protections. Consequently, there have been several criminal investigations of people accused of hate crimes for correctly referring to the sex of a trans-identified male.

This may explain the desperate scrabbling of both the police and the media - institutions on which we should be able to rely for the truth - to affirm the gender identity of a man suspected of killing his female partner.

Wednesday 29th November - Glasgow’s Not So Feminist Library

THE TELEGRAPH: A supposedly feminist library in Glasgow marked an event about preventing male violence against women by exhibiting placards used by trans activists.

Glasgow Women’s Library (GLA) boasts on its website that it is “The only accredited museum in the UK dedicated to women’s lives, histories and achievements” and claims that “Our vision is of a world in which every woman is able to fulfil her potential and where women’s historical, cultural and political contributions to society are fully recognised, valued and celebrated”.

However, the erroneously named library includes males in its definition of ‘women’ and is inclusive of ‘transgender women and other marginalised genders’ at supposedly female-only events.

25th November is the International Day to End Violence Against Women (IDEVAW) and marks the start of 16 Days of Activism, a global period of campaigning to highlight and challenge sex-based violence against women and girls.

This year Glasgow Women’s Library marked a day centering females with an exhibition of ‘protest placards’ which promote gender ideology and prioritise trans-identified males over the rights of women.

It has been suggested that some of the placards featured in the exhibition were used by the trans activists who tried to shut down a feminist conference in Glasgow last month.

When FiLiA held its 2023 conference in the city in October, trans activists protested outside the venue from 8.30am in the morning. They were led by drag performer, Tom Harlow, the self-styled ‘Cabaret Against Hate’.

The trans activists intimidated women attending the event (as well as upsetting commuters).

Over 1,000 delegates from around the world gathered at FiLiA to discuss issues such as femicide, male violence against women and girls, sexual exploitation and FGM. Meanwhile, outside the event, Tom Harlow lead the trans activist mob in singing “Fuck you very, very much” at them.

Glasgow Women’s Library proclaims, “We provide a safe welcoming space”. For people like Tom, perhaps. For women who need a female-only environment, not so much.

REDUXX: A ‘non-binary queer’ artist has been sentenced to 90 months in prison after being caught arranging to rape a nine-year-old in an FBI sting operation.

36-year-old Efrem Zelony-Mindell, a writer, painter and photography curator, was a prominent figure on New York City’s art scene. In December 2022 he was arrested in an FBI paedophile sting operation. Using an encrypted messaging service, he contacted an undercover agent who was posing as the father of a 9-year-old son offering his child for sexual abuse.

While corresponding with undercover officers, Zelony-Mindell sent images depicting extreme child sexual abuse and stated that he wanted to drug and rape the 9-year-old boy. A meeting was arranged and, on his arrival at the agreed address in Manhattan, Zelony-Mindell was arrested. His phone was found to contain over 2,400 items of child sexual abuse material, including some which featured toddlers. He was subsequently found guilty of distributing child pornography and, on 14th November, he was sentenced to 90 months in prison.

Zelony-Mindell identifies as ‘non-binary queer’ and uses they/them pronouns. But he’s a man. Yet another male predator who seems to have leaped on an ideology that erases the safeguarding protocols that keep women and children safe.

Thursday 30th November - Gender Bending The Rules

Young women and girls in Australia are being prescribed taxpayer-subsidised testosterone thanks to a loophole which means they can be treated for a male-specific condition.

Journalist Bernard Lane reported on a horrifying medical scandal in Australia this week. According to new data from the federal Department of Health and Aged Care, over the last year, an estimated 1,433 females under the age of 34 were prescribed government-funded testosterone, supposedly to treat a testicular disorder. The drugs were supplied purportedly for an androgen deficiency. But this is a disorder, usually caused by the testicles not functioning normally, which only affects males.

This deeply concerning trend seems to have resulted from a little-known change in regulations which removed the requirement that patients undergoing this treatment must be male. Of course, this alteration in the rules was pressed for by an LGBTIQ+ lobby group amid complaints of discrimination. Now trans-identifying females can access a public subsidy, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS), to fund synthetic testosterone to masculinize their bodies. (There is no PBS-funded testosterone listed to treat gender dysphoria.)

Bernard Lane points out, “This use of testosterone is off-label, meaning the drug is not approved as a gender treatment by the Therapeutic Goods Administration”.

Girls and young women - some only fourteen years old - are playing the system to poison their bodies with off-label hormones, funded by the Australian tax-payer. And it’s all down to an LGBTQ+ lobby group.

Also Today - A Level Playing Field

REDUXX: A 17-year-old high school girl sustained a serious concussion after playing volleyball against a team that included a trans-identified male opponent.

Luis (a pseudonym) is a concerned father in California who spoken to Reduxx about an incident concerning his teenage daughter.

The 17-year-old girl was playing high school volleyball against a team from Half Moon Bay High School in October this year. The opposing team included a trans-identified male player. Reduxx have reported that the boy in question is Aaron Lester, the son of California musician. John Lester. and social justice activist. Lisa Phelan.

Luis was chatting with another parent when the game suddenly came to a hault. He turned to see his daughter holding her head and being led out of the gymnasium. The other parent told him that his daughter had been hit been hit by ‘that boy’.

During a medical assessment by Half Moon Bay officials, Luis’ daughter reported blurry vision and head pain and later had to seek medical attention. A doctor confirmed that she was suffering with a serious concussion and she was subsequently unable able to play volleyball for the remainder of her senior year.

Luis arranged a meeting with school district administrators but was told that nothing could be done to prevent trans-identified males from playing on female sports teams.

He told Reduxx, “If I say something out loud, will my kid be ostracized at school? If I don’t say anything, will I be silently accepting boys playing against girls at schools? Are there parents that would shame me and my family for saying anything? Don’t get me wrong, I have empathy for the boy. I don’t know what it feels like for someone to be born male and not identify with that. Life must be difficult. But at what point does someone’s gender dysphoria cross the empathy boundary? In my case when my daughter was injured.”

Friday 1st December - Fox In The Henhouse

KRVN: A Title IX investigation has been opened into an incident involving a trans-identified male sexually harassing teenage girls at a Wisconsin school.

Earlier this year we reported on allegations that underage girls were forced to share their school bathroom with a naked man.

In April The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) wrote to the Sun Prairie Area Board of Education alleging that four 14 year old girls had to shower with a naked trans-identified male at Sun Prairie East High School.

According the letter, the girls had just completed a swimming lesson and went into the changing room. They encountered a male who they understood to be trans and who they thought had used the female facilities before. The girls were uncomfortable but proceeded to use the shower, keeping their swimming costumes on.

The male then moved over to the shower area. Declaring “I’m trans by the way”, he took off his clothes and, completely naked, entered the shower. He stood right next to one of the girls, his male genitalia on full view to all four of them.

In June WILL filed a federal complaint claiming that the Sun Prairie Area Board of Education failed to protect the girls by neglecting to implement policies pertaining to transgender students’ use of facilities or to contact a Title IX officer after the alleged incident was reported. The US Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has now agreed to investigate Sun Prairie's handling of the alleged incident.

REDUXX: A trans-identified male teenager has pleaded guilty to a felony offence after planning to carry out a school shooting.

On 31st March police were called to the home of 19-year-old William Whitworth. His sister had phoned the police saying that he was behaving violently and threatening to ‘shoot up a school’. Police officers discovered Whitworth drunk in his room. When they asked him if he intended to carry out a school shooting, he nodded in reply.

Officers searching the premises discovered a ‘manifesto’ containing instructions on making bombs and firearms with a 3D printer and photos depicting a make-shift bomb and detonation device. Whitworth also had a whiteboard containing drawings and floor plans of several schools he intended to target in Colorado Springs. While speaking to police, Whitworth stated he had used YouTube for information on making bomb detonation devices and told them he also intended to target churches.

When police officers asked Whitworth why he wanted to commit mass murder, he replied that there was ‘no specific reason’.

Whitworth was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, menacing, criminal mischief and interference with staff, faculty or students of educational institutions. He was originally held on a $75,000 bond but, while in prison it is reported that he told a prison official he intended to carry out his plans if out on bond. Consequently, his bond was increased to $750,000.

In November, Whitworth accepted a plea agreement and pleaded guilty to Second-Degree Assault, a felony offence. He will be sentenced on 19th January and faces up to sixteen years imprisonment.

Whitworth identifies as trans and calls himself Lily. According to a spokesperson from the District Attorney's Office for the area, he is “In the process of transitioning from male to female”. He is referred to with female pronouns throughout the police arrest report. But we recognise a dangerous, violent man when we see one.

Saturday 2nd December - An Unsporting Chance

DAILY MAIL: A trans-identified male won a women’s half marathon with a self-acknowledged sub-par performance.

Kae Luci Ravichandran is a trans-identified male athlete. Earlier this year he won the inaugural non-binary category at the Boston Marathon. He’s now competing in female events and this week he stole first place at a New York state half marathon in Albany, running in the women’s race.

Ravichandran ‘beat’ the runner up (and true winner), Amanda Aussems, by a full six minutes. To add insult to injury, he then had the audacity to disparage his own performance after the race, commenting, “Embarrassingly slow, gave up after mile 5 because my tendon was acting up. Very out of shape. I'll take the win tho”.

Responding to criticism on Instagram, Ravichandran wrote, “This is so dumb, I ran a 71-minute half marathon pre-oestrogen, less than two weeks after a marathon. For this totally fresh half, I ran 84 minutes. I've become way slower – like 18%, my body is physiologically a woman's body now”.

It is deeply concerning that Ravichandran has such a poor grasp of human biology, given that he is a medical student at Larner College. You would expect him to be well aware of all the scientific evidence which demonstrates that, even after reducing testosterone levels, males retain numerous physical and physiological advantages over women and any loss of muscle mass and strength is negligible.

Sunday 3rd December - I Can’t Believe It’s Not Satire

THE TELEGRAPH: NHS patients are being asked their ‘gender identity’ from a list of over ten different choices.

Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Trust is sending its patients an online form to complete, asking them to select their ‘gender identity’ from a drop-down list of almost a dozen options including demiboy, genderfluid, questioning, agender, non-binary and transgender male/female. Patients can also select options ‘other’ and ‘another gender identity not listed here’.

Oncologist, Professor Karol Sikora, underwent a small procedure at one of the trust’s hospitals. When contacted to attend a follow-up appointment, he was sent this form and instructed to complete it online. Professor Sikora told The Telegraph, “It’s ridiculous that we’re spending money on this.”

Maya Forstater of Sex Matters commented, “These kinds of forms are off-putting for many people. It is the opposite of inclusion to make things hard to understand. Hospitals should be clear what sex everybody is and stop making patients and healthcare professionals deal with this nonsense.” She told the paper, “It is absolutely crucial that healthcare providers don’t get confused about what sex people are, for their own safety.”

Indeed. In a clinical setting, obfuscating a patient’s sex can have serious consequences and, tragically, even prove fatal.

See you next week.
