Monday 27th April - This Never Happens #1
THE DAILY MAIL: A trans-identified male with convictions for sexual violence has been found guilty of assaulting his trans-identified male partner. He was referred to as a woman by the police, in court and throughout the media.
54-year-old Zara Jade is a serial sex offender. In 1988 he was imprisoned for five years for rape and other sexual offences. He was jailed again in 2013 for a further sexual offence.
This week he appeared at Bradford Crown Court over crimes committed last year. He abused his partner, another trans-identified male, tying him to a chair and slashing him in the arm and abdomen with a knife causing ‘superficial’ wounds. He also stole from the victim and took his debit card which, leaving him restrained and immobile, he then used to withdraw cash.
Jade admitted offences of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, robbery, fraud and false imprisonment. He was given a nine-year jail sentence of which he must serve two thirds before being considered for parole.
Jade is described as ‘currently transitioning’ (though his photograph clearly shows his substantial stubble growth) and he was referred to with female pronouns in court.
The press reported on this case describing Jade as a woman, using female pronouns and, in many cases, totally failing to mention his true sex or trans status.
For example, The Yorkshire Evening Post reported “Woman jailed at Bradford Crown Court”. The article makes no reference to Jade’s true sex and gives the erroneous impression that a woman committed these abusive and violent crimes.
The BBC reported “Halifax woman jailed after stabbing and tying up victim”. The accompanying article does briefly mention Jade’s trans identity, but the headline and Twitter post mislead readers into believing the perpetrator is a woman.
Examiner Live reported the case with the headline “Drunk woman ties victim to chair and stabs her”. The article does make a cursory mention of Jades’ ‘gender transition’ but, otherwise, implies throughout that he is a woman.
West Yorkshire Police were also eager to maintain the pretence and reported this case on their website with the headline “Woman jailed for multiple domestic abuse offences”.
The accompanying article on the website uses female pronouns throughout and makes no mention of Jade’s real sex or of his trans identity.
Tuesday 28th March - Tennessee Tragedy
THE TIMES: In heartbreaking news from Nashville, three staff members and three children were murdered at their school by a woman who believed herself to be a man.
28-year-old Audrey Elizabeth Hale was once a pupil at The Covenant School, a Christian primary school, in Nashville. On Monday, armed with two assault-style rifles and a pistol, she blasted her way into the school and roamed the corridors before she shot and killed three members of staff and three nine-year-old children.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy and sincere condolences to the families and friends of all the victims; school staff members, Katherine Koonce, Cynthia Peak and Mike Hill, and pupils, Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney.
Hale was shot and killed by the rapid response police officers called to the school.
What’s being described as a ‘manifesto’ of grievances was found in Hale’s car which was parked near the school. Speculating on her motive, Nashville police chief, John Drake, told NBC News, “There’s some belief that there’s some resentment to having to go to that school”. Speaking later to Fox News, Drake said that Hale was receiving medical treatment for “An emotional disorder.”
Hale identified as trans, often calling herself Aiden, and she used male pronouns.
Nevertheless, in reporting on this story, the media has referred to Hale by her female name and with either female pronouns or by carefully circumventing the use of any pronouns at all. Most outlets omitted any reference to her trans identity. This article from CNN, for example, manages to describe “What we know about Nashville shooter Audrey Hale”, without the use of pronouns and with only a cursory mention of her gender identity which, it claims, ‘is unclear’.
Similarly, the New York Times managed to produce an entire piece about Hale without mentioning her transgender identity an avoiding any pronouns.
Reuters managed the same feat.
As did The Guardian.
A trans-identified child murderer really doesn’t fit the ‘most oppressed’ narrative.
Trans activists, of course, have managed to twist this tragic story to somehow portray themselves as the victims.
They even staged a ‘die-in’ at the Tennessee capital, a hugely tasteless and insensitive stunt only days after the senseless murder of six people in the same state.
A Twitter account called Terror Alarm which has over 63,000 followers accused the police officers called to the The Covenant School of transphobia, lying about the tragic events there and ignoring the fact that the officers could not have known about Hale’s ‘gender identity’ at the time.
Trans activists must know that it is their side which shatters bones, attempts arson, hangs effigies of politicians from trees, destroys property, assaults elderly gay men, terrorises asylum seekers and abuse survivors, requires women to employ security guards and police escorts, purchases dangerous weapons, threatens to rape and murder, carries knives, violently assaults even elderly women, deliberately breaks women’s fingers, screams hate speech at LGBT rights veterans, assaults lesbians with lit flares, throws faeces at psychiatrists…
It is their side selling “Trans rights or else” t-shirts depicting assault rifles in trans pride colours.
It is their side dressing like guerrillas to intimidate women at public gatherings.
It is their side punching and injuring 72-year-old women.
And it is their side raising money for firearms to facilitate a so-called ‘Day of Vengeance’.

THE DAILY MAIL: A gay teacher at a comprehensive school described how he ‘stumbled into a minefield’ of gender ideology by starting an LGBT pupil group.
The teacher who, for obvious reasons, has to remain anonymous, is referred to in the article as ‘Harry’. He entered the profession a few years ago, still naive of the dangers of trans activism and believing in an ‘affirmation’ approach to children questioning their gender. But his eyes were opened when, thinking he could draw on his own experience of growing up gay to help his pupils, he started an LGBT club. “This was the moment I realised how troubling the trans mania sweeping our schools is”, he told The Daily Mail.
Harry described how students aged 11 to 18 “Were already steeped in gender-identity theory” and said they bombarded him “With a mind-boggling array of trans terminology that they had picked up online”. He said pupils behaved as though they were shopping around for different gender identities, their pronouns and names changing weekly, talked as if they were part of an exclusive club and discussed their desire to start hormone therapy at the Tavistock clinic. He realised his pupils had “Been integrated into online trans culture”.
It became clear to Harry that there were commonalities among the pupils who were identifying as transgender. None of them were clear to what they were ‘transitioning’, none of them had indicated having gender issues before coming to school and the idea of changing gender spread rapidly through friendship groups. Harry also said that one of his major concerns, “Was how many of the girls and boys who started changing their identities came from broken homes or difficult family situations. Others exhibited clear signs of being mentally unwell, or were recognised as having neuro- developmental conditions”.
Harry talked about the egregious influence of external trans lobby groups such as Mermaids and the fear teachers and parents have of being labelled ‘transphobic’ if they do not validate a child’s gender identity. “I know teachers in other schools who have lost their jobs because they ‘misgendered’ pupils”, he said.
“Having spoken to parents and friends, I don't think the public understands the grip gender ideology has on our schoolchildren. I was just as naive two years ago. But, having seen the scale of the problem, I feel I have a duty to raise the alarm for the sake of all those children who may be making a grave and permanent mistake.”
Wednesday 29th March - A Room of One’s Own
COWBOY STATE DAILY: A group of female students are suing their sorority society for admitting a trans-identified male to the Wyoming branch.
Universities in the USA and Canada operate sorority and fraternity chapters for their students, the purpose of which is to develop community and friendship. While individual fraternities and sororities vary, they all share the common elements of single sex membership and a shared residential property for undergraduates.
In September 2022, sorority Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) allowed a trans-identified male, Artemis Langford, to join. From the outset, his inclusion caused concern among many of KKP’s members, one of whom spoke anonymously to the press.
She said that chapter leaders had dismissed the concerns of those who felt uncomfortable with a male joining their sorority, pressuring them into accepting Langford’s membership by implying they’d be viewed as bigots if they refused. Furthermore, even though members were assured the vote would be anonymous, they were required to identify themselves with their email addresses during the online ballot. The source said that many young women would not speak out for fear of reprisals. She felt that the sorority’s leadership treated Langford like a protected class and had said that if any women had an issue with his inclusion, they could leave.
Now seven women, current and former sorority members, are suing Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) for allowing Langford to join. A legal complaint has been filed in the US District Court for Wyoming. It states that sororities promise members and prospective members a single-sex organization and a sisterhood intended to be a haven during their college years. “The Fraternity Council has betrayed the central purpose and mission of Kappa Kappa Gamma by conflating the experience of being a woman with the experience of men engaging in behavior generally associated with women.”
The complaint also alleges that Langdon - who stands six feet two inches tall and weighs approximately 260 lbs - behaved like a voyeur, watching sorority women when they were undressed and undressing, and he was often in an obvious state of sexual arousal.
Langdon currently lives outside of the sorority house, planning to move there during the coming year, but he often stays at the residence for meals and other sorority rituals and events. The doors to the house’s communal bathrooms do not lock and the main bathroom has only a communal area in which members undress before showering. The complaint alleges that Langford often sits on the couch in the common area in order to watch the women, stating that on one occasion he had an erection visible through his leggings and, at other times, he kept a pillow in his lap.
The complaint references a sorority slumber party at which Langford took photographs of the young women ‘at awkward moments’ without permission and questioned them about the appearance of their vaginas and breasts. He did not stay overnight but refused to leave until the others were asleep. He returned in the morning to stand silently in the corner of the room while the sorority sisters were getting dressed. One woman realised that Langford had been staring at her while she was topless and that he appeared sexually aroused with ‘his hands over his genitals’.
Thursday 30th March - Leave Them Kids Alone #2
A new report demonstrates the shocking extent to which children are indoctrinated into gender identity ideology in British schools.
‘Asleep at the Wheel’ is a damning new report from thinktank, Policy Exchange.
The report is the result of extensive research in which Policy Exchange sent Freedom of Information requests to a random selection of over 300 maintained secondary schools and academies in England. Its findings demonstrate the horrifying extent to which gender identity ideology has been allowed to infiltrate British secondary schools in direct contravention of standard safeguarding procedures.
Only 28% of secondary schools inform parents when children express feelings of gender distress with 33% per cent neglecting to inform their Designated Safeguarding Lead or a medical practitioner.
Four in ten secondary schools operate policies of gender self-ID for pupils.
A large number of schools are compromising single sex spaces with at least 28% failing to provide single sex toilets and 19% failing to provide single-sex changing rooms.
60% of schools are allowing children to participate on sports teams with the opposite sex.
69% schools require other children to affirm a fellow pupil’s new ‘gender identity’.
72% of schools are teaching gender ideology as fact in Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) lessons, 25% are teaching that it is possible to be ‘born in the wrong body’ and 30% are teaching that a person should be treated as the opposite sex in all circumstances if that’s how they ‘identify’.
The report also notes the influence of external agencies over school policies and the RSHE curriculum: “Over the last decade, external agencies with partisan (and sometimes overtly political) aims have received large amounts of government funding and, accordingly, have gained influence within the education sector. They have used this influence to embed contested gender identity beliefs within schools… Within society, schools play an indispensable part in children’s lives: in enabling them to learn and in keeping them safe. Decisions made in the absence of parental consent and democratic consensus as the result of contested political ideas must not interfere with this essential role.”

THE TIMES: A podcast about a three-year-old ‘trans child’ is being promoted to Scottish teachers as part of an education resource.
‘How to be a Girl’ focuses on a little boy who was ‘transed’ at three years old. It is being promoted to Scottish teachers as a study aid for children as young as nine.
In the first episode of the podcast, Marlo Mack (a pseudonym) describes how her three-year-old told her that he is really a little girl. She says, “I finally let my little boy go. We switched to female pronouns and told our family and friends that she was a girl now.” It ends with Mack saying, “If a girl can be a senator or an astronaut or a plumber, if a girl can wear pants and have short hair, if a girl can even have a penis, what is a girl anyway? Who gets to decide if you’re a boy or a girl?” The little boy replies, “Me!”
There are over 30 episodes of the podcast which take the form of a dialogue between mother and son, following the child’s development from pre-school age to early adolescence. It has also been published in the form of a memoir with a forward by none other than the erstwhile head of Mermaids, Susie Green.
The podcast was recommended to Scottish teachers by Relationships Sexual Health Parenthood (RSHP), an organisation which provides advice on behalf of the Scottish government.
Friday 31st March - This Never Happens
REDUXX: A trans-identified male has been convicted of sexually abusing a fifteen-year-old girl.
A 36-year-old Spanish man, known only as ‘Juan’ to protect his victim, has been convicted of sexually abusing a 15-year-old girl.
According to Spanish news outlet, El Español, Juan began identifying as transgender just weeks before his initial court appearance in 2022. He began calling himself Irene and he changed his legal gender marker at the civil register’s office. Andalusian law does not require any medical or psychological diagnosis of gender dysphoria, nor does it require any surgical alteration or hormone treatment, in order for someone to legally change their sex.
Juan was originally convicted of ‘the continued crime of sexual assault on a minor under 16 years of age’ and given a ten-year prison sentence and a fine of €12,000 to be paid to the victim.
However, following an appeal, the Andalusian High Court reduced the charges to ‘continued crime of sexual abuse aggravated by the prevailing relationship of superiority’ and Juan’s prison sentence was cut down to 5 years and his fine lowered to €7,000.
Juan is intending a further appeal in an attempt to avoid a prison sentence altogether. If unsuccessful, in accordance with Spain’s self-ID law, he will serve his sentence in a women’s prison.

BBC: Helen Webberley has won her appeal and is free to practice medicine again.
Helen Webberley has featured on this site on many previous occasions. In 2017 it was discovered that her child gender clinic was operating without a licence and she was suspended by the General Medical Council. In 2018 she was found guilty of providing healthcare services illegally and fined £12,000.
In 2019 Webberleys’ clinic was connected to the death of teenager, Jayden Lowe, who had purchased testosterone from it online only a few months before tragically taking her own life. Webberley and her husband, Michael, moved their operation to Spain and their clinic, GenderGP, remained in business, operating online and offshore. In February 2021, The Telegraph discovered that GenderGP was supplying cross-sex hormones to minors without their parents’ knowledge or consent.
In May 2022 Michael Webberley was struck off after facing 89 separate charges. The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service ruled that his actions were ‘fundamentally incompatible with being a doctor’ and amounted to ‘serious misconduct’. It handed down its most severe sanction, erasing him from the medical register.
Helen Webberley’s medical tribunal concluded in April 2022 with the panel finding that 36 of the allegations made against her had been proven and determining that she had committed serious misconduct. This week, however, a High Court judge upheld her appeal against that decision and she can now return to work medicalising vulnerable children.
Saturday 1st April - A Level Playing Field
THE DAILY MAIL: A trans-identified American male is dominating an Australian women’s football league and causing injury to other players.
An American-born trans-identified male has been dominating a female soccer league in New South Wales. According to the article, he topped Football NSW’s League One Women's 1st Grade goal kickers table with a total of seven goals. Furthermore, there are allegations that he has caused serious injuries to opposition players, with one reportedly requiring hospital treatment.
Despite being inundated by complaints, Football NSW, which governs the sport, refuses to address concerns over the inclusion of trans-identified males on female teams. Kirralie Smith, a spokeswoman for Binary Australia, told the paper that she has spent months trying to speak with officials at the organisation. “They have failed in safeguarding fairness and safety for girls and women”, she said.
The Daily Mail has chosen not to reveal the name of the male player in question and pixelated his face in its pictures. However, his identity is easily discovered as he posted photographs used by The Daily Mail to his Instagram account.
It turns out the entitled man dominating a women’s football league is none other than trans activist ‘male lesbian’, Riley J Dennis, who preaches that ‘genital preferences’ are transphobic and advocates for the medicalisation of gender-confused children.
Sunday 2nd March - The Clocks Are Striking 13 At City University
THE TIMES: A female gender critical academic is taking legal action against City, University of London over claims of harassment, victimisation and whistleblowing detriment.
Dr Laura Favaro is a Spanish sociologist and former teacher. In 2020 she joined City, University of London as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, intending to investigate the disputes around sex and gender that have escalated dramatically since the 2010s. Being ‘gender critical’ herself, she has been ostracised, subjected to false complaints, suffered the cessation of her research, been robbed of her data and lost her job.
Dr Favaro has collected substantial data on the ‘gender wars’ in academia. This includes the testimonies of female academics who are too afraid to express their views or even to work in gender studies at all, concerned not only for their jobs and careers, but also fearful of violence and risks to their children’s safety. Her data also involves admissions from those who actively support the censoring and persecution of gender-critical academics both in Britain and abroad.
Having previously enjoyed good relationships with her senior colleagues at City, Dr Favaro was ‘frozen out’ after her colleagues became aware of her initial research findings and because she refused to the deny the data. The situation deteriorated further when, in September 2022, some of her findings were published in a Times Higher Education article called Researchers are wounded in academia's gender wars.
Following the article’s publication, City University received (baseless) complaints about Dr Favaro’s research methods. An investigation found no wrongdoing on her part but, she says, “Further such baseless accusations have been taken at face value, leading to the suspension of my research, and the withdrawal of access to my data… I have been told at City that the university considers my research data to be dangerous, that it is frightened of having the findings made public, that it does not want to become involved in the sex and gender debate – and that things would have been different if I believed that ‘trans women are women’”.
Over the last three years Dr Favaro has endured ostracization by the Gender & Sexualities Research Centre, the withdrawal of line management support and academic mentorship, the pursuit of vexatious complaints, attempts to persuade her to destroy her research, bullying by a senior colleague, the withholding of full access to data she collected, attempts to prevent her from making her data public, the locking of the email account via which she contacted her survey participants, requests that she return her research data and dismissal by reason of redundancy.
She has now instructed a legal team and is taking City University to an Employment Tribunal. If you would like to contribute to her crowdfunder to help with her legal costs, you can do so here.
“This is not just about me, but rather a ubiquitous reality in academia with very serious implications and very many victims. My qualitative research points to a toxic culture across academia on the topic of sex and gender, with significant effects including the voluntary or forced departure of academics from their field, their institution or even their profession altogether.
This is not just affecting those academics with firm feminist or gender-critical views, but also those who support gender identity theory or transgender activism but wish to ask questions about certain elements or simply engage in discussion. I hope for my case to contribute to putting an end to this culture – for feminist or gender-critical academics, as well as for everyone else.”
The vehement attempts to shut it down make clear how vital Dr Favaro’s research is. As George RR Martin wrote, “When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say”.
See you next week.
So when a man commits a violent crime, they call him a woman. Not even a trans woman. Just a woman.
When an angry, politicised young woman kills 6, including 3 tiny children, they call her a woman. Not even a trans man. Just a woman.
Doesn't that just say it all!
Pumping females full of testosterone is asking for trouble. An already evidently ill young woman was made considerably worse by testosterone. Detransitioners have been telling the public about the effects on them of taking these cross-sex hormones, and have been warning that they are making girls aggressive on a scale never seen before. This really does not surprise me one bit, although I feel heart sorry for the innocent people killed for no reason at all, except that some deranged young women decided that they should die in order to assuage her own suffering.
It is way past time when e should all be stressing the sexual aggression underlying the 'trans' phenomenon. It is all about sex and fetishism. That cannot be stressed enough. So sick of the usual 'just be kind' narrative from con artists posing as 'trans' 'women' who are interested solely in their own sexual feelz. This 'genuine trans' guff is just that - guff - because none of them give a toss about women and children. I do feel some sympathy for men who cannot live as themselves, and they can get surgery, do as they please, but - and it is huge BUT - they have no right to access female spaces, jobs, sports, healthcare, etc. None. If they insist that they do not want third spaces, that is a massive red flag that sex/fetishism is involved in their so-called 'trans' idenity. They know perfectly well that they are not 'trans' because no one can change sex: they are men larping as women for a very special purpose, and that purpose bodes no good for females of any age or nationality.
Incidentally, a man larping as a woman and living with another man also larping as a woman is a homosexual male, as is his partner. Two homosexual males who cannot accept that that is what they are, so they deliberately harm women along the way. In fact, the one who did the injuring must be bisexual, as, presumably he has harmed females in the past, or was it males? Not clear. These people are so dense. They entertain all kinds of ridiculous and unreal identities but cannot work out for themselves what they actually are. Incredible.
