THE DAILY MAIL: Two prominent women’s rights campaigners have left Humanists UK over its opposition to clarifying the Equality Act 2010.
Humanists UK is a secular charity that claims to “Make sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence”. And yet it has chosen to prioritise gender identity - an entirely faith-based ideology reliant on wholly subjective and unquantifiable feelings - over the reality of biological sex.
Humanists UK is vehemently opposed to the government clarifying the definition of sex in the 2010 Equality Act in order to protect women’s rights and spaces. Instead, the organisation is actively campaigning against such clarification. Ahead of the parliamentary debate, the charity published a briefing full of disinformation and hyperbole. The language, says Joan Smith, “Is straight from the trans activist playbook”.
Both Joan Smith and Baroness Dianne Hayter, two long-standing women’s rights campaigners, have resigned as patrons from Humanists UK with the latter commenting that the organisation has ‘lost the plot’.
This is certainly an about-turn for Humanists UK. Only five years ago they expressed unequivocal support for maintaining women’s sex-based protections under the Equality Act 2010.
Responding to the Gender Recognition Act consultation in 2018, LGBT Humanists insisted that “This is not proposed to – and should not – lead to any reduction in legal protections on grounds of sex”. The chair, Lizzie Streeter, even commented that, “We support this on the understanding that… existing Equality Act protections on the grounds of sex will be maintained”.
Now Humanists UK seem determined to sacrifice women’s rights at the altar of gender identity.
Their briefing on the proposed clarifications to the Equality Act 2010 claims that there is no legal definition of biological sex and that women can be defined in a way that includes males. So much for the ‘logic, reason, and evidence’ they espouse.

THE POST MILLENNIAL: A trans-identified male has been allowed to play in a women’s rugby league, directly contravening the governing body’s policy.
In February 2020, rugby union’s governing body, World Rugby, held a landmark transgender workshop at which leading independent experts presented the latest research on the inclusion of trans-identified male rugby players in the female game.
World Rugby subsequently concluded:
"The latest peer-reviewed research confirms that a reduction of testosterone does not lead to a proportionate reduction in mass, muscle mass, strength or power. These important determinants of injury risk and performance remain significantly elevated after testosterone suppression… This presents a clear safety risk when transgender women play women's contact rugby.”
Consequently, in October 2020, World Rugby updated its transgender policy to prevent trans-identified males from playing on women’s teams:
“Because of the size, force, and power-producing advantages conferred by testosterone during puberty and adolescence, and the resultant player welfare risks this creates.”
Nevertheless, despite the overwhelming evidence that he will compromise safety and fairness, a trans-identified male has been allowed to play in a US women’s league.
The Premiere Rugby Sevens, an American rugby league, is holding its Eastern Conference kickoff this week and trans-identified male, Emma Farnan, has been given a place on the women’s team.
Farnan is a ‘prop’, a position usually occupied by the biggest and burliest of players. Known as a team’s ‘battering ram’, ‘props’ use their weight, size and strength to engage head-to-head in a scrum and try to win the ball from opposition players.
Formerly known as Emmett, Farnan was a successful track and field athlete in high school. Now he claims that hormone treatment has rendered him ‘a shell’ of his former athletic self and alleges that he has no physical advantage over female players.
Farnan is wrong; all of the scientific evidence 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. Furthermore, there is a 20%-30% greater risk of injury to a female rugby player when she is tackled by a male, however that male ‘identifies’.
Tuesday 13th June - Violent Male Goes Scot Free
RNZ NEWS: The man who punched an elderly woman at Auckland’s Standing For Women event has avoided court and escaped a criminal record.
Earlier this year, violent trans rights activists derailed a Standing For Women event in Auckland.
The SFW Auckland event in March was besieged by a mob. They chanted aggressive, expletive-laden slogans, held aloft signs bearing threats and insults, overturned barriers, and intimidated and assaulted stewards and attendees.
Footage from the event shows an elderly woman being punched in the face several times by a bearded male. Known as Emily Steel (a pseudonym), it later transpired that the woman assaulted is a working class grandmother from Leicestershire who had spent every penny she had to travel to New Zealand for the SFW event.
Emily sustained an obvious injury to her eye.
A 20-year-old man was subsequently arrested for common assault and appeared in court in April. He was granted an interim name suppression and will be allowed to maintain his anonymity until the end of the legal proceedings.
He was due to appear in court this week. However, he was accepted onto the police diversion scheme so his appearance was not required.
Police diversion is a scheme whereby offenders can circumvent a court prosecution and avoid a criminal record if they fulfill certain criteria.
This does not seem like an appropriate way to deal with a violent man who repeatedly punched an elderly woman in the face.

DAILY MAIL US: A prestigious American university has been accused of lesbian erasure in its ‘woke’ new inclusive language guide.
Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins University doesn’t seem to understand what a lesbian is.
Although the offensive wording has since been removed, a newly produced LGBTQ+ glossary had defined the word ‘lesbian’ as “A non-man attracted to non-men”. Conversely, gay men were still clearly defined in male terms.
The department responsible for this lesbian-erasing glossary was the LGBTQ+ Equity and Education Programme. The programme director is a trans-identified male, Paula Neira, who claims that he has ‘always been a woman’ and was ‘assigned male at birth’ by a doctor ‘who didn’t know any better’.
Hard to believe Neira works for a university which is hailed as one of the best medical institutions in the world.

REDUXX: A trans activist male who poured human urine all over the steps of the EHRC performed at publicly-funded Tate Britain with his genitals on view.
Last September we reported on a trans activist who protested the existence of female-only spaces by fouling a pavement and pouring urine over his own head.
As reported by VICE magazine, the man is part of a group called Pissed Off Tr*nnies. He deposited 60 bottles of stale urine outside the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) in London. The stunt was intended to protest the EHRC’s so-called ‘transphobic agenda’ ie its guidelines that businesses and public organisations can legally exclude trans-identified male people from female-only spaces.
The male activist, wearing a fright mask and a sheer dress through which his genitalia was visible, urinated on the pavement and then poured a bottle of urine over himself while shouting, “The EHRC has blood on its hands and piss on its streets”. He also poured urine right outside the entrance to the EHRC building.
The perpetrator was later revealed to be a man called Jamie Cottle who describes himself as a ‘non-binary transfemme interdisciplinary artist’ and uses the handle ‘biogal’ online.
His ‘work’ seems to consist of him writhing, shouting and flashing his genitals.
Last week Cottle was invited to take part in an event at Tate Britain, Queer and Now, which was advertised as a “Festival dedicated to the powerful role of LGBTQIA+ art and culture in the UK”. Gay rights activist and feminist ally, Mr Menno, attended the event and detailed his findings in a Twitter thread.
Cottle and two other trans-identified males, June Bellebono and Carly Yvoty Fernandez, read excerpts from their own work, Oestro Generation. This publication is described as “A platform highlighting transfeminine voices in the UK” and features website content which is overtly sexual and advocates for the sex industry.
Cottle was wearing lace-topped stockings, suspenders and white women’s panties through which his male genitals were clearly visible. The words ‘sugar money’ were written across his crotch.
The Tate has full charitable status and raises funds through donations and legacies. It is also in receipt of government funding via sponsorship from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). This is how it spends its money.

THE TELGRAPH: A trans-identified male exposed his fake ‘breasts’ at a White House family-friendly Pride event.
27-year-old Rose Montoya, is a trans identified male model and TikTok ‘influencer’. According to The Daily Mail, while he has had various ‘feminisation’ surgeries - breast augmentation, a trachea shave (to remove his Adam's apple) and genioplasty (to refine his chin), he has not had any genital surgery.
This week he was invited to a Pride celebration at the White House attended by hundreds of people including families. Montoya met US president, Joe Biden, and told him “Trans rights are human rights”.
Later in the day, whilst standing on the White House South Lawn with friends, Montoya exposed his ‘breasts’ and posed for photographs. He was standing alongside two trans-identified females who were also topless, displaying their mastectomy scars. In video footage of the incident, Montoya can be seen with his dress pulled down to his waist and ‘jiggling’ his own ‘breasts’ with his hands.
A White House spokesman said that Montoya was ‘inappropriate and disrespectful’ and will not be invited to future White House events. Montoya later uploaded a video to TikTok to defend his behaviour, commenting, “I was simply living in joy, living my truth and existing in my body”. He went to ask, “Why is my chest now deemed inappropriate or illegal when I show it off, however before coming out as trans it was not?”, adding, “All you’re doing is affirming that I am a woman.”
Wednesday 14th June - Mayoral Madness
LBC: Employees at the Mayor of London’s office have been discouraged from using sex-specific language, even in reference to menstruation.
City Hall’s new inclusivity guide instructs civil service staff at Sadiq Khan’s office not to use sex-specific language, claiming that words such as ‘male’ and ‘female’ are “Dated and medicalised”. The document advises, for example, “Instead of ‘ladies and gentlemen’ say something that doesn’t exclude non-binary people”.
Furthermore, staff have been told not to refer specifically to women when discussing menstruation issues such as period poverty. Instead, they are advised to use ‘gender neutral’ terms when talking about ‘people’ who have periods.
Miriam Cates MP branded the guidelines as absurd. “The whole point of language is that it is commonly understood by those who use it”, she said. “When language is corrupted by elites without popular consensus, our shared culture is weakened and common sense is sacrificed… This taxpayer-funded guidance is in conflict with fact, reality and the law.”

REDUXX: A trans-identified male with a history of violence has been sentenced to 20 years after threatening to murder his probation officer and a court judge.
29-year-old Theodore ‘Tiffany’ Howell is a trans-identified male from Benton County in Arkansas and described as having a history of “Extreme violence towards the public and law enforcement”.
In 2018 he was charged with 2nd degree battery on a police officer, resisting arrest, and public intoxication. Found unfit to proceed with the trial, he was remanded to the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services. Eventually he was sentenced to 72 months probation and 120 days in the county jail.
In 2020 Howell pleaded guilty to making terrorist threats after threatening to kill his probation officer, Andrea Griggs. He was arrested again soon after when he walked into Bentonville Police Department carrying a large knife. He was charged with terroristic threatening in the 1st degree, criminal use of prohibited weapons, carrying a weapon, and possessing an instrument of crime. Again, he pleaded guilty.
This week he was handed a 20 year prison sentence after threatening to murder both his probation officer, Nathan Jeffery, and Judicial Judge, Brad Karren. In a series of messages to the Bentonville Police Department, Howell made numerous violent threats targeting Jeffrey and Judge Karren.
He wrote “Fuck you Arkansas your [sic] mean to trans people”. He went on to describe Judge Karren as a “Transphobic asshole piece of shit monster”, saying that he intended to “Kill that fucker with a knife… I will literally hit him with a hammer and then run away”.
Thursday 15th June - Erasing Women In Queensland
DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA: Queensland has just passed legislation which renders biological sex meaningless and erases women’s rights.
New laws just passed in the Australian state of Queensland will allow people to alter their legal sex, even changing the sex marker on the birth certificate, without any medical intervention or diagnosis.
Horrifyingly, this legislation will apply to children under the age of sixteen; minors will be able to legally change their sex, either through applications to the register or to the Children’s Court by their parent or guardian.
Children aged as young as twelve can change their sex even without their parents’ permission, as long as they have been assessed by “A developmentally informed practitioner who has an established, professional relationship with them”.
Furthermore, this legislation will no longer require someone to have a sex marker on their birth certificate. Instead there will be an ‘opt in’ approach so those who wish to include their sex on their birth certificate will need to request it. In addition, parents can register on their child’s birth certificate as mother, father or simply a ‘parent’.
The reality of biological sex has effectively been erased in Queensland and, with it, women’s rights and safety.
Friday 16th June - Saying The Quiet Part Loud
America’s leading civil liberties organisation has expressed more concern for a death row convict’s ‘gender identity’ than for the women he raped and murdered.
This week convicted rapist and murderer, Duane Owen, was executed in Florida for crimes he committed in Palm Beach County almost 40 years ago.
In March 1984, Owen broke into a house where 14-year-old Karen Slattery was babysitting two small children. He attacked her, raping her repeatedly and fatally stabbing her 18 times. Two months later Owen broke into the home of 38-year-old Georgianna Worden. As her two little girls slept in a nearby room, he raped her and killed her by striking her repeatedly with a hammer.
Owen was convicted and sentenced to death in both cases. He was granted a re-trial for the murder of Karen Slattery. A second jury convicted him and, again, he was sentenced to death. Owen’s defence team argued that he suffered with gender dysphoria. Psychiatrists for the state, however, denied this and testified that Owen did not ‘present’ as female.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has made its disdain for women’s rights and safety abundantly clear in the past, having championed the cause of violent trans-identified males to be accommodated in female prisons.
This week, when Duane Owen was put to death by lethal injection at Florida State Prison, ACLU commented on his execution on social media. Instead of protesting the death penalty, instead of expressing sympathy for the victims’ families, instead of voicing sorrow for the young woman and the teenage girl who lost their lives, ACLU chose to lambast the state for not affirming the ‘gender identity’ of a rapist and murderer.

Dana Rivers has been accommodated in a female prison.
In November 2022, trans rights activist, Dana Rivers, was finally found guilty of murdering Charlotte Reed, Patricia Wright and Benny Diambu-Wright six years earlier.
Formerly known as David Warfield, Dana Rivers underwent sex reassignment surgery in 1999. He became a trans activist and focused on MichFest, an annual female-only lesbian festival held in Michigan. That trans-identified males were not permitted to attend this women-only event enraged him. He could not allow lesbians to exclude males from their festival so he picketed the event to vent his fury and resentment at the women who dared to defend their boundaries.
Married couple, Charlotte Reed and Patricia Wright, were regular MichFest attendees. Shortly after midnight on 11th November, 2016 police received reports that gunshots were heard at the couple’s home in Oakland, California. When they arrived they found Rivers covered in blood and in possession of knives, metal knuckles and ammunition. The house was ablaze. The couple’s son, Benny Diambu-Wright, lay outside the house. He had been shot dead. Inside the house, police found the bodies of Charlotte Reed and Patricia Wright. They had been shot and stabbed numerous times.
Rivers was charged with the murders but the case was been years in the hearing. The endless deferrals in proceedings were detailed meticulously by Kara Dansky.
Six years after he committed the murders, Dana Rivers was finally convicted. The silence of the mainstream media on his conviction was deafening.
And now Rivers has been accommodated in a female prison. According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation website, Rivers has been placed in the Central California Women’s Facility. Yet another insult to the memory of his victims.
Saturday 17th June - Big Brother Is Watching You
THE DAILY MAIL: A teacher was ‘treated like a paedophile’ after so-called ‘trans pupils’ complained about his science lesson.
Roy Huggins is a History teacher with over 30 years experience in the profession and a perfect record without a blemish. During his long career he has been an assistant head and educational consultant and he has even written books and education content about teaching. Earlier this year he was working as a supply teacher at Retford Oaks Academy in Nottinghamshire.
With one of his colleagues absent, Huggins was asked to cover a science lesson for a class of children aged 11-12. Although he didn’t feel comfortable teaching a subject in which he has no expertise or experience, he agreed to do so and used the original lesson plan which focused on the effects of puberty on the body. Huggins read from a national curriculum text book about the differences between male and female bodies, adding some comments of his own to contextualise the information. Drawing upon his own experience as a history teacher, for example, he explained that archaeologists can distinguish male and female skeletons by the size of the hips and shoulders.
Unbeknown to him, the class included at two children who identify as trans and several pupils later made complaints about his science lesson, claiming it had been offensive. The school then reported Huggins to the local authority safeguarding body which deals with allegations made against adults working with children.
Although Huggins was soon cleared of any wrongdoing, the school’s headteacher was not satisfied with this outcome and so referred him to the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). When Huggins learned that he was under investigation, he was devastated. There followed a two-month long nightmare during which he lived in fear of losing his reputation and his career, often feeling suicidal as a result.
Last week Huggins learned that he had been completely exonerated by the DBS who deemed he no case to answer. However, this experience has affected his mental health and he feels that a stain still remains on his reputation.
Huggins has decided to make his case public in order to highlight the perils of gender identity ideology. “What’s happened to me is a cautionary tale for our modern times of how systems can be abused by people pushing an agenda”, he said. “They are prepared to sacrifice people on the altar of these ideologies.”
Retford Oaks Academy has “A formal partnership with Stonewall, to promote the wellbeing of children who identify as LGBTQ+, and to educate the wider academy community on issues around gender identity”.
Sunday 18th June - The Clocks Are Striking 13 In The Oireachtas
Despite huge public opposition, the Irish government is ploughing ahead with legislation which will criminalise those who challenge gender identity ideology.
On paper, Ireland’s Criminal Justice (Incitement to Violence or Hatred and Hate Offences) Bill 2022 sounds like a good idea; a law “Relating to the prohibition of incitement to violence or hatred against a person or a group of persons on account of certain characteristics”. It is being presented as an overhaul of outdated legislation passed in 1989 to account for developments in technology and to protect those in newly prominent minority groups. However, the bill contains provisions which are nothing short of draconian. It will stifle freedom of expression and effectively silence the Irish women who are fighting to uphold their sex-based rights and safety.
The bill will criminalise speech or the ‘communication’ of material that is deemed ‘inciting hatred’ against groups or individuals of ‘protected characteristics’. One of these ‘protected characteristics’ is ‘gender’. The bill defines this as “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”. This means that any criticism of gender identity ideology or refusal to accept its tenets will effectively be criminalised and could result in a prison sentence.
Under the terms of the bill it will be illegal to ‘prepare or possess’ material which could be considered as ‘inciting hatred’. ‘Possession’ could simply mean a video or meme saved to one’s phone or laptop, even if it is never shared with anyone else. Furthermore, ‘inciting hatred’ could mean little more than causing offence.
The Irish government organised a public consultation with regard to this bill and received around 3,600 responses. Journalist Ben Scallan says he has analysed them all and suggests that 73% of respondents are opposed to the planned legislation. Nevertheless, the government is still determined to press ahead with it.
Taoiseach (the Irish premier), Leo Varadkar, was unconcerned by opposition to the bill. He said that the “Vast majority of people don’t make submissions to public consultations” and claimed that they’re “Not necessarily reflective of public opinion”. So what was the point in holding one, then?
On 26th April, the bill passed the Dáil (the lower house of the Irish parliament) by a vote of 110 to 14. This week it has been debated in the Seanad (the upper house).
Fine Gael’s Helen McEntee, Minister for Justice, opened the debate with a lengthy speech in full support of the bill. Despite obvious evidence to the contrary, she has previously denied that there is considerable opposition to this legislation.
Helen McEntee is married to a man called Paul Hickey, the Director of Market Access & Stakeholder Relations at AbbVie (Ireland). AbbVie is a large pharmaceutical company with headquarters in Chicago.
One of the products sold by AbbVie is Lupron, a hormone inhibitor frequently used to halt the onset of a natural puberty in trans-identified children and adolescents.
Under his Éire.
See you next week.
Referring to the last item in this bulletin. Somebody called "Dr Panti Bliss Cabrera" took over my Instagram platfform and shut it down. They wanted to silence me because I'd had the temerity to speak out against trans gender ideology.
Have we ever known a movement that claims to be for "human rights" that actively silences and bullies people that try to engage in good faith debate?
“ Make sense of the world through logic, reason and evidence.”
That just about sums up what we are all feeling every day…ffs please make it make sense.
That picture of Varadkar with Panty Bliss 🤮 is a perfect depiction of the madness that has infected the world.
Maybe we need to start calling all the women who go along with this crap, Vichy women or non men. If it wasn’t for them things wouldn’t have got so bad.
