OPINDIA: A trans-identified male has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old boy in Kerala, India.
In 2016 Sacho Samson sexually assaulted a 16-year-old boy he’d met on a train. He assaulted the boy in a public toilet, having threatened him when he was reluctant to accompany him there. The boy was so frightened of what Samson might do to him, he daren’t tell his family that he had been sexually assaulted.
Samson continually stalked and messaged the boy via social media. His crime finally came to light when the boy’s mother discovered these communications.
Since assaulting the boy in 2016, Samson has begun ‘identifying as a woman’ and calling himself Shefina. In court his lawyer tried to use his trans identity in mitigation, claiming (unsuccessfully) that it made Samson innocent of the crime.
In his judgement, Justice Aaj Sudarsan concluded that Samson was a male at the time of the assault but has since ‘changed gender’. He sentenced Samson to seven years of rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of ₹ 25,000 which is to be paid to the victim in ‘compensation’.
According to filmmaker and feminist activist, Vaishnavi Sundar, Samson has been incarcerated in a female prison.

REDUXX: A trans-identified male has been found guilty of abusing his disabled girlfriend and is listed as ‘female’ in official records.
Serenity Alana Mann, formerly known as Jeffrey Mann, is a 34-year-old trans-identified male from Helena in Montana, USA. In 2020 Mann was convicted of criminal endangerment after a road rage incident on a car park. Mann menaced a female driver with a crowbar, screaming at her and threatening to kill her. At the time, Mann admitted to police officers that he has problems controlling his anger and violent impulses. He was given a two-year deferred sentence.
Last week Mann appeared in court for sentencing having been found guilty of felony partner assault.
In November 2021 law enforcement officers were investigating an unrelated incident when they became aware of Mann’s longstanding abusive relationship with his then girlfriend. According to court documents, the young woman in question is partially paralyzed having sustained a traumatic brain injury during her early life. Mann is six feet tall and weighs 300 lbs.
Detectives spoke to the victim who told them that Mann had attacked her the previous evening. She said that he was angry and ‘knocked her down’ while strangling her. She described how he’d put her in a ‘sleeper hold’ (a chokehold from behind which restricts blood flow to the brain) that almost caused her to lose consciousness.
At the sentencing, the victim read out a statement in which she begged the court to prevent Mann from harming her. Heartbreakingly, she referred to Mann with female pronouns, apparently forced to pretend that the man who’d routinely terrorised her is somehow now a woman. “Please protect me and don’t let Serenity keep her [sic] word by hurting me or even killing me.”
The prosecution pressed for Mann to receive a term in state prison, noting that strangulation was ‘practice for homicide’. However, Mann received a suspended sentence; over the next five years he will spend one consecutive week in prison per annum, 35 days in total. He will also serve 200 hours of community service.
It is understood that Mann will spend his 35 days of incarceration in a women’s prison. Furthermore, he has been recorded as ‘female’ by the Montana Department of Corrections.

Yet another sex offender appears to have taken advantage of Primark’s ‘gender neutral’ changing room policy. West Mercia Police are appealing for witnesses after a flasher was seen in the Telford town centre store.
“Police in Telford are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a man exposed himself and carried out a lewd act in the changing rooms of Primark.”
A few years ago, Primark was in the papers when it started to install ‘gender neutral’ - ie mixed sex - changing rooms in its stores. This policy hasn’t worked out too well. In March 2022 a man was apprehended recording women getting undressed in the changing rooms of a Primark store in London.
In July 2022 an unknown male was seen trying to film women undressing in the changing room of a Primark store in Sheffield.
In September 2022, a young woman posted a video on social media to describe how, when she was trying on clothes in the changing room of a Primark store in Cambridge, two men burst in on her.
And now a man has been exposing himself and engaging in lewd acts in yet another Primark changing room. A store whose target demographic is teenage girls.

WCBI NEWS: Police in Arkansas have arrested a ‘woman’ for making bomb threats.
Mississippi television station, WCIB News, reported on the arrest of a ‘woman’ who is accused of the false reporting of placing explosives. They failed to mention that the ‘woman’ arrested, ‘Lily’ Mestemacher, has a hairy chest and a beard.

THE TELEGRAPH: Further revelations about the Tavistock Clinic suggest that, under Mermaids’ influence, vulnerable children were deemed ‘collateral damage’ in the promotion of gender ideology.
Hannah Barnes’ new book about the Tavistock and Portman clinic, Time to Think, has revealed that GIDS clinicians, “Ignored evidence that 97.5 per cent of children seeking sex changes had autism, depression or other problems that might have explained their unhappiness”.
According to GIDS’ own data around 35% of children referred to the clinic presented with ‘moderate to severe autistic traits’. Less than 2% of children in the UK are thought to have an autism spectrum disorder but this staggering over-representation of patients on the autism spectrum was ignored by GIDS clinicians.
The book also claims that children referred to GIDS were far more likely to have spent time in care, to have a father who is a registered sex offender, to have lost a parent through death or separation or to have more than five ‘associated features’ such as an eating disorder, anxiety, depression, abuse, self-harm or bullying. Again, these co-morbidities were rarely addressed or explored with children before they were rushed into medicalisation after just one brief consultation.
Some of the GIDS staff interviewed by Hannah Barnes spoke of the clinic coming under the increasing influence of transgender lobby groups, particularly Mermaids. “Mermaids put huge pressure on the clinic to refer children for drugs at a younger age and to recommend surgery.” One clinician spoke of being ‘absolutely attacked’ by Mermaids for trying to employ a watchful waiting approach. Andrea Walker, a former GIDS social worker, claimed that the clinic scrapped its lower age limit for the prescribing of puberty blockers because “Mermaids wanted it to happen.”

REDUXX: A trans-identified male who raped a 3-month-old baby has been accommodated in a female prison that has a mother and child unit.
Adam Laboucan is from Quesnel in BC, Canada. As a child he was linked to the drowning of a three-year-old boy in 1993. Although no charges were ever brought and the death was ruled an accident, Laboucan later admitted to killing the toddler, according to a 1999 CBC news report.
Laboucan was 17 years old when he was convicted of raping a 3-month-old baby boy in 1997. He had been hired to care for the infant as a babysitter but, instead, he caused injuries so severe that the baby required reconstructive surgery.
At the trial, forensic psychiatrist, Dr Ian Postnikoff, told the court that Laboucan believed himself to be a danger to the public. “He said he was not planning a life of crime, but he felt he had no way to control the flood of violent, murderous fantasies.”
Following his incarceration, Laboucan began ‘identifying as a woman’ and calling himself Tara Desousa. In a 2018 dating profile on the Canadian Inmates Connect website, Laboucan described himself as a ‘transgender woman’ and boasted of having a ‘vagina, not a penis’ and breast implants.
Laboucan was moved to the female estate and incarcerated in the Fraser Valley Institution for Women, a facility which includes a minimum-security annex for mothers and young children. In 2017 he physically attacked a female inmate, flinging her to the ground by her hair then kicking her in the face. His most recent psychiatric assessment determined that he remains at high risk of re-offending and is therefore deemed a potential danger to society.
Heather Mason, a Canadian advocate for the rights of incarcerated women, told Reduxx of the conversations she has had recently with women being held in Fraser Valley. One inmate told her that Laboucan was being housed in accommodation adjacent to the mother and baby unit and said that he stared at the children there. She also alleged that Laboucan assaulted a female inmate who was then punished for supposedly inciting his violent behaviour.

THE TIMES: Four of the five trans-identified males incarcerated in Scotland’s female estate are convicted murderers.
The Scottish Prison Service has accommodated five males in female prisons because they ‘identify as women’. All but one have been convicted of murder.
Sophie Eastwood
In 2004 Daniel Eastwood was serving time in a young offenders institution for dangerous driving when he strangled a fellow inmate. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and ordered to serve a minimum of 15 years.
While in prison, Eastwood earned the nickname ‘Hannibal Lecter Jnr’ due to his disturbing behaviour and explosive temper. One prison officer resigned from her job after a frightening encounter with him and he violently attacked another.
In 2018 Eastwood began ‘identifying as a woman’ and using the name Sophie. He has been accommodated in female-only prison units ever since.
Last year, having failed to secure release by identifying as a woman, Eastwood decided that he is a baby, demanding he be supplied with baby food and nappies etc. According to the The Daily Record and The Daily Mail, Eastwood was supplied with a dummy and prison authorities took this ‘identity’ seriously.
Paris Green
Paris Green was formerly known as Peter Laing. Together with two accomplices, Green beat, tortured and murdered 45-year-old Robert Shankland. He was convicted in 2013.
Green began his 18-year sentence at Cornton Vale women’s prison but only weeks later had to be moved following reports that he was having sex with female prisoners.
He was moved to the women’s unit in Edinburgh’s Saunton Prison.
Melissa Young
Formerly known as Richard McCabe, Young habitually abused drugs and worked in a gay sauna prior to his murder conviction.
In 2014 Young was convicted of the murder of Alan Williamson, his neighbour. Williamson sustained 29 injuries from multiple stab wounds.
While on remand at Cornton Vale woman’s prison, Young, who is six feet three inches tall, was convicted of the brutal assault of a female prison officer. He lunged towards the prison officer, seizing her by the hair and pulling her to the floor. He then lay on top of her, kicking her and struggling with her. Finally, he bit the officer on her stomach, inflicting a wound so severe that he drew blood.
Alex Stewart
Formerly known as Alan Baker, Stewart murdered 36-year-old John Weir in 2013. Stewart stabbed Weir at least sixteen times just hours after the pair met on a gay dating site.
Following his murder conviction, Stewart began to ‘identify as a woman’ and was moved to the female estate. According to The Daily Record, Stewart had a relationship with Sophie Eastwood when the pair were both being held in the women’s section of HMP Greenock. A source told the paper that they were intimate with each other in the jail’s public areas and that ‘neither was shy at letting things all hang out’.
In 2018 Stewart won Greenock Prison’s Miss Fitness trophy, unsurprisingly beating the female inmates ‘by a country mile’.
In 2021 it was reported that Stewart was having a relationship with another Greenock inmate, Nyomi Fee. According to a prison source the pair openly ‘groped’ each other and made no secret of their relationship.
Thursday 16th February - First Do No Harm
DAILY MAIL US: A clinician from the St Louis Children’s Hospital advised a teacher to ‘affirm’ a friendship group of schoolgirls in their collective trans identity.
A few weeks ago, The Washington University Transgender Centre at St Louis Children’s Hospital was in the news when brave whistleblower, Jamie Reed, spoke out about her experiences of working there. “I left the clinic in November of last year because I could no longer participate in what was happening there… We are permanently harming the vulnerable patients in our care.”
Reed’s testimony has led to two investigations into the centre, one by Missouri Attorney General, Andrew Bailey, and another by Senator Josh Howley’s office.
The Daily Mail US has now revealed evidence that a doctor at the St Louis gender clinic advised a concerned schoolteacher to ‘affirm’ the new gender identity of a group of schoolgirls who had suddenly all decided to ‘come out’ as trans. The girls were all fifth graders, ie aged between 10-11 years old.
The teacher first contacted the centre in October 2021, seeking advice over an obvious case of social contagion. One of the girls in a particular friendship group had begun identifying as trans with several of her peers soon following suit.
One of the clinic’s doctors, who cannot be named, responded. “There are schools of thought that have documented this as an issue of significance, in that a student coming out as transgender, becomes a ‘contagion’. This language isn't affirming and the few studies on phenomenon are, in my personal and professional opinion, invalid… This is normal in that when one person realizes who they are and shares it, others realize they are similar.”
In a further correspondence with the school, the doctor suggested that there would be no harm in validating the girls’ trans-identities even if they later changed their minds. “The best we can do”, the doctor wrote, “Is affirm, validate and allow for exploration”.
Writing of her experiences at the centre, Jamie Reed said, “The doctors I worked alongside at the Transgender Centre said frequently about the treatment of our patients: ‘We are building the plane while we are flying it’. No one should be a passenger on that kind of aircraft”.

WALES ONLINE: A recidivist trans-identified sex offender has been sentenced for stalking and sexually harassing a sixteen-year-old girl.
Leah (formerly known as Joshua) Harvey is a paedophile who was first jailed in 2018 for five counts of attempting to incite a girl to engage in sexual activity.
In 2020, only weeks after his release from prison on licence, he was apprehended approaching young children and making sexually explicit comments to young girls. He admitted to two breaches of his sexual harm prevention order and was jailed for two years. In July 2022 Harvey was found in possession of an illicit electronic device. He admitted to breaching his SHPO again and was sentenced to 24 weeks.
This week Harvey was in court for yet another breach of his SHPO after sexually harassing a 16-year-old girl at Grange University Hospital in Cwmbran.
In October 2022, despite having been discharged, Harvey lurked around the hospital in the early hours of the morning to stalk the girl and make lewd sexual suggestions to her. He followed her around the hospital, trailing her even when she went to use the toilet. He showed the girl sexually explicit messages which he had written on his hand, such as “I want to bang you”, “Do you want to fuck?” and “I want to get on you”. He also tried to question her about her sexuality.
28-year-old Harvey pleaded guilty to breaching his SHPO by having unsupervised contact with a child and he was sentenced to three years imprisonment.

THE DAILY RECORD: A trans-identified male incarcerated in the female estate has been segregated after ‘outing’ himself as a sex offender.
This article follows on from our earlier item highlighting that four out of the five trans-identified males being held in women’s prisons in Scotland are convicted murderers. The fifth, 33-year-old Harryetta Thompson, was, coincidentally, also in the news this week. Unlike the others, he is not a murderer. But he is a ‘disturbed’ and ‘volatile’ sex offender.
It seems likely that Thompson’s first offence was in 2013. The Galloway Gazette reported on a then 23-year-old Harryetta Thompson who was convicted of ‘committing a sexual act’ in the window of his own home.
In 2016 Thompson was convicted of grooming two young boys aged 10 and 12. The Daily Record describes him as having a ‘full male physiology’ but, until this week, Thompson has been accommodated amongst the general population of a women’s prison, Cornton Vale. Thompson has been segregated this week after ‘outing’ himself as a paedophile during a telephone conversation which other inmates overheard. Clearly the women with whom he’s lived closely for several years had no idea they were sharing their space with a sexual predator.
A prison source told The Daily Record, “Thompson is a disturbed individual and very volatile… It’s ludicrous that this person, with full male parts, is being held in a women’s prison.”

BBC NEWS: A trans-identified male has been charged with abduction and sexual assault following the disappearance of an 11-year-old girl.
On Sunday 5th February an 11-year-old girl was reported missing in the Scottish borders area. A search was launched, and police eventually recovered the girl from a property in Galashiels 27 hours later.
This week 53-year-old Andrew Miller appeared in Selkirk Sheriff Court charged with alleged abduction and sexual assault. He was charged with further offences including the possession of indecent images of a child, behaving in a threatening and/or abusive manner and forcing a child to look at a sexual image.
In media reports of these charges, Miller is described as a man and referred to with male pronouns, but he identifies as trans. He calls himself Amy George and has a Facebook profile in that name. According to The Telegraph, people in his local community say that Miller ‘transitioned’, changing his name and appearance, six years ago. Arriving for his initial court appearance a few weeks ago, Miller was photographed wearing coloured nail polish.
Miller made no plea and has been remanded in custody. He will appear in court at a later date. (Meanwhile, as the case is ongoing and contempt of court laws apply, so we would advise caution if commenting on this subject!)
Also Today - It’s Not Cricket
THE TELGRAPH: A trans-identified middle-aged male is playing on a female cricket team and competing against girls as young as twelve.
The Telegraph has revealed that six county cricket teams have approached the English Cricket Board (ECB), alarmed over a trans-identified male player who competes with and against women and girls on a female team. The ECB’s rules concerning trans-identified players state that “Trans women may compete in any female-only competition, league or match and should be accepted in the gender in which they present”. No medical treatment or physical alteration is required.
The Telegraph has seen numerous letters from coaches and parents, raising concerns over the safety of the female players who have to face a trans-identified adult male on the pitch in county matches. It is understood that the player has already caused injuries, one to an umpire and one to an opponent who was left unable to play for months.
As young players often ‘play up’ onto adult female teams, this cricketer has, according to the The Telegraph, competed against girls aged as young as twelve. Consequently, some parents have threatened to remove their daughters from the league with one describing the situation as “Unacceptable, uncomfortable and dangerous”.
Saturday 18th February - “Both Sides”
MAIL ONLINE: A vociferous trans activist has expressed his desire to harm gender critical women, implying he’d like to slit their throats.
Earlier this week trans activists and their toadies sent two open letters to The New York Times, railing against the paper’s coverage of gender ideology and particularly its reporting on the medicalisation of vulnerable children. Both tried to intimidate the paper’s editors into silence. One letter was coordinated by GLAAD, the other was from NYT contributors. A signatory to the latter missive is trans-identified male horror author, Gretchen Felker-Martin.
The week prior to signing the letter, Felker-Martin posted now-deleted tweets expressing his desire to kill those critical of gender ideology. Firstly, he claimed that gender critical writers, such as Jesse Singal, Helen Joyce and JK Rowling, are somehow responsible for the tragic death of a trans-identified teenager. (No motive has yet been attached to the crime and police repeatedly have asked the public not to speculate on it. But facts do not seem to bother Felker-Martin.)
He then commented, in reference to Joyce, Singal and Rowling etc, “If they all had one throat, man”.
We have reported previously on Gretchen Felker-Martin. Last year he wrote a novel which depicts the brutal murders of gender critical feminists by trans-identified males.
Manhunt, described as ‘LGBTQ+ horror’, is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and involves two trans-identified males hunting down and killing women described as ‘the knights of JK Rowling’ and ‘TERF soldiers’.
One of the male protagonists becomes aroused while murdering a ‘TERF’ and there is a particularly disturbing scene towards the end of the book in which a black woman has her womb cut out while being verbally abused.
Felker-Martin frequently writes about sexual violence against women. By his own admission, has never written anything that doesn’t feature ‘at least one rape scene’.
In Manhunt, JK Rowling is murdered by being burned alive.
Felker-Martin has seemed a bit obsessed with JK Rowling in the past.

THE TIMES: Guidelines which cost thousands of pounds of public money to produce are advising NHS staff not to ‘assume the gender’ of their patients.
A 16-page booklet aimed at ‘helping doctors communicate with LGBT patients’ has been produced by ‘experts’ at King’s College London in conjunction with numerous ‘partner organisations’. It is intended to “Support health and social care professionals to be more inclusive in communication with patients about sexual orientation, gender identity and gender history”.
The guidelines were funded by the National Institute for Health Research, a branch of the Department of Health, which received a government grant of £164,964 to facilitate their production. While not official government or NHS policy, the guidance was specifically designed for use by NHS doctors and nurses.
It advises the use of ‘gender neutral’ and ‘inclusive language’ and ‘choosing words and phrases’ which don’t ‘make assumptions’ about gender identity. NHS staff should ask patients which pronouns they prefer, it says.
The guide includes a lengthy forward written by Stonewall and it links to Stonewall’s ‘glossary of terms’ as a source of ‘useful information’.
The Department of Health and Social Care commented, “This guide has not been endorsed by the government. We have been clear that removing language around biological sex has the potential for unintended adverse health consequences”.
Perhaps that should have been a consideration before they spent almost £165k of taxpayers’ money on it.
Sunday 19th February - A Level Playing Field
IRISH INDEPENDENT: The Ladies Gaelic Football Association has ratified a new ‘trans policy’ which allows trans-identified males to play on female teams.
Gaelic football is a contact sport played with a round football that is slightly smaller and heavier than a soccer ball. The ball can be caught, kicked and hand passed. Shoulder-to-shoulder contact is permitted and a player can slap the ball out of an opponent's hand. More than one player can tackle someone in possession of the ball. Two of the sport’s most common injuries are shoulder dislocation and concussion.
All the scientific evidence demonstrates that, whatever the sport, trans-identified males retain “Significant advantages in speed, strength, lung capacity and endurance even after testosterone is reduced”. This has obvious implications for safety and fairness when women’s teams are made mixed sex.
That notwithstanding, this week the Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGAF) published a new policy which is “Committed to the inclusion of trans women”. From the age of twelve, trans-identified males can play on female teams if they apply for and are granted approval.
For players aged eighteen and over, documentation from a GP is required to confirm the necessary reduction in the applicant’s testosterone level and that the applicant “Has transitioned or is transitioning from male to female and intends to live their life as a female”. Or, at the sole discretion of the applicant, a GRC can be submitted. Players aged 16-17 must submit similar documentation. For players aged between 12-15, confirmation from a medical professional is required stating that the applicant “Has transitioned or is transitioning from male to female and intends to live their life as a female”. Whatever that means.
Also Today - Leave Them Kids Alone
MAIL ON SUNDAY: There has been a sharp rise in books aimed at the indoctrination of primary school children into gender identity ideology.
Transgender Trend have led an investigation into the rapid increase of picture books which promote transgender ideology to young children.
One of the sixty books analysed is called ‘Bye Bye Binary’ and tells the story of a baby who refuses to say whether it is a boy or girl. The infant declares that it is ‘ready to smash gender norms’ which are ‘only social constructs anyway’.
Another book, ‘She’s My Dad!’, is aimed at children aged three to seven and tells the story of a child whose father is a trans-identified male. The central character, a six-year-old girl, tells young readers, “My dad’s name is Haley. She used to be a he but now she is a she! Last year she did this thing called transition”.
Many of these titles are included on primary school reading lists, having been promoted by trans lobbyists. Equaliteach, a Government-funded LGBT equality programme, recommends books which promote gender ideology to primary schools. One of its recommended titles is ‘But, I’m Not A Boy’ which is aimed at 6-8 year olds and is about a boy who, it tells young readers, “Is really a girl named Sarah”.
Shelley Charlesworth, who led the Transgender Trend investigation, told The Mail on Sunday, “Telling young children that hairstyles and clothes will change their sex and that other children will then believe it to be true is a cruel deception”.
Julia Williams, who has 30 years’ experience of working in the publishing industry and is the mother of four children, told the paper that children’s publishers are exploiting current trends, knowing these books will have a market. “Publishers are not just getting into this out of the goodness of their hearts”, she said.
See you next week.
Horror piled upon horror. Where are all the adults? If everyone stood up and said, no more, we might get somewhere.
The Transgender Trend article on books for very young children is particularly horrifying and we should share it widely. These people are destroying the minds of children too young to understand the difference between truth and lies, children too young to understand that they are being groomed. They are evil. I might just be able to forgive someone who doesn’t understand what’s going on and who just wants to ‘be kind’ but I will never forgive anyone who lies to children in order to groom them into a vile cult.
"Publishers are not just getting into this out of the goodness of their hearts". You bet.
Transideology is so obviously a capitalist ideology that it blows my mind that anyone would categorize it as left. It is, indeed, the embodiment of capitalist exploitation.
