A Week in the War on Women: Monday 17th October - Sunday 23rd October
Monday 17th October - Ulta
THE DAILY MAIL: Beauty retailer, Ulta, is using two trans-identified males in its latest marketing campaign to advertise skin care and make-up products to women.
Ulta Beauty has over a thousand salons across the US and a thriving online business. Its latest digital marketing campaign, a podcast called ‘The Beauty Of’, involves ‘gender fluid’ hairdresser, David Lopez, talking to trans-identified male, Dylan Mulvaney, about ‘all things girlhood’.
25-year-old Dylan Mulvaney is a TikTok celebrity who posts social media videos charting his so-called ‘days of girlhood’. He performs a gross parody of womanhood which is reliant on stereotypical femininity, often highly sexualised, and refers to female anatomy as a ‘barbie pouch’.
Only a few years ago Mulvaney was performing in a band called The Skivvies.
He also used to be ‘non-binary’ and used they/them pronouns. Now he’s in his ‘girlhood’ and belittling women with an offensive caricature of our sex.
In Ulta Beauty’s podcast Mulvaney talks about learning how to apply eyeliner being a ‘lesson’ of womanhood, says he ‘absolutely can’ be a mother and declares “Mr Hollywood, I’m right here!” while pointing his breasts at the camera. Host, David Lopez, replies, “Hollywood! Zoom in on that!”. (It’s like Harvey Weinstein never happened.)
When, not surprisingly, Ulta Beauty was inundated with complaints about this podcast, it doubled down and hid the replies to the tweet. The company issued a statement: “We believe beauty is for everyone. And while we recognize some conversations we host will challenge perspectives and opinions, we believe constructive dialogue is one important way to move beauty forward”.
Pretending that adherence to stereotypes of femininity can turn men into women is not the way to ‘challenge perspectives’. But a lot of young gender non-conforming boys could really do with hearing the message that it’s okay for them to wear nail varnish and make-up without needing to change their ‘gender’ to do so.
And just when you thought this absolute circus couldn’t get any worse, Dylan Mulvaney was invited to the White House.
Tuesday 18th October - This Never Happens
TORONTO SUN: A trans-identified male has been arrested for sexual assaulting a woman at a female-only shelter.
Shane Jacob Green is a convicted sex offender. In 2018 he was found guilty of sexually assault. He dragged a 15-year-old girl into a toilet stall at a fast food restaurant where he attacked her. The girl was an employee and had been cleaning the bathroom. Only a year later, while he was still on probation, Green was convicted of harassing a pair of 13-year-old girls.
According to the paper, Green is a ‘hulking six foot two 230-pounder’. In August he arrived at a female-only shelter in Parry Sound looking for a place to stay and claiming to ‘identify as a woman’. The staff gave him a room.
Two days after his arrival there, it is alleged that Green abused one of the female clients at the shelter. He has been charged with two counts of sexual assault.
An anonymous police source told The Toronto Sun, “Green is very familiar with policies at women’s shelters and will make comments about his gender identity as a way to intimidate their staff. Green tries the same stunts with law enforcement.”
A male playing the system and claiming to ‘identify as a woman’ in order to access female-only spaces and assault women.
Something the Scottish government constantly insists would never happen.

THE COURIER: Trans identified male paedophile sex offender, Katie Dolatowski, was back in court this week but, yet again, managed to escape jail time.
In February 2018 Katie Dolatowski filmed a 12-year-old-girl who was using the toilet in a female bathroom at a supermarket in Dunfermline. A month later, he sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl in the women’s toilets at a supermarket in Kirkcaldy. He grabbed the terrified child by the face, forced her into a cubicle and ordered her to take off her clothes. (Dolatowski is, apparently, 6 feet 5 inches tall.)
He pleaded guilty to voyeurism and sexual assault charges but managed to escape a prison sentence. He was given a three-year community payback order, placed on the sex offenders register and banned from having any contact with children. He was subsequently accommodated in a female-only hostel which has a shared bathroom.
In March 2019, Dolatowski was back in court accused of deleting the internet history on his phone. He was warned that doing so a second time would result in his imprisonment. A month later, when social workers discovered he was making ‘alarming’ internet searches, he received yet another threat of imprisonment, but still no actual jail time.
This week Dolatowski has been back in court after he breached a strict sex offender notification requirement under which he was supposed to inform police of any change of address. He admitted failing to notify police of a new address between June 13 and September 9 after he moved from Leeds back to Kirkaldy to live with his mother.
Despite numerous ‘final warnings’ Dolatowski has escaped jail yet again. Instead he has been placed on curfew.
It has since transpired that the accommodation he shares with his mother is located on a housing estate which is home to a number of children.
Wednesday 19th October - First Do No Harm
THE DAILY MAIL: A survivor of sexual violence had her vital surgery cancelled at the last minute because men’s feelings are more important than women’s lives.
The woman, a retired solicitor, wished to remain anonymous and was referred to as ‘Emma’ in the newspaper article. She has since waived her anonymity so that she can talk about her ordeal. Her name is Teresa Steele.
She was scheduled to have a very complicated and vital colorectal surgical procedure at London’s Princess Grace Hospital. According to its own website, the hospital is “One of the UK’s best equipped, acute, private surgical hospitals providing complex care”.
Prior to her surgery, Teresa completed a pre-admission form detailing her requirements. She requested single sex accommodation and informed the hospital that she would not engage with gender identity ideology or be providing her preferred pronouns. Teresa is a survivor of sexual violence. For obvious reasons, being cared for by female-only staff in female-only accommodation are essential to her.
Prior to her surgery, Teresa attended the hospital for her clinical pre-op assessment, which involved intimate procedures. While she was there, someone she believed to be a trans-identified male invaded her room and her privacy. A young man wearing a blond wig and bright red lipstick knocked on the door but barged straight in without waiting for permission. He looked inside, made eye contact with Teresa and then left.
Concerned by this incident, Teresa made an urgent request to the hospital for all-female nursing care. She told the paper, “I began to panic that men would be attending to my intimate care at the hospital while I was immobilised for an entire week following major surgery… I felt sick. Alarm bells were ringing in my head. I cannot describe the fear that I felt.”
Teresa wrote to the hospital’s parent company, HCA Healthcare, explaining her concerns and requesting a single sex nursing staff. “Please do not make life difficult for women when they are at their most vulnerable by forcing them into uncomfortable and embarrassing situations”, she said.
She was stunned when, a few days later, she received an email from hospital CEO, Maxine Estop Green, cancelling her surgery. She was told that the hospital ‘did not share her beliefs’ and was committed to protecting its staff from ‘unacceptable distress’. She was advised to make alternative arrangements for her surgery.
The surgery Teresa requires is highly specialised and the Princess Grace Hospital is one of the few places in the country to use the Da Vinci robot capable of performing such delicate and complex operations. Her health condition is very serious and this surgery was a matter of extreme urgency.
Predictably, those on ‘the right side of history’ reacted to a survivor of sexual violence being left in a life-threatening condition with their usual vitriol.
Sarah Muirhead-Allwood is one of the UK’s leading consultant orthopaedic surgeons who specialises in complex hip resurfacings and replacements and is highly respected in his field. He has a prestigious patient list which has included Andy Murray and the Queen Mother and he makes regular appearances in the media.
Formerly known as William, Muirhead-Allwood transitioned when he was 49 years old. He works at Princess Grace Hospital.
Could it be that the hospital administrators were more concerned with possibly offending their star surgeon than with saving the life of a vulnerable patient?
Of course, if a hospital cannot guarantee and accommodate a request for female-only care, its not only survivors of sexual violence who will be forced to self-exclude, its women of certain faiths and cultures, too, as this thread demonstrates.
(Not that women should never have to justify their need for female-only clinicians and carers or female-only spaces.)
Thursday 20th October - Labour Losing Women
UNHERD: Keir Starmer appeared at the Pink News awards and made it clear the Labour Party is totally captured by gender identity ideology.
This week, with the British government making the Fall of Rome look like a minor misunderstanding, Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, was busy presenting awards at an event hosted by Pink News.
Pink News, an online misogyny generator, has been successfully sued by two lesbians, its co-owner is an ex-trustee of Mermaids, the charity currently under formal investigation following shocking revelations about various aspects of its operation, and it has just been discovered that one of its staff writers is, at the very least, a paedophile apologist. Starmer should never have been there in the first place.
Starmer took this opportunity to pontificate about Labour policies. He promised ‘tougher hate crime laws’ so every LGBT+ ‘hate crime will be treated as an aggravated offence’. As Joan Smith points out in Unherd, this “Constitutes a direct threat to free expression” and “Raises the prospect of law-abiding people facing an aggravated sentence for a social media post that uses the ‘wrong’ pronouns”. Hate crime legislation is already a shambles with individuals making police reports over behaviour that isn’t even illegal. The fastest-growing area of complaints is ‘transgender identity’, which rose by 56% in the year to March 2022.
Starmer also talked about ‘modernising’ the Gender Recognition Act. That phrase has a much better ring to it than ‘Self ID legislation’ but we know that is exactly what Starmer meant. He told us so over a year ago.
Buddying up with Pink News again, he declared that Labour Party policy is to “Introduce self-declaration for trans people”.
As Susan Dalgety wrote at the time, “It almost defies belief that a Labour leader would abandon women so casually, via a video in a field.”
And lets not forget that Starmer believes the sex class of women can include males.
When asked to define what a woman is he replied, “A woman is a female adult, and in addition to that trans women are women, and that is not just my view, that is actually the law.”
Not only is this comment contradictory, it is inaccurate; current legislation does not define the term ‘trans woman’. The Gender Recognition Act 2004 does allow some people to change their legal sex, but only those in possession of a GRC, an extremely small number. Furthermore, the law allows for female-only spaces and roles etc to exclude even GRC-holders under certain circumstances.
Starmer seemed to be quoting Stonewall Law rather than the existing legislation.
Indeed, he seems rather confused about biological generally.
But back to his performance at the Pink News awards. As Joan Smith points out, “In a tragedy for Left-leaning women and the country, it is now clear that Labour has been fully captured by gender extremists. A Starmer government will look after the interests of trans activists, not women”.
And here he is on LBC this radio, refusing to say whether or not Eddie Izzard could or would be on a Labour Party women-only shortlist.
Friday 21st October - The ‘Most Oppressed’
REDUXX: A porn-fuelled trans-identified male has designed a video game involving the violent murder of gender critical women.
Sandra Moen is a trans-identified male from Oslo in Norway. He is a programmer and also designs video games.
In 2017, when he was a university student, a woman complained about Moen using the female changing rooms at the sports centre on campus. He had been exposing his penis to women in the female shower block. Moen brought a charge of discrimination against the woman who had complained about him exposing his penis in the ladies’.
Moen has been very open about his use of pornography and interest in BDSM. During a podcast interview with Trans Norge earlier this year, Moen described how pornography fuelled his decision to ‘identify as a woman’. He said, “I began to understand that I was trans when I came across pornography featuring trans women… I began to question – if they have a penis, how could other people know that they were girls when they were children? And of course, they wouldn’t know. So then I started questioning – what if I am one of these pretty ladies, in reality.”
Moen has designed a video game focused on the slaughtering of women who oppose gender ideology, to whom he refers as ‘gender fascists’.
His design seems to be based on a popular 1992 game called Wolfenstein 3D which centred around a spy escaping from a prison in Nazi Germany. Moen has copied he style of the game but replaced the Nazis with gender critical women. Instead of a swastika, the women wear arm bands displaying an ‘XX’ logo which closely resembles the logo of the Women’s Declaration International (WDI).
He has been promoting the game on social media using hashtags such as #TERFs, #AdultHumanFemale, and #TERFIsland. In one post he encourages players to ‘put blood on the walls’.
This tweet from September 2022 reads, “I’m making a shooting game where you shoot gender fascists in a fictional universe (a la Wolfenstien 3D). New weapon: rocket launcher, does max damage.”
Christina Ellingsen of WDI Norway told Reduxx, “Accusations that women who care about women’s rights are ‘feminazis’ is nothing new… Male threats of violence against women and girls in the digital sphere is obvious and ubiquitous. But to men who claim to be women, digital media is used for a kind of gamification of misogyny that is unprecedented”.

9 NEWS MELBOURNE: A serial killer who began ‘identifying as a woman’ behind bars has applied for parole and could be released within months.
Paul Denyer, now 50 years of age, has been in prison for almost three decades.
During a seven week period in the summer of 1993 Denyer stalked and murdered three young women. His victims were aged 17, 18 and 22. He stabbed and slashed them to death with a knife. He also attacked a 41-year-old woman who considered herself lucky to escape with her life.
When he was captured, Denyer, who was 21 at the time, displayed no emotion as he explained to horrified police officers what he had done. Later, during questioning, he was asked why he had killed women. He replied “I just hate them”. Investigators asked if he meant his victims specifically or women in general and he responded, “General”.
In December 1993 Denyer appeared in Melbourne's Supreme Court and was sentenced to three consecutive sentences of life imprisonment with no parole period. However, only days later, he lodged an appeal and was subsequently granted a non-parole period of 30 years.
Mick Hughes is a former homicide detective at Victoria Police and worked on Denyer’s case. He says Denyer will kill again should he ever be released from prison. “If the public could hear his interviews and the way he spoke about his victims, he wouldn’t see the light of day again.”
While incarcerated, Paul Denyer began ‘identifying as a woman’ and demanding to be referred to as Paula. He has applied for parole and could be eligible for release in a matter of months.
Saturday 22nd October - Leave Them Kids Alone
THE DAILY MAIL: A former Tavistock clinician says parents falsely claimed their children are trans and describes the clinic as a ‘transing factory’.
This week it has been revealed that at least 15 children under the age of four were referred to the Tavistock and Portman Clinic over the past two years. A similar number of five-year-olds were referred to the clinic between 2021-2022.
Dr Az Hakeem worked as a psychiatrist at the Tavistock clinic for twelve years until 2012. In the wake of these shocking revelations he recalls that parents of very young children who fabricated stories of their toddlers being ‘transgender’. “You had three-year-olds coming in... I saw these parents who had a son but wanted a daughter or the other way around... the parents were saying ‘Johnny never looked like a boy so we've changed his name and put on a wig’”, Dr Hakeem told The Telegraph. He compared such behaviour to that of parents who have Munchausen by proxy disease.
Describing the Tavistock as a ‘transing factory’, Dr Hakeem commented, “I remember saying to them, this is madness. What we're doing is madness. These are children.”

THE TELEGRAPH: NHS staff received a 2-hour training session about ‘identities’, kink and a gender unicorn.
According to leaked documents seen by The Telegraph, the Devon Partnership NHS Trust provided training to medical colleagues at another NHS trust supposedly to inform its ‘gender policy’
Dozens of NHS staff attended a 2-hour session which involved the use of a ‘gender unicorn’, discussion of eleven different examples of gender expression, including non-binary, agender, neutrois, demigender, polygender, androgyne, femme-butch, and even an identity known as ‘genderfuck’. The trainer also referenced Germaine Greer and JK Rowling as examples of ‘TERFs’.
The training was provided by a member of staff from Devon Partnership NHS Trust’s West of England Specialist Gender Identity Clinic. An attendee told The Telegraph, “It seemed that they were almost an apostate for the trans movement and they were very proud of the fact they had 3,800 people on the waiting list”.
Sunday 23rd October - Under His Aye
THE SUNDAY TIMES: The Scottish government’s ‘misguided plans’ for self-ID ‘need a rethink’ in order to protect women.
Gillian Bowditch says the Scottish government’s proposed self-ID legislation will sacrifice women’s safe spaces for the sake of inclusion.
“Concern for safeguarding the rights of women does not make anyone transphobic”, she says. “But women’s right to safe spaces, once lost, will be nigh impossible to regain.”
As an example, Bowditch references a gynaecological cancer clinic in one Glasgow hospital. It previously had two toilets, one female and one male. Both are now ‘gender-neutral’ ie mixed sex.
“Women who have undergone the most intimate examinations and surgeries now have to change their clothing, take medication or come to terms with their emotions knowing that they are no longer in a female-only space. Who with a heart would sanction this?”
See you next week.
Makeup companies that keep virtual signalling to larpers, need to start selling clown makeup for the women who continue to buy from them.
