A Week in the War on Women: Monday 22nd April - Sunday 28th April
Monday 22nd April - Leave Them Kids Alone
THE TELEGRAPH: An NSPCC volunteer has left the charity after decades of volunteering over fears that it risks grooming children into ‘aggressive trans ideology’.
Julia Marshall is a former police officer and the mother of three children. She was an NSPCC volunteer for over 30 years but recently left the charity over fears that it is has been ‘completely captured’ by trans activism and risks harming children.
After two decades of fundraising for the NSPCC, in 2012 Julia became a regular school visitor delivering the ‘Speak Out, Stay Safe’ message, which is aimed at empowering children to recognise and report abuse. In 2022, following the Covid lock-down, NSPCC volunteers were asked to undertake refresher training.
Attending a training session with around 15 other volunteers, Julia found a ‘very different NSPCC’ to the one she had previously known. She told The Telegraph, “They had a whole session on pronouns and transgender children. I was astounded because we were talking about primary school children under 11”. Expressing her doubts, she was told ‘this is normal’ and when she asked how the charity couldn’t see the obvious safeguarding risk, she was told, “Well you’re weird”.
Julia says that she and other school volunteers were told to ask primary school-age children their pronouns when they delivered assemblies and workshops. They were also put under pressure to affirm a child’s ‘gender identity’ even though this is totally unrelated to the supposed purpose of the charity; to prevent abuse.
When Julia tried to discuss her concerns with her regional and local supervisors, she was ‘blanked’. She also sent a lengthy email to senior NSPCC figures pointing out what she believed was dangerous advice to children on the charity’s website. She never received a reply. “I thought they’d really lost the plot”, she says. “I thought I can’t work for this charity any more. It’s been completely captured by Stonewall.”

THE DAILY MAIL: A trans-identified boy won a girls’ shot put event after a US appeals court gave him permission to compete in female sports.
13- year-old Becky Pepper-Jackson is a trans-identified boy from Harrison County in West Virginia. With the support of gender zealots, ACLU (the American Civil Liberties Union), he and his mother have spent the past few years campaigning for him to be allowed to compete in girls’ sports.
In 2021, Becky and his mother took legal action against the state of West Virginia over its HB 3293 law, legislation which bans trans-identified males from competing in female sporting categories. Earlier this month a federal appeals court ruled in Becky’s favour and he is now permitted to take part in girls’ athletics.
This week Becky participated in his first competition since the ruling, the Harris County Middle School Track and Field Championship. He came second in the discus event and ‘won’ the shot put event with a throw of 32 feet - a full three feet further than the put which took second place.
Five brave girls from Lincoln Middle School protested against the inclusion of a male in their competition by refusing to take part in the shot put. Each stepped up to the circle but refused to throw the ball, receiving a mark of ‘no distance’.
Riley Gaines shared a recording of the event on social media and commented, “It's a sad day when 13-14 year old girls have to be the adults in the room, but I couldn't be more inspired by and proud of these girls”.
From Harpers Bazaar to The Independent to NBC News to The Washington Post, Becky Pepper-Jackson and his mother, Heather, have featured regularly in the media over the last few years.
According to Heather, Becky has been ‘trans’ since he was a toddler. “At the very beginning”, she told Harpers Bazaar, “I knew Becky was different from her brothers. She started questioning her clothing at age three. Her mannerisms were more feminine. She’d take my shirts and wear them as dresses as she twirled around. She would also ask me to do her makeup, put bows in her hair, and want to wear pink a lot.”
Becky was prescribed puberty blockers when he was eleven years old. He now also takes cross-sex hormones. His name has been legally changed and he has been issued with a new birth certificate which records his sex as ‘female’. He’s still only 13 years old. And he is every bit as much of a victim of gender lunacy as those poor girls whose medals, records and opportunities he is stealing.
Tuesday 23rd April - This Never Happens
WPDE: A trans-identified male convicted sex offender has been arrested, accused of trying to abduct a little boy from a Colorado elementary school.
33-year-old Solomon Galligan from Aurora, Colorado, is a registered sex offender. In 2011 he was convicted for the non-consensual grabbing, touching or groping of another's intimate body parts.
This week he was arrested at Black Forest Hills Elementary School, having reportedly attempted to kidnap to a pupil. According to police, Galligan was captured by surveillance cameras entering school grounds and approaching a number of children. He grabbed a little boy and ran away. The Daily Mail reports that Galligan stumbled, providing the child with an opportunity to escape, and that the other school children were shouting “Stranger danger” to raise the alarm. Galligan fled the scene but was later apprehended by police and charged with attempted kidnapping.
What this WPDE article fails to tell its readers is that Galligan is ‘transgender’. A CBS News article states that “Solomon claims to identify a woman” and was “In the process of transitioning for several years”. According to Galligan’s public Facebook profile, he began taking cross-sex hormones at the end of 2010.
In 2018 Galligan posted a new profile photograph to his Facebook page. A friend replies to him, “You look beautiful, girl”.
He looks rather different in the mugshot taken of him by Aurora Police this week.
Wednesday 24th April - Leave Them Kids Alone
THE TELEGRAPH: Seven year old pupils at a Southampton school were left confused after a trans-identified male supply teacher discussed his ‘gender’ with them.
Parents have complained to Bitterne Church of England Primary School in Southampton after it employed a trans-identified male supply teacher who discussed his ‘gender identity’ with their children. The teacher, described by The Daily Mail as ‘wearing women’s clothes’, told his class of seven year old pupils “If you're wondering why I'm so gorgeous, it's because I've put makeup on and had a shave”. He was supposed to be teaching them English.

This week The Metro, The Manchester Evening News, Runcorn and Widnes World and The Mirror all reported on the story of a violent altercation between neighbours which resulted in a conviction for one of the protagonists.
Following a row about canine faeces, 30-year-old Rebecca Lowe threatened the dog-owning neighbours with a Samurai sword and subsequently pleaded guilty to possession of an offensive weapon at Warrington Magistrates Court. Lowe was sentenced to a 12-month community order with a requirement for 20 days of rehabilitation activity and was ordered to pay £234 in costs and victim surcharge.
It was reported that Lowe had a previous conviction for a similar crime. In February 2020 Lowe received a 10-month suspended prison sentence for threatening behaviour and possession of a blade in a public place.
All of the news outlets referred to Lowe as ‘a woman’ and ‘a mum’. However, due to the nature of Lowe’s crimes and the photographs used, social media users called these assertions into question. When The Metro posted the story to its X (formerly Twitter) account, numerous people maintained that Lowe is male.
The Metro’s post even received a community note which simply read “That is a man”.
It could be that Rebecca Lowe really is ‘a woman’ and ‘a mum’. But when we cannot trust the media to accurately report the sex of violent offenders, how are we to know?
Thursday 25th April - We Told You So
THE TIMES: A group of voyeur perverts exploited ‘gender neutral’ changing rooms at swimming pools to secretly record over 5,000 teenage girls getting undressed.
Between April 2013 and November 2017, a group of four voyeur perverts, Adam Dennis, 39, Robert Morgan, 33, Declan Golden and Miguel Jose Sainz, targeted swimming pools in East London and Surrey.
They would loiter in the mixed sex changing rooms at these pools until a young girl took up the cubicle adjacent to theirs. They would then slide a bag containing a hidden camera partway under the partition, recording the girls as they undressed. The men would then edit these recordings into videos for their own use and to share with other perverts online. Referring to their activities as ‘hunting’, they would delve into the personal information and social media profiles of swimming club members, assembling what they called ‘profile documents’.
Declan Golden fled to the United States and the whereabouts of Miguel Jose Sainz are unknown. However, Dennis and Morgan stood trial and were sentenced at Inner London Crown Court this week. Dennis was sentenced to 22 months in prison while Morgan received 20 months’ imprisonment, suspended for two years.
Friday 26th April - “Both Sides”
SKY NEWS: Trans activists are attempting to shut down an event centring on detransitioners at a medical conference in Australia.
The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists 2024 Congress is scheduled to take place in Canberra on 20th May. Its organisers are under pressure from student activists to cancel an event called “Detransition and regret following gender affirming treatment for gender dysphoria: what psychiatrists need to know” which is to feature three clinical experts on detransitioning.
The Australian National University (ANU)’s Queer* Department is demanding that the College cancel the session, claiming that it is ‘promoting anti-trans rhetoric’, and has launched an online petition. The group claims that the speakers have “Known links to transphobic organisations and publish fearmongering academic articles”. It is threatening escalation to ‘further protest actions’ if it does not receive what it describes as an ‘adequate response’ from the College.
One of the detranistion experts, Dr Robert D’Angelo, told Sky News that he has suffered abuse since ANU’s Queer* Department launched its petition. “A recent academic paper on detransition, whose lead author was a trans person, put it very clearly: detransition has been ‘erased and eradicated’ from the medical literature”, Dr D’Angelo said. “This attempt to shut down our presentation just perpetuates this harmful trend.”
Saturday 27th April - The Keystone Cops
REDUXX: Planned Parenthood has banned a disabled woman from using its Keystone clinic over her expression of gender critical views.
Planned Parenthood (or The Planned Parenthood Federation of America, to use its full title) is a not-for-profit organization which provides reproductive and sexual healthcare for, in its own words, ‘people of all genders’.
The organisation has long been signed up to the gender cult, providing puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones to minors in states all across the US.
In 2022, Planned Parenthood was criticised for actively promoting puberty blockers to children.
This week Reduxx reported that Planned Parenthood’s Keystone clinic barred a disabled woman from using its services over her personal views on gender ideology.
The woman, who uses the pseudonym Jane Lane, had been receiving medical treatment from the Pennsylvanian clinic for over a decade. Occasionally, during her visits there, she had worn t-shirts with gender critical/pro women slogans. She had also discussed the risks to women and children posed by gender ideology.
On 11th April, without any warning, Jane received an email from Trish Tashjian, the Chief Operating Officer of Planned Parenthood Keystone. It informed her that, with immediate affect, the clinic would no longer be her healthcare provider. It went on:
“The dismissal from services is due to repeated offensive conversations and symbols that contradict our commitment to creating an inclusive and compassionate environment for both staff and patients. Numerous complaints from staff members have been received, and a recent complaint from a patient regarding your anti-trans and transphobic rhetoric and symbols has been brought to our attention”.
Jane is now seeking legal advice.
Sunday 28th April - An Accident Waiting To Happen
THE DAILY MAIL: Frightened school children aged 12/13 are being forced to share their classroom with a troubled trans-identified kid who has a ‘hit list’.
Last week we reported on a horrifying story from a middle school in Pennsylvania where a trans-identified teenage boy had brutally attacked a 12-year-old girl. New to the school, the boy had made a ‘hit list’ of pupils he intended to attack. Numerous terrified girls tried to warn school staff about the danger this boy posed. They were ignored. Then the boy attacked one of the girls on his ‘hit list’ and bludgeoned her repeatedly in the head, leaving her needing stitches and treatment for concussion.
This week several news outlets reported on another US school, Watertown Middle School near Boston, Massachusetts, where a trans-identified adolescent has been targeting fellow pupils.
In January a teacher at the school overheard students discussing a trans-identified pupil who has a ‘hit list’. A search of that pupil’s laptop revealed a document entitled ‘hit list’ which included the names of 45 students. The police were notified and the trans-identified student was interviewed.
Following the incident, Watertown Public Schools Superintendent, Dede Galdston, issued a statement claiming that “At no point was there a credible threat to anyone’s safety”. She informed parents that the student concerned would be returned to the classroom. Understandably, parents of the pupils appearing on the ‘hit list’ were extremely concerned about this decision.
Internal emails obtained by a public records request, show that the school’s response to these anxious parents was to accuse them of ‘transphobia’. School principal, Jennifer Chen Fein, sent an email to colleagues stating that the school needs to tackle “Anti-trans and other biased behaviour”. Lily Rayman-Read, a school counsellor, called for “Empathy for the creator” of the ‘hit list’ and expressed a need for the “Immediate creation of an affinity space for LGBTQIA+ families”. Following a meeting at the school, Dede Galdston described the concerns of worried parents as ‘student shaming’.
Later in the week, The Daily Mail published the concerns of an anonymous whistle-blower, the parent of a pupil at Watertown Middle School.
School officials will not reveal the sex or ‘gender identity’ of the pupil who compiled the ‘hit list’. However, the anonymous parent revealed that the pupil is in the 7th grade, so must be 12/13 years old. The parent added that the pupil is “Physically big for a 7th grader — definitely bigger than a majority of students in the school”.
School officials are silencing anxious parents who cannot voice their concerns without being accused of ‘transphobic wrong-think’. “There are people in school leadership who can't or won't differentiate between legitimate concern about the actions of a trans person and a general attack on all trans people.”
The parent also told The Daily Mail that pupils at the school now ‘fear for their lives’, knowing that their school is doing nothing to protect them. “The kid with a 40+ person hit list, who has faced minimal consequences and been favoured at every turn, obviously has a lot of anger — and who knows what they will do.”
See you next week.
Welcome to the Hammer House of Horrors. If there’s one thing that gender ideology is good for, it enables the dregs of society, the rapists, the perverts, the paedophiles, the narcissists, the sports cheats, the aggressive misogynists, the homophobes, the delusional, the virtue signalling handmaidens, the Munchausen mums and the downright thick, to play a full part in society and demand that we all rally round, placate and validate them….. I’m trying very hard to think of a positive and this is the best I’ve come up with. 🙄
Thanks as ever JL.
It's a sad day when you have to question the sex of someone who has committed a serious crime because the media has muddied the waters by reporting a man as a 'woman' when reporting such crimes. Also, shame on the ideologically captured NSPCC.
