Monday 4th March - The Uncivil Service
THE TELEGRAPH: It has been alleged that trans rights activists in the civil service are subverting government policies and creating a ‘culture of fear’ within Whitehall.
Campaign group, SEEN, has written to the Cabinet Office, describing a widespread ‘culture of fear’ created by the trans rights activists inside government departments.
The 30-page letter was sent to Simon Case, the Cabinet Secretary, in October. It claims that gender zealots in Whitehall have deliberately subverted government policy, removing contributions to government consultations that relate to sex instead of gender, briefing external groups on how to navigate around ministerial guidance and divulging internal policy to lobby groups. They have also engaged in the “Active obfuscation of facts to prevent ministers seeing the impact of trans inclusive policies”.
The letter also describes the extensive ‘bullying and harassment’ of gender critical Civil Service staff, particularly in the Ministry of Defence where ‘dissenting’ employees have been threatened with disciplinary action.
Describing the content of its gender awareness training sessions, the letter alleges that gender-critical Civil Service staff have been compared with the Klu Klux Klan and anti-Semites. As an example, it cites an excerpt from one workshop which stated: “Racism won’t come into your workplace as hoods and burning crosses but as ‘nationalism’ or ‘patriotism’. Transphobia is the same… ‘I’m just protecting women and girls’… ‘This undermines women’s hard-fought for sex based rights’… There is no such thing as women’s sex-based rights and even if there was, how would a man transitioning and getting that right stop women from having that right? So switch your ears off.”
This training was provided by an organisation called a:gender on which we have reported in the past. It bills itself as “The support network for trans and intersex staff across Government” and it trains thousands of civil servants every year, from the NHS to the Cabinet Office.
In June 2022 Janice Turner wrote in The Times about seeing a recording of an official a:gender training session. Although the group prohibits any recording of its training, concerned women in the civil service secretly taped an a:gender workshop and sent it to JAnice Turner. She wrote, “Having endured 90 minutes of anti-scientific, legally fallacious twaddle, I can see why it avoids scrutiny… This ‘training’ violates central principles of the civil service code: integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality”.
In the recording of this training session, the course leader states that being a woman/female cannot be defined and insists that describing someone as an ‘adult human female’ is ‘bigoted’. She says, “We don’t actually need to be able to define what makes somebody male or female to accept when someone is a man or a woman”.
Other outrageous claims made by the presenter include sex being randomly ‘assigned at birth’, there being a ‘biological component to gender identity’ which makes it innate and gender identity being a scale of ‘woman-ness’ and ‘man-ness’. She also tells her audience that ‘transphobia is increasingly presented as feminism’ and claims that there is ‘no conflict’ between women’s rights and trans rights.
A:gender’s very obvious agenda was exposed almost two years ago. Why on earth are these people still being allowed to train our civil servants?

NEW ZEALAND HERALD: The man who repeatedly punched a 71-year-old woman in the face at a Let Women Speak event has walked free from court without conviction.
In March 2023, violent trans rights activists derailed the Standing For Women event in Auckland. The baying mob chanted aggressive, expletive-laden slogans, held aloft signs bearing threats and insults, overturned barriers, and intimidated and assaulted stewards and attendees.
An eyewitness called Caitlin described the crowd as ‘feral’. Writing in a Substack post she said, “The protesters on the rotunda were overwhelmingly men. Not men in dresses as you might expect at such an event (although there were some) – just ordinary looking men. They shoved women, they screamed in our faces… I underestimated the hysteria that had been whipped up. I underestimated the police. I never seriously thought I would be in real actual danger attending a speaking event in New Zealand.”
Even senior women were not safe from the violent males who stormed the event. 71-year-old Judith Hobson was punched repeatedly in the head by a young bearded man. She suffered severe bruising to her face and neck and was subsequently diagnosed with concussion. The assailant fled the scene, but footage of the attack circulated on social media and police were able to identify and, eventually, apprehend him.
This week the assailant appeared in Auckland District Court. Although he admitted to a charge of common assault, Judge Kevin Glubb granted him a discharge without conviction and granted him a permanent name suppression. The assailant was ordered to pay $1000 (around £480) in reparation to his victim. The judge commented that, “The gravity of a conviction on the young man would be out of proportion to the seriousness of his offending.”
Speaking to The NZ Herald, Judith explained how the trauma of the assault has adversely affected and ‘shrunk’ her life. “I have trouble sleeping because I flash straight back to the assault when my eyes are closed. I manage a few hours sleep a night, some nights, but only with a sleeping pill. This has hindered my healing and emotional well-being as this injury has had cascading negative consequences for me.”
Speaking of her assailant’s discharge without conviction, she commented, “This is an absolute joke, and he’s a disgrace… I am absolutely livid that he has walked out of the court with, in my opinion, virtually no consequences whatsoever. It’s no wonder victims don’t go to court, because they become victims all over again.” Of her attacker being granted permanent name suppression, Judith said “He shouldn’t be able to hide.”
Also Today - We Told You So
EL ESPAÑOL: Men in Spain are exploiting the ‘trans law’ and changing their ‘gender’ in order to pursue benefits and opportunities usually reserved for women.
We have written on numerous occasions about Spain’s ‘la ley trans’ (the trans law), legislation which allows anyone aged sixteen and over to legally change their sex with a simple bit of paperwork. Since this law was passed in February 2023, 5,139 people have requested a change of legal registered sex in Spain, a four-fold increase from the 2022 figures. Of that number, 61.49% of the applicants are men.
Just as Spanish feminists prophesied, ‘la ley trans’ is now being used by predators, chancers and grifters for their own nefarious purposes. This week El Español reported on the dozens of men in just one small area alone who are pretending a trans identity for their own gain.
It revealed that in city of Ceuta, at least 37 males have changed their legal sex without the slightest alteration to their name, appearance, physicality or circumstance. Most of them are employed in in the military, civil guard or the police and, since filing the paperwork, they are enjoying the benefits usually reserved for females. Whereas in other parts of Spain, judges can deny a change of legal sex if they believe the applicant is acting with ‘spurious intent’, Ceuta, is an autonomous region with no such restrictions and non-compliant judges can suffer severe legal consequences.
One of the Ceuta residents to exploit ‘la ley trans’ is 35-year-old army corporal, Roberto Perdigones, who changed his ‘gender’ in March 2023, soon after the law was implemented. “Before, I was screwed because I complied with the law. Now, I’m still complying with the law but, after finding my gender situation, I’ve been benefited. And if someone criticizes me, they may be committing a crime of transphobia,” he said.
Now Perdigones enjoys a variety of benefits which come with his new ‘gender identity’. He does not have to conform to the dress code applied to males in the forces, he has a private room and bathroom in the army barracks and his retirement pension has increased by about 15% since he is now deemed to be a ‘mother’ with a child. Furthermore, Perdigones intends to seek a promotion and will be exploiting the ‘affirmative action’ scheme which was intended to increase the number of females in senior roles in the Spanish armed forces.
Of even greater concern is that Perdigones also intends to exploit his new ‘gender identity’ to pursue custody of the estranged child he hasn’t seen in over a decade. “I have a 16-year-old son, from a former relationship. As a father, I hadn’t seen him since he was three years old. But now I am no longer a father, now I am a non-gestating mother. This means that I can fight on equal terms with his biological mother.”
I hate to say we told you so…
Tuesday 5th March - The UN-Female Delegates
Last week we reported that trans-identified male, Katie (formerly Martin) Neeves, a late-transitioning father of one who talks a lot about knickers, is to be a UN Women UK delegate to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.
Founded in 1946, The UN’s Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is a global intergovernmental body “Dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women”. It describes itself as “Instrumental in promoting women’s rights, documenting the reality of women’s lives throughout the world”. But it seems that Neeves is only one of many trans-identified males being chosen as delegates for this supposedly female-focused body.
Another male delegate is Pippa/Philip Bunce, the so-called ‘gender fluid’ Credit Suisse director and father of two who’ll turn up to work in a suit one day then dons a short dress, high heels and a blond wig the next.
Two further trans-identified male delegates are Bobbi Pickard and Eva Echo, respectively the CEO and director of lobby group, Trans in the City, “The world’s largest organisation for trans and non-binary people in business”.
Bobbi Pickard is a former trustee of scandal-beset charity, Mermaids.
He claims to be a lesbian. If actual lesbians protest, he suggests they ‘find a way to deal with it’ or ‘mind their own business’.
He also uses the insult ‘TERF’ and makes fun of women’s concerns around privacy and safeguarding.
Eva Echo, a ‘brand ambassador’ for the London Transgender Clinic, is a trans activist who can speak at length about his ‘scandalous nipples’.
According to a Daily Mail article published in February 2022, 40-year-old Echo married his 30-year-old wife, Pippa, in 2013 and ‘came out’ as transgender in 2017. The article reported that Echo has spent around £15,000 on facial feminisation surgery but has not undergone any ‘sex reassignment’ surgery. A year prior to this article’s publication, Echo shared to social media a photograph of himself in which he’s using a female toilet.
In December 2022, Echo attacked Women and Equalities Minister, Kemi Badenoch, after she criticised the Scottish Government's gender recognition bill. Posting on his Twitter account, Echo described Badenoch as a ‘raging transphobe’.
He also attacked JK Rowling when reacting to comments made by other social media users. Responding to an Instagram post telling JK Rowling to “Shut the fuck up you fucking cockwomble”, Echo replied, “Hahaha, love it!!”. Another Instagram user commented that JK Rowling “Needs to be taken down from the world”. Echo replied, “Agreed.
Echo told Maya Forstater she was ‘making it up’ when a Sex Matters poll showed there are high levels of support for maintaining women’s single-sex services. Furthermore, Echo accused Baroness Emma Nicholson of ‘chatting shit’ when she expressed her opinion about so-called ‘sex reassignment surgery’.
Baroness Emma Nicholson has dedicated her life to public service, not only as a politician, but also through her extensive charity work, striving to improve the lives of vulnerable children, refugees and victims of sexual violence. She has set up and worked for a number of charities and is particularly well-known for her humanitarian work in the Middle East.
Echo believes Baroness Nicholson should “Educate her crusty privileged white-ass self”.
No male should ever be allowed to speak for or represent women. However, it’s hard to imagine any men less appropriate to do so than those chosen by the UN.
Wednesday 6th March - The Get Out Of Jail Free Card
THE DAILY MAIL: A sadistic killer serving life for the murder and dismemberment of a young man in 2012 was moved out of his maximum security prison because he now claims a trans identity.
In 2012, 30-year-old self-styled ‘international escort and model’, Luka Magnotta, murdered Chinese engineering student, Jun Lin, at his apartment in Montreal, Canada. Magnotta killed Lin with a screwdriver, dismembered his body and committed acts of necrophilia. He filmed his brutal crimes in horrifying detail, posting the 11-minute video online and calling it ‘1 Lunatic, 1 Ice Pick’.
Following the murder, Magnotta mailed Jun Lin’s body parts around the country. He posted Lin’s hands and feet, wrapped in pink tissue paper and black gift bags, to politicians in Ottawa and to two schools in Vancouver. He put Lin’s torso and legs in a suitcase which he dumped and he disposed of Lin’s head in a park.
Almost a decade prior to this grisly murder, Magnotta killed two kittens, suffocating them in a plastic bag with a vacuum cleaner. He filmed this barbaric act and uploaded the video, which he called ‘1 boy, 2 kittens’, to the internet. (And if this all sounds very familiar, it is. Magnotta is said to have ‘inspired’ another trans-identified male who murdered in cold blood, Scarlet Blake.)
Following a high-profile trial in 2014, Magnotta was convicted of first-degree murder and he received an automatic life sentence with no possibility of parole for 25 years. He was subsequently sent to a maximum security prison, the Port-Cartier Institution in Quebec.
This week it has been revealed that Magnotta was moved from this facility in 2022 and accommodated in a medium security prison, reportedly because he has now begun identifying as trans and calling himself ‘Violette’. This is isn’t the first time he has tried re-inventing himself; he changed his name from Eric Newman to Luka Magnotta after serving a prison sentence for fraud.
The Toronto Sun reported that it has seen a partially redacted 2022 report on Magnotta produced by a team from the McGill University Sexual Identity Centre. The doctors do not believe that Magnotta suffers with gender dysphoria. Nevertheless, the report still refers to him with female pronouns and uses the name ‘Violette’.
The McGill clinicians believe that Magnotta’s feelings are the result of a “Fragile identity and need to periodically reinvent himself” as a defence against “Internal homophobia” and to protect himself from other inmates. Furthermore, “The narrative of being born in the wrong body may be a way for this patient to wipe the slate clean once again and reshaping herself [sic] to preserve the illusion of specialness (and innocence).”
The doctors recommended “Offering space and support to explore around a proper gender identity exploration that would allow Violette to express and present her [sic] gender as she [sic] sees fit and for her [sic] to experience living within this gender identity.” He was subsequently moved to a medium security prison.
The power of a trans identity. Even when it isn’t believed, it’s indulged.
Thursday 7th March - This Never Happens
REDUXX: A Canadian trans-identified male paedophile has been arrested for a second time for the possession of child sexual abuse images.
Krystel (formerly Danny) Lauzon is a 39-year-old male who lives in Val-David, Quebec. On his Facebook page he describes himself as “Une Femme Trans en procédure pour hormono-thérapie (A trans woman undergoing hormone therapy)”.
On social media he has often voiced support for the medicalisation of gender confused minors, with many of his posts involving dubious images of ‘transed’ children and young teens.
In 2022, Lauzon was convicted of charges of the production, distribution, and possession of child sexual abuse materials. He was sentenced to four years in prison but appears to have been released in autumn 2023.
On 11th January, Lauzon was again arrested on charges relating to child sexual abuse images. Officers from the provincial police force’s Internet Sexual Exploitation of Children Investigation Team searched his home and his computer equipment was seized for forensic analysis.
According to The Montreal Journal, police officers also seized around 100 methamphetamine tablets and 45 packs of contraband cigarettes.
Some media reports of Lauzon’s arrest, refer to him as a woman. Both L’Info Du Nord and CIME Laurentides describe him as a woman (‘une femme’) and use female pronouns with which to refer to him. Neither mention his true sex or trans identity.
Friday 8th March - Even On International Women’s Day
Look who Channel 4 included on a panel supposedly celebrating IWD.
4 Womxn is Channel 4’s “Gender equality employee network, empowering women in our organisation to achieve success, whatever that looks like for them”. (Perhaps the best way to empower women would be to recognise them as an independent sex class and stop using the meaningless non-word ‘womxn’? Or allow them a staff network of their own which doesn’t have to include ‘everyone’?)
For its panel celebrating International Women’s Day, 4Womxn chose Jordan Gray, the man who pretends to be a lesbian and exposed himself on live television, playing the piano with his penis after singing a self-penned misogynistic song (“I’m just better than you... My tits will never sink and I’m guaranteed to squirt and I do anal by default…”).
Last year, to celebrate International Women’s Day, The Independent published an article in which Gray mansplained his definition of the word ‘woman’. It was, as you might imagine, just puerile bilge. His view of what it means to be a woman veers from meaningless stereotypes (“A woman takes a licking and keeps on kicking”) to the utterly ludicrous (“Every woman has the electromagnetic quantum power of Captain Marvel coursing through her being”) to the downright offensive. Of that latter category, only a man could claim, “A woman’s rights can never be taken away”.
Really, Mr Gray? Then what of the women and girls who die in menstruation huts, who are forced into sexual slavery and child marriage, who suffer domestic and sexual violence, who are denied an education, bodily autonomy and independence, who are trafficked and prostituted, who suffer FGM, who were the victims of female infanticide…? Their fate is the result of being born female into a society which really does take women’s rights away.
Meanwhile, in Scotland today, The National Scot published an edition of the paper supposedly produced and written exclusively by women.
But, of course, it was not. One of the articles was written by trans-identified male, Ellie Gomersall. For Women Scotland described his article as ‘inappropriate & harmful’ and a ‘testerical hate-fuelled tantrum’ in which Gomersall lies about the women who dare to challenge him.
A BBC article about Gomersall published 18 months ago states that he does not have a GRC because he has never been diagnosed with gender dysphoria. (He is, obviously, a vocal supporter of self ID legislation.)
He not only thinks that “It's dangerous to define what a woman is” but also believes that men can be women simply by ‘feeling’ that they are one.
He describes the LGB Alliance as a ‘hate group’.
He believes that abortion is somehow an issue which affects ‘trans women’.
He wouldn’t live in Scotland if a woman who stands up for women’s rights was the First Minister.
And this is the man The National Scot has included in a supposedly all-female edition of the paper to mark IWD.
The trans community has International Transgender Day of Visibility (31st March), International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (17th May), Trans Awareness Week (12th-18th November), Transgender Day of Remembrance (20th November), they are included in LGBT History Month (February) and LGBT Pride Month (June UK / October USA & Canada) and they get a Non-binary Awareness Week (11th - 19th July) and an International Non-Binary People's Day (14th July).
But still women are not allowed one single solitary day to ourselves on which trans-identified males will not demand inclusion.
Saturday 9th March - The Perfect Trojan Horse
THE DAIL MAIL: A male ‘non-binary’ teacher in Alaska has been suspended from his job after a video of his genitalia-revealing dress went viral.
Fletch Fletcher is a language teacher at Dimond High School in Alaska. He is male but ‘identifies’ as non-binary’. This week he was suspended from his job after social media account, Libs of TikTok, shared a video of him teaching a class wearing a dress so tight and flimsy that his male genitalia could be clearly seen through it.
In addition to sharing the video footage, which was apparently recorded by a student, Libs of TiKTok commented, “He [Fletcher] likes to wear tight dresses to school so his bulge sticks out. I'm told he also wears very tight pants and it makes the students extremely uncomfortable. He reportedly also makes students call him 'Mx' instead of 'Mr.' because he's nonbinary. How is this appropriate for school?”
Dimond High School’s initial response was to make its X (formerly Twitter) account private, block the Libs of TikTok account, and then defend Fletcher and his clothing choices. A leaked email from school principal, Tina Johnson-Harris, reads:
“We are reaching out to inform you about a situation involving a member of our Dimond High School staff. Unfortunately, this employee is the subject of focus on social media and other media platforms.
We have reviewed the relevant information and found that the communications are malicious and harassing in nature, and were taken out of context. We will continue to monitor the situation. We encourage everyone to refrain from communicating falsehoods, misinterpretations, innuendos, and/or bias.
Given the nature of the circumstances, this is a personnel matter and all of our staff and students have the right to privacy and safety. Dimond High School is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive campus in which the safety and well-being of all students and staff are a priority.”
The following day it was announced that Fletcher is on leave ‘pending the outcome of our investigation’.
Sunday 10th March - The Clocks Were Striking 13 in Oregon
REDUXX: A woman in Portland has been convicted of a ‘hate crime’ after challenging a trans-identified male using a women’s toilet.
35-year-old Riis (formerly Ronald) Larsen is a male trans activist. On his (now private) Instagram profile, he describes himself as a “Super average working class revolubetionary catgirl hornydoll bimboscholar polayamorous artist memequeen cuddleslut völva marxist trans carpentress”.
He also has a YouTube channel to which he has posted only one 14-minute long video in which he wears a lacy yellow dress and his hair in pigtails. In between lengthy periods of silence during which he pouts, sighs and stares into the camera, he affects a high-pitched child-like voice to ramble incoherently about himself and his ‘transness’.
40-year-old Cassandra McIntyre was a bar tender at a sports bar in Portland. In December 2022, having just finished her shift, she reportedly heard customers complaining that Larsen had jumped the queue for the women’s single-cubicle toilet, pushing female patrons out of his way. McIntyre confronted Larsen as he exited the toilet stall, telling him to use the men’s room. This resulted in McIntyre facing ‘hate crime’ charges after Larsen contacted the police, claiming he’d been physically shoved and ‘misgendered’.
Video surveillance shows McIntyre lightly pushing Larsen but she said she was simply ‘making space’. According to The Post Millennial, prosecutors concentrated on McIntyre’s so-called ‘misgendering’ of Larsen, arguing that her use of male pronouns was a ‘second-degree bias crime’. McIntyre explained that she had not deliberately ‘misgendered’ Larsen. “I wasn’t trying to misgender her [sic] — I had to look up what transgender was in the dictionary. We were just arguing over spilt milk”, she said.
In court McIntyre apologised for ‘misgendering’ Larsen and offered to refrain from visiting a local bar so that he would have a ‘safe place’ to go. Nevertheless, she was found guilty of second-degree bias crime and harassment and sentenced to two years probation and 50 hours of community service.
It seems that pointing out a man is a man and shouldn’t be using women’s facilities is now a ‘hate crime’ in Oregon.
See you next week.
Thanks JL. Not sure if you're also in NZ on tour or if that's just Are Graham, but I understand if you can't legally name the guy who battered Judith Hobson.
However, I'm in Scotland so while our free speech rights are also a bit shaky, the NZ court ruling isn't applicable here, so I'll happily add that his name is Jack Hudner. He's got rid of the beard apparently but still has that creepy glaikit expression and does art and animation funded by his rich family (because of course he does). Another coddled posh boy playing at progressivism.
A mountain of excrement in this edition JL. When are people going to see the bedrock of lies on which trans activism is founded. I still find people are referring to genuine "trans" people as opposed, I assume, to the opportunists pretending. They are ALL pretending. They are all liars. Some lie to themselves but it doesn't make them genuine.
