REDUXX: A trans-identified male with a prolific social media presence has, for the second time, been arrested on charges relating to images of child sexual abuse.

22-year-old Clayton William Solberg from Galesville, Wisconsin, was arrested for the first time in December 2023 after the local Sheriff’s office received information from the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). He was charged with two counts of possession of child sexual exploitation material. In January he was released on a $2,500 cash bond. The conditions of this bond dictated that Solberg was forbidden from having any contact with minors and prohibited from accessing the internet and devices which can connect to the internet.

While he was awaiting trial, NCMEC became aware that a Dropbox account in Solberg’s ‘feminine’ name and registered to an address in Galesville was transferring child sexual abuse material. Law enforcement officers subsequently searched Solberg’s Google Photos account which revealed yet further illegal images.

In May, county deputies raided Solberg’s home and discovered three internet enabled devices. Solberg was arrested for a second time and his bond was set at $20,000 with the previous restrictions still in place. Solberg posted bond on 12th June.

Solberg has a trans identity and calls himself Sofie Fordo, a name which has been registered in official court documents as one of his aliases. He has an extensive social media presence which seemed to go dark only shortly before his first arrest in December.

Calling himself ‘Slutty Step Sister’, Solberg has posted memes to various Reddit LGBT+ and trans communities. Many of the images he shared involved infantilised female characters created in the style of Japanese animation. He has also posted numerous explicit photos of himself to various pornographic communities, commenting on one graphic image of his genitals that hormone replacement therapy ha caused his penis to shrink. He also operated an OnlyFans site to which he posted very similar content to his small handful of paying subscribers.

Solberg is due to appear in court on 10th July and is facing a total of five counts of felony child pornography possession.

WASHINGTON TIMES: In the US, trans-identified male athletes stole places and titles in the girls’ categories at five separate events.

At least eight male athletes who ‘identify as girls’ took part in state scholastic track and field championships. In the female categories, of course. Of those, five males ‘won’ titles in Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine, Oregon and Washington, all states where legislation allows trans-identified males to compete in girls’ sport.

All-American swimmer and co-founder of the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, (ICONS) commented, “It’s tragic to witness the absurdity of boys dominating girls’ high school sports, with no leadership in these states stepping up to defend girls”.

POST MILLENNIAL: A trans-identified male ‘influencer’ who exposed his breasts at a White House Pride event has been accused of long-term sexual abuse by his trans-identified female partner.

We reported on 28-year-old trans-identified male, Rose Montoya, this time last year when he exposed his ‘breasts’ at a White House ‘family-friendly’ Pride event.

According to The Daily Mail, model and TikTok ‘influencer’, Montoya, has had various ‘feminisation’ surgeries - breast augmentation, a trachea shave (to remove his Adam's apple) and genioplasty (to refine his chin), but he has never undergone any genital surgery and remains fully ‘intact’.

Last June he was invited to a Pride celebration at the White House attended by hundreds of people, including children. While standing on the South Lawn, 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, ‘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.”

Montoya has now been accused of sexual abuse by his trans-identified female former partner, Jesse Diamond, known as TransMuscleBear online. Diamond made these allegations on social media, saying that Montoya sexually abused her repeatedly over the course of a year in 2020. “I was incapable of walking the first 10+ times that she [sic] raped me, she said. “I couldn't run away if I tried and I couldn't afford to stay anywhere else”.

Diamond also shared screenshots of an email which appears to be from Montoya and which implies he admitted to the alleged sexual abuse. It reads, “I'm really sorry I broke your trust and violated you. I genuinely thought for a while that you were triggered by me simply having a phallus… I'm sorry I forced myself on you. I told myself I'd never do something like that to someone else. And here we are”.

Trans activists have been sending abuse to the LGB Alliance youth helpline, threatening volunteers and preventing vulnerable youngsters from seeking help.

One Monday 17th June, the LGB Alliance launched its new youth helpline for gay, lesbian and bisexual youngsters aged 13-24. It is a one-to-one listening service, run by trained and vetted volunteers. There is no other dedicated service for teens and young adults who want to talk about their feelings around being same-sex attracted.

During its first three-hour session, the helpline received a total of 78 abusive contacts from trans activists. These included violent and sexually violent threats against the volunteers with some correspondents pretending they were nearby and observing. Of course, while they were tying up the resources, it meant that vulnerable gay, lesbian and bisexual young people were prevented from accessing help.

As Kate Barker, LGB Alliance CEO, points out, the gender ideologues cannot stand same-sex attracted people having anything for themselves. Everything has to be about them or they’ll seek to destroy it.

Wednesday 19th June - The Process is the Punishment

THE TIMES: Maya Forstater is being subjected to a long-term investigation by the Metropolitan Police following a comment she made on social media regarding the conduct of a trans-identified male GP.

In June last year, Maya Forstater commented on social media about a magazine article featuring a trans-identified male doctor, Kamilla Kamaruddin. She posted, “The magazine front cover features Dr Kamaruddin, who enjoys intimately examining female patients without their consent.” She also shared a link to her own 2020 blog post about the doctor and his conduct. She did not ‘tag’ Kamaruddin or direct her post at him.

In August, Maya received an email from the Metropolitan Police informing her that she was “Currently being investigated for an allegation of malicious communications” but she was not told why. Threatened with arrest if she did not comply, Maya was interviewed under caution at Charing Cross police station. Only then was she informed to what the allegation referred. She said that she stood by her words, believing them to be true and not coming near the threshold required for ‘malicious communication’. A police officer asked her if she understood her comment might be viewed as ‘transphobic’.

The case concerns Dr Kamilla Kamaruddin. He is now the lead clinician at the NHS East of England gender service, but he was an East London GP when he ‘transitioned’ in 2015 at the age of 53. In 2017, Kamaruddin wrote in the British Journal of General Practice about being a ‘transgender GP’. He described his ‘transition’ processes but spoke only of facial ‘feminisation’ surgeries and voice alteration - “I had cheekbone implants, a hair transplant, voice therapy” - and he did not mention whether or not he’d undergone genital surgeries.

In this article, Kamaruddin also commented on the reaction of his patients to his ‘transition’, stating, “The new patients did not ask any questions at all because they either thought I was a female GP or it did not bother them at all that I was a transgender doctor”. He went on, “A lot of my patients were quite conservative — many female patients wore long clothes, or the hijab — but they allowed me to examine them despite my change. In fact, after my transition, they even allowed me to perform more intimate examinations that they did not let me to do when I was a male GP. Every single one of them refused my offer of a chaperone even when they knew that I am transgender”.

Writing in a 2020 Newsweek article, Kamaruddin said that when he first told his colleagues of his intention to ‘transition’, they had asked about informing the patients. He responded, “I told them that I would tell them myself”. As in the aforementioned BJGP piece, he seemed to revel in the reaction of his patients to his transition. “They were happy for me, congratulated me and some gave me nice little presents and cards. The more conservative patients surprised me the most because they embraced me very, very easily. Female patients no longer wanted a chaperone when I had to examine them.”

Kamaruddin expressed similar sentiments in another article about his ‘transition’ which featured in Malaysian Medics International in 2020. Again, on the subject of informing patients, he told his colleagues that he intended to do this himself. “I would tell the patients myself of my new identity”, he said. He described returning to work following his transition ‘wearing bright red lipstick’ and feeling ‘as free as a bird’. He went on to say, “I had a fear that my patients would treat me differently as they might not agree with my new identity due to prejudice and ignorance”.

Again, he talked about patients allowing him to perform intimate examinations, even if they had previously not done so, and declining his offer of a chaperone. He commented, “It felt so good to be accepted as I am because as a doctor, the approval from my patients was necessary…”

Kamaruddin is listed on the GMC’s GP Register as ‘female’

Across several different outlets, Kamaruddin has talked about his female patients, many of them Muslim or from ‘conservative backgrounds’, who allowed him to carry out intimate examinations without the presence of a chaperone. He spoke of this as an extremely positive and validating experience… for him.

In her 2020 blog post, ‘A Question of Consent’, Maya Forstater questioned whether Kamaruddin’s patients were ‘really empowered’ to say ‘no’ to being intimately examined and to refuse a chaperone, given that their doing so may have been viewed as ‘prejudice and ignorance’, and especially if the question was put to them by Kamaruddin himself. If their apparent acceptance of him as a woman was celebrated as a sign of positive affirmation, how could they feel able to say “No”. She asked, “Is it appropriate for a medical practice to see the role of staff and patients as being to validate a doctor’s gender identity with complements, unquestioning acceptance and a letting down of personal sexual and religious boundaries?”

She also questioned whether or not it is appropriate for the ‘transitioning person’ to decide unilaterally that they alone will explain their new trans status to their patients and she pointed to the lack of any safeguarding procedures for patients put in place at the practice.

It was to this blog post Maya linked when she made her so-called ‘malicious’ comment on social media, describing Kamarudinn as a doctor who “Enjoys intimately examining female patients without their consent”. Her post resulted in a 10-month police investigation which remains ongoing.

Describing this situation as ‘bullying and harassment’, Maya told The Times, “Despite my solicitor following up with written representations giving chapter and verse on the law, arguing that the investigation is unjustified and pressing for resolution, I remain under investigation… It was plain when I was interviewed that the police had given no consideration to the contents of my blogpost about Dr Kamaruddin.”

Writing in Unherd, Maya points out, “Understanding that it is morally and legally wrong for a male doctor to examine female patients without their informed consent should not be hard… When a male doctor publicly boasted of intimately examining female patients without their informed consent, the only person whom the Metropolitan Police saw fit to investigate was a woman who pointed it out. The whole state apparatus meant to safeguard women from such abuses has now been turned against those of us who stand up against them.

Thursday 20th June - This Never Happens #3

DAILY MAIL: A trans-identified male has been charged with and, it is reported, has confessed to the brutal and unprovoked murder of his elderly parents.

28 year old Mia Bailey is a trans-identified male who was formerly known as Collin Troy Bailey. According to court records, in July 2023, Bailey filed a petition to legally change his name and ‘gender’. Both requests were granted in August 2023. This week he was charged with the murder of his own parents.

Around 7pm on Tuesday 18th June, police received a phone call, apparently made by Bailey’s brother, from an address in Washington City, Utah. The caller believed that there had been a shooting at his home. Police arrived on the scene and found the bodies of Bailey’s parents. They had been shot dead. According to police records, 70 year old Joseph Bailey had been shot twice and 69 year old Gail Bailey had been shot four times.

Mia Bailey was immediately identified as the primary suspect but he had fled the scene. There followed an overnight manhunt during which a shelter-in-place order was issued, confining local residents to their homes for several hours.

The St George (Utah) Police Department posted news on social media to warn the public that Bailey was at large and should be considered ‘ARMED AND DANGEROUS’. It referred to him with female pronouns.

Bailey was eventually located in a nearby ravine where he tried to evade officers by hiding in the bush. He was apprehended at around 10am on Wednesday 19th June. His arrest was captured on video and shared on online.

According to police, Bailey confessed to the crimes. Arrest documents say that Bailey shot his mother immediately after arriving at the house and then shot his father. They also suggest that, after spending a short time in another part of the house, Bailey returned to his parents, shooting them both in the head to ensure that they were dead.

It is reported that Bailey then fired at the bedroom door behind which his brother and sister-in-law had barricaded themselves. He reportedly told police that, while his brother was not his primary target, he would not have minded if he had shot and killed him. According to arrest documents, Bailey told police that he had no remorse for his crimes and commented, “I would do it again. I hate them.”

Bailey is being charged with seven counts of felony discharge of a firearm, three counts of aggravated murder, and one account of aggravated burglary.

When reporting on this story, media outlets referred to Bailey with female pronouns and many played down or omitted any reference to his true sex. KLS reported on Bailey as a ‘remorseless woman’. While the article does briefly mention Bailey’s trans status, anyone simply reading the headline would assume a woman was responsible for these horrendous crimes.

THE TELEGRAPH: The Scottish government is still dragging its feet over implementation of the Cass Report, despite the intervention of senior clinicians.

In April, following the publication of the Cass Report, Scotland’s Chief Medical Officer, Professor Sir Gregor Smith, agreed to temporarily pause new prescriptions of puberty blockers for children under the age of eighteen.

This week, The Telegraph reported that senior Scottish clinicians urged the SNP government to implement the Cass Review and adopt the ‘English model’ of gender services for minors. However, correspondence has revealed that Sir Gregor, “Under pressure from trans activists to reject the landmark scientific review, has so far refused”. (This correspondence was released to For Women Scotland following their FoI request.)

Sir Gregor cited “Historical differences in clinical approaches in this field” between Scotland and England as a reason for the delay and claimed that “Such a decision should be taken only after full consideration of its potential implications”.

It has also emerged that in 2022 Sir Gregor rejected calls to hold an independent review into the safety of puberty blockers when health boards raised concerns.

Campaigners said this was further evidence that experts are being side-lined in the Scottish NHS, whereas trans activists are being afforded positions of influence. Trina Budge, director of FWS, told The Telegraph, “The most senior clinicians in Scotland could not be clearer that Scotland must follow the science and implement the findings of the Cass Review… It is time for Sir Gregor to finally grow a backbone, stand up to the ideologues and do the right thing for children across Scotland.”

Friday 21st June - London Pride?

UNHERD: A poster featuring a young woman with voluntary mastectomy scars is being used to promote London’s 2024 Pride campaign.

A series of posters have appeared in central London, officially ‘supported by: Mayor of London’, and advertising the city’s 2024 Pride celebrations. They are part of Pride in London’s ‘We are Everywhere’ campaign which, according to the website, “Confronts the increasing attacks on the queer community, particularly those who are trans and non-binary”.

Gender ideology clearly features heavily in this Pride campaign. “Trans and non-binary people are being increasingly dehumanised and targeted in political rhetoric”, it claims. “All while their fundamental rights are rapidly being eroded. Our Government has pledged to implement policy essentially banning the discussion of gender identity in schools...” (Didn’t Pride used to be about achieving and celebrating gay and lesbian equality, not indoctrinating children into a homophobic, damaging and anti-science ideology?)

One of the black and white campaign posters features a topless young woman who, it appears, has had her healthy breasts surgically removed and now bears the scars of an elective double mastectomy. Above her head are the words ‘THEY/THEM’.

The same young woman also features in the official campaign video alongside yet another apparently trans-identified female who appears to have mastectomy scars.

“Gender euphoria”, says the (female) voiceover, “Is like breathing in the freshest air”.

Other voices in the video talk a lot about ‘queerness’ and ‘being queer’. You never hear the word ‘lesbian’ mentioned, though.

Saturday 22nd June - Physician, Heal Thyself

THE TELEGRAPH: Trans activists who campaign against the implementation of the Cass Report and single sex wards have ‘infiltrated the NHS’.

Lobby group, TransActualUK, was formed in 2017. It is “Run by the trans and non-binary communities, with the trans and non-binary communities, for the trans and non-binary communities” and has “A particular focus on healthcare”.

This week, The Telegraph reported that the organisation has infiltrated the NHS, promoting its own ‘training’ and ‘research’ to staff at NHS England. An NHS source told the paper, “These groups have infiltrated, influenced policy, and it’s really dangerous”, and that they campaign for “Privacy and dignity, but only if you are transgender”.

TransActualUK has issued instructions on how to respond to the NHS consultation to reject the government’s proposals for single-sex wards.

The group also rejects the Cass Report and, together with the Good Law Project, is taking legal action against the government to reverse its ban on prescribing puberty blockers to children.

One of TransActualUK’s co-directors is trans-identified female, Chay Brown, who has held senior roles at Stonewall. She is a patient voice representative on NHS England’s national programme board for gender services and, according to information received by The Telegraph, attends meetings with the service leaders.

Jane Fae

The other co-director at TransActualUK is trans-identified male, Jane Fae (previously John Omizek). He was a middle aged and married man and the father of a teenage daughter when he ‘came out’ as trans and began his ‘transition’. He now describes himself as a ‘feminist’ though his approach to women’s rights and spaces seems anything but ‘feminist’. He is also a long-standing and stalwart defender of even the most extreme forms of pornography.

Helen Joyce, director of Sex Matters, told The Telegraph it is “Outrageous that activist employees within NHS England continue to engage groups like TransActual for programmes and events… NHS England bosses need to act firmly to remove all traces of gender-identity ideology throughout the healthcare system.”

Sunday 23rd June - A Room of One’s Own

DAILY MAIL: NHS nurses have had to take legal action after being forced to share their locker room with a trans-identified male.

Last month we reported that a group of nurses at an NHS trust in the North East has launched an employment tribunal, having been forced to share a supposedly women-only changing room with a male colleague who identifies as trans.

The nurses are all employed at Darlington Memorial Hospital. Since August 2023 they have been expected to share their changing room with a 26-year-old trans-identified male. Known as ‘Rose’, this man has not undergone any physical alteration and, by his own admission, does not take cross-sex hormones as he and his female partner are trying to start a family. The nurses say that ‘Rose’ stares at their breasts when they are in a state of undress, walks around in his boxer shorts and lingers in their changing room ‘longer than necessary’.

The changing room is open plan and does not have individual changing cubicles so the women have no escape from ‘Rose’. Unsurprisingly, they have found this situation ‘intimidating and upsetting’. Despite their raising this issue numerous times with NHS trust managers, no action was taken.

In March, 26 nurses made a written complaint to NHS management about this situation. “We do not consider it appropriate to have a sexually active biological male sharing our changing facilities”, they wrote. Their letter also explained that ‘Rose’ takes a ‘keen interest’ in female staff when they are getting undressed.

The nurses did not receive a written response but say there followed an ‘impromptu meeting’ at which an HR manager told them they ‘need to compromise’. According to further correspondence sent by the nurses, they were instructed by HR to ‘be more inclusive’, ‘broaden their mindset’ and ‘be educated and attend training’. Following this offensive and dismissive response eight of the nurses began legal proceedings against County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, claiming harassment, indirect discrimination, victimisation and human rights violations.

Four of these brave women - Bethany Hughes, Lisa Lockey, Annice Grundy and Tracey Hooper - have chosen to waive their anonymity in order to speak out against the appalling and unacceptable position the NHS has forced them into.

Bethany Hutchison, a surgery nurse, said, “It’s disgraceful that nurses are ending up in tears prior to their shifts. We are there to be an emotional support for patients who are about to undergo surgery, and it’s very difficult to do that if you’re in a state of distress from having to change in front of a male… We’re not transphobic and we’re not fearful of trans people – we believe they need their own changing space that’s safe for them”.

Another claimant, Lisa Lockey, told The Daily Mail, “We get transgender patients through our unit and we look after them. We’re nurses, we care about people, that’s our job, so it is an insult that we’ve been made to feel like we’re bigots… We’ve all been really uneasy about [coming forward]. We know there’s a lot of trans activists who will probably hate us for what we’re doing. But it’s not against trans people. This is about protecting a female’s space. It’s not to hurt anybody, we want a safe policy”.

As an infection control measure, nurses must change their clothes at the hospital before and after their shift. It’s claimed that many female staff members now use toilet cubicles instead of the changing room to avoid ‘Rose’. Of course, this situation is especially problematic for women of certain faiths and cultures. Some staff have taken to wearing leggings and tops underneath their uniforms to avoid ‘Rose’ being about to see their bodies, despite the discomfort these extra clothes cause.

Tracey Hooper, another of the nurses involved, said that sharing the changing room with Rose makes her feel on edge. She said, “You scan the changing room before you start to undress. It’s just very uncomfortable. I don’t want to get changed in front of a biological man, and I don’t want to see him getting changed either”. Annice Grundy, a fourth claimant said, “I won’t get changed in that changing room any more – I’ve found somewhere else to change, which I don’t feel I should have to do”.

No, she shouldn’t.

See you next week.
