A Week in the War on Women: Monday 26th June - Sunday 2nd July
Monday 26th June - “Both Sides”
THE DAILY MAIL: A former trans activist who now campaigns for women’s sex based rights was physically attacked at New York’s pride march.
K Yang is a researcher, writer, film maker, artist, and campaigner. She is a former trans activist who once used they/them pronouns and worked for a non-profit LGBT organisation funded by the New York State Department of Health. For years she was a 'trans educator' and would visit New York’s public schools and local businesses to ‘educate’ employees and children about gender ideology.
Eventually, she came to recognise the harm caused by trans dogma and that children are being indoctrinated into a dangerous ideology. She now speaks against trans activism, advocating for women’s sex-based rights and fighting to protect children. She is the creator of Stop Female Erasure! and The Deprogrammer websites.
On Saturday K Yang attended the New York City pride event in Washington Square Park. She was holding a sign which read “Defend Female Sex Based Rights”. She was physically attacked by a group of trans activists who tore her sign from her and, as reported by The Daily Mail, “She was hit in the head” in the process.
K Yang posted on social media to describe what had happened. “I was just kicked, hit, pushed, mobbed by dozens of people”, she wrote.
In one recording of the incident, male trans activists can be seen trying to intimidate K Yang by crowding her and swearing at her and a trans-identified male with dyed red hair deliberately kicks her in the back.
Another recording of the incident shows the same trans-identified male grabbing her sign, aggressively ripping it from her grasp and running away with it.
Both sides, eh?
Also Today - Women Aren’t Allowed Anything Of Our Own
SCOTTISH DAILY EXPRESS: An event supposedly intended to motivate women into pursuing political roles in Scotland allowed trans-identified males to attend.
Elect Her is an initiative, funded by the Scottish government, supposedly aimed at encouraging women to engage in politics and ensure that women are better represented in elected roles.
On Saturday 24th June Elect Her hosted an event at the Scottish Parliament “To celebrate women in political power”. It offered women an opportunity to participate in activities and workshops to explore involvement in political life and to hear from the women in elected office. “We can make sure your voice is heard”, it promised.
However, with a number of the limited spaces taken up by trans-identified males, some women weren’t able to attend at all, let alone make their voices heard.
One attendee, for example, was Ellie Gomersall, a trans-identified male who is president of the Scottish NUS and has already been selected by the Scottish Green Party to run as a council and MSP candidate.
According to Tina Budge of For Women Scotland, many women chose not to attend the event at all, knowing that there would be males in attendance. “Some left halfway through the event in disgust”, she said, “While others found themselves in workshops where men felt entitled to speak on their behalf”.
There was similar news from Ireland this week. Women For Election is an organisation that campaigns to encourage more women into political roles. According to its website, “Women for Election inspires, equips and supports women to succeed in Irish Politics”.
And in order to ‘inspire’ and ‘support’ women into public roles, Women For Election has just appointed a man as their CEO.
Tuesday 27th June - This Never Happens #1
BBC NEWS: The ‘non-binary’ gunman who murdered five people at a Colorado Springs nightclub last November has been sentenced to life imprisonment.
On Saturday 19th November 2022, Club Q, an LGBT venue in Colorado Springs, was the scene of horrific and senseless violence. Customers were enjoying a dance party at the venue when 23-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich, wearing body armour and wielding an AR-15 style rifle, opened fire on them. He killed five people and wounded 17 others before being restrained by one of the patrons.
We extend our most sincere sympathy to the families and friends of the victims, Daniel Aston, Derrick Rump, Kelly Loving, Ashley Paugh and Raymond Vance.
Of course, this appalling tragedy was weaponised by trans activists who tried to blame it on women defending their sex-based rights.
However, it was then revealed that Aldrich has a trans identity. His lawyers said that their client identifies as non-binary, uses they/them pronouns and will be referred to as Mx Aldrich in court and on case documentation etc.
Trans activists and their enablers subsequently ignored this revelation or refused to accept Aldrich’s ‘gender identity’.
Yahoo ran a headline about Aldrich claiming to be non-binary and published an article that questions the validity of his gender identity. “The request that Aldrich be addressed with non-binary pronouns has led to speculation that the move may be intentionally misleading… The filing appears to mark the first time that Aldrich has ever been publicly referred to as non-binary”.
Similarly, when CNN anchor, Alisyn Camerota, reported live on air that Aldrich's Lawyers were referring to their client as ‘they’ and ‘Mx’ in court sessions and filings, she commented, “I don’t know what to say about that” and continued to use male pronouns when referring to him. Errol Lewis, CNN political commentator, also continued to use male pronouns when talking about Aldrich and suggested that his gender identity was manufactured to garner sympathy in court.
Speaking on CNN, trans-identified male, Natalee Bingham, described Aldrich’s gender identity as ‘completely ludicrous’. Without a trace of irony, Bingham commented, “It was obvious with the mugshot, that's a man… That's not a non-binary person because in no way, shape, or form could they appear as a woman the next day”.
Surely the rhetoric dictates ‘acceptance without exception’ and that preferred pronouns are sacrosanct?
This week, having pleaded guilty to murder and attempted murder, Aldrich was sentenced to five consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole and 46 consecutive 48-year sentences.
In court, his lawyers still maintained that he is ‘non-binary’ and asked he be referred to with the ‘gender-neutral’ honorific Mx, a request with which the judge complied. In its article on his sentencing, the BBC referred to him with they/them pronouns.
But we know male violence when we see it.
Gender zealots have a choice to make; either Aldrich is non-binary because he says he is and nobody would ever identify as trans just because it is expedient to do so, or, as feminists have been pointing out for years, violent and dangerous males will exploit gender identity ideology for their own purposes.
Wednesday 28th June - The Clocks Are Striking 13 At GLAAD
A powerful LGBTQ lobby group is teaming up with celebrities to pressure social media platforms into banning criticism of medical interventions for gender-confused minors.
Glaad is a hugely influential US-based LGBT organisation with a particular interest in the media and entertainment industries. According to its own website, Glaad seeks to “Shape the narrative and provoke dialogue that leads to cultural change”.
But Glaad isn’t just ‘shaping the narrative’, it’s taking names. As we reported in March 2021, it set up an Accountability Project to inform on anyone in the public eye who expresses anything other than GLAAD-approved opinions. “The continually updated collection of over 200 profiles is a resource for journalists and the general public which documents anti-LGBTQ words and actions from politicians, commentators, organization heads, journalists and other public figures.”
Who decides what constitutes ‘anti-LGBTQ words and actions’? Glaad does, of course. And their definition seems to involve anything other than slavish adherence to gender identity ideology. Hence JK Rowling and Abigail Shrier found themselves on the same ‘bigot list’ as Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
And now Glaad is trying to silence any dissenting voices who challenge the rhetoric around gender identity ideology and, in conjunction with a gang of clueless and/or self-serving public figures, has issued an open letter to major social media platforms.
“As celebrities, influencers, and prominent public figures with significant followings on social media, we the undersigned are calling on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter to fulfill [sic] the promises you’ve made to transgender, nonbinary, gender non-conforming and all LGBTQ users in your terms of service. There has been a massive systemic failure to prohibit hate, harassment, and malicious anti-LGBTQ disinformation on your platforms and it must be addressed.”
The letter goes on to detail what constitutes ‘hate’ and ‘disinformation’ using as an example, “Targeted misgendering and deadnaming of trans and nonbinary people”. Or, in other words, accurately referring to someone’s sex and being able to use someone’s real name. (As we’ve seen on countless occasions, the taboo around ‘deadnaming’ is a gift to predators and violent males who try to bury past crimes with a new identity.)
Of the greatest concern, however, is Glaad’s demand that social media platforms ban any criticism of what it erroneously describes as ‘medically necessary healthcare for transgender youth’.
The ever-burgeoning evidence shows, time and again, that medical interventions for children and adolescents who suffer with gender issues are experimental, untested and have long-term harmful and irreversible effects.
A number of European countries - the UK, Sweden, Finland, Norway and France - have now vetoed the prescribing of puberty blockers to minors, alarmed by the lack of research into their use and their potential irreversible side effects. Such news is finally being reported in the American media.
The Wall Street Journal recently published an article describing America as an ‘outlier’ in its medicalisation of gender-confused children.
The Hill reported that “Europeans are following principles of evidence-based medicine while Americans are not”.
And the voices of detransitioners are growing ever-louder.
Nevertheless, Glaad and its useful idiots are shilling for the medicalisation of vulnerable children. Even more chilling, they are determined to silence those sounding the alarm.

THE TELEGRAPH: An Edinburgh children’s hospital dedicated its ‘spiritual care’ room to the cult of gender ideology.
A few weeks ago we reported that NHS Lothian hosted a Pride event. The march began outside the Sick Kids hospital (more formally known as the Royal Hospital for Children and Young people).
The controversial lobby group, LGBT Youth Scotland (LGBTYS), was involved in planning and designing the event alongside NHS Lothian’s LGBT+ staff network and staff from the Sick Kids hospital.
During the 2000s, LGBTYS (then called Lesbian & Gay Youth Scotland) was led for years by paedophile, James Rennie, whose horrific crimes involved the rape of babies. At his trial in 2009 it was revealed that Rennie had made contacts using the computers at the LGBTYS offices where he had worked for 8 years. Earlier this year, LGBTYS referred itself to the authorities after two young men came forward to allege that they were groomed and sexually exploited by charity staff when they were children. A few months later a former LGBTYS volunteer made shocking allegations about the lack of child safeguarding measures in place while he was working there.
Nevertheless, the Sick Kids hospital seemed determined to curry favour with this controversial organisation, desperate to gain its approval in the form of a charter. (Their wish was granted this week and their charter was awarded.)
Recently, the Sick Kids hospital displayed a large pink and blue trans flag on the building. Now it is in the news for yet more flag-waving after turning its quiet prayer room into a shrine to gender ideology for Pride month.
The ‘spiritual care’ room was originally intended as a sanctuary for gravely ill children and their families and designed to be a quiet space for those suffering grief or trauma. It was renamed a ‘chill-out zone’ for Pride month and bedecked with dozens of flags supposed to represent various sexualities and ‘genders’.
The family of a terminally ill toddler told The Telegraph that they were no longer able to use the prayer room as it had been turned into a ‘display of activism’. One family member explained, “We are all very traumatised by the situation we’re facing. Sometimes prayer is the only thing we have. My family and I are leaning on our faith as we face the worst fear and trauma of our lives, but as it stands we can’t use what is meant to be the hospital’s prayer room”.
The chaplaincy at the hospital is operated by Maxwell Reay, a trans-identified female. On June 18th, ‘Trans Pride Sunday’, Maxwell Reay and her husband, Lewis Reay, gave up prayers to affirm ‘all expressions of gender identity’, describing a transgender identity as a ‘gift from God’.
Maxwell Reay is part of the Augustine United Church in Edinburgh which, according to its own website, “Works in partnership with the MCC [Metropolitan Community Church] to offer our joint LGBTQI+ ministry called ‘Our Tribe’”.
In September 2022, the Augustine United Church cancelled a booking by women’s rights campaign group, Sole Sister.
The event was a discussion about the erasure of words such as ‘woman’ and ‘mother’ from female healthcare and featured speakers including physiotherapist, Elaine Miller, and Dr Karleen Gribble, an academic and breastfeeding expert.
The Augustine United Church cancelled the event at the last minute, claiming that the prospect had caused ‘distress’ to members of the congregation. The church said that, when making the booking, it had not been made aware of the ‘nature of the event’ which, it believed, “Represents a viewpoint on transgender identity that our church community is not aligned with”.
Also Today - First Do No Harm
THE DAILY MAIL: A Californian paediatrician has been caught on camera admitting that the gender treatments she peddles to minors are harmful.
Dr Erin Baroni is a pediatrician who provides so-called ‘sex-reassignment’ treatment to patients as young as seven. She is an instructor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and is connected to UCLA clinics in Santa Monica and Los Angeles. Baroni also has a TikTok channel (currently unavailable, unsurprisingly) called ‘QueerMD’ which has thousands of followers.
Earlierthis month, Baroni spoke to dozens of medical students in an online seminar hosted by UCLA to coincide with Pride month. Unfortunately for her, a Daily Mail reporter was listening in.
Baroni told students that puberty blockers potentially weaken bones and cause osteoporosis while cross-sex hormones can leave both male and female patients infertile. “With the bone density concerns and fertility issues… we don't see these as things that are contraindications to treatment or something that really impedes treatment”, she said.
Thursday 29th June - The Barmy Army
THE TELEGRAPH: A British Army officer has been forced to resign for expressing the view that it isn’t possible to change sex.
Dr Kelvin Wright joined the Army reservists in 2009 aged 38. He had worked in the NHS since 1992 and was, by then, an intensive care consultant at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey. He undertook two tours in Afghanistan at the height of British combat operations there, serving on medical evacuation helicopters and as the head of a military emergency department. He has been described as ‘one of the best’ and ‘inspirational’ by his troops.
In May, Dr Wright shared a Fair Play for Women post to his private Facebook account. It was a quotation from Helen Joyce which read, “If women cannot stand in a public place and say ‘men cannot be women’, then we do not have women’s rights at all”.
He subsequently received a text message from a junior officer who is one of the Army's LGBTQ+ champions. Dr Wright told The Daily Mail, “The text was giving me a lecture on transgender people, bullying and harassment”. He then received a phone call from a commanding officer telling him that he was in a lot of trouble and would have to be investigated.
Dr Wright believes that a seven-page letter accusing him of ‘anti trans views’ and objecting to his being in the Army was sent to his superiors. Although he was never allowed to see the letter, he understands that it was sent by LGBTQ+ activists within the service, at last one of whom is a trans-identified male.
Dr Wright subsequently found himself embroiled in disciplinary proceedings and felt compelled to retire from the Army, six years earlier than he had previously planned. He said, “This attack on my honour made my position completely untenable. I could no longer remain in an Army which treated its officers with such disrespect”.
In an interview with The Daily Mail, Dr Wright commented, “The Army is absolutely riddled with political correctness and they are completely beholden to the trans lobby… There is a small and noisy cabal of activists that treat trans identity like a cult or religion – and woe betide anyone who offends or disagrees with them”.
Dr Wright told The Telegraph, “What message does it send to women in the Army, that merely for noting the existence of women and women’s rights even a colonel can be placed under investigation? I therefore feel there is no other choice but to make this matter public. It makes you wonder who is running the Army: the Chief of the Defence Staff, or Stonewall?”
Also Today - Leave Them Kids Alone
THE DAILY MAIL: A ‘non-binary’ YouTuber has confused primary school children with a lesson indoctrinating them into gender woo.
Non-binary YouTuber and LGBTQ+ activist, Jack Lynch, was invited speak to children at Meadhurst Primary School in Ashford, Surrey, as part of an outreach programme sponsored by oil giant, BP.
The younger children aged between five to eight listened to stories. Pupils aged nine to eleven were given a workshop about gender identity during which they were told that they could identify as any gender they wanted to be.
The school has been forced to apologise following an angry reaction from parents whose confused children came home asking ‘awkward’ questions. One parent told The Daily Mail, “We had no idea our children were going to be told they could identify as any gender. All he has done is confuse very young children and its outrageous that he is allowed into schools to peddle nonsense”.
Lynch was invited to provide the talk to the school via Pop ‘n’ Olly, a so-called ‘educational resource’ which describes itself as providing “LGBT+ education for children, parents, carers and teachers”. It was founded and is run by Ollie Pike, a former actor who has no formal qualifications or experience as an educator.
Pop ‘n’ Olly was in the news last year over the children’s book ‘What Does LGBT+ Mean?’ which was co-written by Olly Pike together with ‘diversity campaigner’, Mel Lane, and her son, James Canning.
This book was described by Pop ‘n’ Olly as “An introductory guide for young people (and grown-ups) who are ready to explore identity, gender, love, sexual orientation, privilege, discrimination, pride, allyship and more” and was marketed as being “Designed for use at school and home”.
It tells children that sex is ‘assigned at birth’, claiming that a doctor or nurse “Looked at our body and gave us a label based on what they could see”. It also claims that it is possible to be ‘male, female, both or neither’ and includes instruction about the use of preferred pronouns and descriptions of various ‘gender identities’.
Social media users were encouraged to buy and donate the book to primary schools.
Furthermore, customers who bought the other featured publications on the site were given the book as an added bonus, along with a recommendation to consider donating it to a school.
Shelley Charlesworth analysed the full range of books and videos produced by the Pop ‘n’ Olly brand.
“Pop’n’Olly materials are best described as adultification, an activity which normalises adult sexualities and niche ‘gender’ identities, and invites children to join in the discussion. Few schools are likely to say yes if an outside body offers to teach their seven-year-olds queer theory and about being transsexual. Yet this is what they will be doing if they use Pop’n’Olly resources or accept their free books.”
Schools must comply with RSHE (relationship, sex and health education) curriculum guidance, using materials that are factually accurate and age-appropriate. If you are concerned about the materials being used in your child’s school, the Safe Schools Alliance website has information and guidance to assist.
Friday 30th June - We Told Them So
BBC NEWS: Police were called to a school in Essex over allegations that female pupils were sexually assaulted in its mixed-sex toilets.
A teenage boy has been arrested over four allegations of ‘serious sexual assault’ at an Essex school. Essex County Council has confirmed it is working with police and relevant authorities on a school ‘safeguarding matter’.
The Daily Telegraph reported that three of the alleged assaults are understood to have taken place in the school’s so-called ‘gender neutral’ toilets.
Miriam Cates MP, a former teacher, commented, “Gender-neutral facilities are a threat to the safety of women and girls because they create a private space hidden from the public view where assaults cannot be witnessed”.
Meanwhile, Change.org took down a petition started by a 12-year-old girl who wanted to campaign for single-sex toilets at her school.
Saturday 1st July - The Bank Of Big Brother
THE TIMES: An Anglican vicar had his account closed after contacting his building society about its promotion of gender identity ideology.
The Rev Richard Fothergill, an Anglican church leader, was a long-standing customer at Yorkshire Building Society (YBS). Earlier this month, Rev Fothergill responded to the building society’s request for customer feedback and wrote to them about their public messaging on the subject of gender identity ideology.
Insisting that he was polite throughout, Rev Fothergill says that he wrote a couple of paragraphs objecting to children being indoctrinated in trans ideology.
Four days later YBS notified him that it was closing his savings account, telling him that it had a ‘zero tolerance approach to discrimination’ and that their relationship with him had ‘irrevocably broken down’.
Rev Fothergill has accused YBS of bullying. He told The Times, “They are a financial house – they are not there to do social engineering”.
Journalist and campaigner, Stuart Campbell, has also found himself cancelled by banking’s gender stasi. He is, of course, well known for posting gender critical content on social media and on his website, Wings Over Scotland, including references to scandal-plagued ‘charity’, Mermaids. This week First Direct, a division of HSBC, have closed his accounts without any warning and without giving any reason.
Hannah Graf is a trans-identified male whose spouse, Jake Graf, is a trans-identified female. The couple are prominent trans activists with a high media profile. They are both patrons of Mermaids.
Oh, and by the way, Hannah Graf is the Head of Investigative Reporting Optimisation at HSBC, the bank which has just cancelled the Wings Over Scotland accounts.
Sunday 2nd July - Secretary Of State For Indoctrination
THE TELEGRAPH: Issuing of the government’s ‘trans guidance’ for schools faces yet further delays with warnings that it could be ‘watered down’ by trans activists.
Earlier this week, Education Secretary, Gillian Keegan, outlined plans to allow teenager pupils to socially transition at their schools, using pronouns of their own choice, with their parents’ consent.
Speaking in an interview with The House, she said that she believed that 16/17 year olds are mature enough to ‘change their gender’ and their pronouns and should be able to do so in a school setting provided they have parental consent.
Allowing pupils to socially transition in school is a practice described by the Cass Review as ‘not a neutral act’ and one widely believed to harm a child’s well-being. (Furthermore, it will affect the other pupils who are being gaslit, confused and asked to participate in a lie.)
The Department for Education (DfE)’s official transgender guidance for schools is already six months late. Now it appears that it will be delayed even further and may not be issued until the end of the year or even beyond.
The Telegraph understands that the guidance will finally be published next week, with Gillian Keegan and Schools Minister, Nick Gibb, holding a private briefing with Conservative MPs. However, the guidance will still only be in draft form as the DfE then intends to run a public consultation which, senior insiders believe, will take up to four months, possibly even longer, to achieve.
Stephanie Davies-Arai BEM, founder of Transgender Trend, warned that some trans lobby groups are already expressing outrage over the forthcoming guidance. “Schools are in a state of real confusion”, she said. “Some are turning to trans activist groups like Stonewall and the longer this goes on the more difficult it is for schools to make changes. It does need consultation, but unless the DfE gives the trans activists everything they want, they will kick up a real fuss and possibly legally challenge it - they won’t take it quietly and the Government has to be prepared for that inevitability. It’s not for the Government to appease those groups, its duty is to protect children.”

Genevieve Gluck, co-founder of Reduxx, shared a video clip on Twitter. Taken in Japan, the footage shows a man disguised in a wig and female clothing who has been accused of assaulting female rail passengers in the women-only carriage.
But, of course, this never happens.
See you next week.
"Trans” joy is fake joy. Just the the rest of the ideology. Fake discourse, fake breasts, fake face, fake hair, fake hormones, fake voice. Fake ‘phallus’, fake ‘vagina’, fake 'chest milk'. Fake identity, fake ‘rights’, fake claims, fake spirituality, fake victimhood. Fake. Fake. Fake.
One big F***ing Fount of Fake.
Fake joy — if I were allowed back on twitter, all I would do is post photos and stories of what ‘trans joy’ really looks like. There’s not a better, nor more powerful way to underline the Big Lie.
p.s. If I, the most law-abiding citizen ever, were in that prayer room, I would definitely remove those hateful flags, no matter the consequence. 'Gender' ideology is in complete opposition to Spirit. The very last place they should be displayed is in a place of spiritual refuge and solace.
Now the British Army and the Bank of England (see today's Times) have gone full trans, I think we can safely say this isn't a left-wing movement. Wake up, Labour Party. You're being shilled by the establishment.
