A Week in the War on Women: Monday 5th August - Sunday 11th August
Monday 5th August - Leave Them Kids Alone #1
THE TIMES: Over 50 children, some under five years old, have been referred to Scotland’s gender clinic during the last five years.
Over the last five years, a total of 53 children aged under ten have been referred to Scotland’s Sandyford child gender clinic in Glasgow. Two of those children were under five years old at the time of their referral.
These shocking figures were obtained by The Scottish Mail on Sunday via a Freedom of Information request. The paper reported that, of the 53 referrals of children under ten years old, 37 were ‘self-referrals’ - most of which came directly from families - and a handful of children were referred by their GP.
Stephanie Davies-Arai of Transgender Trend commented, “A problem is that parents are now interpreting a child’s behaviour as meaning that their child is possibly trans and needs to go to a gender clinic. In 99.9 per cent of cases that child is not going to have any issue, and therefore it shows how much parents are being encouraged to think their child may be transgender based on ordinary behaviour which does not fit gender stereotypes. It is worrying that parents are thinking that way when their child is so young and still developing”.
Tuesday 6th August - I Can’t Believe It’s Not Satire
THE TELEGRAPH: DWP staff have complained about the ‘highly inappropriate’ fetish gear being worn to the office by a trans-identified male ‘diversity advisor’.
We have reported previously on 58-year-old Saorsa-Amatheia Tweedale. He is the Diversity Ambassador on Trans Issues for the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) and the National Co-Chair of the DWP’s LGBT+ Staff Network. Judging from his LinkedIn photograph, in which he’s wearing a lesbian symbol pin, Tweedale appropriates lesbianism as well as womanhood.
He’s in favour of self-ID legislation and, writing in The Morning Star a few years ago, claimed that trans-identified males are more oppressed than actual women. He has also slandered gender critical feminists as ‘far right’ and ‘genocidal’.
In January, The Telegraph reported that Tweedale advocates for the medicalisation of gender-confused children regardless of their parents’ wishes. In October 2023 he gave an online lecture about gender identity to the National Group of Support for Schools Advisers (DWP staff who offer career advice in schools). He told them that a child’s demand for puberty blockers should take precedence over their ‘parents’ will’ and he compared medically suppressing a child’s natural puberty to teenage girls using the contraceptive pill. He also told DWP colleagues that sex being binary is not “The modern scientific view”.
This week it was reported that Tweedale’s DWP colleagues have complained about his hugely inappropriate attire in the workplace. He’s said to regularly appear in the office sporting low-cut corsets, fishnet tights, high-heeled shoes and a gothic choker with a pentagram. One source told The Mail on Sunday that his attires looks “Almost like fetish gear”. (One can imagine how a 58-year-old woman wearing such garb in the workplace would be received…)
It’s not the first time that Tweedale been the subject of controversy. Last year, civil servants wrote to the permanent secretary at the DWP, Peter Schofield, warning of gender ideology’s ‘chilling effect’ within the department. Tweedale was singled out as having played “A key role in the attempted ideological takeover” of the department.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Tweedale works “Across Government and with employers large and small, local and national, developing Trans inclusive policies and practices, and delivering bespoke trans awareness training”.
A man who colonises lesbianism, seeks to destroy women’s rights, preaches anti-science dogma, advocates for the medicalisation of vulnerable children, parades his fetish in the workplace… and he has the ear of the government.
Wednesday 7th August - Leave Them Kids Alone #2
THE TIMES: Two mothers have written about their young and troubled sons who were groomed into a trans identity and now take un-prescribed hormones.
Harry had always been small, slightly built and never at all sporty. During lockdown, when he was only 15 years old, Harry spent much of his time watching a YouTube channel on which a young trans-identified male talked about his joy at transitioning. Harry then told his parents he felt the same, had been living an ‘inauthentic life’ and that he was ‘really a woman’.
He socially transitioned at his single sex state school and began using a female name. He also joined the LGBTQ+ club which was run by a teaching assistant who had helped her own son to ‘transition’. She believed it was ‘a good thing’ that Harry was ‘coming to terms’ with his ‘new reality’. His mother says that “He was excited to find out he was special and would command respect in this group”.
When his parents tried to discuss his ‘gender identity’ with him, Harry would threaten to cut off all ties with them at some point and he deployed the usual cult word salad; “Authentic self. People assigned sex at birth. Gender is in your mind”.
At 17 Harry visited his GP and was put on the waiting list for an adult gender clinic. Aged 18, without any medical supervision or prescription, he went online and bought cross-sex hormones from an offshore distributor. His mother writes, “He has said to me he feels a social responsibility to be a pioneer, even if it doesn’t bring him happiness, that he needs to sacrifice himself for the good of other people”.
Tom was a bright, sensitive boy, diagnosed with ADHD, who got a full scholarship to a prestigious boarding school. During lockdown, aged 15, he spent much of his time online and his mental health deteriorated considerably. Aged 17, his mental health still in decline, Tom tried to hurt himself by jumping off a pier.
Just before he turned 18 years old, Tom ordered testosterone suppressants and cross-sex hormones online. His mother intercepted them and was extremely upset when she realised what they were. Tom refused to see a doctor, saying he didn’t want to wait for a clinical appointment so his mother telephoned the GP herself. The doctor told her “Perhaps he should try surgery.”
Tom’s mum says, “My gut feeling is that there is something more pernicious going on. I have a big fear of him taking hormones, his brain is still developing. Most people feel pretty odd going through puberty. To simply affirm them or tell them they’re in the wrong body is surely child abuse”.
Thursday 8th August - The Last Walz
The man who could be the USA’s Vice President is an enthusiastic advocate of medicalising vulnerable gender-distressed children.
This week, presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, announced the Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, as her running mate. If she is successful at the US election in November, Walz will be the Vice President.
In April 2023, Tim Walz signed the so-called ‘trans refuge’ bill. This bill turned the state of Minnesota into a legal ‘sanctuary’ for vulnerable children whose gender non-conformity is being medicalised with puberty blockers, hormones and surgery. Signing the bill, Walz surrounded himself with very young children who have been conned into believing they are ‘in the wrong body’ and who are being turned into lifelong medical patients. Despite the ever-burgeoning evidence that such treatment has potentially dangerous and permanent side effects and is of doubtful efficacy, Walz trumpeted the passing of this bill on social media.
The bill not only facilitates the medicalisation of gender non-conforming Minnesotan children, it also allows minors from other states to receive hormone treatment and surgeries there, too. It prohibits the enforcement of out-of-state subpoenas, arrest warrants and extradition requests for those who travel to Minnesota from states where such treatment is banned in order to push their dysphoric kids into medical interventions.
The author and primary sponsor of Minnesota’s ‘trans refuge’ bill was trans-identified male, Leigh Finke, who was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives last year. Finke is the father of two children. However, the opportunity to be a parent is an something he would deny many gender distressed children because he advocates vociferously for their swift medicalisation.
Finke was the architect of a bill which facilitates the medicalisation of gender non-conforming children but he doesn’t know the first thing about the dangers and long-term side effects of the treatments he is pushing. Or at least he pretends not to know.
In August 2020 Finke produced a book called Queerfully and Wonderfully Made: A Guide for LGBTQ+ Christian Teens, the recommended reading age for which is 12 - 18. In this book, Finke conflates ‘gender identity’ with being gay, lesbian or bisexual and refers constantly to a homogenized category of ‘queerness’.
At several points throughout the book, ‘queer’ youngsters are told that parents are wrong if they ‘speak harmfully against our queerness’. By failing to make any distinction between gender dysphoria and sexuality, ‘speaking harmfully’ against ‘queerness’ could simply mean a parent who will not affirm their child’s ‘gender identity’ and/or refuses their child’s demand for medical treatment.
Finke operates a Facebook account under the name Elle Finke. In April 2021, he shared an excerpt from his book which reads, “If your parents do not accept you and your queerness, then they do not know what’s best for you. They just don’t.” He added the comment, “Trans and nonbinary and queer and gay and lesbian and bi young people: Don’t Listen To Your Parents!”
And this is the man of whom Tim Walz - the potential Vice President of the USA - is extremely supportive and once told him, “I’m grateful for your work and decency”.
Friday 9th August - The Sex That Dare Not Speak Its Name
As reported by Seen in Journalism, social media censored biological reality and hid or deleted the accounts of those using a hashtag referencing female chromosomes.
Following the example of Olympic sheroes, Svetlana Staneva and Esra Yildiz - both of whom had their gold medal hopes stolen by male boxer, Lin Yu-Ting - women across the world were posting photographs of themselves on social media making the XX symbol with their fingers or arms. This, of course, refers to the female chromosomes XX. Consequently, the hashtag #XX began trending… and immediately social media sites began hiding the results and/or deleting accounts using it.
Fair Play For Women were censored on Instagram after posting a photograph of Esra Yildiz because it might be ‘harmful to the Instagram community’
Similarly, on X (formerly Twitter), this symbol of female biology was being censored.
On Facebook, searches of the #XX hashtag were ‘temporarily hidden’ because they contravened ‘community standards’.
Shockingly, Richard Dawkins, world-renowned evolutionary biologist, speaker and best-selling author of 19 books, had his entire Facebook account deleted for his defence of women’s sport.
Meanwhile, at the International Olympic Committee (IOC), president, Thomas Bach (who will step down from the role next year), was trying to pretend that the IOC has no way scientific way of discerning which competitors are women and which aren’t.
Reem Alsalem, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women and Girls, wrote that she was ‘very concerned’ by this statement. She added, “There are multiple international treaties and national constitutions that specifically refer to women and their fundamental rights to equality and non-discrimination, so the world has a pretty good idea of what women -and men for that matter- are. Also, how can one assess whether fairness and justice has been reached if we do not know who we are being fair and just to?”
Saturday 10th August - Fox In The Henhouse
REDUXX: It required the threat of legal action to force a gym in Missouri to rescind the membership of a trans-identified male using its female spaces.
Eris (formerly Oren) Montano, identifies as a ‘trans-fem, polyamorous goddess of strife and discord’, legally changed his ‘gender’ in April and claims to be a lesbian. In reality, however, he’s a 52-year-old balding man who has fathered a daughter.
Last week, Montano was in the news after female patrons complained about his presence in the women’s locker room at a gym in Missouri, the Ellisville Life Time Fitness Club.
One of the gym users lodged a formal complaint against Montano with local police. According to Montano’s own Facebook post - in which he refers to the female complainant as a ‘Karen’ - there were little girls present in the locker room.
Montano clearly uses the women’s showers and has discussed on social media soaping his ‘nether regions’ in there.
He’s also posted about his reluctance to use the male facilities.
Following the initial complaint, several other women came forward to express their concerns about Montano using the women’s facilities at the gym. This prompted Missouri Attorney General, Andrew Bailey, to issue a statement announcing an investigation into the fitness centre.
The Attorney General’s office wrote to the CEO of Life Time Fitness, Bahram Akradi, threatening the venue with legal action. The letter stated that the women who tried to object to Montano’s presence in their spaces were reprimanded by gym staff and instructed to use female pronouns for him.
The following day, the gym rescinded Montano’s membership, claiming their decision was due to certain of his social media posts.
Montano’s Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) content is certainly enlightening; he posts publicly about his interest in various forms of weaponry.
He also posts sexually explicit material, photographs of himself in his underwear and pictures of his own S&M fetish gear.
Some of his posts also demonstrate his abject misogyny.
But his social media content didn’t seem to concern the management of Life Time Fitness until they were threatened with legal action by the state’s Attorney General.
Sunday 11th August - Faster, Higher, Wronger
Two males boxers stole gold medals from women at the Paris Olympics this week.
We have written previously about Imane Khelif, a 25-year-old welterweight from Algeria, and Lin Yu-Ting, a 28-year-old featherweight from Taiwan, both competitors in the women’s boxing at this summer’s Paris Olympic Games.
Last year, both Khelif and Lin were disqualified from the women’s World Championship run by the International Boxing Association (IBA). The boxers failed so-called ‘gender tests’ which were implemented as a result of the IBA receiving ‘many complaints from several coaches’. The tests were performed by CAS (court of sports arbitration) accredited laboratories and both athletes chose not to appeal.
It seems likely that both Khelif and Lin were born with a DSD (difference of sex development) which may have lead to them being mistaken for females when babies. However, as detailed in this excellent interview with developmental biologist, Dr Emma Hilton, they will have experienced a normal male puberty and now enjoy all the usual physical and physiological advantages which men have over women.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has refused to recognise the validity of the sex tests carried out by the IBA and has continually tried to defend its decision to let Khelif and Lin compete in women’s categories at the Paris games. Its outrageous position - that the pair have a ‘female’ marker in their passports and that is the only criteria on which their sex need be judged - was defended repeatedly by both IOC president, Thomas Bach, and its spokesman, Mark Adams.
At the outset of the games, István Kovács, the European Vice President of the World Boxing Organization and former Secretary General of the International Boxing Association, gave a statement to the Hungarian press, confirming that Khelif is ‘biologically male’. Last week, The Telegraph reported that the IOC were informed that Khelif has ‘the DNA of a male’ well over a year ago. Furthermore, Khelif’s own trainer gave an interview to Le Point magazine in which he revealed that Khelif got independent confirmation of IBA’s sex test and that he does have a Y chromosome.
Female boxer, Mexico’s Brianda Tamara, has described encountering Khelfif in the ring. “When I fought with her [sic] I felt very out of my depth. Her [sic] blows hurt me a lot, I don’t think I had ever felt like that in my 13 years as a boxer”. Tamara has also shared photographs of the facial bruises Khelif inflicted on her during their match.
The women’s welterweight final took place on Friday night and saw Imane Khelif fight China’s Yang Lui. Oliver Brown described the match for The Telegraph: “The fight assumed a now-familiar pattern, with Khelif peppering Yang courtesy of a clear advantage in reach and punching power. Outclassed in the first, Yang staggered back under the force of one juddering blow in the second and could do nothing in the third to claw back in the deficit”.
On Saturday Lin Yu-Ting beat Poland’s Julia Szeremeta in the women's featherweight final. The Daily Mail reported that Lin ‘pummelled’ his opponent “With a blistering flurry of punches”. He left her with a bloody nose.
And thus boxers deemed ineligible for the female category only a year ago have been allowed to steal Olympic gold medals in women’s boxing.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to end sex-verification screening in 2000, despite the vast majority of female athletes still being in favour of it. A simple cheek swab test could have put an end to this disgraceful travesty. Instead, the IOC chose to turn male violence against women into a spectator sport.
See you next week.
Hey, maybe the MEN boxing women in the Olympics are onto something.
Like - if the passport says "woman" - magically they become female?
How about next up they cross out WOMAN, write in HORSE
and have an exciting career winning the Grand National?
“trans-identified males are more oppressed than actual women”
Proof, as if it were needed, that this guy has no clue what it is to be a woman. He simply adds fuel to the belief that those who think they’re women are deviants.
