A Week in the War on Women: Monday 9th January - Sunday 15th January
Monday 9th January - Witch Burning
REDUXX: A woman has been fired from her job at a video games company over alleged ‘transphobia’.
Limited Run Games is a specialty video games distributor based in North Carolina, USA. On 6th January it announced via its Twitter account that it had terminated the employment of one of its staff members. The post was extremely vague but implied that the former employee had not adhered to the company’s policy of ‘supporting an inclusive culture’.
However, it soon transpired that the sacked employee was Community Manager, Kara Lynne, who appears to have been targeted by a trans activist for Twitter wrongthink.
Jessica (formerly Jonathan) Blank is a trans-identified male and founder of the adult My Little Pony convention, Bronycon. He is known online as Purple Tinker.
According to posts on Reddit, Blank is well known within the adult My Little Pony set for his habitual bullying and harassing of others. There is a very lengthy Tumblr thread dedicated to his abusive and hateful comments and in which he is accused of racism, sexism, stalking and doxxing.
Blank also seems to believe that minors can consent to sex with adults.
On 6th January Blank posted a thread on his (now deactivated) Twitter account. He tagged in Limited Run and made various allegations about Kara Lynne, accusing her of ‘transphobia’ and sharing screenshots from her personal Twitter account.
One of these screenshots was of a nine-year-old tweet from 2016 in which Kara Lynne had expressed safeguarding concerns around self-ID legislation. Other examples of her so-called transgressions included her following the Libs of TikTok Twitter account and expressing enthusiasm for the forthcoming Hogwarts Legacy video game. In his thread, Blank demanded a refund of the $1,200 he claimed to have spent on pre-ordered games with Limited Run.
Less than 24 hours after Blank posted his thread, Limited Run tweeted their statement that they had terminated a staff member’s employment. Later that day Blank updated his thread, gleefully announcing that Kara Lynne had been sacked from her position.

NEW YORK TIMES: A so-called ‘uncensored’ theatre festival in New York City has refused to stage a slam poet because his work adheres to biological reality.
New York’s Frigid Fringe Festival has, hitherto, always boasted that it is ‘uncensored’ and ‘unjuried’. Since the festival’s inception in 2007, the work included has always been selected at random in order to platform artists from outside the theatrical ‘establishment’. Until this year, that is; one of the pieces previously selected for performance has now been withdrawn due to its alleged ‘transphobia’.
David Lee Morgan is a slam poet and street musician who has performed all over the world, written novels, plays and musical theatre, holds a PhD in creative writing and philosophy and is a longstanding member of the Writers Guild of Great Britain. His performance piece, ‘Poems on Gender’, has been featured at numerous venues and events, including last year’s Edinburgh Festival. Morgan was due to perform it at the Frigid Fringe Festival in February.
However, Morgan submitted a marketing blurb for the festival’s press release based on lines from the work; “There are two sexes, male and female. It takes one of each to make a baby. But what this means – what we make of it – has changed more times than we can imagine”.
The organisers had a meltdown. Morgan wrote about it on his Substack account and detailed the email interaction between himself and the festival organisers. They told him, “The statement ‘There are two sexes, male and female’ reads as a strong anti-trans bias regardless of your overall intent. There is a dog whistle in this short and complete sentence… It is not a statement we are willing to put in our own press release. Speaking purely from a marketing standpoint, it would kill any interest in your show here in NYC, it won't be considered controversial in any way, it will just not be considered. A lot of our audience will read that sentence, disengage from your blurb, and just move on to the next show. Please send an updated blurb as soon as you can so we can get our press release out in the next few days”.
Morgan responded, “There is nothing anti-trans about these lines. It is accurate science (glad to provide references), a basic statement of second wave feminism, and it is at the centre of my show”. The organisers then replied, “We are considering not making our platform available to the kind of message you are peddling”.
Morgan suggested that organisers read the full of text his piece, which they did. They then objected to Morgan’s reservations that medicalisation for gender dysphoria should be a route taken only after other have avenues have been explored and exhausted and concluded they would not provide a platform for his material which they described as ‘nonsense’.
Consequently, Morgan’s performance was cancelled because, the organisers stated, it “Featured material we deem to be anti-trans”.
Erez Ziv, founder and managing artistic director of Frigid New York, told The New York Times that he could not ask his staff members, several of whom are trans, ‘gender queer’ or ‘non-binary’, to be part of a production that ‘denied their realities’. “In November, I boastfully said to an entire room full of fringe producers in North America that I would allow a show to happen no matter what”, he said. “But then it happened: We actually got a show that I just couldn’t ask my staff to work.” He added, “I support free speech. I think all speech should be legally protected, but not all speech should be platformed.”
Tuesday 10th January - This Never Happens
FOX19: Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is investigating allegations that a trans-identified male inmate raped a female prisoner at the county jail.
A woman incarcerated in the county jail in Hamilton, Cincinnati, alleges that she was raped by the prisoner with whom she was sharing a cell on 4th January. Court records show that her cell mate “Is a biological male who identifies as a female and is believed to be in some stage of gender transition”.
The female prisoner reported the alleged rape to a correction officer and was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Centre to be examined by a sexual assault nurse. A spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office confirmed that investigations are ongoing.

4W: A trans-identified male who was sporting an erection while attending a waxing appointment is taking legal action against the salon owner.
In June 2022, trans-identified male, Kim Flores Carlos, booked an appointment at a waxing salon, Millanea Instituto de Depilação, in São Paulo, Brazil. The salon owner, Isabel Martins da Silva, dealt with his telephone inquiry during which he gave his name as Kim and failed to mention that he is a man.
As is usual with intimate body waxing procedures, the female beautician attended Carlos in a private room. She returned to reception almost immediately to say that her client was a man and that his male genitalia was clearly visible through his underwear. Worse still, Carlos had an erection.
Consequently, salon owner, Isabel Martins da Silva, told Carlos that the salon staff do not carry out waxing procedures on males. Given that the salon has a sign on the entrance making clear the business is strictly female-only, this can hardly have been a surprise to him. Carlos became angry, shouting at da Silva and the female beautician. When told that the staff do not have the necessary training to carry out waxing on male bodies, he shouted, “Then you have to put a sign saying ‘we only wax pussies’”.
Carlos began filming his altercation with the women in the salon. He later uploaded this video to TikTok, complaining that staff had refused to serve him because he is a ‘transwoman’. Of course he failed to mention that he’d expected a female beautician to wax his male genitals while he was in a state of sexual arousal.
On 13th December 2022, Carlos filed a lawsuit with the Special Civil Court against the waxing salon and is demanding compensation for ‘moral damages’.
If any of this is sounding eerily familar, that’s because it is!
Wednesday 11th January - The Clocks Are Striking 13 On Campus
CBC MONTREAL: A gang of trans rights activists mobbed and derailed a talk about sex and gender given by a gay human rights lawyer.
Robert Wintemute is a Professor of Human Rights Law at Kings College London. His particular areas of expertise and research include anti-discrimination law and the law pertaining to sexual orientation. His recent publications include the titles Sexual Orientation and Human Rights, Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Partnerships: A Study of National, European and International Law and Confronting Homophobia in Europe: Social and Legal Perspectives. He has spent 37 years defending LGB human rights and he is a trustee of the LGB Alliance.
On Tuesday 10th January Professor Wintemute was scheduled to host a discussion at McGill University in Montreal, his almer mater. The event, ‘Sex v Gender (Identity) Debate in the United Kingdom and the Divorce of LGB from T’, was hosted by the university’s Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism (CHRLP).
However, a mob of around 100 trans activists stormed the discussion and prevented it from going ahead. The report from CBC Montreal plays down the behaviour of the activists but it is clear they were aggressive and intimidating.
In her eye witness account of the event, Eliza Mondegreen described the menacing atmosphere and she explained how trans activists had physically assaulted her, shoving and pushing her, whilst they were screaming about ‘nonviolence’. She also described the harassment of two other women who were blasted with bullhorns and one was even pushed to the ground.
“We were pinned in the middle of a raging crowd and screamed at to ‘GET OUT’ while prevented from going anywhere at all… The jumpy activists I’d observed a few minutes ago had transformed themselves into a mob, with the license of mobs. There's no reaching people in that state, which is why it felt like anything could happen, especially after they'd already manhandled us.”
According to a CTV News report, the trans activists forced their way into the venue, threw flour at Professor Wintemute and interfered with a projector being used for his talk. The event had to be cancelled almost as soon as it had started.
Law student, Celeste Trianon, organised the protest. He is a trans-identified male who claims to be a lesbian and describes himself as “A transfeminine sapphic jurist and activist”.
Trianon advocates for the medical transitioning of children and, according to his Facebook page, he is a director of TransEstrie, an organisation which supplies ‘gender affirming gear’, including ‘binders, packers, boxers, breast forms, stand-to-pees and gaffs [tucking underwear]’.
A heterosexual man who masquerades as a lesbian organised the derailment of a talk by a gay human rights lawyer. Without a trace of irony, he told CBC Montreal, “The T (trans) is so much more vulnerable than the rest of LGB. I think there's tons of scientific evidence speaking to that”.
Professor Wintemute told CTV News, “It's extremely anti-democratic to interfere with a seminar at a university just because you disagree with the opinions expressed”. He commented that he had agreed to appear at McGill University in order to highlight that women are now too scared to discuss their human rights. “So I have to thank the protesters for giving me first-hand experience of that intimidation.”

THE DAILY MAIL: A bookbinder has removed JK Rowling’s name from her own books supposedly to create a ‘safe space’ for fans.
23-year-old Laur Flom is a recent printmaking graduate from Ontario College of Art & Design University. Flom seems to demand they/them pronouns and, according to The Independent, is trans-identified. Flom’s website says, “Their [sic] practice is largely conceptual, exploring themes surrounding identity, queerness, and masculinity”.
For the past year Flom has been engaged in a project which removes JK Rowling’s name from her own work. Flom re-binds Harry Potter novels to erase all mention of their author, removing the covers and copywrite pages and replacing them with alternative versions in which JK Rowling’s name does not appear.
“The purpose of this project is to create a safe space for fans to find comfort in the books”, said Flom. “I would hope that the impact of my project is just to bring light to her transphobia and to make people aware of the things she has said.” Of course, there was no explanation given as to exactly what JK Rowling has said that constitutes ‘transphobia’.
Flom sells these despoiled books for £140 per copy or £979 for a set of seven.
Thursday 12th January - Leave Them Kids Alone
REDUXX: A former volunteer at LGBT Youth Scotland has spoken out about the charity’s horrifying lack of child safeguarding.
LGBT Youth Scotland (LGBTYS) was in the news last month and 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. Now a former LGBTYS volunteer has come forward with shocking allegations about the lack of child safeguarding measures in place while he was working there.
‘Justin’ (who wishes to remain anonymous) began working as a volunteer at LGBTYS in 2009. He told Reduxx about various alarming situations he witnessed while in post. Firstly, he stated that unpaid and untrained volunteers were doing much of the direct work with minors and were running the LGBTYS youth groups.
Furthermore, Justin says that, while attending an event in Glasgow, he and a female volunteer witnessed an adult male volunteer behaving inappropriately with two teenage service users who were aged around 14-16. When Justin reported this incident, LGBTYS managers did not consider the male volunteer’s behavior a risk and even allowed him to stay on at the event for the remainder of the weekend.
Justin came to believe that the focus of LGBTYS was not the well-being of children and young people but the making of money. He described the charity as a ‘well-funded pressure group’ and said that its managers, “Used the life experiences of the vulnerable people in their care to keep getting funding to continue their ‘work’”.
According to their accounts, LGBTYS has received hundreds of thousands of pounds in funding from the Scottish government in recent years.
Of course, LGBTYS shills for the self ID. Furthermore, in January 2021 we reported that, thanks to ‘guidance’ issued by the charity, Scottish teachers were reporting parents to local authorities for ‘failing to support a transgender child’. In some cases, such action even resulted in intervention by social services.
These referrals were the result of guidance issued to schools by LGBTYS in 2017. It states that if parents are struggling to come to terms with their child’s ‘gender identity’, teachers should ensure they support the child in school and may also wish to contact their local authority. In other words, LGBTYS advised schools that, regardless of a parent’s decision regarding their own child, teachers should affirm the child’s gender identity and even inform on families to the social services.
And all the while it seems their own child safeguarding was non-existent.
Friday 13th January - We Told You So
UNHERD: Last year the BRITS introduced a ‘gender neutral’ best artist category and this year, to nobody’s surprise, all the nominees are male.
In November 2021 we reported that organisers of the Brit Awards had decided to scrap their separate male and female categories. Instead of giving individual accolades for the best male and female solo artists, the two categories are now combined into one single ‘gender neutral’ prize.
The decision was made following Sam ‘they/them’ Smith’s temper tantrum on the subject. Smith was happy enough with arrangements when he was twice nominated in the best male artist category but then he put himself out of the running by declaring himself ‘non-binary’. Having realised that he pissed on his own chips, Smith started whining about ‘inclusivity’ and ‘unification’ and demanded an end to the separate male and female award categories.
In our 2021 piece we wrote, “Erasing sexed-based categories means that female artists will lose an important platform. In such a male-dominated industry, it’s clear that the future winners of this new ‘gender neutral’ prize will be overwhelmingly male…. In 41 years of the Brits just a quarter of the Best Album winners have been female and only one all-female band has ever won the Best Group award. And now women have been robbed of the one category in which they were guaranteed success.”
We called it. The nominees in the 2023 Brit Awards best artist category are all male. The five bepenised people in the running are Harry Styles, Stormzy, Central Cee, Fred Again and George Ezra. (Sam Smith must be beside themselves not to get a mention.)
Joan Smith, writing in Unherd: “Separate male and female categories are one of the few mechanisms that exist to protect women artists, actors and authors from male-dominated prize lists. The exposure is invaluable, and there is no doubt that the Brit Awards decision will damage women’s careers.… The dire consequences of the decision are plain to see. It’s sexism in a new, fashionable guise. And wherever it makes inroads, from boardrooms to prize ceremonies, women are the losers.”

KUSI NEWS: A 17-year-old girl encountered a naked male who ‘identifies as a woman’ in the female shower room at the Santee YMCA.
Santee is a city in San Diego County, California. 17-year-old Rebecca Phillips is a regular visitor to the Santee YMCA where she uses the gym and pool. On a recent visit, Rebecca had just got out of the shower when she encountered a naked male in the women’s locker room. Terrified, she ran back into the shower to hide until the man left. She then changed as quickly as she could and hurried away.
When she spoke to YMCA staff, Rebecca was made to feel as though she was the one in the wrong and says she was reprimanded for trying to make a complaint. “The indecent exposure of a male to a female minor was an inconvenience to them”, she said. Staff told Rebecca that the man ‘identifies as a girl’ and so is entitled to use whichever locker room he chooses. Rebecca learned that YMCA policy allows people to use facilities in accordance with their self declared ‘gender identity’ regardless of their legal sex or physical genitalia.
Speaking to KUSI News, Rebecca pointed out that hundreds of young children, including her own small sisters, use YMCA facilities and services. Thanks to the YMCA policy, a grown man is perfectly entitled to shower and change alongside little girls in the female facilities. Furthermore, children stay overnight at YMCA camps. If one of the male children says they ‘identify’ as the opposite sex, they can be accommodated in the girls’ sleeping quarters and, due to confidentiality policies, parents will not be informed.
Addressing the Santee City Council, Rebecca explained that, initially, YMCA management refused to speak to her father about the incident during which she encountered a naked male in their female locker room. Eventually, Rebecca’s father received a phone call from Terry Moss, the YMCA Director of Membership for San Diego County. Moss told her father that Rebecca had not been in any danger at the time of the encounter. Oh really?
Saturday 14th January - What Fresh Hell Is This?
THE TELEGRAPH: An NHS trust taking over from the Tavistock is to get staff training from Mermaids.
One of the NHS trusts which will be responsible for the care of gender confused children is to receive training from controversial charity, Mermaids.
The South London and Maudsley NHS Trust (SLaM), a Stonewall Diversity Champion, is one of the regional centres taking over the care of children with gender issues following the closure of the Tavistock.
This month, for the second year running, Mermaids will be operating training sessions in ‘LGBT+ awareness’ for the staff at South London and Maudsley NHS Trust.
Sue Evans, one of the former Tavistock clinicians who blew the whistle on the clinic, told The Telegraph, “I have serious concerns about Mermaids providing training to staff at SLaM… Based on past experience I would be concerned that they would be promoting an affirmation-only model which lacks an evidence base and does not take into account the complexities of children’s needs and backgrounds. The Mermaids teaching materials that I have seen were inaccurate and misleading”.
In 2015 The Daily Mail reported that Mermaids had lodged a formal complaint against a school in the North West because its teachers would not facilitate the transition of an eight-year-old pupil.
In 2017 Mermaids was implicated in a high court case concerning a mother who had forced her seven-year-old son to live as girl. Mermaids were also accused of offering fast-track hormone therapy for minors, in direct contravention of NHS guidelines.
Mermaids has longstanding links with disgraced gender doctors, Michael and Helen Webberley, and has also been linked to dodgy offshore clinic, Gender GP, which supplies hormone treatment to children without parental consent or knowledge.
In 2021 Mermaids was fined £25,000 for failing to keep the personal data of its vulnerable users secure.
In September 2022, The Telegraph published a shocking article about Mermaids supplying young girls with dangerous breast binders without the knowledge and/or consent of their parents. The paper also revealed that Mermaids staff are persuading children into medical transition, encouraging them to conceal their contact with the charity from their parents.
In October 2022 it was revealed that one of Mermaids’ trustees, Jacob Breslow, had links to paedophile organizations and has written extensively on pro-paedophile and ‘child sexuality’ subject matter.
And if all of the above isn’t reason enough not to touch them with a bargepole, the Charity Commission is currently carrying out a statutory inquiry into Mermaids amid serious concerns over its governance and management.
What on earth is the NHS thinking?

SCOTTISH SUN: A serial rapist branded a ‘monster’ is claiming a trans identity and eyeing up a move to the female estate, according to prison sources.
In 2014, Jonathan Mallon, who had previous convictions for domestic abuse, violence, carrying a knife and fire-raising, was jailed for life for a horrifying string of sexually violent offences. He was convicted of raping five women and sexually abusing a sixth between December 1999 and March 2013. All of his victims, aged between 21 and 31, were described as ‘vulnerable’.
When sentencing him, judge Bill Dunlop described Mallon’s crimes as ‘monstrous’ and told him, “It’s clear that you saw women who were vulnerable and ruthlessly exploited them for your own sexual gratification… The distress of your victims at the time must have become obvious to you and you simply ignored that.”
Mallon, now 40 years old, is currently incarcerated in HMP Edinburgh. Insiders there are claiming that he has changed his name to Charlene and brags to fellow inmates that he will soon be moved to a women’s prison.
An HMP Edinburgh insider told the paper, “Mallon is trying to be a woman and wants to get into the lassies’ hall... He’s been saying to people he has changed his name by deed poll and is going to the women’s hall in three months”.
Scottish Conservative MSP, Russell Findlay, commented, “This is the latest case of a predatory male sex offender seeking access to a women’s prison. Nicola Sturgeon’s new gender self-ID law will lead to an inevitable increase in such cases, putting some of Scotland’s most vulnerable women at increased risk.”
See you next week.
The NYC piece is an interesting one. The only way trans ideology proliferates is by shutting down opposing voices. Whether they like it or not there are indeed two sexes and saying so isn’t ‘denying anyone’s reality’ (load of psycho babble). They need to take a long hard look at themselves and realise that they deny my reality as an adult human female every day.
What a hideous, reality-denying cult of bullies at best and child sex offenders at worst.
