A Week in the War on Women: Monday 22nd May - Sunday 28th May
Monday 22nd May - An Unsporting Chance #1
OUTKICK: A female school athlete lost her chance to compete at a state championship because her spot was stolen by a trans-identified boy.
The finals of track and field event, the North Coast Meet of Champions, were held in California at the weekend. A trans-identified male athlete, Athena Ryan, was permitted to compete in the varsity girls’ 1600 metre race. He took second place. In doing so he robbed fourth-place finisher, Adeline Johnson, of an opportunity to compete in the California Interscholastic Federation State Track & Field Championships as only the top three placed athletes get to participate.
Athena Ryan is a junior at Sonoma Academy and competed on the male team in 2021. He has been participating in women’s events for the past two seasons. He ran the 1600 metre final at the North Coast Meet of Champions in 4:55:91, a time which would have seen him finish in last place had he competed in the male category.

REDUXX: A woman who was abused by her trans-identifying former partner and sought help at an NHS hospital has been contacted by the police over her alleged ‘misgendering’ of a ‘non binary’ patient on the female ward.
Toni met her former partner, a keen bodybuilder, in 2017. A year into the relationship, she discovered that he had a proclivity for wearing women’s clothing and he expressed his intention to fully transition. Soon after that, Toni’s partner became very controlling and both physically and sexually abusive. On one occasion he strangled her until she passed out, on another he sprayed a cleaning disinfectant down her throat. He also forced her to have sex with other men, one of whom caused her a serious internal injury, for his own financial gain.
Eventually, Toni left her partner and moved from Merseyside to Derbyshire. Unsurprisingly, following the abuse she had suffered, Toni struggled with her mental health and experienced episodes of depression, self-harm, and severe anxiety. In January of 2023, after a period of self-harming, Toni sought help from Chesterfield Royal Hospital (CRH). She was admitted to the hospital’s psychiatric facility and was, of course, accommodated in the female unit.
She spent several weeks there, during which time she befriended a few of the other women in the unit, one of whom, unbeknown to Toni, identifies as ‘non-binary’. This patient became enraged after overhearing Toni talking about her abusive trans-identified former partner. The patient, standing in the unit’s communal area, was ‘screaming at the top of her lungs’ about trans rights and shouting that ‘trans women are women’. Toni knew the outburst was directed at her and told the patient, “Go and get raped by one and tell me how much of a woman they are”.
The following day Toni had an argument with a unit nurse who insisted that the patient in question was not a woman but ‘non-binary’ (despite her being in the female unit). Toni told Reduxx “That gaslighting affects me in a strange way, because of my experience. How was this hospital was, on one hand, supposed to treat me for my trauma which they understood was caused by a transgender male, and on the other, argue with me that a woman was not a woman”. She wanted to leave the hospital following this incident as she felt increasingly distrustful of the staff.
A month after she was discharged, Toni was contacted by Derbyshire Police and informed that she was required to attend the station for a formal interview.
The letter she received accused her of a public order offence in which she “Directed words deemed offensive towards another individual on the ward”. The date of the alleged incident corresponds with the argument Toni had with the psychiatric unit nurse.
Toni said, “The fact that the police are able to harass women because of their speech is frightening. There’s nothing I said that is criminal. But it does worry me that they are doing this to women”.
A patient on a psychiatric ward who was receiving treatment for a serious mental illness caused by trauma is being subjected to a police investigation because she offended one of the NHS nurses responsible for her care by refusing to believe in gender ideology.
We are truly through the looking glass.
Tuesday 23rd May - Witch-Burning at the EHRC
THE TIMES: EHRC staff are accused of colluding in a vendetta to oust chairwoman, Baroness Falkner, due to her support for women’s sex-based rights.
Baroness (Kishwer) Falkner of Margravine is a Pakistani-born British politician who, after a career of public-serving roles, was elevated to the House of Lords. In December 2020, she became the chairwoman of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, the UK’s equality watchdog.
In an interview with The Times shortly after taking up that role, Baroness Falkner said that women must have the right to question transgender ideology without being abused, stigmatised or risking their livelihood. “Someone can believe that people who self identify as a different sex are not the different sex that they self identify. A lot of people would find this an entirely reasonable belief.” Her statement has proved prophetic as it is now her job and reputation that the trans lobby are gunning for.
In February this year a meeting of EHRC commissioners unanimously agreed to back a review of the Equality Act 2010 - specifically with regard to the legal distinctions between biological sex and gender reassignment - overruling objections from its management team which opposed the move. The Times reports that, following this meeting, claims of bullying and harassment against Baroness Faulkner began. The EHRC commissioned an independent barrister, Gavin Mansfield KC, to assess the claims made against Falkner. (This investigation has subsequently been suspended.)
Inside sources say that Faulkner is the victim of a vendetta by staff determined to eject her from her role and force a change of policy on the EHRC. One source described the allegations against her as a ‘hit job’, adding, “The executive was very hostile to the commissioners taking this decision because they had become used to the board just rubber-stamping whatever the staff at the organisation recommended”. Another source commented, “Some of the complaints are amazingly petty, and what is scandalous is that they only emerged after the board’s decision.”
A source quoted in The Daily Mail also highlights the timing of the accusations against Baroness Falkner. “The executive just refused to accept the board's decision. There were strenuous efforts to reject it and it was around this time allegations were starting to be made”. The source continued, “There is a very progressive, activist-inclined staff who are influenced by organisations and groups like Stonewall”.
Staff colluding against Baroness Falkner are said to have compiled a ‘dossier’ of evidence against her which was leaked to Channel 4 News.
The channel subsequently ran an item about the allegations against Baroness Falkner which (lets be charitable) offered a very limited view of the story. Both the news item and the C4 News Twitter account reported that Baroness Falkner had been accused of calling trans-identified male, Emma Laslett, a ‘bloke in lipstick’.
What Channel 4 News failed to mention was that The Daily Mail had reported on this allegation a whole day before its news broadcast. A source told the paper that the comment in question had been taken entirely out of context. Baroness Falkner, said the source, had been condemning the insults aimed at Laslett after he appeared on a BBC quiz programme and she had been quoting a comment made about him. Perhaps Channel 4 News researchers should learn how to use the internet.
C4 News interviewed Laslett on the programme. Seemingly unaware that the investigation was, at the time, still ongoing and without conclusion, Laslett proclaimed that Baroness Falkner has been ‘peddling discrimination’ and he declared her ‘not fit for the job’ at the EHRC.
White males shilling for a woman of colour to lose her job because she is determined to defend women’s rights. What we’ve come to expect from the ‘right side of history’.
Channel 4 also interviewed Caroline Nokes MP, Chair of the Women and Equalities Select Committee who, in the past, has made her support for self-ID legislation abundantly clear.
Later in the week The Telegraph reported that the independent investigation into Baroness Falkner has been suspended.
A source close to the EHRC told the paper that there was a deliberate attempt to oust Baroness Falkner from her post. “It’s just tragic. There was an elite group of EHRC people who got together to arrange how they would get rid of her and referred to themselves as ‘gold command’. They came to a consensus view that the only way forward was to get a silk to do an investigation”.
Ian Acheson, a former chief operating officer at the EHRC, commented, “This was the right course of action. We cannot have Britain’s rights regulator and its legitimate board authority subverted by ideological activism from within”.

LBC: Liberal Democrat leader, Ed Davey, has said that a woman can have a penis.
Appearing on Nick Ferrari’s LBC programme, Ed Davey was asked by a caller called Mary if a woman can have a penis. He replied:
“The truth is, Mary, the vast majority of people whose biological sex is a woman when they were birthed - they feel they're women. They feel they're gendered the same as at birth but there is a very small number of people who don't feel like that, and the law has recognised them for over 20 years now. There's a small number of people who, actually, they have a tough time. They're harassed, they're discriminated against; real, serious mental health issues, and I think we need to debate this...with a bit more maturity and a bit more compassion.”
Presenter, Nick Ferrari, pressed him to reply to the question and asked whether a woman can have a penis. Davey responded, “Quite clearly”.
This should come as no surprise. You may remember that Ed Davey and Layla Moran singularly failed to define the word ‘woman’ when asked to do so during the Lib Dem leadership election in August 2020 and that Ed Davey believes trans-identified males should be housed in female prisons with vulnerable women.
Now seems a good time to remind ourselves that Ferring Pharmaceuticals has been a ‘long-standing’ supporter of the Liberal Democrats and has donated over £1.4 million to the party. Ferring Pharmaceuticals manufactures the puberty blocker Triptolerin.
And while we’re on that subject…

THE HILL: The Louisiana State Senate has scuppered proposed legislation which would have banned medical interventions for gender-confused children.
House Bill 648 would have barred Louisiana clinicians from providing so-called ‘gender-affirming care’ - such as puberty blockers and surgery - to children under the age of eighteen or risk losing their professional license.
However, after passing the House, the bill failed in the Senate Health and Welfare Committee when Republican Senator, Fred Mills, voted with the Democrats against it.
Senator Mills, the GOP chair of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, cast the tie-breaking 5-4 vote. All other votes were cast along party lines, with four Republicans supporting the bill and four Democrats opposing it.
As reported in The Lafayette Advertiser, it has been suggested by citizen journalist, Greg Price, that Senator Fred Mills received ‘massive contributions’ from pharmaceutical giants which manufacture the very medications the bill sought to ban.

THE DAILY MAIL: A female runner was cheated out of her long-standing Parkrun record by a trans-identified male allowed to take part in the women’s category.
Earlier in the week, The Telegraph reported that Parkrun organisers allow trans-identified male runners to ‘self-identify’ into the women’s category.
Parkrun is a global running community which operates a series of 5-kilometre events every Saturday morning at over 2,000 locations across 22 countries. Thousands of people take part every weekend with the best times, places and records for each Parkrun course being recorded and published on its regional websites.
In 2018, Deb Roberts set a course record of 20 minutes and 6 seconds in the female 40 - 45 age group category when completing the Parkrun in her hometown of Porthcawl. For over five years her record stood unbroken.
However, last weekend, Roberts’ record was smashed to smithereens by a trans-identified male, 43-year-old Sian Longthorpe, who only began ‘transitioning’ four years ago. He recorded a time of 18 minutes and 53 seconds.
Deb Roberts told The Daily Mail, “I felt robbed, to be honest. If my record has been beaten by a natural born female runner, I would have accepted that as fair and square… This is different because my record has been broken by someone who was not born as a woman. That does not seem fair”.
Speaking to The Telegraph, former Olympian, Mara Yamauchi, said that Parkrun’s policy of ‘inclusion’ means females and their achievements are excluded. She added that this particular record was “Probably now out of female hands forever”.
Fiona McAnena of campaign group Fair Play For Women told the paper, “If the course record matters enough to put up on a website it matters to the woman who has got it. There’s a lot to love about Parkrun but they’ve got this wrong. They are taking away women’s chances to be first in their age category and first in their sex class. That’s not inclusive, that’s not kind.”
As if to underline how ludicrous the Parkrun policy is, another news story published this week revealed that a female record is held by a violent trans-identified male currently serving a prison sentence for attempted murder.
In 2017 Lauren (formerly Michael) Jeska was given an 18-year prison sentence for the attempted murder of a UK Athletics official who had challenged his eligibility to compete in women’s events. Ralph Knibbs, then the UK Athletics’ head of human resources, was left with with life-threatening injuries after Jeska attacked him, stabbing him repeatedly with two different blades, at his office in Birmingham's Alexander Stadium. At Jeska’s trail Knibbs told the court about the “Traumatic, life-changing experience” he suffered which have left him dependent on others with long-term nerve damage and partial permanent sight loss.
Jeska is recorded on the Aberystwyth Parkrun website as the holder of the women’s record with a time of 17 minutes 38 seconds.
Friday 26th May - This Never Happens #1
IL GIORNO: A trans-identified male was detained after he allegedly exposed himself to children, attacked police officers and tried to evade arrest.
Police officers were called to a primary school near Trotter Park in Milan where a trans-identified male was shouting obscenities at the parents and schoolchildren assembling just outside. The male is said to have shouted that he was HIV positive and would infect people with his blood. He then stripped naked in the middle of the street, thus exposing himself to the children filing into their school.
He was subdued by four officers at the scene and placed in a police vehicle for transportation to the nearby police station. It is alleged that he attempted to self-harm with a pair of tweezers, causing himself to bleed, and screamed that he would ‘infect everyone’ with HIV. He then appeared to feign illness, causing officers to stop the car. He physically attacked the officers who went to his aid and leapt from the vehicle.
The police officers chased the male on foot with one being thrown to the ground when he attempted to apprehend him. Another officer chased the male using a civilian’s scooter. The suspect was eventually apprehended and taken to the police station. According to Il Giorno, two police officers were injured during the incident.
Officers used pepper spray in order to apprehend the suspect and employed their batons while subduing him, leading to allegations of police brutality. The Milan prosecutor’s office has now opened an investigation into the conduct of the police officers, all of whom have been placed on ‘desk duty’ in the meantime.
Rula Jebreal, a journalist who is currently a visiting professor at the University of Miami, posted video footage on social media showing the police apprehending the trans-identified male suspect. She added the comment, “Italian police brutally assaulted, pepper sprayed, and kicked an unarmed trans-woman in Milan” and she appears to blame critics of gender ideology for the situation.
Jebreal failed to explain the circumstances leading to this incident or to provide any context and she did not respond to Twitter users replying to her Tweet. Similarly, some foreign media outlets have described the incident as ‘transphobic’ whilst neglecting to report on the events leading up to it. A Lombardy councillor, Onorio Rosati, demanded that the officers involved should be punished and described the suspect as a woman. He commented, “Immediately crush this violence. Any crime that woman [sic] has committed is not justified by this violence.”
There is never any excuse for police brutality. But one wonders if people would be so concerned about this man - who exposed his penis to and threatened a group of schoolchildren - if it weren’t for his trans identity?
Saturday 27th May - Leave Them Kids Alone #1
THE AUSTRALIAN: Thousands of Australian children are being treated for gender dysphoria with hundreds being turned into medical patients as a result.
Ten years ago, the number of Australian children seeking treatment for gender dysphoria was very small. In 2014, the gender clinic at The Royal Children’s Hospital in Victoria was treating just over 100 patients. By the end of last year, it was treating approximately 1100 patients, 674 of who were female. Fifty-six of those children were taking puberty blockers and 49 had already been prescribed cross-sex hormones.
The article in The Australian details a number of examples of young people being treated for gender issues which developed as they approached puberty. One story is that of ‘Jack’, a young girl who began binding her developing breasts aged just 13 and now suffers skin damage as result.
Jack, who is on the autism spectrum, spoke of being an ‘outsider’ when she was a child and the terror of feeling that her body was ‘out of control’. “Gender was a big topic at school”, she said. My friends were all talking about how they were trans and they were going to transition. They were watching a lot of trans YouTubers. When I watched them it gave me some kind of hope that maybe I could be okay with my body in the future, like there was hope if I transitioned.”
At twelve years old Jack saw a child and adolescent psychologist who affirmed her ‘gender identity’. “I was sold this lie that if I become a medical patient for life, I’ll be happy”, she said. “I think from the get go, if I had been given help for the underlying issues, like the causes of my dysphoria, the things that were really behind it, if they didn’t let it get this bad, if I was basically taught not to hate myself, I wouldn’t be in this situation.”
Jack’s mother told the paper, “What we’re talking about here is the discomfort of puberty, and it’s being rebranded as being trans”.

THE TIMES: A young detransitioning woman is speaking out against the ‘cult’ which pushes gender-confused teenagers down a path of medicalisation.
Bethany was aged nineteen and an undergraduate when she was indoctrinated into gender ideology. She had never questioned her ‘gender’ until she started university and attracted the unwanted sexual attention of men which made her feel unsafe. She had an unsettled childhood and, struggling to fit in, became depressed and suicidal.
She joined the university LGBTQ group and was soon spending hours on the internet looking at transgender websites, soaking up all the information and advice they provided about transitioning. She assumed a male identity and name and, at the start of her second year, referred herself to a private clinic. Within weeks she was taking testosterone and six months later underwent a double mastectomy.
Now aged twenty-six, Bethany is detransitioning and has stopped injecting herself with testosterone. Her deep voice cannot be altered, she needs electrolysis to deal with her residual facial hair and is as yet unsure of the long-term damage which may be been caused to her body and her fertility.
Happily, Bethany is in a relationship with a woman, having realised that she is not transgender but a lesbian. By telling her story, she hopes to protect other young people from rushing into medicalisation. However, she wishes to remain anonymous, fearing a backlash from trans activists. “It is alarming but people need to understand this is worse than Scientology”, she told The Times. “It is like a cult. It’s in schools, in universities, on social media. How have we allowed this to happen? It has to stop.”
Sunday 28th May - This Never Happens #2
REDUXX: A trans-identified male paedophile has pleaded guilty to the sexual enticement of a minor.
Randy Goodreau, who calls himself Scarlet Shadows, is a 32-year-old male who ‘identifies’ as a twelve-year-old girl and claims to be a lesbian. In January 2022 Goodreau appeared in federal court having been arrested in an FBI sting operation which was investigating the sex trafficking of children. He has now pleaded guilty to the attempted enticement of a minor.
In December 2021, Goodreau began exchanging messages with an undercover agent he believed to be an eleven year old girl and another agent he believed to be the girl’s mother. He discussed ‘teaching’ the child about sex and asked to ‘date’ her.
In one conversation with the agent he believed to be the little girl, Goodreau urged her into secrecy, writing, “We have to keep the relationship a secret. So to the public im gonna be your nanny but wen we are home we are girlfriends. Its just so we don’t get in trouble then when your not a minor we can express our love in public”.
In another exchange, he detailed the sexual activity he intended with the child, discussing oral and penetrative sex and explaining that he has a penis.
A Department of Justice press release detailing this case refers to Goodreau with female pronouns throughout and, aside from a brief mention of his change of name, gives no indication that he is male or that he has a trans identity.
Goodeau will be sentenced in August and faces a minimum of 10 years behind bars.
But this never happens, right?
See you next week.
If we ever get to the other side of this with our sanity intact, at least we’ll be forewarned in case any other paedophilic, perverted, misogynistic, homophobic and just completely deranged movement tries to infiltrate society and brainwash our children. The monied people pushing this, the authoritarians using it to bring in laws to control speech and thought, the paedophiles and perverts jumping on the bandwagon….. all will need to be watched.
I will include the psychiatric hospital episode in my channel today. Too many of us, about 25%, from my sample of about 3 dozen, are physically attacked by our crossdressing husbands. What's astounding is that even if the police were called and there are records, when children are involved, the courts still want to give the dude extensive visitation time with the little ones. If you are in this situation, always, always, call the police after to document his violence. Always, always write down a detailed account with dates, times of day, places, his exact words as he lost it. This is because they often threaten to kill us. It is often not possible, but if you can somehow get the phone to record his words, or his talking about it afterwards, that is optimal for an outcome where he has to admit what he did. And tell significant friends or relatives afterward, for them to write down and date. The link is to a trans widow's tale of being choked and keeping the visitation of father now calling himself "Mama-Rosie" to a minimum. Two year old son involved.
