Monday 30th January - The Money Keeps Rolling In
THE TELEGRAPH: Mermaids’ income rocketed during the last fiscal year thanks mainly to the ‘training’ it provides.
The Telegraph has revealed that, in the year to March 2022, Mermaids more than doubled its training provision. It hosted 329 training sessions during that period compared with 143 sessions the previous year, reaching over 5000 people. This means that Mermaids’ income also increased, rising from £59,546 to £151,246, according to its most recent accounts.
Mermaids said it had provided so-called ‘awareness training’ to various organisations, public bodies, and corporate businesses. Those swallowing its particular brand of lobbying dressed up as education include police forces, the NHS, schools, colleges, and universities.

THE CRITIC: Yasmin Zenith examines the ‘charter’ which promotes gender ideology propaganda to future medical professionals.
GLADD is a UK organisation which, according to its own website, “Unites and represents LGBTQ+ doctors, dentists, medical and dental students from all over the country”. Together with Lancaster University Medical School and contributors it describes as ‘queer medical activists’, GLADD has produced a ‘charter’ for UK medical schools on LGBT ‘conversion therapy’.
The main purpose of this charter is to ban all so-called ‘conversion therapy’, not just - quite rightly - for gay and lesbian people, but also for those who identify as transgender. One of its core principles is the affirmation-only model and it demands that adherents must affirm all patients in their ‘gender and sexual identity’.
Yasmin Zenith writes of the charter, “Its critics are concerned that it is a flawed, unscientific document motivated by activism, not clinical considerations… The charter’s language is clunky and repetitive; definitions are obscured. Its lack of clarity is striking”. One experienced medical professional, speaking under the condition of anonymity, told her, “This is not the language of medicine. It is the language of religion.”
It has already been signed by 80% of the UK’s medical schools.

REDUXX: A trans-identified male inmate with a history of violence against women has been moved to a female prison in Kansas.
Thomas Preston Lamb first fell foul of the law in the mid-1960s when he was convicted of theft. Dr. Hector Cavallin, the psychiatrist who evaluated him following his first conviction, said that Lamb’s obsession with women’s clothing was ‘central to his legal difficulties’ as he’d committed burglary in order to buy female clothes.
In December 1969, Lamb kidnapped and murdered Karen Sue Kemmerly. She had paid Lamb a compliment, commenting that he was a ‘handsome man’, which enraged Lamb who demanded to be viewed as a woman. He strangled Kemmerly and left her naked body in a cornfield.
In January 1970, only a month after he’d killed Karen Sue Kemmerly, Lamb kidnapped 18-year-old Patricia Ann Childs. He returned Childs to her family after her father paid his ransom demand. Court documents pertaining to the case subsequently revealed that, during her kidnapping ordeal, Lamb had bound and raped his victim, although he never faced any formal charges for doing so.
Prior to his trial, Lamb was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation by Dr Joseph Satten, a psychiatrist specializing in criminology. Satten testified that Lamb was suffering from a ‘serious mental disorder’ which comprised two different elements. He described these elements as ‘transexualism’ and ‘borderline or latent schizophrenia’.
Lamb was eventually convicted of two counts of kidnapping and one count of first-degree murder and is serving three consecutive life sentences in prison. While incarcerated, Lamb began calling himself Michelle Renee and in 2007 he applied for a legal name change. The Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC) has provided Lamb with ‘female undergarments’ which, apparently, are ‘therapeutic’, and he has been supplied with cross-sex hormones.
Lamb, now 81 years old, is described as ‘female’ in the Kansas Criminal Justice Information System. On 27th January he was quietly transferred to Topeka Correctional Facility, a women’s prison.

DAILY MAIL US: A trans-identified male ‘influencer’ has been charged with the murder of his father and the stabbing of his younger sister.
On 29th December New York police officers responded to a 911 report at an apartment building in Brooklyn. They found 61-year-old Carlo Secondino stabbed and bludgeoned to death. His 19-year-old daughter, Liana Secondino, had also been stabbed, suffering wounds to the head, back and stomach. She was rushed to hospital in a critical condition.
22-year-old trans-identified male, Nikki Secondino, a model and social media ‘influencer’, has been charged with the murder of his father and the attempted murder of his sister.
At a court hearing this week, a six-count indictment has revealed details about the case. Prosecutors allege that Secondino stabbed his father and bludgeoned him to death as he slept on a couch in the family home and then brutally stabbed his sister following an argument over a laptop.
After his arrest, Secondino was interrogated and is alleged to have confessed to the crimes, telling investigators, “I came out of the bedroom. My father was sitting on the couch, I hit him on the head with a hammer. Then I reached for my favourite German knife and stabbed the shit out of him. My sister came out and tried to stop me and I stabbed her in the back, head, and stomach. I wanted them dead”.
Reporting on the crimes at the time, ABC7 Eye Witness News described Secondino as a ‘woman’ and a ‘daughter’ and referred to him with female pronouns.
Similarly, CBS New York made no reference to Secondino’s sex when reporting this story, using female pronouns with which refer to him and also describing him as a ‘woman’ and a ‘daughter’.
Despite publishing statements from family friends about Secondino and his often volatile personality - “A danger to herself [sic] or to others” - CBS omitted to mention the very salient fact that he is male.

WHIO RADIO: A trans-identified male is facing three separate charges of indecent exposure in the female locker room of a YMCA in Xenia, Ohio.
31-year-old Darren Glines, who ‘identifies as a woman’ and calls himself Rachel, is facing three charges of indecent exposure.
The charges relate to incidents in 2021 and 2022 when customers of the Xenia YMCA complained to police that a naked man was exposing himself in the female locker room. On one of these occasions, there were three children present.
The president of the Xenia City Council, William Urshcel, discussed these charges at a recent meeting, a recording of which was uploaded to YouTube. He said he understood that, when one of the women complained to YMCA staff that there was a naked man in the female locker room, she was instructed he is ‘actually a woman’ and to not be disturbed by his presence. The woman’s husband tried to raise this issue with YMCA staff, but he was told that access to the locker room facilities is based on a policy of gender self-identification and in accordance with state legislation.
William Urshcel went on to say that another one of the female patrons who reported the indecent exposure to police had been using the locker room with her young daughters when they found a naked male in their presence.
This situation is hardly unprecedented. Only a few weeks ago a 17-year-old girl encountered a naked male who ‘identifies as a woman’ in the female shower room at the Santee YMCA. When she spoke to YMCA staff, she was reprimanded for trying to make a complaint. She was told that the man ‘identifies as a girl’ and so is entitled to use whichever locker room he chooses.
In July 2022, 80-year-old Julie Jarman encountered a trans-identified male in the women’s showers at Port Townsend’s Mountain View Pool, a facility operated in partnership with the YMCA. She was using the shower when she heard a male voice. Looking around her flimsy shower curtain, she saw a male in a women’s swimming costume who was watching a group of little girls take off their bathing suits. The male in question turned out to be a pool employee, Clementine Adams, who ‘identifies as a woman’ but has yet to undergo any surgery.
Regarding this latest incident in Ohio, the YMCA issued a statement saying, “Under no circumstance will we investigate an individual’s birth identity and then assign individuals to locker rooms”. In other words, males can continue exposing themselves to and spying on women and girls in female locker rooms.
Also Today - Women’s Rights Are Finnish’d
EURONEWS: Finland has passed self-ID legislation, effectively erasing biological sex.
Finland has passed a new law allowing people to legally change their sex by means of self-declaration.
The legislation was passed by a substantial majority - 113 votes for and 69 against - in the Finnish parliament. It removes any requirement for medical treatment or psychiatric evaluation and allows people aged eighteen and over to be legally recognised as the opposite sex based purely on their own say so.
Has the Finnish government forgotten their country’s only serial killer? Michael Maria Pentholm, aka Jukka Lindholm, murdered four women and attacked, sexually assaulted, and raped numerous others. Whenever at liberty, he has proved himself to be a real and constant danger to the female sex. He self-identifies as a woman.

SCOTTISH EXPRESS: SNP minister, Christina McKelvie, has supported a group of trans activists and ‘furries’ which planned to derange a legitimate feminist meeting in Scotland.
Standing For Women held one of its now famous ‘Let Women Speak’ events in Glasgow on Sunday. Prior to the event, a group calling itself Furries Against Fascism was advertising its intention to join the ‘protest’ which had been organised by Cabaret Against The Hate, another Antifa adjacent bunch. (For the uninitiated, ‘furries’ are a group of people - usually males - who get their sexual kicks by role playing as anthropomorphic / cartoon animals. A popular branch of this fetish involves participants role-playing as infantilised furry characters and there’s a good deal of S&M involved, too.)
Cabaret Against the Hate were advertising their ‘protest’ on social media as involving a ‘live karaoke cabaret’ and ‘loud queer voices’. Participants were encouraged to bring megaphones and musical instrument. Clearly the intention was to prevent women from exercising their legal right to free speech. Furthermore, protestors were instructed to conceal their identity by wearing masks.
Similarly, Furries Against Fascism were encouraging participants to bring megaphones and musical instruments and to cover their faces with masks to conceal their identities.
As we know from experience, such ‘protests’ against Standing for Women’s events always involve intimidating and aggressive behaviour and even outright violence.
Indeed, the Glasgow Police were so concerned about the safety of the women attending the event, the Air Support Unit was drafted in to assist.
It is, therefore, even more shocking that SNP Equalities Minister, Christina McKelvie, supported the intention to sabotage the SFW event by retweeting a post advertising the cabaret/furry agitation.
Former SNP councillor, Caroline McAllister Commented, “Last week it was SNP Parliamentarians standing beside signs threatening violence against women. This week it's Christina McKelvie, Minister for Equalities in the Scot Gov, retweeting a counter protest designed to intimidate women & prevent free speech”.
Director of For Women Scotland, Marion Calder, told the paper, “We're shocked and dismayed to see the equalities minister appear to sanction this attempt to silence women”.
At the Standing for Women event on Sunday, true to form, the trans activists demonstrated their usual techniques of aggression and intimidation.
Their usual incoherence and puerile insults were also on full view.
This is the side that SNP Equalities Minister, Christina McKelvie, has chosen over a group of women defending their sex-based rights.

THE TELEGRAPH: Isla Bryson, the trans-identified male convicted of raping two vulnerable women, tried to join a self defence class for female victims of male violence.
There was yet another shocking revelation regarding double rapist, Isla Bryson (aka Adam Graham), this week. While awaiting his trial, Bryson tried to enrol on a self-defence course at the Scottish Centre for Personal Safety in Ardrossan, Ayrshire, which was specifically for female victims of male sexual violence.
Bryson approached the centre in September 2021, only weeks after changing his ‘gender identity’ on court documents from Adam Graham to Annie Bryson, the female name he initially opted to use. He arranged a meeting with the centre director to discuss joining the course. A source at the centre told The Scottish Sun that Bryson claimed he had been physically attacked by several males and alleged that he had been bullied while studying at Ayrshire College. Of course, he totally failed to mention that he was awaiting trial for raping two women.
Bryson was rejected by the centre, having failed its strict safeguarding checks.
Conservative MSP, Russell Findlay, commented, “It tells you everything that a local gym owner had more robust screening and common sense than the SNP’s gender self-ID prison policy”. He added, “Yet prison bosses, in thrall to Nicola Sturgeon’s self-ID obsession, accepted this double rapist’s claims at face value. Had it not been for SNP politicians’ fear of the public backlash, this predator would almost certainly still be in a women’s prison”.
Huge kudos to Alan Bell, founder and manager of The Scottish Centre for Personal Safety, for protecting the women there and showing Bryson the door.

REDUXX: A trans-identified male is suing a New Jersey spa because they refused him entry to the female-only bathing area where women and girls are naked.
Alexander Goebert is a US Army Veteran and law school graduate who owns a martial arts centre in New York where he teaches taekwondo. He ‘identifies as a woman’ but has not had any ‘sex reassignment’ surgery.
In August 2022 he visited New Jersey’s King Spa & Sauna, a venue inspired by traditional Korean bathhouses known as jimjilbang. Such venues are strictly sex-segregated as patrons must be naked when using the bathing areas, a policy made clear on the spa’s own website.
On arrival at the spa, Goebert was issued a ‘male token’. In accordance with the facility’s policy, he was prohibited from entering the women’s bathing section because of the nudity policy. (It should be noted that the spa allows access to children over the age of ten.)
Goebert was asked to use the mixed-sex areas where clothing is required. Unhappy with this request, Goebert complained to the spa’s manager who issued him with a refund and asked him to leave the premises.
In October 2022, Goebert filed a complaint with New Jersey’s Department of Law and Public Safety. He is claiming that King Spa & Sauna failed “To accommodate the complainant so she [sic] could use the facilities in accordance with her gender identity.” As compensation, Goebert “Requests whatever relief is provided by the law, including, but not limited to, affirmative relief, and compensatory damages for economic loss, humiliation, mental pain and suffering.”
Saturday 4th February - “Her Penis”
THE DAILY MAIL: A man who exposed his penis and testicles to police officers was referred to with female pronouns in court and described as a ‘woman’ in the media.
A trans-identified male appeared in Edinburgh Sheriff Court this week over offences which took place in January 2020. 55-year-old Jason Pilley ‘identifies as a woman’ and has changed his name to Jane Knightingale.
The court heard that police officers were called to Knightingale’s home in Edinburgh in January 2020 following reports of a violent disturbance. He was completely naked when he opened the door to the officers, his male genitalia on full view.
The officers gave evidence that, during a drunken tirade, Knightingale continually gave his name as ‘James Savile OBE’ and used racist and homophobic language, calling one officer ‘a German Nazi’ and the other ‘a poof’.
Sheriff Fiona Reith found that the charges of making homophobic and racially offensive remarks had not been proven by the Crown. She concluded, however, that Knightingale was guilty of intentionally exposing his genitalia to the officers and to obstructing them when they requested entry to his property.
Knightingale was referred to with female pronouns in court and described as ‘a woman’ in the media coverage of the case.
When fiscal depute, Duncan Mackenzie, asked PC Hughes what part of Knightingale’s body was on display when he opened the door, the constable replied, “Her penis”.

THE DAILY RECORD: Female prison officers are forced to carry out intimate body searches on dangerous and volatile trans-identified prisoner, Tiffany Scott.
Formerly known as Andrew Burns, Tiffany Scott is considered one of Scotland’s most violent prisoners and has been described as ‘dangerous and unpredictable’. In 2010 he violently assaulted a nurse and in 2013 he admitted to stalking a 13-year-old girl. In 2017 he was charged with a series of violent assaults against staff in Glenochil Prison and, in 2018, Scott slashed a fellow inmate at Slaughton Prison with a razor blade, causing a wound to the man’s face which required eighteen stitches. He is subject to an Order for Lifelong Restriction (OLR), meaning he will only be released when he is no longer considered an ‘unmanageable risk to public safety’.
In 2016, Scott claimed to be transgender and changed his name to Tiffany. It is reported that he has not physically transitioned in any way and is not undergoing any medical treatment for his supposed dysphoria.
Now The Daily Record has revealed that female prison officers from Low Moss prison, where Scott is currently incarcerated, are expected to carry out body searches on him, even when he must be naked for the procedure.
A Low Moss prison officer spoke to The Record. “This all started last summer when the PR2 system (Prisoner Records) suddenly designated Scott to be a woman… Up to then a woman would not have been asked to search the lower half during a full body search, obviously because it would have been totally inappropriate to ask a woman to do that. But from one day to the next it became inappropriate for male officers to do the searches – and the human rights of the female staff went out the window. It’s mad because nothing about Scott has changed physically”.
The source spoke of the female prison officers who have refused to search Scott, explaining that “They have to write up their reasons in a paper and submit it to bosses”. Such a refusal means another woman has to do the search. “Probationers and less experienced staff have felt forced to do it”.
Just to be clear, inexperienced and probationary female prison staff are expected to carry out intimate body searches on a naked man who is one of the most violent and disturbed prisoners in Scotland. Because he ‘identifies as female’.
Sunday 4th February - “Both Sides”
THE TELEGRAPH: Queer theory academics likened a feminist conference to ‘enabling eugenics’ while trans activists assaulted one of the women in attendance.
On Saturday UCL Women’s Liberation SIG and WPUK hosted a feminist conference called ‘Education for Women’s Liberation’. Speakers included Joanna Cherry KC, Julie Bindel, Helen Joyce and Akua Reindorf, amongst many other leading feminist writers and academics. It focused on the role of education in feminism and women’s lives.
A pair of UCL academics compared this conference - which focused on education and women’s liberation - with the enabling of eugenics.
Dr Simon Lock and Dr Xine Yao, who co-direct a staff and student research group on gender studies and queer theory, released a statement just prior to the start of the event. They described the feminist speakers as having ‘anti-trans and anti-queer views’ and said that their being invited onto the UCL campus, “Invalidates the hard work UCL has undertaken over the last several years to address issues of EDI [equality, diversity and inclusion], including the legacy of eugenics and debates about anti-Semitism.”
The statement continued, “To entertain uninformed positions that hurt, or worse question the validity of marginalised peoples, places UCL in the position of once again enabling the likes of the eugenics conferences that ran on campus through 2017.”
Professor Alice Sullivan, one of the speakers at the event, told The Telegraph, “The idea that believing that sex matters is somehow comparable to eugenics is grotesque and defamatory.” Another panel speaker, Professor Jo Phoenix, commented, “To compare feminist ideas and debate, to the ideology that led to the murder and sterilisation of millions worldwide is both supremely anti-academic and, quite frankly, disgusting.”
About two dozen trans activists had assembled on the UCL campus to protest the event. One of the group’s leaders was trans-identified male, Sarah Jane Baker, formerly known as Alan Baker. As a young man he spent time inside for crimes such as drug dealing and armed robbery. He then served 30 years for the kidnap and torture of one of his own family members and the attempted murder of a fellow prisoner. He was released in 2019 and, since then, has been a vociferous trans activist
At a London Trans Pride March in 2021, Baker was photographed holding placards, one of which demonstrates his support for the sexual exploitation of women and another which read ‘Be trans, do crime’. There was speculation on social media that, given the huge similarity between the red spray-painted signs, he was also responsible for a placard making death threats against JK Rowling.
At the UCL feminist conference on Saturday, Baker yelled abuse at the women attending, calling them ‘c*nts’.
Another trans activist screamed “Literally fuck you!” into a megaphone as women gathered for the event.
Once the conference was underway, the trans activists circled the building, banging on the windows and continuing to scream and chant. Judith Green, the director of Woman’s Place UK, described their behaviour as deliberately intended to intimidate and said that it did cause distress to some of the women there.
The Metropolitan Police were called to the UCL after one of the women attending the conference was assaulted by a trans activist. Kate Worley, known as DJ Lippy, is a founder of the Make More Noise feminist group. She explained to The Telegraph that she was filming the trans activist protesters who chanting outside the conference venue. “A hooded gentleman came up to me, said ‘Stop filming me!’ and then grabbed my phone, wrestled it out of my hand and threw it over a wall. He pulled both of my thumbs back, which are now bruised and hurt… He tussled with me and ran down the street and disappeared.”
Both sides, eh?
See you next week.
It just seems to get worse and worse, no matter what we all do to try and wake people up. It’s as if we’re all living through a 50s sci fi movie where everyone has been brainwashed or taken over by evil alien beings. How can so many people be in thrall to so much crap. I could understand that at first people just wanted to be kind but now there’s just too much information out there so are people being deliberately dense and if so, why?
So exactly what has the long and dangerous reign of ‘gender’ ideology taught us? It has taught us a lot about humanity in the twenty-first century. The true depth of woman-hatred. The true depth of child-hatred. The particular vulnerability of teenage girls. The weakness of so-called ‘experts’. The danger of the internet ‘hive’ mind. The dangerous influence of overwhelmingly accessible pornography. The weakness of ALL of our institutions (which are really only people after all). The staggeringly cynical profit motivation of people in the corporate world. The overwhelming need by individuals not to be negatively labelled (transphobe, unkind, bigot, dinosaur, non-progressive etc.), the ubiquitous cowardice of human beings, and FINALLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY -- the importance of individual conscience. Only the brave will save this world. It’s always been like that. Answer only to your intuition and true knowledge. Don’t travel with the herd. Instead, be a fierce lion — your herd no longer accepts you anyway. We each must sign our own declaration of independence.
Gender’ ideology — a wonderfully powerful, and somewhat depressing, teacher.
