Monday 2nd October - “Nobody is Mutilating Kids”
TRUE NORTH: Hundreds of underaged Canadian girls have had their healthy breasts surgically removed in the name of so-called ‘gender affirming’ medicine.
A horrifying new report, first revealed by The National Post, has shown that hundreds of underaged Canadian girls have had double mastectomies because they believe themselves to be transgender.
Data collated by the Canadian Institute for Health Information show that, since 2018, 602 young girls under the age of 18 were recorded as having undergone a double-mastectomy. Nearly half were under the age of 17 and the youngest recorded was just 14 years old.
These figures are shocking enough but they do not provide the whole picture since they exclude mastectomies performed at Quebec hospitals and they do not take into account surgeries carried out in private clinics.

WYNDHAM TV: An autistic Australian schoolgirl was suspended from her school after expressing her concern about a trans-identified boy using the female toilets.
10-year-old Kenzie, who is autistic, is a pupil at Manor Lakes College in Victoria, Australia. Last month she was extremely confused and uncomfortable on discovering a trans-identified male student in the girls’ bathroom. She questioned his being there and told him that if he has ‘boy parts’ then he should use the boys’ toilet.
Kenzie’s mother, Stacey, spoke to Wyndham News about her daughter. “Being autistic things are very black and white. She had no previous knowledge. She needed support but there was no support whatsoever.”
The school suspended Kenzie, claiming that she had behaved “In a manner that posed a danger, whether actual, perceived or threatened, to the health, safety or wellbeing of any person”. (Surely a male student using the female toilets is far more likely to be posing a ‘danger, whether actual or perceived’ to the ‘safety or wellbeing’ of the girls whose spaces he is invading?)
Kenzie’s mother and grandmother attended a meeting with the school principal, Scott Dellar, who continually insisted that the suspension was warranted. The two women claim that Dellar told them to leave after they insisted that other parents should be informed of this practice and mentioned contacting the media.
Stacey commented, “It’s not right... He’s not taking into consideration that everybody with a disability needs to be heard”.
Tuesday 3rd October - A Level Playing Field
DAILY MAIL: A trans-identified male high school student has been permitted to compete in female athletics where he has dominated.
Soren Stark-Chessa is a 16-year-old trans-identified male student at Maine Coast Waldorf School in Freeport, USA.
A cross-country runner, last year he was ranked 172nd in the district in the boys’ category. This year he is ‘identifying as female’ and permitted to compete in the girls’ races. He’s now ranked 4th in the district. In the female category, of course.
On Saturday 30th September, Stark-Chessa competed in the Maine XC Festival of Champions, in the female category, and finished fifth.
One young female runner told journalist Shawn McBreairty, “It is not fair to a female who has trained hard”.

REDUXX: A women’s rights campaigner in The Netherlands is facing criminal charges after a trans-identified male fetishist reported her to the police for saying that men aren’t women.
54-year-old Alexandra Erné is a vociferous trans activist who began ‘identifying as a woman’ just four years ago. He revels in using women’s spaces and frequently brags about his legal right to access them. In 2019 he took legal action against the BigGym fitness centre in Alkmaar after he was refused permission to use the female-only showers and changing rooms.
In an interview with Noordhollands Dagblad, Erné said that he began ‘identifying as a woman’ when a side effect of his bi-polar medication meant he developed the breasts he’d always wanted. “I always thought that was a weird fetish”, he said, explaining that developing a pair of A cups made him realise he’s really a woman. He then began taking hormones hoping to make his breasts bigger.
Despite still being fully intact, in light of his new-found ‘gender identity’, Erné demanded access to BigGym’s female showers and changing rooms. When refused, he emailed the gym’s management to say, “I will come to BigGym as I feel most comfortable in everyday life - this means skirts and dresses with panties / stay ups. I don't know how the men will feel in their dressing room”. A few days later he emailed again to say he intended using the women’s facilities and, if prevented from doing so, would take legal action. BigGym then reneged on their decision and said could use the women’s spaces on the understanding of his ‘appropriate behaviour’.
Nevertheless, Erné pursued a legal complaint against the gym and, at the end of 2021, the Dutch Institute for Human Rights declared that he had been discriminated against on the basis of his gender identity.
Not only is he determined to force his way in to women’s spaces, it seems Erné is a sexual fetishist. Reduxx has witnessed an account, confirmed as his, on a fetish social media site, FetLife. He describes himself as ‘submissive, masochist, exhibitionist’ and, of course, as a ‘polyromantic lesbian’. He has posted several videos and over 100 photographs of himself wearing fetish clothes and devices, using sex toys or engaged in bondage. Some pictures show Erné naked or virtually naked in public places and there are also photographs of his now post-operative genitals.
Erné posts blog entries on his FetLife account. In one post dating back to August 2016, he describes waiting for his wife to leave the house so that he can use her belongings for his sexual gratification. In more recent posts, he describes his personality since transitioning. “I have actually become very extroverted (exhibitionist?), busy and very vain. I have also become somewhat egocentric because the transition more or less determines my life now… The only thing left to do now is to arrange the divorce properly.”
Lydia Daniël is a women’s rights campaigner from The Netherlands. Earlier this year she gave a speech at an event celebrating International Women’s Day. She explained how gender ideology negatively affects female rights and spaces, resulting in women having ‘no protection against voyeurism and exhibitionism’.
Erné reported Daniël to the police over this speech, claiming her speaking about women’s rights was ‘insulting’. He submitted a video of the speech which Daniël had posted to her social media account. “I am reporting Lydia, aka Insufferable TERF”, Erné wrote in the report. “The suspect has made insulting statements in public… She said that transgender women were not women, but men. I am a transsexual and feel like a woman and also am a woman even though I was not born with a uterus. The statements Lydia makes in these videos hurt me as a woman and I find them downright discriminatory.” He posted a copy of his police report to his social media account to brag about taking legal action against a feminist.
Daniël has yet to receive any formal communications from police. She told Reduxx, “I still can’t quite wrap my head around the fact that our government and institutions like our College voor de Rechten van de Mens are equating porn-addled men to women and forcing us to participate in their sexual fantasies. In doing so, they have effectively taken our consent since validating their fetishes is a sexual act.”
Wednesday 4th October - We Told You So
NEWSWEEK: A US tech careers conference supposedly intended to encourage women in the industry was overrun by men claiming to be ‘non-binary’.
Named after the legendary computer scientist, the Grace Hopper Celebration, is an annual conference and career fair for women in tech. Established almost 30 years ago, its intention is to “Bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront”. With sponsors such as Amazon, Apple and Bloomberg, it is a major networking opportunity for women hoping to pursue or advance careers in tech.
Because it is also open to those who identify as ‘non-binary’, this year’s event was inundated by males who, in search of lucrative tech jobs, had ‘self-identified’ as ‘non-binary’ in order to attend. With admission costing between $649 and $1,300, male attendees took discounted academic tickets intended for women and swamped the interview slots and recruiting opportunities.
Cullen White is the chief impact officer at AnitaB, the non-profit organisation which organises the event. He spoke at the conference, later posting a video on X (formerly Twitter), to berate the male registrants who had lied about their ‘identity’ to gain access. He said they were taking up space and time with recruiters that should have gone to women. “Some of you lied when you registered. And as evidenced by the stacks and stacks of resumes you're passing out, you did so because you thought you could come here and take space to try and get a job… All of those are limited resources to which you have no right.”
But that’s the problem with allowing males to ‘self-identify’ their ‘gender’; women only spaces, events and opportunities are rendered impossible.
Thursday 5th October - Clocks Striking 13 at SETU
IRISH TIMES: A lecturer at an Irish university is questioning the institution’s new policy which enforces the use of ‘preferred pronouns’ and claims that a refusal to do so is unlawful.
The South East Technological University (SETU) is a multi-site institution, spread over campuses in Waterford, Carlow, Wexford, Wicklow and Kilkenny. This week it launched its new ‘gender identity and expression’ policy which describes a refusal to use a staff member’s or a student’s ‘preferred pronouns’ as an example of ‘unlawful discrimination or harassment’.
Colette Colfer is a SETU lecturer in world religions and has challenged the university’s new policy. She says that she has no personal objection to using ‘preferred pronouns’, but she objects to it being compulsory.
She said, “I support the broad aim of the policy, but not the methods. All students should be treated fairly and equally. But the methods of this policy could result in discrimination against those who do not subscribe to gender identity theory and who believe that biology is more relevant than gender identity in matters such as women’s sports and changing rooms. I really want to stress that I will support policies that are evidence-based and that allow for a diversity of viewpoints. But if we’re going to have policies in higher education institutions, they must be based on evidence and the latest research. Otherwise, we fall into an ideological trap which has negative consequences for everyone, including young people with gender dysphoria”.
Colfer said that many other university staff share her views on this issue but were afraid to speak out. “I know there are other staff who feel the same way, but the level of fear is enormous. They fear for their jobs and careers. I know that. Some are too nervous to even express it in an email.”
The SETU policy states that it was drawn up with regard to all applicable laws. It claims that examples of unlawful discrimination or harassment based on someone’s gender identity can include ‘refusing to address a person by their correct gender pronoun or new preferred name’. Collette Colfer is concerned that this appears to be a misinterpretation of the current law.
She asked, “Are all staff and students at higher education institutions required, by law, to use a person’s preferred pronouns? Is it legal for a higher education institution to dictate to staff and students that they must do this?”
Following the publication of the Irish Times article, Colfer posted on social media that she’d received clarification on the point of law she had questioned. “I have received a reply from the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth - it gives information on the Equality Acts (which I've read), the Workplace Relations Commission, and the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission. Nothing on pronouns.”
Ireland’s Minister for Equality, Roderick O’Gorman, was asked by journalist, Ben Scallan, if ‘misgendering’ someone in the workplace would constitute unlawful discrimination. He refused to answer the question and claimed it was ‘theoretical’.
Despite Colette Colfer being clear that she has no issues personally with using ‘preferred pronouns’, O’Gorman said he would not comment on her complaint as he anticipated it coming before the Workplace Relations Commission. He added that he believes people should be addressed by their preferred pronouns ‘as a matter of basic courtesy’.
Friday 6th October - This Never Happens
REDUXX: A Portuguese trans-identified male with a history of violence against his elderly parents has been charged with the murder of his father and the attempted murder of his mother.
43-year-old Tânia Ferrinho began identifying as transgender in 2020 and legally changed his name. According to his Facebook profile, he claims to be a lesbian and uses lesbian social spaces.
Ferrinho has a history of abusing his elderly parents, Carlos and Maria. An article in Cofina Media reports that over ten incidents of violence were recorded by the authorities and the couple, both in their late 70s, had taken legal action in an attempt to have him evicted from their home. Rede Regional reported that Ferrinho was on probation for a conviction of aggravated physical assault against both parents in 2021.
Reports in the media cite Ferrinho’s laziness and unemployment as a cause of the conflict between him and his parents. Despite being in his 40s, it is reported that Ferrinho has never held down a job but was still financially dependent on his parents and lived in their home in Samora Correia, Portugal.
In October 2022, Ferrinho is reported to have argued with his parents, demanding an allowance which they refused. Shortly afterwards the National Republican Guard (GNR) visited the family’s home to inform Ferrinho that another complaint of abuse had been filed against him.
Immediately after the officers left the premises, Ferrinho allegedly attacked his parents with a knife. He is accused of stabbing his 77 year-old father 17 times before turning on his mother, who was in poor health and bedridden. His father fled from the apartment and into the building’s shared hallway where he collapsed to the floor. A neighbour, hearing the commotion, intervened and managed to prevent Ferrinho from killing his mother.
Carlos Ferrinho died of his injuries in December 2022 while being treated at the Vila Franca de Xira Hospital. His wife, Maria Ferrinho, succumbed to her ill health and passed away shortly after her husband.
Following his arrest, thanks to Portugal’s self ID legislation, Tânia Ferrinho was held in a female prison. According to Portugal Resident, despite being intact of his male genitalia, he demanded to be strip-searched by female officers. Initially, the female prison guards refused to do so because the procedure involved ‘seeing a penis’. Eventually two female guards had to conduct the search but did so ‘under protest’.
Ferrinho’s case began on 13th September in the Santarém Court with the closing arguments being presented this week. Sentencing is expected on 18th October.
Saturday 7th October - These Are Not Our Crimes
THE TELEGRAPH: Hundreds of suspected rapists have been recorded as female or with sex ‘unknown’ by police.
Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act demonstrate the extent to which police forces are prioritising ‘gender identity’ over sex. Hundreds of men suspected of sexual violence against women have been erroneously recorded as female if that was their self-declared ‘gender’.
The Sexual Offences Act 2003 defines rape as follows:
(1) A person (A) commits an offence if—
(a) he intentionally penetrates the vagina, anus or mouth of another person (B) with his penis,
(b) B does not consent to the penetration, and
(c) A does not reasonably believe that B consents.
The Act specifically refers to a perpetrator of rape as ‘he’ and committing rape is clearly defined as requiring a penis.
Nevertheless, during the past four years, police forces have referred 260 so-called ‘females’ to the Crown Prosecution Service for consideration on charges of rape. A further 209 rape suspects have been recorded as having an ‘unknown’ sex, which is understood to include those who identify as non-binary.
Only a few months ago, Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, hit out at ‘woke’ police forces, saying that public confidence is being ‘eroded and needlessly damaged’ by officers who are ‘politicised’ and ‘partisan’.
She maintained that under no circumstances is it biologically or legally right for a rapist to be described with female pronouns. “Not only is that wrong because a woman cannot legally be a rapist, but also it’s grossly insensitive and insulting to the victims of rape who are biological women”, she said.
Has that message got through to the Chief Constable yet?

THE TELEGRAPH: New data shows trans-identified people taking cross-sex hormones are far more susceptible to a number of life-threatening conditions.
New data published in the European Journal of Endocrinology demonstrates that trans-identified people of both sexes are at ‘significantly increased risk’ from potentially lethal conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure and high blood fat and cholesterol levels.
Researchers from Odense University Hospital in Denmark charted the health of 2,671 trans-identified people over a five-year period. They compared the incidence of cardiovascular disease with a control group of 26,700 people and presented the results to the European Association for the Study of Diabetes.
They found that trans-identified males taking oestrogen were 93% more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease than men not taking hormones and 73% more likely than women. The study also found that trans-identified females taking testosterone are 63% more likely to have some form of heart disease than women not taking hormones and more than twice as likely as men.

Sunday 8th October - Leave Them Kids Alone
IRISH INDEPENDENT: An Irish lesbian activist has spoken out about the pushing of gender ideology onto children and young people by a national LGBTQ+ charity which receives substantial government funding.
BeLonG To Youth Services is an Irish organisation aimed at lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex [their word] children and young people who are between 14 and 23 years of age.
Annaig Birdy is a young lesbian woman from Dublin who attended BeLonG To’s youth meetings in 2016 when she was seventeen. She attended about 10 sessions, most of which were held in the Office of the Ombudsman for Children. They were usually attended by 30-50 children and young people with two or three youth workers present, supposedly to moderate discussions. Birdy has spoken out about the young attendees, especially lesbians, being pressurised to identify as trans or non-binary.
There were discussions about how young girls could buy chest binders in secret and hide them from their parents, adult youth leaders would clap and cheer when a group member ‘came out’ as transgender, adult youth workers discussed their own double mastectomies with young attendees and encouraged them to celebrate this surgery and anyone expressing their view that lesbians do not have relationships with trans-identified males would be aggressively shouted down by their peers with no intervention from the youth workers.
Birdy left the group after about 18 months and has subsequently set up Not All Gays, an organisation that campaigns for gay and lesbian rights and free speech, with some of her like-minded friends.
According to its own annual reports, BeLonG To receives substantial government funding. Last year’s financial records show that of its €1,843,036 2022 income, €780,642 came from central government grants and a further €30,643 came from other government agencies.

THE TELEGRAPH: A supposedly female-only homeless shelter is to accommodate males who ‘self identify as female’.
Glass Door is a charity based in London which provides support services for people affected by homelessness. During the winter months, Glass Door provides emergency winter accommodation at shelters in three London boroughs.
The Telegraph has discovered that this winter Glass Door will be allowing trans-identified males into its supposedly female-only accommodation. A spokesman for the charity told the paper, “In line with our Gender, Equality and Diversity policy any guest who identifies as a woman will be treated in line with their gender identity and will be eligible for a space in our women-only shelter”.
Has Glass Door never heard of Katie Dolatowski/Alyanna McKenna, a paedophile sex offender who only last year blagged his way into a female-only refuge? Has it never heard of Christopher Hambrook, a dangerous man with convictions for rape and child abuse who claimed to ‘identify as female’ in order to access women-only shelters where he assaulted their residents? Has it never heard of Tanya Howes or Amy George or Karen White or Isla Bryson or Rebecca Ormrod or Kristen Lukess or Lisa Hauxwell…?
As we have previously documented on this site, trans-identified males pose the same risk of violence to women as any other man. Homeless women are extremely vulnerable and many have already suffered the trauma of male violence and male sexual violence, either on the street or in a home they’re now escaping. These women need and deserve a haven free from males, all males. To gaslight them, to destroy their safety, privacy, dignity and piece of mind just to validate male feelings in this way is unforgiveable.
See you next week.
"She maintained that under no circumstances is it biologically or legally right for a rapist to be described with female pronouns. “Not only is that wrong because a woman cannot legally be a rapist, but also it’s grossly insensitive and insulting to the victims of rape who are biological women”, she said."
I am waiting for a TIM to make the argument in court that even accusing him of rape is misgendering him.
It's appalling what happened to the 10 year old autistic girl in Australia, and whilst I understand the points the child's mother made and what she was emphasising, I don't think the girl's autism should be so prominent in this. Children of 10 shouldn't be expected to familiarise themselves with transgenderism and accept what serves as some kind of ideology as factually correct, and they should not have to encounter people who are not the same sex they are in their lavatories or changing rooms under any circumstances.
The headteacher should be removed from his position, he is responsible for traumatising a young child and disrupting her education. His attitude and the authority attached to it absolutely must be challenged by the parents. His behaviour is indefensible and he shouldn't be given the opportunity to make another child the victim of his misogynistic tyranny.
