Monday 10th April - Leave Them Kids Alone

REDUXX: A cosmetic surgery clinic in the USA appears to have been performing double mastectomies on girls as young as fourteen.

At the beginning of April some disturbing screenshots were posted by several accounts on social media. They depicted ‘before and after’ photographs of teenage girls who have undergone double mastectomies to remove their healthy breasts. Some of the girls were only fourteen.

These young girls appear to have been patients at a clinic in Charlotte, North Carolina, called the Cosmetic Concierge. According to its website, the clinic specialises in “Gender Affirming Surgery & Body Masculinization” under the directorship of former US Air Force surgeon, Dr Hope Sherie.

Although the photographs of the teenage girls now seem to have been removed from the clinic’s website, an archive version of the ‘before and after’ page from January 2022 shows that they did appear on the site at this time.

Dr Hope Sherie is a sponsor of a charity called Point of Pride which provides funds for medical treatments and surgery for ‘trans folks’. This organisation also provides breast binders, free of charge, to young girls, explicitly noting that there is no age restriction to submitting a request for such a garment. While the FAQ page does point out that girls under thirteen must have parental consent, the request form allows the user to simply state their age with no verification required.

These poor kids don’t stand a chance, do they?

9 NEWS: A trans-identified male serial killer who murdered three women is now eligible for parole.

During a seven week period in the summer of 1993 Paul Denyer stalked, abducted and killed three young women in Melbourne, Australia. He murdered his first victim, 18-year-old student, Elizabeth Stevens, on 11th June 1993. He kidnapped her as she got off a bus then took her to a remote location where he strangled and stabbed her. Elizabeth’s half-naked body was found the following day. Denyer had used a homemade knife to carve a zigzag pattern into her chest.

A month later, Denyer murdered 22-year-old Debbie Fream, a new mother who had given birth to her baby boy just 12 days earlier. Denyer broke into her car while she was in a shop buying milk. After abducing her in her own vehicle, Denyer strangled Debbie, stabbed her 24 times and cut her throat. Her body was found a few days later.

Denyer’s third victim was 17-year-old Natalie Russell. He abducted her as she walked home from school on 30th July 1993. He stabbed her repeatedly in the face and neck before finally slitting her throat. It is clear that Natalie fought ferociously for her life meaning that her body, when found soon afterwards, yielded vital DNA evidence.

In addition to his three murder victims, Denyer also attacked 41-year-old Rosza Toth. He grabbed her and tried to drag her into a park but she broke free and managed to escape from him. It was thanks in no small part to her description of Denyer that police were finally able to apprehend him.

During questioning, Denyer was asked why he had killed these women. He replied “I just hate them”. Investigators asked if he meant his victims specifically or women in general and he responded, “General”.

Denyer was charged with three counts of murder and one of abduction, to which he later pleaded guilty. The clinicians who examined Denyer noted his lack of emotion regarding his crimes and his single-minded desire to kill. He was diagnosed with sadistic personality disorder but not legal insanity.

Having spent 30 years behind bars, Denyer is now eligible for parole and could be days away from freedom. According to news reports, he has applied for parole which, if granted, means a release date is possible within the next week.

However, the families and friends of the victims do not know whether or not his request is being or has been considered. Victoria's confidentiality laws prevent authorities from passing on such information. Even if Denyer’s parole request is denied on this occasion, he can continue to apply as many times as he likes.

Many news outlets have reported on Denyer’s request for parole. What most have failed to mention is that, while incarcerated, Denyer began ‘identifying as a woman’ and calling himself Paula.

In 2003 Denyer claimed to suffer from gender dysphoria. He wrote a series of letters, including to his estranged brother, describing his new ‘gender identity’ and claiming his ‘dysphoria’ was the cause of his murdering young women. “I committed these disgusting crimes, not because I hated womenkind but because I have never really felt I was male”, he said.

Denyer asked to be assessed for ‘sex reassignment surgery’. Prison doctors assessed him but subsequently denied his application. He was also refused permission to formally change his name.

In 2013 The Sun Herald reported that Denyer was wearing women's underwear and using make-up while incarcerated. Although this contravened prison rules, a former inmate of Barwon Prison claimed that Denyer was being provided with cosmetics by guards and was wearing bras and women’s clothing he had made himself on prison sewing machines. Furthermore, most of the prison staff were calling him ‘Paula’.

Having failed in his decade-long attempt to be recognised as female while incarcerated, it seems that Denyer eventually gave up his ‘gender identity’ and went back to being called Paul.

However, should Denyer ever be granted parole, the prison authorities will no longer be able to thwart his attempts to switch ‘gender’. Victoria’s self-ID laws mean that Denyer will be able to ‘identify’ however he chooses and he’ll have legal access to every so-called female-only space in the state.

THE OREGONIAN: A Portland cab driver was killed in a ‘senseless and brutal’ murder and the suspect charged appears to be a trans-identified male.

On Sunday 9th April 43-year-old Reese McDowell Lawhon, a Radio Cab driver in Portland, Oregon, was murdered. In a seemingly unprovoked attack, a passenger on the back seat of his cab suddenly plunged a knife into his neck.

30-year-old Moses Lopez was arrested in connection with the crime and has been charged with second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon. He has pleaded not guilty and was released without bail.

It appears that just six days before Reese McDowell Lawhon’s murder, Lopez was arrested and charged after allegedly menacing two people with a knife in a different Oregon county.

According to Andy Ngô writing in The Post Millennial, Lopez identifies as trans.

After inquiries were made to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, it was confirmed that Lopez identified himself as transgender while he was in custody. The Sheriff’s Office issued a statement that, “Lopez reported during the booking process that they identify as a transgender female”.

Wednesday 12th April - What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

ABC 7 NEWS: In the US, the Loudoun County School Board is piloting a scheme to scrap single-sex toilets in its high schools.

The Loudoun County School Board is considering an overhaul of its bathroom designs “To accommodate transgender, nonbinary and gender-expansive students”. It is trialing the installation of individual toilet stalls with shared sink areas to replace existing sex-segregated facilities. The scheme is to be piloted at Loudoun Valley High School and Broad Run High School.

The Loudoun County School Board will probably already be familiar to you.

In June 2021 the then Loudoun County Public Schools superintendent, Scott Ziegler, addressed a crowded school board meeting. He was talking about the board’s new ‘transgender policy’, regulations which allow students to use bathroom facilities based on ‘gender identity’ rather than their sex. Ziegler told the meeting “To my knowledge, we don’t have any record of assaults occurring in our restrooms” and he claimed that “The predator transgender student or person simply does not exist”.

It was then revealed that a 15 year-old-girl at a Loudoun County school had been raped in a school bathroom by a male ‘wearing a skirt’ less than a month before this meeting took place. Stone Bridge School had reported the attack to the police but the board tried to claim that its members were ignorant of it.

The girl’s father, Scott Smith, tried to address the meeting and talk about what happened to his daughter. He was forcibly removed and arrested. Smith subsequently spoke to the media about the cover up of his daughter’s rape.

A 15-year-old boy was later found guilty of raping Smith’s daughter and of sexually assaulting another girl, again at a Loudoun County school.

Astonishingly, less than two years after a girl was raped in one of its bathrooms, the Loudoun School Board is trialing a scheme to make all of its facilities ‘gender neutral’ and further erase female boundaries.

THE TIMES: A male GP who refused to formally state that he wasn’t pregnant was refused an opportunity to be a blood donor.

41-year-old Dr Steffen McAndrew attended an appointment at a blood donation centre in Ayr on 11th April. When asked to complete the necessary forms prior to giving blood, Dr McAndrew refused to answer the question about whether or not he was or had recently been pregnant. He was then told that the appointment could not continue unless he formally acknowledged that he is not having a baby.

“I can’t believe they would refuse a donation from a man based on the fact I refused to say if I was pregnant,” he told The Times. “To say it is bonkers is an understatement. I have a nagging feeling that it is political correctness gone too far, trying to placate and pacify the gender-brigade.”

In June last year another male blood donor in Scotland was turned away without donating because he refused to answer a question about whether or not he is pregnant.

66-year-old father of two, Leslie Sinclair, had been a blood donor for almost half a century and donated 125 pints of blood.

During his visit to a clinic in Stirling he had to complete a form which asked if he was pregnant. He said that being a male he should not be asked this question and refused to answer. Staff told him that they could not accept his blood and he was turned away.

Sinclair told The Daily Mail, “I pointed out to the staff that it was impossible for me to be in that position but I was told that I would need to answer, otherwise I couldn't give blood. I told them that was stupid and that if I had to leave, I wouldn't be back”.

In December 2021, NHS England launched a campaign to recruit a million more blood donors over the next five years after numbers fell dramatically during the pandemic.

Blood plea as donors drop to lowest level this century

bbc.inBlood plea as donors drop to lowest level this centuryThe Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service says it has has lost 13,000 donors in a year.

Less than a year ago the BBC reported that the Scottish health service has fewer registered blood donors than at any other point over the last 20 years. And now, thanks to its slavish adherence to an anti-science ideology, it’s lost two more.

Thursday 13th April - Leave Them Kids Alone #1

Washington state lawmakers have passed a bill which allows children to be separated from their families and medicalised without their parent’s knowledge or consent.

Senate Bill 5599 passed the House this week. It will return to the Senate for further consideration on the suggested amendments. 

The bill is being promoted as legislation which ‘protects trans youth’ in Washington by ‘removing barriers to safe shelter’. In effect, however, it will mean that parents who oppose so-called ‘gender affirming’ medicalisation could be separated from their children and have no say in or even knowledge of their medical treatment.

Under current legislation, if a child seeks accommodation at a licensed shelter or youth programme, the organisation must notify their parents except in cases of parental neglect or abuse. This bill would mean shelters etc no longer need to notify parents but can, instead, contact the Department of Children Youth & Families if a child is pursuing gender-related medical treatment.

A child can be hidden from their parents simply because they oppose medical interventions for issues around gender identity. Furthermore, that child could then be supplied with puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones or surgery without the parent’s permission or even knowledge.

The architect of the bill, Washington State Senator Marko Liias, commented, “I look forward to a future in Washington where every single family supports their trans youth to achieve the care and success that they need. Until that day it’s up to us to make sure that there are safe places for them to learn and grow and thrive.”

In other words, the state will erase the rights of parents to make decisions for their own children if they reject gender identity ideology.

Friday 14th April - Leave Them Kids Alone #2

BBC NEWS: There are concerns that staff from the failing Tavistock & Portman gender clinic have roles in the new service due to open soon.

The Gender Identity and Development Service (GIDS) based at the NHS Tavistock and Portman Clinic is due to close following the damning report from the Cass Review last July. GIDS will be replaced by with two new regional hubs, one in London and the other in the north-west.

However, there are serious concerns about two members of staff appointed to train new employees at these regional hubs. The BBC has learned that one is a GIDS senior clinician who says they are ‘devoted’ to an affirmation approach and that ‘social justice’ underpins all their work. The other appointee has openly questioned Dr Hilary Cass and NHS England's cautious stance on social transition.

Furthermore, Dr Polly Carmichael, director of GIDS from 2009, was initially meant to be on the interviewing panel.

Sajid Javid was the health secretary when the decision to close GIDS was made last year. He told Newsnight that employees who had previously been involved at the failing clinic should not be training the staff at its replacement. He said the GIDS approach was ‘overly affirmative’ and ‘bordered on the ideological’, stating, “Individuals who oversaw significant failings at the Tavistock should clearly not be managing the set-up of the system”.

Dr Marcus Evans, a consultant psychotherapist who resigned from his position as governor at the Tavistock, spoke to The Telegraph. “There are a lot of parents who are already worried after the Tavistock said it would be involved in advising the new service providers. The old service system is discredited. We need a completely different approach that avoids preoccupation with gender to the exclusion of all other facets of the family, child and young person’s personality and development.”

DAILY RECORD: A Scottish couple was reported to social services for ‘misgendering’ their autistic teenager daughter during family therapy sessions.

A couple from East Renfrewshire have spoken of the ‘living nightmare’ they experienced, having vulnerable daughters with gender dysphoria.

The parents have two daughters who are now 14 and 16. The eldest has been diagnosed with autism and the youngest is undergoing assessments for suspected autism. Both have been victims of bullying. The girls both began identifying as trans around the same time, shortly after the elder child started high school.

The children’s school kept the parents in the dark about their daughters’ social transition. The mother commented, “We never said it was ok to call them by different pronouns at school. When we found out, it had been happening for such a long time that it was difficult to come back from that”. She added, “It seemed there was no watchful waiting approach open to the children. It was all about affirming and being pushed down that path of affirmation.

The school told the family that they were simply following Scottish government guidelines. The father told the paper that these government guidelines are damaging vulnerable families like his.

The family were undergoing therapy with the NHS’s child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) last year when they were told they were being reported to social services for not using their eldest child’s preferred pronouns. The mother told The Daily Record, “We thought it was a safe space for my partner and I to talk about our feelings. We came in one day and they said that they were contacting social services because we weren’t affirming our eldest as he/him”.

The couple had to wait ‘months of pure stress and worry’ before finding out that the social services were not going to pursue a case against them. “I’m not going anywhere near CAMHS again”, said the mother. “I can’t believe what they did to us.”

Saturday 15th April - These Are Not Our Crimes

The official Facebook account for the police force in Bloomington, Illinois, reported the arrest of a suspect on five counts of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault.

The suspect was named as 33-year-old ‘Michelle’ Blessent.

Reporting this incident, local news outlet, 25News Now, described Blessant as a woman in its headline.

Though suspected sexual predator, ‘Michelle’, is obviously a man.

THE DAILY MAIL: A female teacher at an exclusive girls’ school believes she was ‘managed out’ after complaints by gender-indoctrinated kids.

The former teacher at a prestigious £20k per year private girls school told The Daily Mail of problems which began in May 2021. The sixth form's ‘diversity and inclusion’ prefects delivered an assembly for younger pupils about gender identity and preferred pronouns. During this assembly, the 17 and 18-year-old prefects played a video which discussed ‘gender identities’ and described sex as being ‘assigned at birth’.

Less than a week later, the teacher greeted her class by saying “Good afternoon, girls”. The pupils told her that ‘not everybody here identifies as female’. One girl in the class stood up and challenged the teacher to ‘acknowledge’ her preferred pronouns. The teacher replied that if any pupil’s pronouns differed from those which correspond to their sex, their parents would need to be involved.

The following day she arrived to the classroom to discover that the pupils had pointedly written their names and pronouns on the board. One pupil insisted on being referred to as they/them. The girls then held a lunchtime protest against the teacher at which senior staff appeared to take their side.

“Before the end of the week I was in some sort of disciplinary process”, the teacher said. “The head of year was telling me I had to apologise to the girls.” She believes that, as a result of her refusal to capitulate to her pupils’ gender demands, she was ‘managed out’ of the school. The head teacher rejected her application to remain in her post after her one-term contract came to an end.

The pupils involved in the action which apparently cost this teacher her job were in Year 7. The were eleven years old.

Also Today - “Both Sides”

A Belfast pub was the subject of discussion on social media following the Standing For Women event in the city on Sunday.

Robinson’s is a bar on Belfast’s Great Victoria Street. It operates five different venues under the same roof.

Apparently, the Robinson’s bar refused to serve anyone wearing suffrage colours, despite having happily taken their money for the previous few hours.

Video footage circulating on Twitter appears to show a member of Robinson’s staff, reputedly the bar manager, refusing to serve a young woman because she was wearing a pro-women t-shirt.

Far more serious, however, is the allegation that a Robinson’s employee violently assaulted a gay man.

The man involved explained to Dr Julia Long that a member of Robinson’s bar staff headbutted him in the face after he’d asked why the young lady in the ‘TERF t-shirt’ couldn’t be served.

The police are now investigating this incident.

“Both sides”, eh?

THE SCOTTISH SUN: Trans-identified male paedophile, Katie Dolatowski, has escaped jail despite twice breaching his bail conditions this week.

Katie (formerly Lennon) Dolatowski, has made regular appearances on this site over the last few years. In 2018 he filmed a 12-year-old-girl who was using the toilet in a female bathroom at a supermarket in Dunfermline. A month later, he sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl in the women’s toilets at a supermarket in Kirkcaldy. He grabbed the terrified child by the face, forced her into a cubicle and, threatening to stab her if she did not comply, ordered her to take off her clothes.

He pleaded guilty to voyeurism and sexual assault charges and was given a three-year community payback order, placed on the sex offenders register and banned from having any contact with children. In 2019 Dolatowski was back in court on two separate occasions, accused of deleting the internet history on his phone and then of making ‘alarming’ internet searches.

In 2022 it was revealed that Dolatowski had been accommodated in a domestic violence refuge for vulnerable women and children after he tricked the centre’s staff by using a false name and masquerading as an abuse victim.

In November 2022 Dolatowski was sentenced to four months imprisonment. He was originally incarcerated in the male estate at Polmont Young Offenders’ Institution. There he was involved in an incident during which he ‘battered’ another male inmate, apparently over a remark made the previous evening. While the prisoner in question was collecting his food in the lunch queue, Dolatowski attacked him.

Witnesses saw 22-year-old Dolatowski, who is 6 feet 5 inches tall, “Holding (the victim) over a table and punching him to the back of his head”. Warders ‘escorted’ Dolatowski back to a cell and he was subsequently placed on report.

Astoundingly, Dolatowski was then moved to Cornton Vale women’s prison and has subsequently been released from custody altogether. It has now been revealed that, despite twice breaching his bail conditions last week, Dolatowski remains at liberty.

According to his bail conditions, Dolatowski is required to remain at a property in Stirlingshire between 7pm and 7am. Last weekend, however, he was located by officers 150 miles away in Newcastle. He was returned to his bail address. Less than 24 hours later he absconded again and was apprehended 130 miles away in Aberdeen.

In a statement about these breaches, Police Scotland described Dolatowski as ‘a woman’. The force said that they base the “Sex/gender identification of individuals” on “How they present or self-declare”.

Dolatowski appeared in Falkirk Sherriff Court last week. Despite awaiting sentence for other breaches of the sex offenders register notification conditions, he was granted bail and released.

In the past week, The Scottish Sun has published articles which indicate that both of Dolatowski’s parents feel he poses a danger to children and believe he should be incarcerated for the sake of public safety.

Dolatowski is now calling himself Alyanna McKenna and has a Twitter account in that name. Under his new identity, he voiced support for Nicola Sturgeon, backed Humza Yousaf to be her successor and defended the Scottish Prison Service over its placing of rapist ‘Isla Bryson’ in a female prison.

He also expressed his support for Scotland’s gender reform bill. Well OF COURSE he did. This bill is a gift to a convicted sex offender like him who wants to change their name and hide their identity and bypass all the usual safeguarding protocols which protect women and children.

According to Shona Robison MSP, the minister who was responsible for navigating the SNP’s self-ID legislation through parliament, there is no evidence to suggest men will obtain a GRC in order to abuse women. “The threat comes from predatory and abusive men, not trans women”, she said.

Which one is Katie Dolatowski, then?

See you next week.
