A Week in the War on Women: Monday 13th November - Sunday 19th November

Monday 13th November - One For Sorrow

THE TELEGRAPH: A football club has suspended the membership of a female fan over gender critical comments she made on social media.

Last week we reported on a woman who was interviewed under threat of arrest by Northumbria Police over gender critical comments made on social media. The woman, a 34-year-old lesbian who lives in Newcastle, was accused of breaching the Malicious Communications Act after expressing her (perfectly legal) views - that ‘transwomen’ are men and gender diverse children should not be medicalised - on X (Twitter).

It has now been revealed that the woman has had her Newcastle United membership suspended. A lifelong Magpies fan, she was told by NUFC that her account had been ‘temporarily suspended’ while being investigated by Northumbria Police. The club said it was ‘standard practice’ to suspend anyone under police investigation and stated that the woman’s alleged offence ‘contravenes our ground regulations’.

Later in the week, Fair Cop provided further information suggesting that it was the the club who reported the woman to the police. “The Club used its database of personal details to direct the police to our client. There was no lawful reason for this GDPR breach. The offence (sic) had nothing to do with the Club, the ground, or football in general.”

There was yet another astonishing update on this story, as shared by Fair Cop.

The officer who conducted the interview visited the woman’s home overnight and posted a handwritten envelope through her door. The letter contained therein stated there would be no further action taken “Pending further information”. Why on earth was this correspondence hand-delivered by the original officer outside office hours? As Fair Cop say, this isn’t policing, this is stalking.

Tuesday 14th November - So Long, Sisters

REDUXX: Two Kappa Kappa Gamma veterans have been expelled from their sorority after supporting current members who wish to retain a female-only space.

We have written previously about the saga of the Kappa Kappa Gamma (KKG) sorority. In September 2022, the Wyoming KKG sorority allowed entry to trans-identified male, Artemis (formerly Dallin) Langford, who is 6ft 2 inches tall, weighs 260 lbs and claims to be a lesbian.

His inclusion caused considerable concern among many of KKP’s members, one of whom spoke anonymously to the press. She said that chapter leaders had dismissed the concerns of those who felt uncomfortable and that members were pressured into accepting Langford’s inclusion.

Earlier this year six women, current and former sorority members, took legal action against KKG for allowing Langford to join.

Although he didn’t live at the sorority house, which accommodates around 50 young women, Langford was a regular visitor there. The complaint alleged that Langford behaved like a voyeur, watching the sorority girls when they were undressed and undressing, and, on at least one occasion, he was in an obvious state of sexual arousal. It also referenced a slumber party at which Langford allegedly took photographs of the young women without their permission and asked them intimate questions about their bodies and sex lives.

In August, despite hearing testimony that Langford had watched young women undress while sexually aroused etc, Judge Alan Johnson dismissed the case. Langford was permitted to remain a member of the sorority and given permission to move into the supposedly female-only shared house.

Now two University of Wyoming KKG sorority alumnae have had their membership rescinded after 50+ years for supporting the lawsuit.

Patsy Levang and Cheryl Tuck-Smith had been with Kappa Kappa Gamma for over half a century. This week they were expelled from the sorority by its national organisation, effective immediately, over their support for the young women who oppose Langford’s membership. The sorority leadership have accused Levang and Tuck-Smith of using KKG’s contact list for fundraising purposes and of violating the organisation's media policy. Both women strenuously deny these allegations.

In a press release issued by Independent Women’s Forum, Cheryl Tuck-Smith, stated, “I was hurt when I was terminated as a member of KKG, but also disturbed that KKG has become a political tool rather than an organization that promotes women”. Patsy Levang commented, “My heart was saddened when the current six council members voted me out, however, I will not be quiet about the truth”.

Also Today - Is She Or Isn’t he?

The suspect in a series of arson attacks is reported to have committed an armed robbery only hours after being released. Is the coverage of this story concealing the true sex of an allegedly dangerous felon?

This week media outlets were reporting on a story from New York concerning an alleged serial arsonist. Amanda Burnside, accused of attempting to set fire to three houses on Long Island on Sunday 12th November, was charged with one count of second-degree arson and two counts of attempted second-degree arson.

Burnside was released without bail on their own recognizance the following morning. It is alleged that, less than two hours later, Burnside attempted to rob a Dollar Tree store, threatening the cashier with a knife and demanding money from the cash register.

Most media outlets reporting on this story, such as Fox News, News 12, Knewz and The Daily Mail, describe Burnside as ‘a woman’ and use female pronouns throughout their articles.

However, certain outlets have reported that Amanda Burnside is not a woman at all, but a trans-identified male.

This is the trouble with gender identity ideology; it twists news stories, obfuscates the truth and, because we can no longer trust journalists to accurately report the sex of violent men, it makes us constantly suspicious.

Wednesday 15th November - Boxing Clever

REDUXX: A Canadian female boxer withdrew from a championship after discovering that was she was expected to fight a trans-identified male opponent, a fact deliberately concealed from her by organisers.

The 2023 Provincial Golden Glove Championship took place at the end of October, hosted by the Quebec Boxing Federation in collaboration with the KO-96 boxing club. The tournament is intended to give newcomers to the sport a chance to qualify for the Canadian Championship in December.

Competitor Katia Bissonnette withdrew from the tournament only an hour before she was due in the ring when she discovered she was expected to fight a trans-identified male. She explained the circumstances to Reduxx. “I came down from my hotel room to head towards the room where all the boxers were warming up. My coach suddenly took me aside and told me he received information by text message, which he had then validated, that my opponent was not a woman by birth.”

Bissonnette was scheduled to fight a trans-identified called Mya Walmsley, a 27-year-old Masters student at Concordia University. Originally from Australia, Walmsley moved to Canada about two years ago. His records indicate this would have been his first boxing match in the female category.

Radio Canada reported it was on the recommendation of the Canadian Boxing Federation’s recommendation that Bissonnette was not informed of her opponent’s trans status or true sex ahead of the bout. Quebec Boxing Federation President, Ariane Fortin, explained, “They told us not to warn that it could contravene the regulations of Safe Sport, that it could constitute defamation, that it would expose the trans person. So we couldn't warn Katia”.

Concerned for her physical safety, Bissonnette felt compelled to withdraw from the tournament rather than risk getting into the ring with a male. Consequently, Walmsley won the bout by default. His victory, however, did not prevent him from complaining about Bissonnett’s withdrawal in the media. Ironically, he claimed that her decision to prioritise her own safety and refuse the fight had put him at risk. “This kind of behaviour puts athletes at risk of being excluded or receiving personal attacks”, he said. Without a trace of self-awareness, he added that competitors should ‘trust’ each other over their ‘gender identity’.

According to Science Daily, male upper bodies have, on average, 75% more muscle mass and 90% more strength than those in females. Research conducted by the University of Utah in 2020 shows that a male punch has, on average, 163% more impact than a woman’s. Bissonnette was right to be concerned about her safety in the ring against a male opponent and right to withdraw. But she should never have been put in such an unfair and dangerous position in the first place.

Also Today - This Never Happens

REDUXX: A trans-identified male police officer who gives talks to schoolchildren on ‘gender identity’ has posted concerning content to his social media accounts.

Formerly known as Reiner Gyer, 60-year-old Ria Cybill Geyer is a trans-identified male who is a police officer with the Berlin force. Having been married three times and a long-time cross-dresser, Gyer began his ‘transition’ about five years ago when he was in his mid-50s.

In a recent interview with Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung magazine, Geyer talked about ‘coming out’ as trans at his workplace, denigrating as ‘bullies’ the women who objected to him using the female bathroom and toilet facilities. Now a trans activist, Geyer works with the Social Democratic Party’s LGBTQI+ lobby group, SPDqueer, which campaigns for self-ID legislation the medicalisation of dysphoric children.

Geyer also gives talks to and leads LGBTQ workshops with children in German schools. In 2021 he was interviewed by the pupils of Leibniz Gymnasium, a school in Berlin. A recording of the event can be found on the school’s website. Geyer can be heard telling the children about his crossdressing in the years prior to his ‘transition’.

Reduxx has discovered that Geyer has been sharing fetish content to his personal Pinterest board. Some images involve BDSM themes and women in latex and other photographs depict Geyer himself wearing lingerie and high heels etc.

More alarming, however, are the images which depict young boys dressed in women’s underwear and fetish gear. Such images appear to be part of a pornographic subculture known as ‘forced feminization’ in which males are forced into female and/or sexually subordinate roles.

This man is welcomed into German schools to tell impressionable children about his ‘gender identity’.

Thursday 16th November - On Yer Bike

THE TELEGRAPH: British Cycling is allowing males to participate in supposedly female-only community rides while punishing the women who protest.

British Cycling’s ‘Breeze’ programme was set up by and for women. Its events - local community bike rides - were intended to be exclusively female-only. According to British Cycling’s own website, “Breeze is the biggest programme ever to get more women into riding bikes for fun. We’re helping thousands more women feel confident and comfortable about going on a ride”.

However, British Cycling is ‘helping’ women to feel ‘comfortable’ by allowing males to ‘self identify’ into theses events without any challenge. Several organisers, known as ‘Breeze champions’, have spoken to The Telegraph to express their concern.

Not only are males being allowed to participate in supposedly female-only events, women are being censured for challenging this policy.

In a recent online meeting with British Cycling, one ‘Breeze champion’ tried to explain the problem with the presence of males on these bike rides. “A woman who has suffered maybe domestic abuse decides to get life back on track, make some friends, do something new. She signs up to do a ride, only to find that she’s the only biological female on a ride led by a man. How do you tell her that’s acceptable? That her right to feel safe is less important than the champion’s right to lead it? I’d like to know how that’s justified.”

At this point, a British Cycling representative interjected. “I’ll jump in there. We won’t be accepting the terminology around ‘man’, ‘male’.” The woman was subsequently banned from the organisation’s Breeze champions’ Facebook group.

A British Cycling spokesperson told The Telegraph, “With inclusion at its heart, the Breeze programme has always been open to transgender women, and we restated this commitment in our revised transgender and non-binary policy position in May this year. We have been very clear that the deliberate misgendering of individuals is a breach of our code of conduct”.

Friday 17th November - The Sacred Caste

THE TIMES: The Scottish government has drawn up a 50-point action plan to address the ‘needs’ of its ‘trans and non-binary’ population.

The Scottish government has announced a 50-point trans action plan. The document makes a number of promises including a review of i) gender information on identity documents, ii) the impact of ‘LGBT- inclusive’ education in schools and iii) the inclusion of biological sex data in NHS numbers.

Ministers have also promised to commission research into how the operation of Scotland’s public buildings ‘impacts’ Scotland’s ‘trans and non-binary’ population (estimated to be around 24,000). Furthermore, they have vowed that future legislation will not ‘use unnecessarily gendered terminology’ and that paid representatives from the trans population will be consulted on future policy decisions.

Where healthcare is concerned, the Scottish government will fund a ‘lived experience co-ordinator’ to engage with patients who have used or are waiting for NHS gender identity services and it will finance mandatory training for NHS staff on the needs of ‘non-binary’ patients.

In addition, ‘trans and non-binary’ people are to be offered the same access to fertility preservation - such as sperm and egg freezing - as cancer patients. Put bluntly, patients whose fertility has been compromised because they chose to medicate and/or modify their perfectly healthy bodies will be offered the same NHS-funded services as those whose ability to have children has been affected by treatment for life-threatening diseases.

Saturday 18th November - “Both Sides”

THE DAILY MAIL: A trans activist who writes pulp fiction fantasizing about violence against women has praised acts of terrorism.

We have written previously about Gretchen Felker-Martin, a trans identified male and author of tawdry horror and sci-fi fiction.

Gretchen Felker_Martin - IMAGE CREDIT: Reduxx

Last year he released Manhunt, an ‘LGBTQ horror’ which depicts the brutal murders of gender critical feminists by trans-identified males.

The book is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland and involves two trans-identified males hunting down and killing women described as ‘the knights of JK Rowling’ and ‘TERF soldiers’. The ‘Queen TERF’ militant leader is described with a reference to MichFest, the women-only music festival that was shut down by trans activists, and the death of JK Rowling is treated as a subject for entertainment.

Felker-Martin seems obsessed with JK Rowling, especially with ‘shutting her up’.

His novel, Manhunt, features various sexual themes, such as leather-clad ‘TERFs’ being involved in sadomasochism and trans-identified males being ‘daddies’ to the female characters. One of the male protagonists becomes aroused while murdering a ‘TERF’ and there is a particularly disturbing scene towards the end of the book in which a black woman has her womb cut out while being verbally abused.

Felker-Martin frequently writes about sexual violence against women and, by his own admission, has never written anything that doesn’t feature ‘at least one rape scene’.

This week Felker-Martin has made headlines after expressing his support for the 9/11 bombings in which almost 3,000 people were killed and thousands more were seriously injured. In a now deleted comment on X (Twitter), he stated, “Can pretty safely state that bin Laden and I did not, uh, agree on much, but blowing up the World Trade Center is probably the most principled and defensible thing he did”.

He later deleted this comment and apologised for making it. However, other social media users pointed out that this is not the first time Felker-Martin has expressed sympathy for Osama bin Laden and support for the terrorist attacks of 11th September 2001.

This seems to be a common theme this week. Those attending the Let Women Speak event in Leeds reported that the trans activists who had turned out to protest against women’s voices were chanting “From the river to the sea” at those assembled.

Sunday 19th November - Mum’s The Word

THE TELEGRAPH: A maternity hospital has been downgraded in an NHS diversity assessment over its use of the word ‘mother’.

The Cambridge University Hospital Trust manages a maternity hospital called The Rosie. The Telegraph has discovered that this hospital recently received a low grade on a diversity assessment because staff only use the word ‘mother’ when talking about maternity leave. The trust also lost points for not providing staff with guidance on a dress code for trans and ‘non-binary’ employees.

The report was carried out by the NHS ‘Rainbow Badge’ scheme about which we have written previously.

The NHS Rainbow Badge Scheme involves trans lobby groups grading and assessing NHS trusts on their ‘trans inclusivity’. The scheme was originally created in 2018 “To be a way for NHS staff to demonstrate that they are aware of the issues that LGBT+ people can face when accessing healthcare”, mostly by wearing a rainbow badge.

In 2021, the scheme went from a simple bit of badge-wearing to “Incorporating an assessment and accreditation model for NHS Trusts”. To this end, the NHS formed a ‘partnership’, apparently at a cost of £220,000, with a range of LGBTQ+ lobby groups - the LGBT Foundation, Stonewall, LGBT Consortium, Brighton & Hove LGBT Switchboard and GLADD - all vociferous promoters of gender identity ideology.

Now these groups assess and grade the participatory NHS trusts, not only rewarding them for ‘current LGBT inclusion work’ but also providing ‘a comprehensive feedback report and action plan’ if they displease. They will then be expected to facilitate ‘meaningful change’.

The assessments involve trust managers being questioned about their ‘trans inclusive policies’ and the use of gender-neutral language. Trusts lose points for the use of sex-specific language in documentation and policies and on signage. They are also advised to install mixed sex toilets and medics are instructed to ask patients for their preferred pronouns.

There are currently 77 NHS hospital trusts signed up to this ‘Rainbow Badge Scheme’.

Also Today - Leave Them Kids Alone

THE DAILY MAIL: Primary school children are being indoctrinated into gender identity ideology with teachers using materials provided by a trans lobby group.

No Outsiders is a registered charity which describes itself as providing “Inclusive education, promoting community cohesion to prepare young people and adults for life as global citizens”. It supplies materials, lesson plans and ‘guidance’ to schools and libraries throughout the UK. Its founder, Andrew Moffat, is also available to provide training for teachers, address conferences, visit schools and even attend events as an after dinner speaker.

This week the Daily Mail has reported on primary school children being indoctrinated into gender woo by teachers using No Outsiders’ materials which present trans ideology as fact.

The article includes a recording of a teacher at a primary school in St Albans taking a lesson in her class of 10-year-olds. She is reading from a book called Introducing Teddy in which a male teddy bear believes he’s ‘in the wrong body’. He tells his best friend Errol, “In my heart, I've always known that I'm a girl teddy, not a boy teddy. I wish my name was Tilly”.

Transgender Trend raised the alarm about this book when it was first published in 2016 and highlighted its dangerous implication that “Changing sex is just one of the many choices you can make in life and that your ‘real’ sex is how you feel based on gender-stereotypical clothes preferences”.

The book is one of many publications provided to primary schools by No Outsiders as part of its ‘inclusive’ teaching package. In its guide, Andrew Moffat comments, “This teaching must begin in primary schools. We are all intersectional; one identity does not suffice to make up who we are. Children must be encouraged, and indeed taught, to explore identity and develop confidence in who they are as they navigate childhood and adolescence”.

We have reported previously on No Outsiders. In 2020 the group misrepresented the Equality Act 2010 on the material it produced for schools.

Andrew Moffat tweeted a picture of a poster ‘designed for classrooms’ which was available for purchase from the No Outsiders website. According to Moffat, the poster referenced “All protected characteristics in the Equality Act 2010”.

Just one small problem, the poster was wrong. It listed GENDER as one of the protected characteristics where it should have said SEX. The Equality Act 2010 lists the characteristics 'Gender reassignment' and 'Sex'. There is no mention of 'Gender'.

When people pointed out this glaring and hugely misleading error to Andrew Moffat on X (Twitter)…

…They were immediately blocked.

Transgender Trend describe the influence of this organisation in our schools as a safeguarding fail. “No Outsiders seems to be one man's crusade to indoctrinate children into 'gender identity' beliefs and teach children not to question who anyone says they are”.

See you next week.
