A Week in the War on Women: Monday 30th October - Sunday 5th November
Monday 30th October - “Both Sides”
EL UNIVERSAL: Trans activists broke into and destroyed a cinema screen at Mexico City’s prestigious National Cinematheque.
In September we reported that trans activists had vandalised and looted an important Mexican cultural venue.
The National Cinematheque in Mexico City is a venue of tremendous cultural and historic significance dedicated to the collation, archiving and exhibition of both Mexican and world cinema.
In September a trans-identified male who calls himself Laura Glover had to be removed from the women’s toilets there. He subsequently complained to one of the venue’s staff members. When referred to as ‘sir’ by the employee, he raged that the man had ‘invalidated’ his ‘gender identity’. Glover then went on to confront a male security guard, shouting and gesticulating aggressively.
After shouting at the security guard, Glover screamed “Where is that bitch?” and strode away in pursuit of the female guard who had ejected him from the women’s toilet.
A recording of this incident was uploaded to the internet. Towards the end, Glover can be seen verbally attacking the female guard, shouting misogynistic insults and trailing her along the entrance path as she attempts to keep her distance from him.
Within hours of this recording appearing on social media, the Cinematheque issued a statement apologizing to Glover and promising the ‘re-education’ of employees. The venue said it would send staff to “Training, awareness and professionalization courses on human rights, the right to non-discrimination and the right to equality”. According to Animal Politico, the security guards involved lost their jobs.
Nevertheless, Glover was still not satisfied and, in addition to demanding the resignation of the venue’s managing director, Alejandro Pelayo, he organised a mass protest of trans activists at the Cinematheque on 16th September.
Excélsior, reported that around “500 members of the trans and non-binary community, as well as LGBT+ dissidents” were in attendance. It also wrote that Glover used a loudspeaker to call the Cinematheque ‘transphobic’ and to encourage the assembled mob to ransack and steal from the Cinematheque’s concession stand. According to Proceso, a group of trans-identified males, including Glover himself, tried to ‘take’ the candy concession and stole its merchandise. Reduxx shared a video of Glover leading the looting and vandalism in the store.
Meanwhile, outside the venue, trans activists vandalized exterior screens and walls, spray painting slogans such as “Let us shit, Cineteca NaZional” on them.
This week it was reported that, yet again, Laura Glover and his mob of trans activists ransacked and vandalised the National Cinematheque. On 26th October Glover and his acolytes descended on the venue during the opening of its international ‘Transfeminist Film Festival’, an event organised by a group called The Women On Board Collective. Glover and his mob barged into the National Cinematheque and confronted its staff then stood in front of the screen to yell their slogans.
Holding court whilst standing on a chair, Glover complained that the reparations made previously (ie a full apology, staff losing their jobs and the promise of ‘trans awareness training’ for all personnel) over the incident in September were not adequate. He demanded a work space in the cinema library for himself and other trans activists, that the National Cinematheque be ‘sanctioned’ and for legislation meaning that every company has to “Train its staff to have respect and awareness of trans people, and thus prevent this from happening again”.
His supporters then tore down and destroyed the cinema screen behind him.
“Both sides”, eh?

BBC NEWS: A trans-identified male rapist has been sentenced to just three years in prison and will be permitted to continue his medical ‘transition’.
In July of this year, trans-identified male, Freddie Christian Trenchard, was found guilty of raping a young girl on the island of Guernsey during the summer of 2021.
Guernsey’s Royal Court heard that Trenchard had invited the victim to his home where he forced himself on her. The victim told the court that she was crying throughout the rape and told Trenchard “No” numerous times. Trenchard denied that he assaulted the young woman, claiming that her allegations against him were motivated by transphobia. The victim rigorously denied these allegations. The jury clearly did not believe Trenchard’s claim and a unanimous verdict found him guilty.
According to his social media accounts, Trenchard began ‘identifying as a woman’ in 2020 and calls himself Alyssa Christine. In a recent video Trenchard posted on TikTok, he says he is ‘turned on’ when he is called ‘miss’, the term by which he insisted on being addressed in court.
Guernsey Police confirmed that Trenchard was recorded as female at the time of his arrest, in accordance with his ‘gender identity’.
Jane Roper, a representative of Guernsey Women’s Rights Network (GWRN), attended the trial. She told Reduxx that in court Trenchard was described as a ‘transgender female’ and referred to with female pronouns. The honorific ‘miss’ was used for him, even when the rape was being described. Ms Roper reported that statements such as “Miss Trenchard then penetrated [the complainant] with her penis” were made in court.
This week, Trenchard was sentenced to three years imprisonment. The prosecution has confirmed that they will be appealing the sentence on the grounds that it is ‘unduly lenient’.
The court has specified that Trenchard can continue to receive cross-sex hormone treatment and keep his appointments at a London gender clinic.
Also Today - Etsy ‘Prohibits’ Feminism
Etsy removed a feminist t-shirt from sale after complaints from trans activists because profits from its sale were to be donated to the LGB Alliance.
Gary Luncheonmeat, known on X as @3ScotchEggs, is a feminist ally and purveyor of fine t-shirts. Earlier this week he added a new t-shirt to his range on Etsy. Designed by a feminist called Kassia (@FemaleInTheWild), it features the female symbol combined with the raised fist of solidarity in the colours of the Suffrage movement. As per the advertising, £5 from each sale was to be donated to the LGB Alliance.
Of course, within hours of the t-shirt going on sale, trans activists were complaining to Etsy, smearing Gary as ‘anti-trans’ and libelling the LGB Alliance - a UK registered charity - as a ‘hate group’.
Etsy removed the t-shirt from sale.
Gary received this message:
Apparently, the t-shirt - which depicts a feminist symbol in suffragette colours - is not ‘in line’ with Etsy’s ‘Prohibited Items Policy’.
The following items do not appear to breach Etsy’s ‘Prohibited Items Policy’ and are all currently on sale on its website:
A ‘DEFEND EQUALITY’ enamel badge displaying the ‘trans pride’ flag overlaid with the image of an assault riffle.
A ‘DEFEND TRANS FOLK’ sticker displaying the slogan together with a baseball bat, a meat cleaver and an axe.
A ‘RESPECT PRONOUNS’ sticker which includes the image of a knife and the slogan “Or I will identify as a problem”.
A ‘FIGHT TERFS’ enamel pin.
A ‘TERFS FUCK OFF’ fridge magnet.
A ‘FUCK TERFS’ mug.
An ‘I PUNCH TERFS’ sticker.
A ‘STFU TERF’ sticker which features a trans cartoon character pointing a gun.
Violence against women, it seems, is okay with Etsy.
(The feminist t-shirt - with £5 from every sale still going to charity - is still available and can be purchased from Gary’s other online outlet; please see this link.)
Tuesday 31st October - The Mother Of All Insults
THE DAILY MAIL: Somerset Council is erasing the words ‘woman’ and ‘mother’ from its maternity guidance to be inclusive of ‘transgender people’.
Somerset Council has produced a document called The New and Expected Parents Policy, a guide relating to pregnancy and maternity which outlines the council's responsibilities to new and expectant mothers. It uses the word ‘parent’ 16 times but does not mention the word ‘mother’ at all.
It states, “This policy and associated guidance apply to all employees who are pregnant, who have given birth in the last 6 months, and those breastfeeding, this includes transgender and non-binary people. Therefore, to ensure the document is inclusive, ‘new and expectant parents’ is the term used to describe all relevant employees.”
The section on breastfeeding, for example, refers to the council's duty to “Provide a place for pregnant and breastfeeding parents to rest or where practicable provide a private room for nursing parents to express and store breast milk”.
Claire Loneragan from the Women's Rights Network told The Daily Mail, “It is not inclusive to remove the words mother and woman from a policy that relates entirely to pregnancy, breastfeeding and the challenges that new and expectant mothers face. It writes women out of our own life experiences”.
Wednesday 1st November - Under His Aye
UNHERD: A Scottish Court has ruled that a male with the appropriate documentation can be legally female for the purposes of the Equality Act 2010.
For several years, For Women Scotland (FWS) have been fighting a legal battle to prevent the Scottish Government from redefining the word ‘woman’ to include males.
In December 2022 Lady Haldane ruled that the protected characteristic of ‘sex’ in the Equality Act 2010 refers to a person’s sex as recognised in law rather than their biological sex, meaning that a trans-identified male with a gender recognition certificate (GRS) is legally female. FWS appealed this decision.
On Wednesday 1st November, Lady Dorrian delivered the judgement of the Inner House of the Court of Session in the appeal of For Women Scotland v the Scottish Ministers. FWS lost their vase, meaning that women’s protections under law can now include trans-identified males who have obtained the necessary bit of paper.
“A person with a GRC in the female gender comes within the definition of “woman” for the purposes of section 11 of the Equality Act, and the guidance issued [by the Scottish Government] in respect of the 2018 Act [ Gender Representation on Public Boards (Scotland)] is lawful.”
Of course, the implications for women are huge. As Dr Michael Foran writes in Unherd, “Trans women who have GRCs will be classed as women... They will have a presumptive right to use the services intended for the opposite sex because they are now legally classed as members of that group… The result of this case means that women-only associations, including groups organised for grassroots political advocacy or women’s support networks for victims of male violence will not be allowed to exclude males who have GRCs stating that they are women if that is why they are excluded”.
Lesbians and gay men - and their freedom of association - will be similarly affected. According to this week’s judgement, “There is no such thing as being ‘legally lesbian’”.
Now, a heterosexual man will be deemed to have changed his sexual orientation and become a lesbian if he has a GRC. (This is the case even if he is a fully intact; there is no surgery requirement for obtaining a GRC.)
Barrister and gay rights campaigner, Dennis Kavanagh, pointed out, “We've just lost the right in law to have lesbian/gay only associations. When they say "you're trying to make my rights away", they mean the precise opposite. Gay/lesbian groups must now admit as members GRC holders of the opposite sex. Our freedom of association is compromised”.
Michael Foran makes the stark observation, “This case clarifies that a GRC is unequivocally not a mere administrative document”. Sex as a protected characteristic is worthless and same-sex attraction as an orientation has no meaning.

Glamour magazine has named a trans-identified male fashion model as one of its 2023 Women of the Year.
As a teenager growing up in the Philippines, Geena Rocero participated in various beauty pageants for girls as well as for gay men and drag queens. Speaking to Interview earlier this year, he described being introduced to such events after meeting an older trans-identified male known as ‘Tigerlily’ whom he refers to as his ‘trans mother’. Rocero was fifteen years old and wearing his school uniform when he first met ‘Tigerlily’ who encouraged him to try on a bikini.
Rocero went on to win numerous beauty pageant titles in his teens. In 2000, when he was still only sixteen years old, Rocero won a competition for gay men in drag and was named ‘Ms Gay Universe 2000’. He was already taking cross-sex hormones at this time and, two years later, having relocated to the USA, he underwent ‘sex reassignment’ surgery aged just nineteen. Living in NYC, he began a career as a lingerie model which he has described as the ‘ultimate validation’ of his ‘femininity’.
In August 2019, Rocero was Playboy’s ‘Playmate of the Month’ in the publication’s special ‘Gender and Sexuality’ issue.
Rocero advocates for the medicalisation of gender distressed children. At one time he was the Executive Producer of an online broadcast called ‘Beautiful As I Want To Be’ which paired up gender confused youngsters with adult trans ‘mentors’.
In 2015 he appeared on television alongside Dr Michelle Forcier, a clinician at Hasbro Children’s Hospital Gender Clinic in Rhode Island. (Dr Forcier is one of the doctors against whom 20-year-old detransitioner, Isabelle Ayala, is currently pusuing legal action, believing them to be responsible for pushing her into irreversible medical interventions when she was just a child.) On this TV programme Rocero expressed his opinion that parents should support self-determining ‘transgender children’ - even those as young as four - and help them to ‘transition’ medically.
A man who performs harmful stereotypes of femininity and advocates for the medicalisation of dysphoric children is a Glamour 2023 ‘Woman of the Year’.
Thursday 2nd November - I Can’t Believe It’s Not Satire
THE TIMES: Scottish Green MSPs are throwing a tantrum over the location of Ash Regan’s new office in the Scottish Parliament building.
You will remember that last year, courageous Ash Regan, MSP for Edinburgh East, resigned her SNP ministerial post rather than have to vote for the Gender Recognition Reform Bill. Last week she left the SNP and defected to the Alba Party.
This week it has been reported that Scottish Green MSPs are complaining because Ash Regan may now be accommodated in an office near their section of the Scottish parliament. When she was with the SNP, Regan was had an office on a different floor in the building. Now an Alba member, however, she may be moving to an office in a ground floor area which currently houses Scottish Green and Scottish Liberal Democrat MSPs.
Apparently, Regan has been seen walking along a corridor (oh the horror!) on the ground floor of the building and she was presumed to be seeking out a new office space. This is said to have ‘infuriated’ Scottish Greens. The party is understood to have approached the Presiding Officer, Alison Johnstone, with ‘safeguarding concerns’ for their transgender staff.
The Scottish Greens expect women to share toilets, bathrooms, changing rooms, prisons, domestic violence refuges and rape crisis centres with trans-identified males but, apparently, they have a fit of the vapours if a trans-identified male is expected to occupy an office on the same floor as a woman who understands reality.
Friday 3rd November - The Truth, The Whole Truth…?
THE AUSTRALIAN: South Australia has joined two other states in endorsing the use of ‘preferred pronouns’ in a court of law.
Earlier this year Victoria and Queensland issued edicts that courts are to refer to all parties by their ‘preferred pronouns’. Now South Australia becomes the latest state to endorse lying in court and has issued a policy stating that parties should be addressed by their chosen pronouns, ironically claiming that this practice is integral to “Ensuring public confidence in the proper administration on justice”.
SA Chief Justice Chris Kourakis released a practice note this week to provide ‘guidance and clarification’ for legal practitioners. It states that prior to a hearing a practitioner may provide the court with the ‘preferred gender pronouns’ of themselves or any other party to a case. Consequently, witnesses may be compelled to lie under oath. Furthermore, this policy could easily mean that a victim of male violence and/or male sexual violence could be forced to refer to their attacker as ‘she’ and be forced to hear legal professionals doing so.
What has happened to “Nothing but the truth”?

TV Choice magazine has nominated a trans-identified male in the ‘Best Actress’ category of it 2024 television awards.
Yasmin Finney is a trans-identified male actor who plays a character called Elle in the Netflix series, Heartstopper. In an interview with Revamp Magazine in April 2022, Finney commented on this role, “Too many times we see cis people playing trans roles and taking away the opportunity and credit”.
Finney just been nominated for a TV Choice best actress award, meaning that a woman will be robbed of ‘the opportunity and credit’ of an accolade supposedly intended for female actors.
Saturday 4th November - A Kick In The Teeth
NEWSWEEK: A male player competing on a high school girls’ hockey team has seriously injured a female player, knocking out her teeth.
Sawyer Groothuis is a male who plays on the female field hockey team at Swampscott High School in Massachusetts. He is a 4-year varsity player and co-captain of the team and his success playing on a female squad has earned him a Northeastern Conference All-Star honour.
Some sources have suggested that Groothuis claims a trans identity while most reports maintain that he is a young man taking advantage of decades-old legislation which allows him to compete in female sport. Massachusetts schools must comply with the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) which was applied to student athletics in 1979. It states that “A girl may play on a boys’ team if that sport is not offered in the school for the girl, and a boy may play on a girls’ team if that sport is not offered in the school for the boy.” Because his high school does not have a boys’ field hockey team, Groothuis must be permitted to play on the Swampscott girls’ squad.
This week Sawyer Groothuis competed on Swampscott’s hockey team against Dighton-Rehoboth in a state playoff. He scored the only two goals of the match and, horrifyingly, he seriously injured an opposition player, knocking out her teeth.
Footage of the game posted on the Swampscott Big Blue Athletics YouTube channel shows (from 57:40:00) Groothuis taking a shot at the net. He whacks the ball in an upward trajectory and it hits opposition player No 24 in the face. Moments later No 24 slumps to the floor and can clearly be heard screaming in pain.
Bill Runey, the superintendent of Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School, told The Sun Chronicle that the female player struck by the ball “Sustained significant facial and dental injuries”. It has been reported that she had to be hospitalised.
Runey went on to comment on the dangers and unfairness of allowing males to play in female sports. “Seeing the horror in the eyes of our players and coaches upon greeting their bus last night is evidence to me that there has to be a renewed approach by the MIAA to protect the safety of our athletes.”
After the game, Swampsott’s win was being celebrated in the local media. Groothuis was much applauded in this Item Live article. His causing serious injuries to one of the opposition players was not mentioned.
Women’s rights campaigner, Kaeley Triller, posted a photograph of Groothuis on the hockey field with two female players and asked “Do you see what I see?”. Amusingly (though rather predictably), some gender zealots responded to her pretending they see only three women, demonstrating a slavish adherence to their rhetoric, not realising, of course, that Groothuis doesn’t identify as trans.
That Groothuis does not claim a trans identity is of little significance. This horrifying story demonstrates all too clearly how dangerous it is to allow males, however they identify, to compete in female sports.
Sunday 5th November - “It Doesn’t Matter, Actually”
THE DAILY MAIL: A trans activist who thinks femicide ‘doesn’t matter’ is devising guidelines for British therapists.
58-year-old Sophie Grace Chappell (formerly known as Timothy David John Chappell) is a trans activist who began ‘identifying as a woman’ in 2014 when he was already pushing fifty. He has fathered four children and is a Philosophy professor at the Open University.
He is currently one of a core team revising the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy’s (BACP) national ethical framework.
In September 2021, Chappell appeared on BBC Radio Scotland’s morning programme to discuss the Scottish government’s proposed GRA reforms and self ID legislation.
From the off, he dismissed women’s safety concerns as ‘fearmongering’. He said, “On this particular issue of safety concerns raised when gender recognition acts are introduced, so a lot of this looks much more to me like anecdotes than data. It’s not like there’s a body of hard evidence that lots and lots of stuff is happening which is really bad. There’s the odd anecdote.” (The odd anecdote? This site alone has documented 168 examples of trans-identified males predating on women and children.)
Chappell then drew an analogy between a trans-identified male requiring certification to be legally recognized as the opposite sex and a gay person requiring certification to be legally recognized as a gay person (a false equivalence, of course).
“Suppose people were saying ‘Well you know if you make it easier for gay people to be themselves in society there’s going to be a crime wave or dreadful homosexual murders are going to happen, it’s going to be awful if we do that’, I think we’d rightly dismiss that as scaremongering and we’d say ‘No it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter’. It wouldn’t matter, actually, if there was a slight spike in those statistics.”
In the UK the number of women murdered by males is already approximately 2-3 per week. Chappell believes that an increase in that number is an acceptable outcome of self-ID legislation.
“It wouldn’t matter, actually.” He said the quiet part loud.
See you next week.
Seriously, how does no-one notice that these TIMs are either dressed like street-walkers or little girls? Not one picture from this week's roundup has a TIM dressed like a normal, everyday woman. It's beyond me why none of these liberals can see the fetish right in front of their eyes.
It's difficult to argue that we don't live under a patriarchal system of oppression when the rights and saftey of women are thrown under the bus to accomodate the feelings a a small percentage of delusional men.
