A Week in the War on Women: Monday 6th December - Sunday 12th December
Monday 6th December - This Never Happens
TELEFE SANTA FE: One of Europol’s ‘most wanted’ criminals, a trans-identified male who trafficked and prostituted women, has been arrested in Germany.
Leudis Isaac Corro Camacho is a trans-identified male from Venezuela whose cruelty earned him the nickname ‘la Diabla’ (the devil).
Operating in several Spanish cities, Corro Camacho recruited vulnerable women from his native Venezuela, promising them a new life and employment in Spain. When they arrived, they were forced to undergo various cosmetic procedures such as breast augmentation and liposuction. They were then deemed to owe him the cost of their surgery and were forced into prostitution to pay off their debts.
Together with his accomplice/boyfriend, Corro Camacho went into hiding when police began investigating his criminal activities. He was arrested in Hamburg last week and has been charged with trafficking, money laundering and belonging to a criminal organization.
Tuesday 7th December - Even a List of Women Isn’t Just For Women
Yet again, this year’s BBC 100 Women list includes males.
In 2013 the BBC pledged to better represent women in its international news output and launched the 100 Women List. But this initiative was made a mockery only a year later when the list included drag character, Conchita Wurst, the onstage persona of an Austrian man called Thomas Neuwirth.
In 2016 the BBC 100 Women list included trans-identified male, Seyan Arman, a DJ and entertainer from Turkey. In 2018 it featured trans-identified male, Ophelia Pastrana, “An outspoken transgender media personality” from Columbia. In 2019 it included trans-identified male, Nisha Ayub, a transgender rights campaigner from Malaysia. Last year’s list included a trans-identified male model, Lea T.
The BBC just can’t help itself and this year its 100 Women List includes two trans identified males. They are Alba Rueda, a trans activist and politician from Argentina, and Iman Le Claire, a performer and activist originally from Egypt now living in NCY.
Wednesday 8th December - This Never Happens #2
LANCASHIRE LIVE: A trans-identified male who confessed to abusing two children has been sentenced.
Patrick McCann was released from prison in 2012 after serving a sentence for sexual offences against children. In May of this year he confessed to raping a 10 year old child and sexually abusing another child over a decade ago.
In Preston Crown Court this week he pleaded guilty to the rape of a child under 13 and six counts of sexual activity with a child. In passing sentence, Judge Robert Altham said McCann poses a ‘significant, ongoing danger to children’ and spoke of his ‘sophisticated and criminal grooming’.
McCann claims to ‘identify as a woman’ and calls himself Laura.
Kudos to Lancashire Live for reporting on this case using male pronouns and McCann’s real name.
This ridiculous Australian news outlet could take a leaf out of their book.
Reporting on a trans-identified male predator who has already served time for sexually abusing a six-year-old girl, this article not only uses she/her pronouns throughout, it describes the perpetrator as both ‘a woman’ and ‘female’.
He’s a dangerous predator who stalked, assaulted and tried to rape a young woman. But this shower feel the need to respect his pronouns.
Thursday 9th December - Danse Macabre
THE TIMES: Following accusations of ‘transphobia’, choreographer, Rosie Kay, has been forced to resign from the dance company which she founded.
Rosie Kay started her own dance company in 2004 and, as the company’s success grew, she decided to seek charitable status for it. This meant effectively handing control of the company to trustees but she believed she could trust those appointed to the board.
Last year Kay was commissioned to create a production of Romeo & Juliet for the Birmingham Hippodrome. The cast she employed were young, aged between 22 and 27, and, despite auditioning for roles corresponding to their biological sex, two of the dancers identified as non-binary.
During rehearsals, Kay held a party for the cast at her home. During the course of the evening she mentioned her forthcoming project based on Virginia Wolf’s Orlando and this led to a conversation about sex and gender. Kay asked the dancers about being ‘non-binary’ and expressed her views about the importance of single-sex spaces.
Four of the dancers, including the pair who claim to be ‘non-binary’, complained about Kay to the company’s trustees, making various allegations about her. Kay wrote a letter of apology to the dancers and agreed to future ‘gender training’. But this clearly wasn’t good enough and there followed a four-month period of ‘investigation’. The trustees contacted the Arts Council and the Charity Commission telling them that Kay was under investigation for transphobia. They then hired a lawyer and demanded that Kay be investigated by an external HR consultant.
Kay felt she had no choice but to resign from the company which bears her name. She is now raising funds with a view to taking legal action.
“My work since starting out in 1998 has centred the female experience… I must to be able to speak my truth as an artist and centre the female experience in everything I do without fear.”
Following Kay’s resignation, the dancers who made the original complaints against her had the breath-taking gall to write an open letter complaining that she is now talking openly about her experience and claiming this could harm their careers.
They claim that Kay abused her ‘power’ as their boss. By inviting them to her home, offering them her hospitality, providing them with food and wine and then, during an informal conversation in her own house, expressing a (factual and legally protected) belief in the reality of biological sex.
Friday 10th December - Land Of The Wrong Woke Crowd
THE GUARDIAN: New Zealand’s government has voted unanimously for self ID.
New Zealand has just passed new legislation allowing people to legally change their sex based purely on self-declaration. While self-identification on birth certificates was introduced in 2018, proof of medical treatment had to be presented before any alterations could be made.
New Zealand’s Births, Deaths, Marriages and Relationship Registration Bill was passed unanimously on Thursday and now any man can legally be a woman just by saying he is one. Ralf Little is delighted at this exciting news for his fellow males.
(From Graham: “I sincerely hope I’m not wrong.” Thanks for your work on Ladykillers, Ralph, but you’ve already been proved wrong. Several times. Never mind, though, eh? It’s only women who have to suffer as a result.)
Also Today - I Can’t Believe It’s Not Satire
THE TELEGRAPH: A leading theatrical website is now embracing gender woo with a new set of award categories.
Hot on the heels of the Brit Awards going ‘gender neutral’, organisers of the Whatsonstage Awards have announced that the best actor and actress categories have been replaced with the absurd ‘performer in a male or female-identifying role’. The new terminology also applies to supporting roles and to musicals as well as plays.

PENN LIVE: A former college student has been deemed a sexually violent predator by the court after filming dozens of women using the bathroom.
25-year-old Joshua Yannuzzi used hidden mobile phones to secretly film up to 90 women in ‘gender-neutral’ bathrooms.
At his trial Yannuzzi pleaded guilty to several different crimes but then subsequently tried to challenge his sexually violent predator designation, the category applied for life to the most dangerous and habitual sex offenders.
His legal action was unsuccessful and the state court judge upheld the original county judge’s decision that, Yannuzzi is a sexually violent predator who is likely to commit more crimes if not closely supervised.
But, remember, if you feel like someone is using the ‘wrong’ bathroom, please respect their identity and don’t make them feel uncomfortable.
Saturday 11th December - The Not So Open University
Professor Jo Phoenix is adding constructive dismissal to her claim against The Open University.
Last week we reported on Professor Phoenix resigning from her role as Professor of Criminology at the Open University.
She is now bringing a claim of constructive dismissal against the university due to its failure to protect her from the sustained campaign of bullying and harassment she suffered over her ‘gender critical’ views.
“I have been publicly vilified by hundreds of my colleagues in a targeted campaign against members of the Gender Critical Research Network; I have been called transphobic; I have twice been compared to a racist by managers; and I have been silenced and shunned within my department. I have been made to feel like a pariah and have become very ill as a result…
We desperately need to show that this type of treatment is unlawful harassment relating to protected gender critical beliefs. These issues of sex and gender are so important, and we need to be able to talk about and research them without fear of being hounded out of our jobs.”
If you are able to contribute to Professor Phoenix’s legal fees, you can do so here.
Sunday 12th December - Fox In The Henhouse
MAIL ON SUNDAY: A six foot bearded male was granted access to the female changing rooms in a variety of retailers by claiming to ‘identify as a woman’.
The Mail on Sunday contacted 25 leading high street stores to ask what their policy is regarding single-sex changing rooms. Several shops, including Primark and Urban Outfitters, operate mixed sex facilities in which men and women change side by side in individual cubicles. Marks and Spencer, H&M and John Lewis replied that their customers can choose a fitting room based on their self-declared ‘identity’.
If stores failed to respond to the paper’s enquiry, reporter, Max Aichison, conducted an experiment to see how easily he could access the women’s changing rooms in their branches. He approached staff to ask permission to use the women’s facilities, claiming to ‘identify as female’. He was waved straight into the ladies’ almost everywhere he went. (Unlike so many other males demanding access to women’s spaces, Aichison never actually crossed the threshold.)
Even the Harrods concession of the lingerie brand, Agent Provocateur, gave Aichison permission to use the women’s changing rooms. After checking with her supervisor, the staff member he spoke to told him, “We are happy to do it but we would recommend normally that you go to one of our boutiques instead, they’re just a bit more used to it and there’s a lot more privacy because our fitting rooms are just quite open here”.
A bearded man in a suit was given permission to use the ‘quite open’ female changing rooms in a store that sells ladies’ underwear. What a time to be alive.
Also Today - These Are Not Our Crimes
THE TIMES: Rapists in Scotland will be recorded as female, even without a GRC, if that’s how they claim to identify.
Police Scotland are prepared to record rapists and rape suspects as female if that’s how they ‘identify’, even if they are legally still male.
In correspondence seen by The Scottish Sun, former Holyrood Justice Secretary, Kenny MacAskill, asked the force how it intends to deal with recording sexual assaults once the proposed gender self-ID legislation is passed.
Assistant Chief Constable Gary Ritchie described several situations in which a rapist could be recorded as female, including, “Where a person, born male but who identifies as a female and does not have a full gender recognition certificate and then commits rape”.
Detective Superintendent Fil Capaldi said, “The sex/gender identification of individuals who come into contact with the police will be based on how they present or how they self-declare... Police Scotland requires no evidence or certification as proof of biological sex or gender identity other than a person’s self-declaration.”
Under The Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009, rape is defined as someone intentionally or recklessly penetrating another person's vagina, anus or mouth with a penis without their consent. The crime requires male genitalia. Yet perpetrators will be able to pretend they’re women and the Scottish authorities will pretend to believe them.
See you next week.
Great and as per depressing round up JL! re Rosie - she made the classic mistake of apologising which of course was never going to be the end of it - I wish women stopped apologising and just prepared to fight the pathetic wankers as it always ends up the same way..
So New Zealand went for Self-ID, huh? Can't imagine what could possibly go wrong with this, except everything.
