Monday 5th September - Captured By Stonewall #1
THE TIMES: Stonewall’s influence has been implicated in the erasing of Swansea University’s feminist society.
Last week, we reported that the feminist society at Swansea University has been ‘purged by trans activists’. The society fell foul of gender zealots, not only for being strictly female-only and speaking out about women’s sex-based rights, but also for recommending Helen Joyce’s book and supporting Professor Kathleen Stock.
There was ‘a frenzied backlash’ involving allegations of ‘transphobia’. The society’s Instagram account was inundated with abusive comments and the society’s leader was pressured to step down.
The Student Union launched an investigation into this alleged ‘transphobia’ and, almost a year later, that investigation remains ‘ongoing’. Over the summer vacation the feminist society’s profile page was surreptitiously removed from the SU’s website and its email account was deleted.
When the society elected its committee for the forthcoming academic year, it was instructed that it must ‘re-conduct’ the election on a date to be decided by the Students’ Union. Then, without releasing the results, the union claimed that the election had ‘failed’. Outgoing society president, Abby Claron, believes this was an excuse to ban the group because it does not adhere to gender ideology.
The society’s future remains uncertain.
The Times has reported that there is a feeling among university staff that the sabotaging of the feminist society was due to Stonewall’s influence. A member of staff spoke to the paper on the understanding of anonymity. “The university has effectively told women to shut up… A lot of staff members have been quietly whispering among themselves about how we have been captured by Stonewall.”
This year Swansea University increased its ranking from 47th to 26th in The Stonewall Top 100 Employers list. It’s the university’s highest ranking to date.
Tuesday 6th September - The Right Side Of History
MAIL ONLINE: Trans activists have threatened to sabotage a women’s free speech event ‘by any means’.
Women’s rights campaigner, Kellie-Jay Keen (aka Posie Parker), is organising a Let Women Speak event in Brighton on Sunday 18th September.
Sussex Police are investigating threats of violence made by trans rights activists against Kellie-Jay and the Brighton event following ‘a number of menacing messages’.
One of the threats was made by an account called ‘Reclaim Pride Brighton’. It tweeted the below missive, replete with the usual hyperbolic and groundless accusations of Kellie-Jay being in league with ‘eliminationists and fascists’.
The tweet insists “We won’t let this happen!”. (‘This’ being women gathering to talk about the issues which affect them.) It instructs agitators to “Cover your face” and to “Bring flags and noisemakers (to drown them out)”.
This is how Reclaim Pride responded to the death of the Queen Elizabeth II.
We have reported frequently on the tactics of trans activism to prevent women from meeting and from speaking. There are innumerable examples of the aggression, threats and intimidation meted out to those who dare to challenge the rhetoric. Now the gender zealots aren’t even trying to conceal their violent intent; “Fight Posie Parker by any means you see fit”.
They impose their political dogma using intimidation, violence and the forcible suppression of any opposition and still have the gall to call other people fascists?
(If you’re interested in attending the Let Women Speak event in Brighton on 18th September, see this link for more information.)
Trans activists are also planning to sabotage Saturday’s Lesbian Strength march in Leeds. Lesbians saying ‘No’ to males is now deemed ‘transphobic hate’.
And this is what happened when women’s rights campaigners held a ‘Speakers’ Corner’ event in Pittsburgh; trans activists, mostly male, masked and aggressive, tried to drown out the speakers and intimidate the attendees.
Wednesday 7th September - These Are Not Our Crimes #1
ABC NEWS: An Australian man facing 72 charges relating to child sexual assault is now claiming a transgender identity and has been granted bail.
An unnamed 27-year-old male from Sydney is facing 72 charges including incest, assault, choking, sexual assault and acts of indecency. He is pleading not guilty.
The prosecution told the children’s court in Canberra that two young girls, aged between 5 and 12, were assaulted over a seven period until 2013. It is alleged that the defendant choked the girls, held one child’s head under water and threatened to harm the family pets to intimidate the victims into silence. The court also heard that the abuse only stopped after it was discovered by the girls’ father who confronted the defendant and removed him from the family home.
On the subject of bail, the prosecution asserted there was a risk that the defendant would try to contact or intimidate the victims and interfere with evidence. However, Magistrate Jane Campbell did not agree. She also felt that the defendant’s trans identity meant he should not be held at Canberra Prison. “To my grand astonishment I am told she would be held in the male section of the AMC and that would clearly not be in the interests of a person who identifies as a woman”, she said.
In court the defendant was referred to with female pronouns. He is also given female pronouns and described as a woman in this ABC article. What an intolerably cruel insult to his alleged victims.
The case will be heard in November.
Thursday 8th September - These Are Not Our Crimes #2
THE DAILY MAIL: A trans-identified male sex offender who abused seven children has been accommodated in a female prison.
58-year-old Sally (formerly John Stephen) Dixon has been found guilty of 30 child sexual abuse offences including indecent assault and indecency with a child. He abused seven different children, five girls and two boys, between 1989 and 1996. The youngest of his victims was only seven years old.
At the time of the abuse, Dixon lived in Crawley and Bexhill where, in addition to repairing TVs, he worked as a DJ in bars and clubs and at a local caravan park. The court heard that he abused the children at a lock-up garage and in a caravan on the south coast.
Detective Constable Amy Pooley of the Sussex Police Complex Abuse Unit explained that it was only in 2019, when one of Dixon’s victims found the courage to approach the authorities, his ‘terrible and distressing’ crimes were uncovered. She told the court, “Dixon came to know these vulnerable young children successively through family connections, and used that trusted access to systematically abuse each of them for sexual gratification, in some cases for several months at a time”.
Prosecuting, Ryan Richter, described Dixon as ‘a brazen and callous sexual predator’ saying, “He exploited young males and cultivated a toxic relationship with female children who he systematically abused throughout their childhoods”.
One of Dixon’s victims told the court that the abuse he inflicted on her in childhood has left her with a constant anxiety. “I was hoping he would do the right thing for once and not put me through the trial, but he didn’t. He is a coward who did not give evidence. He was happy to put us through it but not himself.”
Dixon began ‘transitioning’ in 2004. He does not have a gender recognition certificate and is still legally male. Nevertheless, His Honour Judge Mark Van Der Zwart has seen fit to accommodate him in a women’s prison, HMP Bronzefield.
You may remember that HMP Bronzefield was in the news earlier this year when a 43-year-old convicted murderer, an intact male who ‘identifies as a woman’, had sex with a ‘much younger’ female inmate who was drunk on illegal home brew.
Also Today - A Piss Poor Protest at the EHRC
THE POST MILLENNIAL: A trans activist protested the existence of female-only spaces by fouling a pavement and pouring urine over his own head.
This week an obviously male trans activist staged a ‘demonstration’ outside the headquarters of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) in London.
According to VICE magazine, this man is part of a group called Pissed Off Trannies which deposited 60 bottles of stale urine outside the EHRC. The stunt was intended to protest the EHRC’s so-called ‘transphobic agenda’ ie its guidelines that businesses and public organisations can legally exclude trans-identified male people from female-only spaces such as toilets and changing rooms.
The male activist, wearing a fright mask and a sheer dress through which his genitalia was visible, urinated on the pavement and then poured a bottle of urine over himself while shouting, “The EHRC has blood on its hands and piss on its streets”. He also poured urine right outside the entrance to the EHRC building.
Huge thanks to Twitter user, @TalulaThe, whose detective work uncovered the ‘activist’ behind this stunt. She posted a lengthy thread detailing his exploits but, inevitably, it was deemed to have ‘violated Twitter’s rules’ and subsequently deleted. Luckily, the information was archived in a thread reader.
The perpetrator is a man called Jamie who describes himself as a ‘non-binary transfemme interdisciplinary artist’ and goes by the handle ‘biogal’ online.
His ‘work’ seems to consist mainly of a sort of performance art in which he writhes, shouts, displays his genitals and employs a few tired misogynistic tropes. And it illustrates perfectly why women need single-sex spaces.
Friday 9th September - Mum’s The Word
THE TIMES: Stonewall tried to dictate the terms of Oxford University’s maternity guidance, protesting use of the word ‘she’ for mothers.
In June last year The Times reported that Stonewall uses its workplace equality scheme to ‘bully’ businesses and public bodies into promoting its aims, “Rewarding them with higher rankings if they bring their own policies in line with Stonewall’s agenda, and dropping them from the Top 100 if they do not”.
Following a freedom of information request, Oxford University tried to conceal the details of its Stonewall membership. A few months ago, however, the information commissioner compelled the university to make its correspondence public.
The released documents show that, in the feedback provided in 2020, Stonewall took exception to use of the word ‘she’ referencing mothers in the university’s maternity policies. The assessor wrote, “The majority of your family policies are gender neutral which is good, but you use ‘she’ in the maternity policy and I recommend reviewing the glossary to expand the definition of ‘mother’ to ensure it is fully inclusive.”
In 2019 Oxford University was ranked 93rd in Stonewall’s Workplace Equality Index. The following year, it had climbed to 76th place.

4W: A professor who refused to use they/them pronouns for a female student was threatened with the sack and told to ‘re-educate’ himself.
Richard Bugg, a theatre professor at Southern Utah University (SUU) was sanctioned after refusing to refer to a female student with they/them pronouns.
At the beginning of the 2021 academic year, a female student who ‘identifies as non-binary’ enrolled in Bugg's class and demanded that he use they/them pronouns when referring to her in class. He refused to do so but suggested a compromise; he offered to use her name or whatever singular pronouns she preferred.
The student filed a formal complaint to the University’s Title IX Office, as did one of her classmates claiming to have been offended by Bugg’s decision. Bugg claims that the student also pressured her classmates to boycott his class and she is said to have publicly stated her intention to get him fired.
A 7 month investigation by SUU concluded that Bugg’s conduct constituted ‘sexual harassment’. A month later Buggs was issued with a warning that if he refuses to address students by their preferred pronouns his salary could be reduced and his employment terminated. Furthermore, he was told he had to “Submit to education about current views and opinions of English language and grammar experts and resources that using Gender-Neutral pronouns when referring to an individual is now considered grammatically correct”.
Buggs has now brought a legal action against the university. He believes that being compelled to use a student’s preferred pronouns would force him to adhere to views on “Human nature, social dynamics, gender identity and its impact upon the English language” which are in opposition to his political beliefs. He also says that these ideas contravene the educational objectives of “Promoting clarity of expression” and “Providing students with the best chance for success once out in the real world”.
Saturday 10th September - The Clocks Were Striking 13 On Campus #2
REDUXX - Trans activists laid siege to a female bathroom at a Mexican university, daubing the walls with rape and death threats against feminists.
On 24th August a group of feminist students at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) painted a lesbian labrys symbol on a campus wall. They were immediately confronted by trans activists who hurled abuse at them. Soon afterwards, the trans activists claimed the labrys symbol made them feel ‘unsafe’ and demanded that the university provide them with ‘gender neutral’ toilet facilities. The university authorities acceded to their demands and agreed to install ‘gender neutral’ bathrooms on campus.
However, this wasn’t good enough for the trans activists and they besieged the largest female toilet block at the university. They changed the sign from ‘women’ to ‘gender neutral’ and daubed the exterior with anti-feminist and pro sex trade graffiti. It reads, “Less abolitionism, more whoring” and “Fewer TERFs, more sex”.
Inside the bathroom, the trans activists graffitied the walls with the words “Rape and death for TERFs”. To make this threat even more menacing, it was written next to the red crisis button which had been installed because sexual violence against women is so prevalent on the campus.
They university failed to remove the graffiti and in a statement issued on 26th August appeared to express its support for the trans activists. This emboldened them to embark on a campaign of intimidation against the women who oppose their rhetoric. A source told Reduxx, “They have begun a witch hunt against lesbian feminists”.
Laura Lecuona of Women’s Declaration International Mexico commented that the UNAM has been a breeding ground for gender identity ideology for years. She said that trans activists there behave with impunity and with the university’s complicity. “It seems that the authorities are terrified. They make it very clear who they want to protect. Time and again, UNAM has shown that their campuses and faculties are not safe spaces for women.”
Sunday 11th September - Leave Them Kids Alone
IRISH INDEPENDENT: Schools in Ireland are depending on trans lobby groups to inform their policies on pupils’ gender identity.
Since there is no national policy regarding pupils who identify as trans, the majority of Irish schools rely on trans lobby groups to advise them. Most schools receive training from two non-governmental organisations, BeLonGTo and Transgender Equality Network Ireland (TENI).
TENI, you may remember, is the organisation which produced a petition calling for feminists who oppose gender identity ideology to be denied political representation.
Both BeLonGTo and TENI advise Ireland’s schools that they should affirm the ‘gender identity’ asserted by their pupils who, in some cases, are only five years old.
TENI has produced a guide for primary school teachers which is hosted on the Irish National Teachers’ Organisation website. It advises teachers to make discussions about gender identity a ‘frequent and recurring theme’.
In 2019 BeLonGTo issued a guide for teachers and youth workers which advises them not to inform the parents of children who identify as trans. It even instructs teachers to answer ‘don’t know’ if parents ask them directly.
Advising teachers to lie to a parent about their own child. Right side of history?
See you next week.
A dreadful week, and some vomit inducing 'performance art'. The only good news is Prof Richard Bugg suing North Utah university for compelled speech. If he wins his case, this could have momentous consequences for those afraid to speak up. Let's hope he does.
Thanks JL
I honestly have no words , the depravity of humans and the stupidity of the judiciary make me hang my my head in shame
This should be mainstream instead of how to clean your effin toilet efficiently 😡
That was quite a lot of words actually
I look forward to the good news
