Reduxx was officially launched on January 18 of last year with a budget of $0.00, a quickly thrown-together Wix site, and a few passionate women who saw a need for an unapologetically pro-woman, pro-child safeguarding platform for news and commentary.

Though we had no technical or business know-how, our passion drove us to focus on creating the best content we possibly could with the resources and skills we did have.

Somehow along the way, we must have done something right.

Since our launch, Reduxx has been sourced by Fox, The Daily Mail, National Review, The Times, The Telegraph, The Post Millennial, Blaze, Brietbart, The Daily Wire, GB News, blogTO, Yahoo, and more. We have released over 600 articles – an average of nearly 2 per day – and two dozen exclusives. As of our latest figures, we also amassed over 15 million unique visitors from almost every country in the world.

And we did it all while being 100% independent and reader-funded. That means we have not had any corporate donors, investors, or backers since our launch. We have, so far, operated entirely on the generosity of the people who cared enough to throw a tip in our jar so we could keep the lights on.

Thank you if you were or are one of those people! If you’d like to be, please click here.

As we ring in 2023, we do so with great optimism that Reduxx will continue to grow and prosper. We have a lot of big plans to expand our operations and improve.

In the meantime, let’s rewind and take a look at the top 10 Reduxx stories and moments of 2022.

Yes, it was hard to pick.


Students studying midwifery at the Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland were being taught that biological males could get pregnant and give birth through their penises.

In a workbook module provided to the student midwives, information was given on catheterizing penises and handling scrotums. The workbook was hastily edited, but not before some students came forward to express concerns about the quality of their education.

Released on April 27, this report by Bryndis Blackadder was one of our first major exclusives. Blackadder, now a regular contributor to Reduxx, had actually taken the story to other outlets but been turned away.

Genevieve Gluck’s article about an able-bodied man in Norway who identifies as a paralyzed woman sparked international outrage, especially from women’s rights and disability advocates.

Published on November 1, the article detailed how credit analyst Jørund Viktoria Alme, 53, publicly “came out” as a wheelchair-bound lesbian in 2020. Alme had been receiving sympathetic media coverage on Norwegian television, with some programs validating his disabled identity.

Alme is now using a wheelchair “almost all of the time” despite having no physical disability whatsoever.

On October 4, Reduxx published a shocking report by Shay Woulahan following news of the abrupt resignation of a trustee sitting on the board of a “trans youth” charity.

Dr. Jacob Breslow became a trustee for trouble-plagued trans charity Mermaids in July of 2022, but was out by October following revelations he had disturbing history of ostensibly pro-pedophile sentiment. Breslow had even spoken at a symposium held by B4U-Act — a pro-pedophile advocacy organization founded in 2003 by convicted child rapist Michael Melsheimer.

Reduxx later followed-up with another report revealing that Breslow had once maintained a blog on “minor attraction,” and had praised a fellow academic who had published a series of disturbing grunge magazines eroticizing young boys.

A fiend who was convicted of murdering a little girl took to social media to harass Reduxx staff and contributors in retaliation for an article we published about him.

On October 24, Reduxx revealed that Synthia China Blast had been discharged from his parole with the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. Blast, who identifies as transgender, was sentenced to 25-to-life in 1996 for the brutal murder of 13-year-old Ebony Nicole Williams. On July 30 of 2022, Blast was quietly discharged from his parole after completing the minimum sentence he had been assigned.

After the Reduxx article renewed interest in Blast’s case, the murderer waged a campaign of harassment on social media against Reduxx writers. He impersonated members of our staff, posted egregious sexual and violent comments about us, and threatened to come track some of us down.

Unfortunately for Blast, we don’t take marching orders from child killers.

On December 22, just days before Christmas, the Reduxx Team was hard at work delivering this exclusive exposé on LGBT Youth Scotland, a prominent charity in the United Kingdom centered around providing resources for “LGBT youth.”

Two survivors bravely came forward to speak to Reduxx about the horrific abuses they had faced while attending the charity as minors, alleging they had been groomed and sexually exploited by charity staff — one of whom was the former CEO, now incarcerated for raping a baby.

Following the Reduxx report, LGBT Youth Scotland announced it had filed a police report on itself with regards to the allegations.

This saga is far from over, and Reduxx stands in solidarity with LGBT Youth Scotland survivors.

In August, images from a football match showing a balding adult man playing amongst a team of young girls sparked confusion on social media. Some were quick to dismiss him as being the referee, while others weren’t so sure it was that simple.

Reduxx quickly jumped on the case and traced the images back to the Ladies Gaelic Football Junior J Shield tournament, which took place in Ireland between July 27 and August 3. We also identified the player as Giulia Valentino, a fetish club performer and TikTok employee who has been participating in women’s sports since beginning to identify as “female.”

Valentino’s football club, Na Gaeil Aeracha, which allows members to self-identify into whatever category they choose, won the tournament by a significant margin of victory. Quelle surprise!

On October 3, Reduxx revealed that an academic with a lengthy history of pro-pedophile sentiment was sitting on the board of a gay rights organization overseeing a daycare pilot program.

Rüdiger Lautmann, a German sociologist and gay rights advocate, was sitting on the board of Berlin’s Gay Counseling Services, which was coordinating with the Berlin Senate to launch a 90-children LGBTQ daycare.

Reduxx reported that Lautmann, formerly a professor at the University of Bremen, had once authored a book titled The Lust for Children: A Portrait of Pedophiles. The book was based on his interviews with 60 pedophiles, and argued that children as young as 4 can have meaningful and consensual sexual relationships with adults.

Following Reduxx‘s report, Lautmann stepped down from the board.

Throughout the year, Reduxx co-founders Anna Slatz and Genevieve Gluck fielded multiple interviews and data exchanges with brave women currently incarcerated with trans-identified males at two different U.S. institutions. 

From Edna Mahan in New Jersey, we spoke with Miseka Diggs, Dawn Jackson, and Amy Locane for three separate articles which detailed the struggles they have faced at one of the most contested institutions in the country. Our interview with Miseka Diggs actually caused our site to temporarily break after Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling tweeted out the link and called attention to Diggs’ tragic story. 

At the Central California Women’s Facility, Reduxx spoke to Sagal Sadiq, a brave trans-identified female inmate who has been vocally opposing the transfer of transgender males to the women’s estate. Sadiq also revealed that the women have been threatened with penalization for complaining about the conduct of the trans-identified male transfers. Another inmate at the facility, Mimi Le, gave Reduxx permission to publish her sworn affidavit alleging that a trans-identified male had sexually assaulted a woman at the institution.

Incarcerated women are some of the most neglected victims of gender ideology, and Reduxx is committed to continuing to amplify their voices. More interviews are scheduled for 2023.

In May, Reduxx released the first of what would become many installments revealing that the world’s top transgender health authority had been closely working with administrators of a site dedicated to castration and child abuse fantasies.

Following the release of the World Professional Health Association’s draft Standards of Care, Reduxx co-founder Genevieve Gluck began a months-long investigation into the connection between WPATH and The Eunuch Archives. Men with castration fetishes gather on the site to share their fantasies and indulge in written erotica, some of which featured graphic child sexual torture fantasies.

WPATH had directly acknowledged and cited The Eunuch Archives in their draft Standards of Care, but Gluck found the relationship ran far deeper than a footnote.

As it turned out, some of the top members of the sick site were prominent academics who worked directly with WPATH to develop the Standards of Care.

Without a doubt our most viral article so far, Reduxx was the first outlet to confirm the location and identity of a prosthetic-breast wearing teacher who was raising questions and eyebrows on social media.

After images began to circulate purporting to be of a “shop teacher” wearing a comically large fake bust complete with protruding nipples, Reduxx editor Anna Slatz traced the images back to Oakville Trafalgar High School in Ontario, Canada. Using the employee G-suite, the identity of the teacher was confirmed as Kayla Lemieux, a Manufacturing Technology instructor who allegedly began identifying as a woman in 2021.

The article, and subsequent follow-ups, accumulated almost one million direct clicks and sparked international media coverage, parental outrage, and even protests.

Since our initial stories on Lemieux, the school board has defended his right to dress as he pleases. But questions still remain about Lemieux’s intentions — with some claiming, or perhaps hoping, Lemieux’s antics are an elaborate anti-LGBT hoax, or (very) long-con intended to “game” the gender system.
