Reduxx has learned that a trans activist based in Washington state who serves on the board of directors for an LGBTQ+ youth group is a BDSM fetishist who maintains a profile on a controversial fetish website where he arranges sex parties. Jason Hogle, who uses the name Tela Rose Hogle, recently spoke out during a school board meeting against a resolution ensuring that girls’ sports are protected for females only.
During a Tumwater school board meeting on February 27, Hogle said that a resolution protecting girls’ high school sports would lead to young people committing suicide.
The Tumwater School Board in WA has passed a resolution banning males from girls sports after a 15-year-old girl took a stand and refused to play basketball against a team with a male player.

“The reason we are in the schools is to counter the effects bullying has on LGBTQ youth and keep them alive,” Hogle, said.
“I don’t think you’re protecting the safety of anyone by eliminating the right of a trans student to participate in sports,” he added.
Despite adamant opposition from Hogle and several other trans activists who attended the Tumwater school board meeting, the resolution was passed. After the majority vote, proceedings were stalled by a protest staged by the activists who had attended.
The resolution was a direct result of a troubling situation that occurred in February, wherein a female athlete playing for Tumwater’s girls’ basketball team sat out of the championship game. Student Frances Staudt, who is 15 years old, refused to play against the opposing team from Shelton High due to the inclusion of a trans-identified male player, Andi Rooks.
As a result of her decision, and for referring to the boy with male pronouns, Staudt has said that she is being investigated by school officials for “harassment and bullying.” In response to massive public outcry, the Tumwater School Board discussed and ultimately passed the resolution safeguarding girls’ sports within their district.
Hogle serves as the Board President for an LGBTQ+ Youth group called Pizza Klatch, which operates within three schools in Thurston County. The organization’s mission statement reads: “School will be a positive and supportive space where LGBTQ+ youth are accepted and celebrated – free to learn without violence, harassment, discrimination, suicidal ideation or self-harm.”
It continues: “The after-school support group provided a refuge for youth in need, but was discontinued in fall of 2007 after students were discovered by disapproving parents and suffered punishment … The support group quickly moved to lunchtime, and pizza was served at the first Pizza Klatch in February of 2008. Now youth had a safe and confidential place to meet during school hours to gain support and community.”
In a biography posted to the Pizza Klatch website, Hogle says that he began claiming a transgender status in 2017, and that the youth group “played an instrumental role” in his decision. Hogle made his decision public in 2020, and has been facilitating the youth groups since 2022.
Reduxx has located several social media profiles belonging to Hogle. Curiously, a social media post by Hogle in 2017, the year he claims to have begun identifying as transgender, highlights the work of Canadian trans-identified male diaper fetishist Sophie Labelle.
Labelle has, on several occasions, been invited into schools and public libraries to speak to young children about gender identity ideology. In February of 2021, Labelle came under widespread scrutiny after it was discovered that he had been producing and posting diaper fetish art on secret social media accounts, as well as furry fetish site “FurAffinity.”
In some cases, Labelle had used photos of other people’s children as models for his furry diaper fetish illustrations.
Hogle’s post featuring an image of Labelle’s book, “My Dad Thinks I’m a Boy,” is one of the very first uploaded to his Instagram account under the handle tela_rose.
Other images shared to Hogle’s account include multiple memes featuring photos of very young girls. When Jason Hogle announced on Facebook that he would be changing his name to “Tela,” he had also set as his profile picture an image of two prepubescent girls.
One post of a meme challenging respondents to divulge a “scary, unsettling secret” sees Hogle commenting: “I gave my Raggedy Andy doll a vaginoplasty when I got my first pocket knife.”
Several images depicted overt sexual themes. One photo of a woman wearing a thong appears to have been an ad targeted at Hogle, and he commented, “Why do I wish my a** looked like this?” Another shows a woman’s legs bound in rope and decorated to resemble a Christmas tree, while another was “stolen from a lesbian page” and carries overt sexual innuendo.
Reduxx also discovered Hogle’s Fetlife account, which he created in 2022, shortly after beginning to publicly claim to be a transgender woman. Fetlife is one of the largest social networks for the BDSM and fetish community. Fetlife users post homemade pornography and utilize the platform for hookups or to plan sex parties.
Hogle calls himself “Tela” on Fetlife, indicating that any interactions he may have had on the site would have involved referring to him by the same name that he uses in his daily life.
In his profile, he describes himself as a “bottom, rope bunny, brat,” and “mommy,” whose orientation is “pansexual queer bisexual.” Hogle indicated he was hoping to match up with a “dominant play partner,” and that his fetishes include “nipple play” and “spanking.”
A testimonial from Hogle features on the website of Queer Body Love, a coaching business operated by therapist and queer performance artist Elizabeth Cooper, who says her art work involves “performing naked and blind in a horse head mask.” In Hogle’s remarks, he insinuates that he was raped as a child.
“I learned that consent is the most important aspect of any relationship,” Hogle said. “I often took for granted other people’s need for consent. This is a direct result of my physical and emotional boundaries being violated, and of being ridiculed for even expressing the word ‘stop’ as a child.”
“Until I could see how much having my physical and emotional boundaries respected as a child could have spared me years of grief and trauma, I would never have understood that intentions do not justify actions which betray anyone else’s sense of safety, no matter how good.”
Bizarrely, an image of a BDSM strap-on device features on the social media account of the LGBTQ+ Youth group run by Hogle. A 2023 silent auction online fundraiser for the organization promoting last-minute items shows what is described as a “handcrafted, custom leather piece from Little Death Leather.”
According to the seller’s website, the leather products are produced by “a kinky, disabled queer for fellow weirdos and deviants,” and the item shown by the youth group’s account is a strap-on intended to hold dildos. “We’ve tested this harness with 5 inch toys to 1.5 foot toys – and it holds up,” boasts the product description.
In addition to working with children in a leadership role at Pizza Klatch, Hogle has been a guitar and ukulele instructor to young children at his business, Tela Rose Music Studio. He has also run for public office, as a representative in Washington state senate.
