Miss Trans Perú arrestado por trata de personas en Bélgica

El dos veces ganador de Miss Transgénero Perú ha sido arrestado en Bélgica por presunto tráfico de personas para el comercio sexual, y por haber convertido a algunas de ellas en verdaderas esclavas en los barrios rojos legales más famosos de Europa.

Celeste Rivasplata, de 34 años, es un influencer de redes sociales muy conocido en Perú por haber ganado dos títulos nacionales de Miss Transgénero en 2019 y 2021, así como Miss Internacional Perú ese mismo año. Pero Rivasplata, un hombre biológico que se identifica como mujer, se enfrenta ahora a cargos de trata de personas después de que la policía se enterara de que dirigía una red internacional de explotación sexual con una docena de víctimas.

Según La Meuse, Rivasplata captaba a jóvenes vulnerables identificados como trans de Perú, y les ofrecía una vida mejor en Bélgica.

Si bien se desconoce la edad exacta de las víctimas, el padre de Rivasplata les cobraba una tarifa en Perú antes de su partida a Bélgica. Una vez que llegaban, Rivasplata les quitaba los pasaportes y les decía que su deuda solo podía pagarse a través de la prostitución. A las víctimas también se les amenazaba con daños a sus familias en Perú si no accedían.

Rivasplata alquilaba apartamentos y habitaciones de hotel en 6 ciudades de Bélgica donde la prostitución tenía algunas protecciones legales, así como en Utrecht, Países Bajos, donde alojaba a las víctimas, dejándolas sin nada más que comida. Luego anunciaba a las víctimas en Internet, incluso en sitios web de escolta del barrio rojo, y manejaba las reservas. A los clientes se les cobraba entre 150 y 300 euros por “pases” que luego les daban acceso a la víctima elegida.

El dinero que Rivasplata recaudó aparentemente fue lavado utilizando una agencia de transferencias electrónicas internacionales en Perú, y algunos administradores recibían sobornos para no registrar la identidad de Rivasplata en cada transacción.

Rivasplata fue arrestado el 7 de julio cuando la policía se enteró de la operación y lo conectó con las víctimas de trata a través de medios digitales. Fue encarcelado en una celda de detención de mujeres en Berkendael antes de ser puesto en libertad sin condiciones después de pagar una fianza de 7.000 euros el miércoles.

Los informes de noticias locales sobre los cargos a Rivasplata hablaron de él usando pronombres femeninos.

En 2019, Rivasplata apareció en múltiples programas de televisión peruanos una vez que el país introdujo leyes de autoidentificación de género. En una entrevista, Rivasplata declaró que las políticas peruanas anteriores que no le permitían cambiar sus marcadores legales eran injustas porque “se sentía como una mujer” y quería ser percibido y tratado como tal.

PhD Student Who Wrote “Masturbation” Research Paper Also Published Graphic Teen Boy Magazines

The PhD researcher at the center of a firestorm surrounding a controversial research paper he published earlier this year was previously the creator of magazines which featured disturbing, graphic photos of young boys.

Karl Andersson, a Swedish-born academic, is currently a PhD student at the University of Manchester in the Japanese studies department. According to his Researcher biography on the University’s site, his focus is on how “fans of subcultural comics in Japan experience desire and think about sexual identities.”

Andersson came under widespread scrutiny earlier this week after it was revealed he had written an academic article in which he admitted to masturbating to fantasy child sexual abuse material for three months as part of his “research.” The paper, titled “I am not alone — we are all alone: Using masturbation as an ethnographic method in research on shota subculture in Japan,” outlines Andersson undertaking an “experimental method” of masturbating to shota pornography.

Shota, a shortened version of shōtarō complex, refers to comics, cartoons, and other forms of visual media which focus on young boys in erotic and sexualized situations. The boys are primarily depicted as prepubescent, often having hairless bodies and very small features.

The medium is largely regarded as a form of fantasy child sexual abuse material, and is illegal in many countries including Canada and Australia as a result. It is also considered illegal in the United Kingdom, where Andersson may reside.

While Andersson does not reveal the ages of the youth in the sexual comics he masturbated to, he does refer to them as “young boys.” Later in the paper, Andersson writes that “very young boy characters would greedily jump over the first cock that presented itself” in a description of some of the comics he read.

The paper was published in April in Qualitative Research after peer-review. The journal has since come out and stated it was in the process of reviewing the entry.

But further investigation into Andersson’s background has revealed even more disturbing conduct.

From 2006 to 2010, Andersson was responsible for two disturbing visual media projects which focused on the sexualization of young boys.

Destroyer Magazine was Andersson’s first venture into the genre. Andersson was living in Prague and publishing out of the Czech Republic shortly after he graduated from Stockholm University, the graphic magazine billed itself as “the leading international teenage boy magazine!”

Two issues of Destroyer Magazine from 2007.

While Destroyer was derided in Sweden for its disturbing content, Andersson was sympathetically covered by Out, an international gay news outlet, in 2012.

“The most controversial expression of homosexuality is when a man is attracted to an adolescent boy,” Andersson is quoted as saying, “The [porn films] that are called ‘barely legal’ feature men dressed as boys … I find it quite uninteresting. It’s just drag. The models in Destroyer are well under 18.”

Andersson also stated that any criticism of the magazine was based in “homophobia,” and that: “the gay movement has lost touch with its past … It was founded to a large extent by men who were attracted to adolescent boys in Germany in the beginning of the 20th century. That should be acknowledged and it isn’t. We should honor them because we owe them our freedoms — instead, we despise them.”

In addition to Destroyer, Andersson also published another, even more graphic magazine titled Breaking Boy News, which focused on even younger teens and more gruesome content.

The stories focused on young boys committing violence against animals, girls, and each other, with a particular emphasis on pain and degeneracy.

In 2012, Vice interviewed Andersson on the now-defunct Breaking Boy News site.

Andersson states he created the side-project after searching for “news stories about stuff like ‘boy murders’ and ‘boy rapes’, added pictures and wrote smashing headlines.”

In the interview Andersson doesn’t shy away from the label “boy lover,” and appears to embrace his attraction.

“The boy is the one who does all the things we learn later in life not to do. He discovers things, tests limits, helps people, but he also robs, rapes or even murders. And they’re cute, of course. Boys are like kittens, it’s hard to take your eyes off them.”

Neither Destroyer Magazine nor Breaking Boy News featured fully nude portrayals of the youth, enabling them to skirt around legal restrictions. During the Vice interview, Andersson stated he had no concerns about legality, going on to scoff at child welfare advocates who had expressed concerns about his material.

“I was denounced by children’s advocates for allegedly ‘sexualizing children,’ but I said that teenage boys aren’t children, but are in fact sexual – something I enhanced in my magazine, which was a tribute to the teenage boy.”

Andersson also mentions Japanese shota comics, lauding them for their highly sexual portrayal of children.

“What I like about shotacon manga is that it’s an extreme fantasy. Not only are the characters young, which is illegal in reality; they also have unprotected sex and they have orgasms all the time and shoot what seems like litres of sperm, which is impossible in reality. I love it. I think fantasies should be as extreme as possible. We should let them flourish.”

In 2012, Andersson published a book called The Story of Destroyer Magazine, which went into further depth on his experiences publishing the controversial rag. In the book, Andersson critiques those who denounce pro-pedophile organization the North American Man-Boy Love Association.

“You don’t have to agree with NAMBLA on everything … What I criticize is the gay movement has chosen a strategy of presenting a safe image of LGBT persons instead of demanding acceptance for the deviant, whatever it is, so long as it’s legal. The condemnation of NAMBLA has nothing to do with caring abut children, but rather is about suppressing the most extreme expression of homosexuality.”

In addition to the two graphic magazines, Andersson contributed to The Lover, a “journal of sexual politics” that was similar to his other two endeavors, with the “journal” featuring graphic images of young boys. In one article he contributed in 2015, Andersson decries the treatment of homosexual men who have sex with teen boys, comparing it to the Nazi persecution of the Jews. His article, “I fell in love with a Hitler Jugend,” has been preserved on a pro-pedophile website which features an entire collection on Andersson.

Following news of the disturbing research article, Andersson’s University announced it was launching an investigation into his academic conduct, with a spokesperson stating: “The recent publication in Qualitative Research of the work of a student, now registered for a PhD, has raised significant concerns and complaints which we are taking very seriously. We are currently undertaking a detailed investigation into all aspects of their work, the processes around it and other questions raised. It is very important that we look at the issues in-depth.”

AUS: Female Inmates Protest Transfer of Transgender Sex Offender

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

Female inmates at one of Australia’s largest women’s correctional facility have launched a petition to have a trans-identified male sex offender removed out of fears for their own safety.

Women at the Dame Phyllis Frost Correctional Centre told the Herald Sun that the transgender male offender was moved to the Murray Protection Unit on July 5.

According to the Dame Phyllis petition, many women prisoners have been the victims of sexual assault and as a result, many “carry significant trauma associated with this experience.”

The petitioners say they have no prejudices against transgender individuals but are concerned for their safety as the inmate has a “working” penis and a history of violent sexual assault. Upon learning of the convict’s transfer, “the mental well-being of many of the women was severely compromised. They became visibly upset as they were triggered and traumatised,” reads the petition.

Those women residing in the Murray unit allege that they were initially told the inmate would be “locked down 23 hours a day”, but that ultimately administration aimed for “a full living, working and socialisation integration.”

They addressed the Minister for Corrections, the Department of Justice and Community Safety, Corrections Victoria and the Ombudsman when asking for the matter to be handled swiftly.

“We feel threatened, unsafe, distressed and traumatised with this current situation. Accordingly, we demand that (the inmate) be immediately removed from the Murray unit,” the petition says. “We consider this petition a matter of urgency and would therefore appreciate your prompt response.”

The report from the Herald Sun stated that the trans-identifying inmate pleaded guilty last year to sexually assaulting a woman on a street in Richmond, “while still a man.” Additionally, the news outlet revealed that the male transfer had also spent time in a European jail for a child sex offense.

While the name of the transferred inmate was not released, the details from the criminal’s background mirror that of Lisa Jones, a trans-identified male who had been sentenced to 3 years and 3 months in prison for sexually assaulting a woman last year.

Jones, aged 44 at the time, had stalked a woman as she was walking home on Lennox Street in Richmond before grabbing her and attempting to rape her. While pinning her down, Jones repeated: “Why won’t you lay down and have sex with me?”

The woman had been on a phone call with her mother at the time, and began screaming her location into the receiver before Jones snatched the phone away and disconnected the call.

Jones put his hands down the woman’s underwear and tried to pull down the victim’s jeans, but she was able to successfully fight him off as bystanders came rushing to her aid. Jones was ultimately detained after some bystanders chased him down as he tried to flee the scene.

“I didn’t do anything, it was her fault,” Jones, whose birth name is presently unknown, was reported to have said.

While hearing the case, Judge Pardeep Tiwana told Jones, “You physically restrained her despite her screams for help and telling you to stop, you persisted.” Tiwana added that it was a “brazen and opportunistic” attack against a complete stranger.

During the trial, it was revealed that Jones had a prior record for sexually abusing a 6-year-old girl in Germany, for which Jones served six years in a male prison there prior to being deported to Australia in 2018.

Australian media coverage of the assault referred to Jones as a woman and utilized feminine pronouns for him, with some outlets even insisting the sex attack had been “woman on woman” violence. News.com.au referred to Jones as a female, and repeatedly informed readers that he was a woman.

The lack of clear details and facts-based reporting resulted in a slew of feminists to take to social media and protest how Australian media had framed the attack.

“It’s a man, a male, aka a person with a penis. You should probably know this,” wrote Gaye Chapman of lesbian-focused lifestyle outlet After Ellen.

“Not a woman. Might call themselves one, might even have a piece of paper that says they should, in law, be treated as one, but that person is not, has never been & never will be, a woman,” said Twitter user CJ Smith, “You demean the experience of the woman who was attacked.”

While each state in Australia has different policies with respect to housing transgender inmates, according to Women’s Forum, New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania “have a ‘self-identification policy’, meaning that prisoners are meant to be placed in a facility based on how they identify, unless there are safety concerns or doubts around the authenticity of the prisoner’s gender identification.”

Asesora de WPATH dice que los pederastas son una “población marginada”

By
Reduxx Team
-

Una terapeuta que trabaja con delincuentes sexuales encarcelados en el estado de Pensilvania suscita preocupaciones después de que detectives de Internet descubrieran que había defendido a los pederastas por ser una minoría “marginada”.

El 24 de julio, la terapeuta Miranda Galbreath subió un video a YouTube titulado “Hablemos de las personas atraídas por menores”. En el video, Galbreath intenta poner a los pederastas como “el grupo de gente más vilipendiado del mundo” y lamenta que sean siempre prejuzgados por la población en general.

Galbreath utiliza el término “personas atraídas por menores“, evitando el término “pederasta” por tener connotaciones negativas.

“El término pederasta ha pasado de ser una etiqueta de diagnóstico a ser un insulto prejuicioso e hiriente que lanzamos a las personas para dañarlas o calumniarlas. También me gusta usar un lenguaje que priorice a la persona y que reconozca que cualquier etiqueta que apliquemos a alguien es solo una parte de lo que es”.

Galbreath compara un interés sexual depredador en los niños con una sexualidad innata, diciendo: “[Persona atraída por menores] simplemente significa que la persona tiene una atracción sexual o romántica duradera hacia los menores. No han elegido esta atracción… no puedes elegir ser heterosexual o gay, y no puedes elegir ser una persona atraída por menores”.

En su sitio web, Galbreath dice que ha sido una activa asesora de salud mental durante más de 20 años. Continúa diciendo que proporciona de forma activa mayoritariamente “servicios de evaluación y tratamiento en la comunidad y dentro de las prisiones estatales a personas que han cometido delitos sexuales”. En su Linkedin, muestra experiencia con el Departamento de Correcciones de Pensilvania.

Galbreath proporciona una lista de recursos y enlaces a otras organizaciones en su sitio web. Los temas que ha incluido son: “LGBTQ +”, “Kink and Poly” (“Fetiche y Poliamor”), “Youth/Teens” (“Jóvenes y Adolescentes”) y “Minor-Attracted Persons” (“Gente Atraída por Menores”).

En esta última categoría, Galbreath ha sugerido como recursos educativos varios grupos de presión pro-pedófilos. Entre ellos se encuentra The Prostasia Foundation, una organización benéfica 503c con sede en California que se publicita como una organización a favor de la protección infantil, una afirmación que ha sido cuestionada repetidamente por sus críticos.

Prostasia ha presionado contra la prohibición de la pornografía infantil, ha iniciado campañas de envío de cartas a representantes estatales exigiendo que las muñecas sexuales hechas a imagen de niños sigan siendo legales y ha hecho crowdfundings para la investigación sobre la viabilidad de los “desahogos sexuales de fantasía” para pederastas.

En las entradas del blog de Prostasia, “protección infantil” acaba siempre en las mismas oraciones que “libertad de expresión”, “fetiche” o “positividad sexual”. Los temas del juego de edad, los furries, el hentai y la prostitución se discuten a menudo sin barreras entre la sexualidad infantil y el abuso sexual infantil.

A principios de este año, Prostasia obligó a una revista académica a retirar un trabajo de investigación que expresaba críticas a su postura sobre la protección infantil, calificándolo de difamatorio. Titulado A Case Study via Sociolinguistic Analysis of [a] Covert Pro-Pedophilia Organization Registered as a Child Protection Charity (“Un caso de estudio a través del análisis sociolingüístico de una organización encubierta pro-pedofilia registrada como organización benéfica de protección infantil”), el documento, escrito por el Dr. Alaric Naudé de la Universidad de Suwon, se centraba en cómo Prostasia decía estar a favor de la protección infantil, pero construía una narrativa que ponía a los pedófilos como víctimas de “una estructura social opresiva”.

Hace poco que Prostasia comenzó a colaborar con una organización que se llama MAP Support Club, un grupo no registrado que afirma proporcionar “apoyo entre pares” para pedófilos, e invita a “personas atraídas por menores” de 13 años en adelante a participar en chats en línea sobre “atracción por menores”. Prostasia también ejecuta un servidor Discord que recientemente fue expuesto por detectives de Internet por dar cabida a comunicaciones preocupantes y altamente sexuales en presencia de menores.

Otro medio enlazado en el sitio web de Galbreath es B4U-ACT (pronunciado como “before you act”, “antes de actuar”), una organización sin fines de lucro registrada y con sede en Maryland, que busca establecer “comunicación entre personas atraídas por menores y profesionales de la salud mental”.

B4U-ACT fue fundada por un violador de niños convicto que declaró explícitamente que el propósito de la organización era avanzar en la normalización de la pedofilia. En el pasado, el grupo ha presionado a profesionales médicos para que alteren la clasificación de la “pedofilia” en la quinta edición del Manual de Diagnóstico y Estadística para los Trastornos Mentales (DSM) con el fin de reducir el estigma contra los agresores sexuales infantiles.

“Los criterios del DSM para la pedofilia deben asumir y promover una relación terapéutica colaborativa entre el médico o terapeuta y el paciente”, afirma el sitio B4U-ACT. “En contraste, los criterios diagnósticos actualmente propuestos, basados en datos del delincuente, asumen y aceptan que el paciente será deshonesto. Incluso la nomenclatura del cliente como ‘delincuente’ en lugar de ‘paciente’ en la revisión bibliográfica implica claramente una relación de confrontación entre el individuo y el profesional de salud mental”.

En una entrevista subida a YouTube el 12 de julio, Galbreath habla sobre los “ecosistemas sexuales” e intenta humanizar a los delincuentes sexuales.

“Tenemos una idea en nuestra sociedad sobre quiénes son estas personas que han cometido delitos sexuales. Tenemos palabras como ‘pervertido sexual’ y ‘depredador’ y ‘pederasta’ y ‘violador’. Todas son palabras realmente aterradoras y desaprobadoras. Cuando estás de verdad en una habitación con estas personas, son personas normales … Los que cometen delitos sexuales son como el resto de nosotros”.

Galbreath es miembro registrada de la Asociación Profesional Mundial para la Salud Transgénero (WPATH), que establece pautas y protocolos internacionales para el proceso médico de “transición”, incluidas recomendaciones para menores.

En mayo, una investigación publicada por Reduxx (aquí en español) descubrió que los miembros de un foro de fetiche pedófilo de castración infantil habían estado involucrados con WPATH durante más de una década, y participaban en el proceso de implementación del término “disforia de género” en la nomenclatura médica. Anteriormente se había utilizado la frase “trastorno de identidad de género”. Además, un término para la obsesión sexual con la mutilación genital, el síndrome de Skoptic, se eliminó del DSM-5.

Después de la introducción del término “disforia de género”, se añadió un diagnóstico de “disforia de género en niños” al DSM-5, allanando así el camino para la promoción de medicamentos conocidos como “bloqueadores de la pubertad”. Estas drogas, que también se utilizan para castrar químicamente a los delincuentes sexuales, fueron descritas recientemente directamente como “castración química” por un médico sueco en el Hospital Universitario Karolinska, quien condenó enérgicamente su uso para detener la pubertad infantil.

Los videos de Galbreath comenzaron a circular en las redes sociales esta semana después de que algunos clips fueran publicados por el investigador de noticias independiente The Dalton Report. Rápidamente, muchos usuarios de las redes sociales mostraron su rechazo a su intento de pasar a los pedófilos como una minoría estigmatizada.

Algunos usuarios notaron que la perspectiva de Galbreath sobre la pedofilia reflejaba la de Allyn Walker, que se ganó la infamia generalizada en octubre de 2021 cuando utilizó el término “personas atraídas por menores” para referirse a los pederastas en un podcast.

Walker, quien se identifica como no binaria, era profesora asistente de sociología y justicia penal en la Universidad Old Dominion en Norfolk, Virginia, y había sido entrevistada para el podcast ahora desaparecido de Prostasia para promocionar su libro titulado “A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity” (“Una Larga y Oscura Sombra. Gente Atraída por Menores y su Búsqueda de la Dignidad”) .

La noticia de la entrevista de Walker con Prostasia se extendió como la pólvora, y muchos expresaron su indignación al oír a una profesora de Universidad tratar la pedofilia bajo una luz favorable. Copias de la tesis doctoral de Walker comenzaron a circular rápidamente, demostrando que Walker había considerado teorías acerca de permitir que los pedófilos accedieran a “pornografía infantil de alta calidad” en la creencia de que se podría reducir el número de delitos.

La reacción fue tan severa que el presidente de la Universidad Old Dominion, Brian O. Hemphill, se vio obligado a emitir un comunicado pocos días después de la publicación de la entrevista, y poco más tarde puso a Walker de baja administrativa. El 26 de noviembre, una declaración conjunta emitida por ODU anunció que Walker presentaba su dimisión. A Walker se le dio recientemente una beca en el Centro Moore para la Prevención del Abuso Sexual Infantil.

Si bien tanto Galbreath como Walker insisten en que las “personas atraídas por menores” en general no “hacen nada al respecto” de sus atracciones, muchos defensores de la pedofilia han sido arrestados este año bajo sospecha de abuso sexual de niños.

En junio, dos miembros de una coalición holandesa para desestigmatizar la pedofilia fueron arrestados, uno en México y otro en Ecuador. Nelson Maatman, de 27 años, y Marthijn Uittenbogaard, de 50, se enfrentan a cargos relacionados con la explotación sexual de niños. Los dos habían sido miembros activos de grupos que buscaban cambiar las actitudes públicas hacia la “atracción hacia menores”.

WPATH Member Counselor Defends Pedophiles as a “Marginalized Population”

By
Reduxx Team
-

A licensed therapist who works with incarcerated sex offenders in the state of Pennsylvania is raising concerns after internet sleuths discovered she had defended pedophiles as a “marginalized” minority.

On July 24, licensed professional counselor Miranda Galbreath uploaded a video to her YouTube titled “Let’s talk about minor-attracted persons.” In the video, Galbreath attempts to frame pedophiles as “the most vilified population of folks” who suffer from “judgemental” assumptions of the wider population.

Galbreath utilizes the term “minor attracted people,” shunning the term “pedophile” as having negative connotations.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUGpng22nkw

“The term pedophile has moved from being a diagnostic label to being a judgmental, hurtful insult that we hurl at people in order to harm them or slander them. I also like to use person-first language that recognizes that any label we apply to a person is only part of who they are.”

Galbreath compares a predatory sexual interest in children to an innate sexuality, saying, “[Minor-attracted person] simply means that the person has an enduring sexual or romantic attraction to minors. They have not chosen this attraction… you don’t get to choose to be heterosexual or gay, and you don’t get to choose to be a minor-attracted person.”

On her website, Galbreath states that she has been an active mental health counselor for over 20 years. She goes on to say that she is primarily actively providing “evaluation and treatment services in the community and within state prisons to folks who have committed sexual offenses.” On her Linkedin, she displays experience with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections.

Galbreath provides a list of resources and link to other organizations on her website. Topics she has included are: “LGBTQ+”, “Kink and Poly,” “Youth / Teens,” and “Minor-Attracted Persons.”

In the latter category, Galbreath has suggested as educational resources various pro-pedophile lobbying groups. Among them is The Prostasia Foundation, a California-based 503c charity which markets itself as a pro-child safeguarding organization — a claim that has repeatedly been called into question by critics.

Prostasia has lobbied against child pornography bans, initiated letter-writing campaigns to state representatives demanding child-likeness sex dolls be kept legal, and crowd-funded for research into the viability of “fantasy sexual outlets” for pedophiles.

In Prostasia’s blog entries, “child protection” routinely ends up in the same sentences as “free speech,” “kink,” or “sex positivity.” The topics of age play, furries, hentai, and prostitution are discussed often with no barrier between child sexuality and child sexual abuse.

Earlier this year, Prostasia forced an academic journal to withdraw a research paper expressing criticism of their stances on child safeguarding, calling it defamatory. Titled A Case Study via Sociolinguistic Analysis of [a] Covert Pro-Pedophilia Organization Registered as a Child Protection Charity, the paper, written by Dr. Alaric Naudé of Suwon University, focused on how Prostasia claims to be for child safeguarding but builds a narrative framing pedophiles as victims of “an oppressive social structure.”

Recently, Prostasia began collaborating with an organization it calls the MAP Support Club, an unregistered group which claims to provide “peer support” for pedophiles, and invites “minor attracted people” aged 13 years old and up to participate in online chats about “minor attraction.” Prostasia also runs a Discord server which was recently exposed by internet sleuths for hosting disturbing, highly sexual communications in the presence of minors.

Another resource linked on Galbreath’s website is B4U-ACT, a registered non-profit based in Maryland which seeks to establish “communication between minor-attracted people and mental health professionals.”

B4U-ACT was founded by a convicted child rapist who explicitly stated the purpose of the organization was to advance the normalization of pedophilia. In the past, the group has pressured medical professionals to alter the classification of “pedophilia” in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM) in order to reduce stigma against child sexual abusers.

“The DSM criteria for pedophilia should assume and promote a collaborative, therapeutic relationship between doctor or therapist and patient,” states the B4U-ACT site. “In contrast, the currently proposed diagnostic criteria, based on offender data, assume and accept that the patient will be dishonest. Even the nomenclature of the client as ‘offender’ rather than ‘patient’ in the literature review clearly implies an adversarial relationship between the individual and the mental health professional.”

In an interview uploaded to YouTube on July 12, Galbreath discusses “sexual ecosystems” and attempts to humanize criminal sex offenders.

“We have an idea in our society about who these folks are that have committed sex offenses. We have words like ‘sexual deviant’, and ‘predator’ and ‘child molester’ and ‘rapist.’ They’re all really scary, judgey words. When you are actually in a room with these folks, they’re just regular people … The folks who commit sex offenses are just like the rest of us.”

Galbreath is a registered member of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), which sets international guidelines and protocols for the medical process of ‘transitioning’, including recommendations for minors.

In May, an investigation published by Reduxx revealed that members of a pedophilic child castration fetish forum had been involved with WPATH for over a decade, and were involved in the process of implementing the term “gender dysphoria” in medical nomenclature. Previously, the phrase “gender identity disorder” has been used. In addition, a term for a sexual obsession with genital mutilation – Skoptic syndrome – was removed from the DSM-5.

After the introduction of the term “gender dysphoria,” a diagnosis of “gender dysphoria in children” was added to the DSM-5, thereby paving the way for the promotion of drugs referred to as “puberty blockers.” These drugs, which are also used to chemically castrate sex offenders, were recently directly described as “chemical castration” by a Swedish physician at the Karolinska University Hospital, who strongly condemned their use in halting children’s puberty.

Galbreath’s videos first began circulating on social media this week after clips were posted by independent news researcher The Dalton Report. Quickly, many social media users took particular issue with her framing of pedophiles as a stigmatized minority.

Some users noted Galbreath’s perspective on pedophilia mirrored those of Allyn Walker, who came to widespread infamy in October of 2021 after utilizing the term “minor attracted people” to refer to pedophiles while on a podcast.

Walker, who identifies as non-binary, was an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, and had interviewed with Prostasia’s now-defunct podcast to promote her book titled “A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity.”

Word of Walker’s interview with Prostasia spread like wildfire, with many expressing outrage that a University instructor was portraying pedophilia in a sympathetic light.  Copies of Walker’s PhD dissertation quickly began to circulate, showing Walker had entertained theories regarding allowing pedophiles to access “high quality child pornography” in belief it may reduce offending. 

The backlash was so severe that Old Dominion University President Brian O. Hemphill was forced to issue a statement just days after the interview was released, and soon after placed Walker on administrative leave. On November 26, a joint statement issued by ODU announced that Walker was resigning from ODU. Walker was recently offered a fellowship at the Moore Center for the Prevention of Childhood Sexual Abuse.

While both Galbreath and Walker insist that “minor attracted people” by-and-large do not “act” on their attractions, multiple vocal pro-pedophilia advocates have been arrested this year alone on suspicion of sexually abusing children.

In June, two members of a Dutch coalition to destigmatize pedophilia were arrested, one in Mexico and one in Ecuador. Nelson Maatman, 27, and Marthijn Uittenbogaard, 50, are both facing charges related to the sexual exploitation of children. The two had been active members of groups which sought to change public attitudes towards “minor attraction.”

Spanish Parents to Sue Municipality Over “Pornographic” Event for Children

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

Parents in a small Spanish community are planning on suing local lawmakers after they discovered an event aimed at the town’s children had exposed them to highly sexual “games.”

The event, which took place on July 22 in Vilassar de Mar, a small municipality in Catalonia, included activities in which children were instructed to imitate sexual positions taken from the kama-sutra with each other, form genitals from play-dough, and learn about hardcore drugs.

The city’s youth department had organized the event, known as a “gimcana” – a typical Spanish game involving completing a series of challenges. It was targeted at youth as young as 12, but allowed adults up to 30 years of age to participate.

Parents who had trusted their children to what they believed would be an age-appropriate youth council-led event were shocked to learn what their children had been asked to do when they arrived to pick them up.

Amongst the disturbing activities, the children informed their parents they had been taught to place condoms on bananas, which they doused in honey and cream before licking.

Another game involved placing a balloon on a girl’s rear as a boy was asked to pop the balloon by simulating a sexual act.

Parents were also outraged when they discovered that pictures of their children holding up cards with images of positions from the kama-sutra were uploaded to Instagram. According to one parent, a picture of her 11-year-old was posted to the event’s social media without permission.

Hardcore drug use was also discussed at the event. The children were made to play a game in which they were asked whether an illicit drug was “injected or inhaled?” If they answered incorrectly, water mixed with flour was poured over them.

One mother told La Vanguardia, “We feel unprotected, these people have done what they wanted, going over the line.”

Another parent told media she worried that recordings of their children engaged in highly suggestive positions may have been made or disseminated. “We do not know if recordings of the children made by anyone may be circulating,” said the mother of a 13-year-old attendee. “[sic] What assurance do we have that they are not in the hands of pedophiles?”

The City Council of Vilassar de Mar has issued a statement defending the activities for minors, asserting that children consume pornography from a young age.

“We have detected that teenagers aged 11, 12, 13 watch pornographic content and build an image of sexuality based on what they see in porn … We try to break this dynamic by being open to talking about these issues so that they can share them with adults and try to prevent them from building a sexual imaginary with sexist, violent and unhealthy attitudes,” the statement read.

At a press conference on Friday, August 8th, Montse Gual, the leader of the town council’s youth department, called the uproar an “error in communication.” Gual apologized for not properly informing parents of the contents of the event but defended the interactions as part of childhood sexual education. Gual said that the participants had been divided into similar age groups, and added that the pictures had been taken down from social media.

Yolanda Laspadas, president of the local People’s Party of Vilassar de Mar, called upon the youth council administrator who arranged the events to be dismissed, adding: “the department knew it and did not notify the parents … This is pornography, not sex education.”

PhD Student Masturbated to Fantasy Child Sexual Abuse Material For “Research”

An academic article published by a PhD researcher at the University of Manchester is raising concerns from child safeguarding experts after it was discovered the article was focused on the writer’s experience masturbating to fantasy child sexual abuse material.

Karl Andersson, a Swedish-born academic, is currently a PhD student at the University of Manchester in the Japanese studies department. According to his Researcher biography on the University’s site, his focus is on how “fans of subcultural comics in Japan experience desire and think about sexual identities.”

In April of 2022, an academic research paper written by Andersson was peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Qualitative Research. The paper, titled “I am not alone — we are all alone: Using masturbation as an ethnographic method in research on shota subculture in Japan,” outlines Andersson undertaking an “experimental method” of masturbating to shota pornography.

Shota, a shortened version of shōtarō complex, refers to comics, cartoons, and other forms of visual media which focus on young boys in erotic and sexualized situations. The boys are primarily depicted as prepubescent, often having hairless bodies and very small features, and may be engaged in romantic or sexual situations with other young boys or even adult men. Less commonly, the boys are shown in sexual situations with adult women.

The medium is largely regarded as a form of fantasy child pornography, and is illegal in many countries including Canada and Australia as a result. It is also considered illegal in the United Kingdom, where Andersson may reside.

“I wanted to understand how my research participants experience sexual pleasure when reading shota, a Japanese genre of self-published erotic comics that features young boy characters,” Andersson writes in his abstract, “I therefore started reading the comics in the same way as my research participants had told me that they did it: while masturbating.”

Andersson describes that he had masturbated exclusively to shota media for three months as part of his research. Andersson logged his masturbation sessions in a diary, excerpts of which he published in his paper.

In one, from September 2021, Andersson describes a shota comic he read and orgasmed to as featuring a young boy “sniffing” and “licking” the genitalia of another young boy after catching him masturbating in the bathroom. He concludes the excerpt by writing: “… and while waiting for the shot I came!”

While Andersson does not reveal the ages of the youth in the sexual comics, he does refer to them as “young boys.” Later in the paper, Andersson writes that “very young boy characters would greedily jump over the first cock that presented itself” in a description of some of the comics he read.

In another excerpt, Andersson writes: “Took long time before any action. I read everything and once they started undressing and comparing their cocks I came immediately. Vague memories of me and [name retracted] … What was exciting was definitely the whole atmosphere with two new friends who discover sex together. Something you only do once in life. … I was there, was one of them, not sure who, or wait a minute: I was Haru! The new boy. Whereas Ken was the active one, and the one who was sexy!”

Following the excerpt, Andersson states that he enjoyed the comic as he could “relate” it to his own experiences growing up, and ascribes the allure of shota to a sense of “nostalgia.”

Andersson goes on to describe that masturbating to shota provided a sense of “self-care” both for him and for other men who regularly indulged in this form of material.

“I experienced a sense of self-care, which I also call the ‘spa effect’, since I often felt so relaxed after these sessions that it reminded of going to a spa, or why not an onsen, a Japanese hot spring.” Andersson writes, continuing: “While my previous masturbation habits had been rather routine, masturbating to shota became more of a ritual: carefully choosing a [comic] (what am I in the mood for today?), creating a comfortable position in the bed, dozing off a bit afterwards – it was all part of the ritual.”

In the article, Andersson also states that drawn, 2D comics are not his preference and that he prefers 3D mediums, though does not elaborate on whether that means he also indulges in computer-generated fantasy child sexual abuse material of a similar theme.

Prior to publishing his article on shota, Andersson had made a documentary film on those who watch shota titled Unreal Boys. The film is described as featuring “three young men in Tokyo” who “explore the limits of fantasy through the comic genre shota, which features fictional boys in sexual situations.”

The film won two prizes, including one at the Kiev Film Festival.

On his YouTube channel Andersson regularly posts “hauls” of shota and other Japanese media he purchases. In one haul posted around Christmas 2021, he displays various comics he purchased, most of which featured an adult woman romantically or sexually interested in young boys.

In another video uploaded to his YouTube, Andersson insists shota does not represent pedophilic desire in Japanese culture, and it is only when it is “misread” or “taken out of context” that there are concerns.

Japan has been notorious for its lax approach to child sexual abuse material, with the country only having made the possession of photos and videos of actual children being raped illegal in 2014. At the time, those who possessed real child pornography were given a one year grace-period to dispose of it or face a fine and a short period in prison. Drawn and CGI depictions of child sexual abuse, including those of children of any age, is legal and widespread.

Japan is known as an international hub for the production of both child pornography and trafficked children. According to child safeguarding organization ECPAT International, the Japanese government regularly allows child exploitation cases to be suspended, and for suspects to walk free.

While Andersson claims in his research paper that “untangling [the] largely unresearched knot of desires for fictional boy characters will give us a better understanding of human sexuality and provide a more solid basis for policymaking,” child safeguarding experts are unconvinced.

Andersson’s article appears to be the latest in a marked increase in openly sympathetic views towards pedophilia and providing them access to “fantasy outlets” at the academic level, with multiple incidents being reported over the past year alone.

In October of 2021, a ‘non-binary’ assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, came under widespread scrutiny after going on a podcast to promote her book:  “A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity.” The podcast was hosted by Prostasia, a charity many consider to be “pro-pedophile.”

Copies of Walker’s PhD dissertation quickly began to circulate, showing Walker had entertained theories regarding allowing pedophiles to access “high quality child pornography” and other fantasy outlets in belief it may reduce offending. Prostasia, the group Walker was interviewing with, has also lobbied extensively to make or keep fantasy child sexual abuse material legal.

While there has been little research conducted on the impact of fantasy child sexual abuse material on actual offending, there is extensive evidence demonstrating a connection between the consumption of child sexual abuse material and the sexual abuse of real children.

According to one federal review, while only 12% of a sample of criminals charged with child pornography-related offenses had prior contact sex offenses in their official records, 55% self-disclosed that they had prior sexual contact with a child. Another study placed the latter figure at closer to 85%, another another places it at 76%.

Disturbingly, a 2009 study of men in treatment after being charged with receiving, possessing, or distributing child sexual abuse material found that while 74% of them had no prior criminal record for hands-on child sexual abuse, by the end of their 18-month program, 85% had admitted to having sexually abused a child in real life at least once.

Due to the illegality of fantasy child sexual abuse material in the United Kingdom, Reduxx reached out to Jordan Kenny, the manager of media relations for the University of Manchester, for comment on Andersson’s research but did not receive response in time for publication. This article will be updated in the event a statement is provided.

Estudiante de doctorado se masturbó con material de fantasía de abuso sexual infantil para un “trabajo de investigación”

Un artículo académico publicado por un doctorando en la Universidad de Manchester está generando preocupación por parte de los expertos en protección infantil al descubrirse que el artículo se centraba en la experiencia del autor masturbándose con material de fantasía de abuso sexual infantil.

Karl Andersson, un académico nacido en Suecia, es actualmente doctorando en la Universidad de Manchester en el departamento de estudios japoneses. Según su biografía en Researcher en la página web de la Universidad, su enfoque se centra en cómo “los fans de los cómics subculturales en Japón experimentan el deseo y piensan sobre las identidades sexuales”.

En abril de 2022, un trabajo de investigación académica escrito por Andersson fue revisado por pares y publicado en el Journal of Qualitative Research. El artículo, titulado “No estoy solo, todos estamos solos: Uso de la masturbación como método etnográfico en la investigación sobre la subcultura shota en Japón”, describe a Andersson adoptando el “método experimental” de masturbarse con pornografía shota.

Shota, una versión abreviada del complejo shōtarō, se refiere a cómics, dibujos animados y otras formas de medios visuales que se centran en niños pequeños en situaciones eróticas y sexualizadas. Los niños son representados principalmente como prepúberes, a menudo con cuerpos sin pelo y rasgos muy pequeños, y pueden estar en situaciones románticas o sexuales con otros niños pequeños o incluso hombres adultos. Con menos frecuencia, los niños se muestran en situaciones sexuales con mujeres adultas.

Este medio se considera en general como una forma de pornografía infantil de fantasía, y es ilegal en muchos países, incluidos Canadá y Australia. También se considera ilegal en el Reino Unido, donde Andersson parece residir.

“Quería entender cómo los participantes en mi investigación experimentan placer sexual al leer shota, un género japonés de cómics eróticos autopublicados protagonizados por niños pequeños”, escribe Andersson en su sinopsis, “Por lo tanto, comencé a leer los cómics de la misma manera que los participantes en la investigación me habían dicho que lo hacían: mientras se masturbaban”.

Andersson describe que se había masturbado exclusivamente con shota durante tres meses como parte de su investigación. Andersson registró sus sesiones de masturbación en un diario, extractos de los cuales publicó en su artículo.

En uno, de septiembre de 2021, Andersson describe un cómic shota que leyó y con el que tuvo un orgasmo cuando apareció un niño “olfateando” y “lamiendo” los genitales de otro niño después de pillarlo masturbándose en el baño. Concluye el extracto escribiendo: “… ¡y mientras esperaba el tiro, me corrí!”

Si bien Andersson no revela las edades de los jóvenes en los cómics sexuales, sí se refiere a ellos como “niños pequeños”. Más adelante en el ensayo, Andersson escribe que “personajes de niños muy pequeños saltaban codiciosamente sobre la primera polla que se presentaba” en una descripción de algunos de los cómics que leyó.

En otro extracto, Andersson escribe: “Me llevó mucho tiempo entrar en acción. Leí todo y una vez que comenzaron a desnudarse y comparar sus pollas me corrí de inmediato. Vagos recuerdos de mí y [nombre borrado] … Lo que fue excitante fue definitivamente todo el ambiente con dos nuevos amigos que descubren el sexo juntos. Algo que solo haces una vez en la vida. … Yo estaba allí, era uno de ellos, no estaba seguro de quién, espera un momento: ¡Yo era Haru! El chico nuevo. ¡Mientras que Ken era el activo y el sexy!”

Después del extracto, Andersson afirma que disfrutó del cómic ya que podía “relacionarlo” con sus propias experiencias mientras crecía, y atribuye el atractivo de shota a un sentido de “nostalgia”.

Andersson continúa describiendo que masturbarse con shota le proporcionó una sensación de “autocuidado” tanto a él como a otros hombres que regularmente disfrutaban de este material.

“Experimenté una sensación de autocuidado, que también llamo el ‘efecto spa’, ya que a menudo me sentía tan relajado después de estas sesiones que me recordaba a ir a un spa, o por qué no, a un onsen, una fuente termal japonesa”. Andersson escribe, y continúa: “Si bien mis hábitos de masturbación anteriores habían sido bastante rutinarios, masturbarse con shota se convirtió más en un ritual: elegir cuidadosamente un [cómic] (¿qué me apetece hoy?), crear una posición cómoda en la cama, dormitar un poco después, todo era parte del ritual”.

En el artículo, Andersson también afirma que los cómics dibujados en 2D no son su preferencia y que prefiere los medios 3D, aunque no explica si eso significa que también disfruta de material de abuso sexual infantil de fantasía generado por ordenador de un tema similar.

Antes de publicar su artículo sobre shota, Andersson había hecho un documental sobre aquellos que ven shota, titulado Unreal Boys. La película se describe como protagonizada por “tres jóvenes en Tokio” que “exploran los límites de la fantasía a través del género de cómic shota, que presenta a niños ficticios en situaciones sexuales”.

La película ganó dos premios, incluyendo uno en el Festival de Cine de Kiev.

En su canal de YouTube, Andersson publica regularmente “alijos” de shota y otros medios japoneses que compra. En un alijo publicado alrededor de la Navidad de 2021, muestra varios cómics que compró, la mayoría de los cuales presentaban a una mujer adulta romántica o sexualmente interesada en niños pequeños.

En otro video subido a su YouTube, Andersson insiste en que shota no representa el deseo pedófilo en la cultura japonesa, y solo es problemático cuando se “malinterpreta” o “saca de contexto”.

Japón ha sido notorio por su enfoque laxo al material de abuso sexual infantil, y el país solo ha hecho ilegal la posesión de fotos y videos de niños reales violados en 2014. Por aquel entonces, aquellos que poseían pornografía infantil real recibían un período de gracia de un año para deshacerse de ella o llevarse una multa y un corto período en prisión. Las representaciones dibujadas y CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) de abuso sexual infantil, incluidas las de niños de cualquier edad, son legales y muy extendidas.

Japón es conocido como un centro internacional para la producción de pornografía infantil y de niños víctimas de trata. Según la organización de protección infantil ECPAT International, el gobierno japonés permite regularmente que se suspendan los casos de explotación infantil y que los sospechosos salgan libres.

Si bien Andersson afirma en su trabajo de investigación que “desenredar [el] nudo de deseos en su mayor parte no investigado de personajes infantiles ficticios nos dará una mejor comprensión de la sexualidad humana y proporcionará una base más sólida para la formulación de políticas”, los expertos en protección infantil no están convencidos.

El artículo de Andersson es la última contribución a la tendencia actual de ver la pedofilia de una forma abiertamente favorable y da acceso a “medios de fantasía” a nivel académico, con múltiples incidentes denunciados el año pasado.

En octubre de 2021, una profesora asistente “no binaria” de sociología y justicia penal en la Universidad Old Dominion en Norfolk, Virginia, fue objeto de un escrutinio generalizado después de participar en un podcast para promocionar su libro: “A Long, Dark Shadow: Minor Attracted People and Their Pursuit of Dignity”. El podcast fue presentado por Prostasia, una organización benéfica que muchos consideran “pro-pedofilia”.

Copias de la tesis doctoral de Walker comenzaron a circular rápidamente, mostrando que Walker había considerado teorías que permitían que los pedófilos accedieran a “pornografía infantil de alta calidad” y otros medios de fantasía en la creencia de que podría reducir el número de crímenes. Prostasia, el grupo que estaba entrevistando a Walker, también ha presionado duramente para hacer o mantener legal el material de abuso sexual infantil de fantasía.

Si bien se han realizado pocas investigaciones sobre el impacto del material de abuso sexual infantil de fantasía en el crime real, existe una amplia evidencia que demuestra una conexión entre el consumo de material de abuso sexual infantil y el abuso sexual de niños reales.

Según una revisión federal, mientras que solo el 12% de una muestra de delincuentes acusados de delitos relacionados con la pornografía infantil tenían delitos sexuales de contacto previos en sus expedientes oficiales, el 55% reveló que tuvieron contacto sexual previo con un niño. Otro estudio situó esta última cifra más cerca del 85%, otro la sitúa en el 76%.

Resulta alarmante que un estudio de 2009 de hombres en tratamiento después de ser acusados de recibir, poseer o distribuir material de abuso sexual infantil descubriera que, mientras que el 74% de ellos no tenía antecedentes penales por abuso sexual infantil en la práctica, al final de su programa de 18 meses, el 85% había admitido haber abusado sexualmente de un niño en la vida real al menos una vez.

Debido a la ilegalidad del material de abuso sexual infantil de fantasía en el Reino Unido, Reduxx se comunicó con Jordan Kenny, el manager de relaciones de prensa de la Universidad de Manchester, para obtener comentarios sobre la investigación de Andersson, pero no recibió respuesta a tiempo para su publicación. Este artículo se actualizará en caso de que haya declaraciones.

Mujer agredida en la Dyke March de Hamburgo por decir que los hombres no pueden ser lesbianas

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

Las lesbianas que se habían congregado en la Dyke March en Hamburgo el viernes fueron recibidas con hostilidad, y al menos una mujer fue agredida físicamente por transactivistas después de afirmar que los hombres no pueden identificarse como lesbianas.

Las mujeres se habían reunido para protestar pacíficamente contra uno de los oradores del evento, un político que recientemente comenzó a identificarse como lesbiano. La cuenta oficial de Instagram de Dyke March Hamburg anunció que ‘Tessa’ (Markus) Ganserer, quien declaró tener una identidad femenina en 2018, sería un orador invitado en el evento.

Ganserer, un miembro del parlamento alemán transidentificado, fue elegido para el Bundestag de Alemania en septiembre de 2021, ocupando un escaño que estaba reservado por cuota para la representación política femenina.

Ganserer fue elegido por primera vez como hombre para el parlamento estatal bávaro en 2013 representando a los Verdes. Desde que se identificó como mujer, ha hecho numerosas apariciones en eventos específicamente para mujeres. En marzo, Ganserer fue seleccionado por Los Verdes para presentar un evento que ponía de relieve a las mujeres en la política. El evento, titulado Mujeres*. Poder. La política, utilizaba un asterisco a lo largo de su descripción para indicar “todas las mujeres son bienvenidas”, con lo que se referían a los hombres que se identificaban como mujeres.

El año pasado participó en una manifestación por la visibilidad lésbica organizada por Dyke March Nürnberg, donde fue fotografiado con su esposa, que sostenía carteles que decían “Pastel lésbico”.

El 26 de abril, Ganserer tuiteó en apoyo del Día de la Visibilidad Lésbica para “todas las lesbianas, cis y trans*”. En julio, fue entrevistado por Siegessäule, una publicación propiedad de Manuela Kay, organizadora de Dyke March Berlin, y habló sobre los derechos de las “madres lesbianas”. Ganserer ha tenido dos hijos con su esposa.

Antes del evento, el hashtag #MarkusIstNichtLesbisch (Markus no es una lesbiana) fue tendencia en Twitter cuando las mujeres alemanas expresaron su indignación de que un hombre fuera a hablar aparentemente sobre su experiencia de identificarse como mujer.

Un grupo de mujeres que asistieron a la Dyke March para protestar sostenían carteles que decían: “No tienes que disculparte porque no te gusten las pollas”, “Me gustan las mujeres, no los hombres” y “Lesbiana: una mujer humana adulta homosexual”, así como otros letreros que señalan la homofobia del activismo trans y denunciaban el borrado lésbico.

Otros participantes de la Dyke March comenzaron a lanzar insultos a las mujeres, y algunos corearon “TERFs go home” (Terfs, idos a casa). Al ver que la hostilidad iba en aumento, la policía sacó a las mujeres de la marcha principal y se puso con ellas a un lado.

Ana Julia Di Lisio, fundadora del grupo de derechos de mujeres Radfem Berlin, dijo a Reduxx que activistas trans habían intentado incendiar la pancarta que definía a las lesbianas como mujeres en una manifestación anterior en Berlín. En la Dyke March de Hamburgo, la misma pancarta fue atacada, y una mujer intentó arrancársela de las manos a Di Lisio.

“Quería destruirla completamente. Intentó romper los postes de bambú que lo sostenían, y cuando no se rompieron, hizo más fuerza hasta que traté de detenerla. Reaccionó violentamente y continuó retorciendo la pancarta y de esta manera me lastimó el brazo con un corte y rasguños y un golpe en el labio”, dijo Di Lisio.

Como los agentes de policía estaban muy cerca, Di Lisio presentó inmediatamente una denuncia.

Di Lisio dijo que aunque fue una mujer la que la había atacado, creía que varios hombres que se identificaban como transgénero la azuzaron para hacerlo. “Estos hombres seguían agitando verbalmente mientras caminábamos con nuestras pancartas, pero los que vinieron a atacarnos eran principalmente mujeres provocadas por estos hombres”.

Según Di Lisio, Ganserer no habló en el evento como estaba programado. Cuando se le preguntó cuál creía que había sido la razón, dijo: “Eso podría tener que ver con el hecho de que Dyke* March Hamburg sabía que veníamos y no querían exponer a Markus [Ganserer]. Me dio la impresión de que la policía estaba informada de que veníamos, y digo esto porque la policía vino a nosotras incluso antes de que nos uniéramos a la marcha … para preguntarnos qué hacíamos allí”.

Di Lisio le dijo a Reduxx que la policía apartó a su grupo incluso antes de que entraran en la marcha y que las amonestó. “La policía nos dijo que estaban informados de quiénes éramos y nos pidieron que fuéramos pacíficas, cosa que hicimos”.

“Cuando me atacaron, alguien del Dyke March Hamburg estaba sacando fotos en lugar de venir a ayudar”, dijo Di Lisio, y aclaró que según la ley alemana, los transeúntes están obligados a intervenir cuando presencian un asalto, “por lo que la organización descuidó su deber de mantener el orden como prometió”.

Di Lisio dijo a Reduxx que la aceptación generalizada de que los hombres se identifiquen en el lesbianismo ha tenido graves consecuencias para los derechos y la seguridad de las lesbianas.

“Los efectos de que estos hombres se declaren lesbianas y finjan luchar por los derechos y necesidades específicas que tienen las lesbianas son devastadores … El borrado lésbico en países que ya tienen leyes de autoidentificación es tremendo”, dijo Di Lisio. “Ningún hombre que se declara mujer o lesbiana cambia su condición de hombre, ni al hacerlo desaparecen sus privilegios por una fantasía legal en un documento, ni porque tenga ‘sentimientos’ de ser lesbiana”.

Antes del evento, los organizadores subieron fotos a las redes sociales que los mostraban creando letreros que decían: “F*ck TERFs” y “TERFs are stupid”.

Ganserer no es el único hombre que se identifica como mujer que tiene poder político en Alemania. Maike Pfuderer es un hombre identificado como trans que es portavoz del Grupo de Trabajo Federal sobre Política Lésbica para el Partido Verde. En las redes sociales, Pfuderer frecuentemente denuncia como “TERFs” a aquellas que rechazan la noción de que los hombres pueden identificarse como mujeres.

En abril, un hombre heterosexual alemán llamado Francois Etscheid declaró su orientación sexual como “lesbiana” (aquí en español) y fue entrevistado por los medios de comunicación donde dijo que estaba buscando crear conciencia sobre el “raro fenómeno” de los “hombres lesbianos”.

En julio, lesbianas fueron atacadas en una Dyke March en Colonia, y una mujer fue agarrada por el cuello por un transactivista. En el mismo evento, un pequeño grupo de activistas a favor de la pedofilia mostró una bandera “MAP” (persona atraída por menores) y no denunció haber sido atacado o insultado.

Los legisladores alemanes están considerando actualmente una política de autoidentificación propuesta que permitiría a cualquier persona de 14 años en adelante cambiar su sexo legal completando un formulario. Los padres de niños menores de 14 años tendrían derecho a presentar el formulario en nombre de su hijo. Si uno de los tutores legales se niega a respaldar el cambio de indicador de sexo del menor, un tribunal de familia se reservaría el derecho, a petición del menor, de “reemplazar la decisión de los padres basada en el interés superior del niño”.

Se espera que el texto completo de la legislación propuesta y enmendada se haga público en otoño.

Un grupo de académicos escribieron una carta abierta el 1 de junio, pidiendo el fin de la promoción de la ideología de identidad de género en los medios patrocinados por el gobierno. Simultáneamente, también publicaron un dossier que reveló cómo los “medios de comunicación sexualmente explícitos dirigidos a niños y adultos jóvenes”, particularmente en el tema de la identidad de género, estaban siendo promovidos por canales de medios subsidiados por el gobierno.

Woman Assaulted At Pride March For Saying Men Can’t Be Lesbians

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

Lesbians who had congregated at Dyke March in Hamburg on Friday were met with hostility, and at least one woman was physically assaulted by trans activists after asserting that men cannot identify as lesbians.

Women had gathered to peacefully protest one of the event’s scheduled speakers, a male politician who recently began identifying as a lesbian woman. The official Instagram account for Dyke March Hamburg advertised that ‘Tessa’ (Markus) Ganserer, who declared a female identity in 2018, would be a guest speaker at the event.

Ganserer, a trans-identified male member of German parliament, was elected to Germany’s Bundestag in September 2021, taking a seat that was reserved in quota for female political representation.

Ganserer was first elected as a male to the Bavarian state parliament in 2013 representing the Greens. Since self-identifying as a woman, he has made numerous appearances at events specifically for women. In March, Ganserer was selected by the Green Party to present at an event highlighting women in politics. The event, titled Women*. Power. Politics, used an asterisk throughout its description to indicate “all women are welcome,” by which they were referring to males who identified as women.

Last year, he took part in a demonstration for lesbian visibility organized by Dyke March Nürnberg, where he was photographed with his wife holding signs that read “Lesbian cake.”

On April 26, Ganserer tweeted in support of the Lesbian Day of Visibility for “all lesbians, cis and trans*.” In July, he was interviewed by Siegessäule, a publication owned by Manuela Kay, organizer of Dyke March Berlin, and spoke about the rights of “lesbian mothers.” Ganserer has fathered two children with his wife.

Leading up to the event, the hashtag #MarkusIstNichtLesbisch was trending on Twitter as German women expressed their outrage that a man was set to speak, ostensibly on his experience of identifying as a woman.

A group of women who attended the Dyke March to protest held signs which read, “You never need to apologize for not liking dick,” “I like women, not men,” and “Lesbian: a homosexual adult human female,” as well as other signs pointing out the homophobia of trans activism and denouncing lesbian erasure.

Other participants of the Dyke March began hurling insults at the women, and some chanted “TERFs go home.” As the animosity mounted, police pulled the women out of the main march and stood with them to the side.

Ana Julia Di Lisio, the founder of women’s rights group Radfem Berlin, told Reduxx that trans activists had attempted to set fire to the banner defining lesbians as female in a previous demonstration in Berlin. At the Hamburg Dyke March, the same banner was targeted, and a woman attempted to rip the banner from Di Lisio’s hands.

“She wanted to destroy all of it. She tried to break the bamboo poles that held it up, and when they didn’t break, she put more force until I tried to stop her. She reacted violently and continued to twist the banner and this way she hurt my arm with a cut and scratches and a hit to my lip,” Di Lisio said.

As the police officers were in close proximity, Di Lisio immediately filed a report.

Di Lisio stressed that although a woman had attacked her, she believed that several men who were identifying as transgender worked her up to it. “These men kept agitating verbally while we walked with our banners, but the ones who came to attack us were mainly women triggered by these men.”

According to Di Lisio, Ganserer did not speak at the event as scheduled. When asked why she believed that was the case, she said, “That might have to do with the fact that Dyke* March Hamburg was expecting us and they did not want to expose Markus [Ganserer]. It gave me the impression the police were informed about us coming, and I say this because the police came to us before we even joined the march… to ask us what we were doing there.”

Di Lisio told Reduxx that the police pulled their group aside before they had even entered the march and cautioned them. “The police told us that they were informed of who we are and they asked us to remain peaceful, which we did.”

“When I got attacked, someone from the Dyke March Hamburg was taking photos instead of coming to help,” Di Lisio said, and clarified that under German law passersby are required to intervene when witnessing an assault, “So the organization neglected their duties to keep order as promised.”

Di Lisio told Reduxx the widespread acceptance of males identifying into lesbianism has had grave consequences for the rights and safety of lesbian women.

“The effects of these men declaring themselves lesbians and pretending to fight for the specific rights and needs that lesbians have are devastating … The lesbian erasure in countries which already have self-identification laws is tremendous,” Di Lisio said. “No man who declares himself a woman or a lesbian changes his status as a man, nor by doing so do his privileges disappear because of a legal fantasy in a document, nor because he has ‘feelings’ of being a lesbian.”

Prior to the event, organizers uploaded photos to social media showing them creating signs which read, “F*ck TERFs” and “TERFs are stupid.”

Ganserer is not the only man identifying as a woman who holds political power in Germany. Maike Pfuderer is a trans-identified male who is a spokesperson for the Federal Working Group on Lesbian Politics for the Green party. On social media, Pfuderer frequently denounces as “TERFs” those who reject the notion that men can identify as women.

In April, a heterosexual German man named Francois Etscheid declared his sexual orientation as “lesbian” and was interviewed by media as stating that he was looking to raise awareness of the “rare phenomenon” of “lesbian men.”

In July, lesbians were attacked at a Dyke March in Cologne, and one woman was grabbed and choked by a transactivist. At the same event, a small group of pro-pedophilia activists displayed a “MAP” flag (minor-attracted person), and did not report being attacked or insulted.

German lawmakers are currently considering a proposed self-identification policy which would allow anyone aged 14 years old and older to change their legal sex by filling out a form. Parents of children under 14 would have the right to file the form on their child’s behalf. If one of the legal guardians refuses to sponsor their minor’s sex marker change, a family court would reserve the right, at the request of the minor, to “replace the decision of the parents based on the best interest of the child.”

The full text of the proposed and amended legislation is expected to be made public by autumn.

A group of academics co-authored an open letter on June 1, calling for an end to the promotion of gender identity ideology in government-sponsored media. Simultaneously, they also released a dossier that revealed how “explicit sexual media directed at children and young adults,” particularly on the topic of gender identity, was being promoted by government subsidized media channels.
