Reclusas demandan a guardias que cobraron para ingresar a hombres en sus celdas

Veinte mujeres interpusieron una demanda en contra del alguacil y varios oficiales correccionales de una cárcel en el condado de Clark, Indiana después de que un funcionario le vendiera las llaves de las celdas femeninas a los presos varones con el fin de permitirles abusar sexualmente de las mujeres.

Según la demanda presentada el 21 de junio, las mujeres encarceladas fueron aterrorizadas y agredidas cuando el oficial penitenciario Davie Lowe le vendió el acceso a su sección de la cárcel a dos reclusos varones por $1,000. Durante una terrible experiencia que duró “varias horas”, las mujeres fueron abusadas por varios presos varones quienes lograron invadir la zona ayudados por los que habían comprado las llaves .

Los documentos del caso, presentados en la División de New Albany del Tribunal de Distrito de EE. UU., alegan que las 20 demandantes “sufrieron lesiones horrorosas, tanto físicas como psicológicas” durante la noche del 24 de octubre del 2021.

Comenzando aproximadamente a las 11:30 p. m., los dos reclusos varones que habían comprado las llaves de los dormitorios femeninos ingresaron a las instalaciones y fueron  de celda en celda, amenazando a las reclusas  “a muerte” para que no usaran los botones de llamada de emergencia.  Luego, los dos hombres se fueron y regresaron con un grupo más grande varones, muchos de los cuales habían ocultado sus identidades cubriendo sus rostros con telas.

En el transcurso de la noche, las mujeres fueron manoseadas, amenazadas y obligadas a exponer sus cuerpos. Al menos dos reclusas fueron violadas.

Luego, el informe detalla que “después de varias horas, una reclusa logró tocar el botón de emergencia y comenzó a gritar para llamar a los oficiales correccionales”, lo que provocó que los reclusos se retiraran a su área dentro de la prisión.

Pero la terrible experiencia de las mujeres no terminó ahí, ya que el personal penitenciario aparentemente sancionó a las reclusas por haberlos llamado pidiendo auxilio.

Las mujeres fueron castigadas con la pérdida de su “privilegio de oscuridad”, lo que significa que fueron sujetas a 72 luces encendidas durante días completos para evitar que durmieran. Durante los días posteriores al incidente, las mujeres fueron encerradas y sometidas a interrogatorios en celdas de detención. Muchas de las posesiones personales de las mujeres también fueron confiscadas  durante “extorsiones” organizadas.

Los informes locales también indican que ninguno de los varones encarcelados ha enfrentado cargos y no se facilitaron kits de violación a las mujeres víctimas de sus abusos.

Además de David Lowe, el reporte incluido en la demanda identifica al alguacil del condado de Clark, Jamie Noel, y a otros “oficiales anónimos del Departamento del alguacil del condado de Clark” como acusados. Se alega en el informe, que el alguacil Noel “permitió que los oficiales acusados ​​Lowe y demás oficiales sin nombre actuasen sin la supervisión adecuada, lo que creó una alto riesgo de que se produjeran violaciones de los derechos constitucionales de las reclusas y, en particular, de las demandantes. ”

Las demandantes han solicitado un juicio por jurado.

En declaraciones para Reduxx, Amie Ichikawa expresó su decepción con el caso, pero sintió que era parte de una tendencia más amplia, un desprecio generalizado por la seguridad y la dignidad de las mujeres encarceladas.

“Las mujeres encarceladas seguirán siendo el sector más vulnerable de todas las mujeres hasta el día en que se vea que tienen valor social”, dijo.

Ichikawa es la fundadora de WomenIIWomen, un grupo de defensa con sede en California que defiende las necesidades de las reclusas. El sitio web de Ichikawa señala que el 93% de las mujeres encarceladas en los Estados Unidos han sufrido violencia sexual en algún momento de su vida.

“La situación en el condado de Clark, el Departamento de Correcciones y Rehabilitación de California, en Rikers, y en el Edna Mahan, es que las prisioneras son vistas como inútiles y tratadas como tal. Esto también explica por qué los medios no están creando una tormenta de fuego en torno a este incidente, porque no les importa”.

Ichikawa hace referencia a los impactantes recientes sucesos en las prisiones de Nueva York, Nueva Jersey y California como ejemplos de cómo la seguridad de las reclusas ha sido negada por completo tanto por la administración como por los principales medios de comunicación.

Mientras que en el condado de Clark, se les vendió las llaves de las celdas femeninas a hombres reclusos, muchos estados han adoptado políticas que le permiten a los hombres ser transferidos a instalaciones femeninas sobre la base de una identidad de género autodeclarada como “masculino no cis”.

Varios estados han adoptado políticas explícitas de autoidentificación, lo que permite que hombres con antecedentes de violencia física y sexual contra mujeres y niños puedan ser transferidos a instituciones correccionales para mujeres después de declararse “transgénero”. Probablemente en el caso más extremo, a los reclusos varones en California no se les exige ningún cambio legal o médico para que se les apruebe la transferencia.

Según Keep Prisons Single Sex USA, poco menos del 50% de los reclusos varones identificados como trans a nivel federal tienen antecedentes delictivos sexuales. La organización también ha revelado que en California, un tercio de los reclusos varones que han solicitado ser trasladados a prisiones de mujeres están en la base de datos de delincuentes sexuales.

De manera similar a lo que se denunció en la demanda de Indiana, las reclusas en Nueva Jersey y California informaron haber sido “castigadas” por el personal penitenciario por presentar quejas formales sobre violaciones que presenciaron o experimentaron a manos de hombres recién transferidos.

Además de la demanda, David Lowe, el ahora ex oficial correccional de la cárcel del condado de Clark quien facilitó la venta de llaves a los violadores, fue arrestado en octubre del 2021 y actualmente enfrenta cargos penales relacionados con el tráfico de reclusos. Su juicio está fijado para septiembre de este año.

Female Inmates Launch Lawsuit After Guard Sold Access To Their Cells To Men, Allowed Them To Be Raped

By

-

Twenty women have launched a lawsuit against the Clark County, Indiana Sheriff and multiple Correctional Officers at the Clark County Jail after one of those officers sold male inmates keys to the female cells for the purposes of allowing them to sexually abuse the women.

According to a lawsuit filed on June 21, the incarcerated women were terrorized and assaulted when Correctional Officer Davie Lowe sold access to their section of the jail to two male inmates for $1,000. During a horrific ordeal which lasted “multiple hours,” the women were abused by several male inmates who had been allowed in by the two who had bought the keys.

The case documents, submitted at the US District Court’s New Albany Division, allege that the 20 plaintiffs “suffered horrific physical and psychological injuries” during the night of October 24, 2021.

Beginning at approximately 11:30 p.m, the two male inmates who had purchased the keys to the female pods entered and began going from cell-to-cell, warning the female inmates that they would “kill them” if they used their emergency call buttons. The two men then left and returned with several more male inmates, many of which had obscured their identities by cloaking their faces in fabric.

Over the course of the night, the women were groped, threatened, and forced to expose their bodies. At least two female inmates were raped.

The filing then details that “after multiple hours, a female inmate hit the emergency button and began screaming to call for the correction officers,” resulting in the male inmates retreating back to their area of the prison.

But the women’s ordeal didn’t end there, with correctional staff apparently penalizing the female inmates for having called them.

The women were punished with a loss of “dark privileges,” meaning they were subjected to 72 continuous lights-on in order to prevent them from sleeping. Over the next several days following the incident, the women were placed on lockdown and subjected to questioning in holding cells. Many of the women’s personal possessions were also confiscated in organized “shakedowns.”

Local reports also state that none of the male inmates have faced any charges, and no rape kits were administered on the abused women.

In addition to David Lowe, the lawsuit filing identifies Clark County Sheriff Jamie Noel and “Unnamed Officers of the Clark County Sheriff’s Department” as defendants. As alleged in the filing, Sheriff Noel “allowed Defendant Officers Lowe and other Unnamed Officers to be employed in the manner … without adequate supervision, which created a substantial likelihood that violations of the constitutional rights of inmates, and in particular Plaintiffs, would occur.”

A trial by jury has been requested by the plaintiffs.

Speaking to Reduxx, Amie Ichikawa expressed disappointment in the case, but felt it was part of larger trend of a widespread disregard for incarcerated women’s safety and dignity.

“Incarcerated women will remain the most vulnerable sector of all women until the day that they are seen to have societal value,” she says.

Ichikawa is the founder of WomenIIWomen, an advocacy group based out of California which advocates for the needs of female inmates. Ichikawa’s website notes that 93% of incarcerated women in the United States have experienced sexual violence in their lifetimes.

“In the situation[s] in Clark County, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, on Rikers, [and] at Edna Mahan — female inmates are seen as worthless and treated as such. This also explains why the media isn’t creating a firestorm regarding this incident, because they don’t care.”

Ichikawa references the shocking recent stories out of prisons in New York, New Jersey, and California as other examples of where the safety of female inmates have been outright dismissed by both administration and the mainstream media.

While in Clark County, male inmates were sold the keys to the female cells to gain access, many states have adopted policies of enabling males to transfer into women’s facilities on the basis of a self-declared ‘non-cis male’ gender identity alone.

Several states have adopted explicit self-identification policies, allowing men with histories of sexual and physical violence towards women and children to be transferred into women’s correctional institutions after coming out as “transgender.” In likely the most extreme example, male inmates in California are not required to have undergone any legal or medical changes in order to be approved for transfer.

According to Keep Prisons Single Sex USA, just under 50% of trans-identified male inmates at the Federal level have a history of committing sex offenses. The organization has also revealed that in California, one-third of male inmates who have requested transfer to women’s prisons are on the sex offender registry.

Similar to what was declared in the Indiana lawsuit, female inmates in New Jersey and California have reported being “punished” by correctional staff for filing formal complaints about violations they have witnessed or experienced at the hands of male transfers.

In addition to the lawsuit, David Lowe, the now-former Clark County Jail Correctional Officer who had facilitated the sale of the keys, was arrested in October of 2021, and is currently facing criminal charges related to inmate trafficking. His trial is set for September of this year.

“Twitter Hates Women”: Feminist Suspended After Challenging Trans Activist

By
Lavy Shwan
-

Women’s rights advocates on Twitter are outraged after a UK-based feminist was permanently suspended for challenging a trans activist who called women “psychotic” for advocating for single-sex spaces.

On July 12, Aja, a popular British feminist and poet, found herself permanently banned from the Twitter platform after what she believes was a targeted “mass report” campaign against a benign tweet she had made in response to a trans activist.

“I only realized when I checked my WhatsApp and people were asking if I had been suspended,” she told Reduxx, noting she soon after received an email from Twitter with the reason for her suspension.

Aja had made a quote-tweet in response to a male trans activist who called women concerned about the impact of gender ideology on their rights “psychotically hung up” on it.

In the post that got her banned under Twitter’s “hate speech” Terms of Service policy, Aja wrote: “This man say[s] you are psychotic if you are a disabled woman and would like a say in who gives you intimate care. This man thinks it’s ok for women to be touched without their consent. This is rape culture disguised as trans rights.”

Once word of Aja’s suspension began to circulate, the hashtag #TwitterHatesWomen started to trend in the United States and United Kingdom, with feminist activists and allies expressing outrage at the apparent censure.

Standing For Women, an official information page which often communicates on behalf of women’s rights activist Kellie-Jay Keen, posted a video from Aja presenting a poem she had created in wake of her suspension. In the poem, Aja calls out gender ideology as “a white man’s game.” The video has over 18,000 views at the time of this article’s writing.

“If you’re black and a woman and you’ve fallen for this crap, then I hate to say this, but you should be ashamed because you’ve been played,” she recites, “Have you heard how they compare us to men? Let me say it like this so it sinks in. If your black mum can be a woman then so can a him?”

Responding to the video posted by Standing for Women, Julie Scott tweeted: “Just when you think Twitter can’t sink any lower, it bans a woman for saying that a man calling disabled women ‘psychotic’ for wanting a say in who provides their intimate care is an example of rape culture.

Many other users compared the treatment of Aja’s post to the recent debacle with the disturbing pipe bomb threat that had been directed at JK Rowling.

“You allow death threats against [JK Rowling] to stand and yet you suspended this woman for speaking the truth about sexism and racism and its links with gender identity politics. This is disgraceful,” Jo Phoenix tweeted. The tweet Phoenix referenced, originally posted by an Irish trans activist Shane Murray, had been left up for two weeks prior to Rowling calling attention to it, the backlash causing Murray to flee the platform.

Speaking to Reduxx, Aja says she had been expecting Twitter to action on her account for a while, but admits to being surprised it was that tweet in particular which prompted action. Aja explains her anticipation of a ban had come from seeing feminists suspended for small infractions.

“I’ve seen women suspended for the most minor thing, yet men can post rape and death threats,” she says, continuing: “And if you go down the wrong Twitter hole you can find extreme porn and [pedophilia] yet [those users] are allowed to stay on Twitter. It’s a bloody joke.”

Aja points out that the original tweet she had been responding to is still up, demonstrating a clear bias in Twitter’s policy enforcement.

While Aja has appealed her suspension, she says she isn’t particularly upset if she winds up losing her account permanently. She credits her frequent offline activism as being a major support system for her that softened the blow, and encourages other women to take steps to grow their offline network.

“I’d like to say to women that if they can go to meetings and find groups to join, definitely make an effort to… They can’t take away our voices in real life.”

BRAZIL: Trans-Identified Male Assaults Teen Girls For Advocating for Single-Sex Bathrooms

A Classroom in Colégio Instituto de Educação.

A video out of Brazil showing a trans-identified male student assaulting two female classmates is going viral, with the attack reportedly taking place following the girls expressing concern about males being able to access the female washrooms within the school.

The disturbing video depicting the attack, which took place at Colégio Instituto de Educação in Maringá, Brazil, has been viewed over 200,000 times as of this article’s writing. While the footage has been blurred to protect the juvenile’s identities, the incident is said to have taken place on July 7.

The “non-binary trans” identified male student and his friend had approached the two female students while they were waiting at the bus stop after class, allegedly to confront them over their advocacy against mixed-sex facilities at the school.

The two trans activists then began assaulting the girls. In one shot, a female student can be seen getting pushed to the ground. Her friend appears to attempt to help her, but is grabbed by the hair and pulled to the side. Shortly after, she is seen being hit in the head repeatedly while she is doubled-over. While the clip on Twitter was edited for length, in a longer video of the same incident uploaded to Facebook, the trans-identified male student can be heard saying: “Next time you’re transphobic, I’ll break your bones!”

One of the assailants also calls the girl a sexist slur, while onlookers excitedly yell to record the attack.

All of the students involved in the incident are 17 years-old and in their third-year of high school, according to local outlet RIC Mais. The family of the girl who was assaulted told press that she and her friend had been complaining to school administrators about boys being allowed to use the female restrooms and petitioning their classmates to speak up on the policy. Their campaign to end mix-sex washrooms was allegedly being discussed by administrators, who were suggesting allowing students to take a vote.

A police report has been registered by the family of one of the teen girls who were assaulted. Media reports indicate that the girls are now afraid to attend classes and at least one of the two victims is considering transferring to another high school.

Disturbingly, a very similar incident occurred at another Brazilian school just last year.

In November of 2021, footage was uploaded to Twitter showing the violent scene from inside a public school when a trans-identified male student brutally beat a female student for opposing his presence in the female bathroom. 

The male can be seen pulling the girl from the women’s restroom by her hair and throwing her to the floor where ehe begins to thrash and kick her repeatedly.

The fight purportedly had broken out after the girl expressed discomfort with the male’s presence in the restroom.

The violence continued until another student stepped in and pulled the trans-identified male away from the girl, who quickly got up and began yelling “você nāo é mulher!” – or, “you are not a woman!”

The footage went viral, and attracted the attention of prominent Brazilian politicians, journalists, and influencers.

Sabrina Campos, a columnist with Brazil’s Journal DR1, wrote in response to an upload of the video: “What is evident to me is that a thin transvestite with the physical appearance of strength similar to the girl’s [still] demonstrated ease in [beating] her with a force so superior that only another boy was able to stop him.”

Brazilian feminists have become increasingly outspoken on issues related to gender identity in recent years, but not without backlash.

In June, a Reduxx exclusive revealed one Brazilian feminist influencer was being charged with five counts of a hate-based crime after she called a transgender politician a “man.” Isabela Cêpa had made her comments after hearing that the most-voted for “woman” in the November 2020 regional elections was a biological male.

BRASIL: Joven estudiante transidentificado agrede a niñas adolescentes por defender exclusividad de baños femeninos

A Classroom in Colégio Instituto de Educação.

Desde Brasil nos llega un video viral de un estudiante transidentificado agrediendo a dos de sus compañeras de clase. Según los informes, el ataque comenzó luego de que las niñas expresaran su preocupación por el hecho de que un varón pudiera tener acceso a los baños femeninos del colegio.

El inquietante video ha sido visto más de 200.000 veces (para el momento de redacción de este artículo)  y muestra el ataque que tuvo lugar en el Colégio Instituto  de Educação de Maringá, Brasil. Si bien las caras lucen desenfocadas para proteger la identidad de los menores, se cree que el incidente se desarrolló durante el 7 de Julio.

El estudiante identificado como “trans no binario” y su compañero se acercaron a las dos estudiantes mientras estas esperaban en la parada de autobuses luego de terminadas las actividades escolares. La supuesta razón era para enfrentarlas por su rechazó hacia las instalaciones mixtas dentro de la escuela.

Los dos activistas trans comenzaron a agredir a las niñas. En una toma, se puede observar como una estudiante es empujada y cae al suelo. Su amiga intenta ayudarla, pero la agarran por el cabello y la jalan hacia un lado. Poco después, se puede ver como es golpeada repetidamente en la cabeza mientras se dobla del dolor. Si bien el clip en Twitter fue editado debido a las limitaciones de la plataforma , pero existe una grabación más larga del mismo incidente compartido a través Facebook, en donde se puede escuchar al estudiante identificado como trans vociferar: “¡La próxima vez que seas transfóbica, te romperé los huesos!”.

Uno de los asaltantes también insulta a la niña usando un calificativo misógino, mientras los espectadores gritan emocionados grabando el ataque.

Todos los estudiantes involucrados en el incidente tienen 17 años y están cursando su tercer año de secundaria, según el medio local RIC Mais. La familia de la niña agredida explicó a la prensa que ella y su amiga se habían quejado con la administración de la escuela luego de que se le permitiera el uso de los baños femeninos a varones y le habían solicitado a sus compañeros que el tema se debatiera en clase. Supuestamente, los administradores estaban discutiendo como abordar la política de baños mixtos, hasta pretendiendo llevarlo a voto estudiantil.

Un informe policial fue registrado por la familia de una de las adolescentes que fueron agredidas. Varios reportajes indican que las niñas ahora tienen miedo de asistir a clases y al menos una de las dos víctimas está considerando transferirse a otra escuela secundaria.

Pero desafortunadamente no se trata de un hecho aislado, un incidente muy similar ocurrió en otra escuela Brasileña el año pasado.

En noviembre del 2021, se subieron imágenes a Twitter que captaban una escena violenta dentro de una escuela pública en donde un estudiante identificado como trans golpeaba brutalmente a una alumna por oponerse a su presencia en el baño de mujeres.

Se puede ver al hombre sacando a la niña del baño tomándola por el cabello y arrojándola al suelo para luego golpearla y patearla repetidamente.

Supuestamente, la pelea estalló después de que la niña expresara su incomodidad con la presencia del hombre en el baño de uso exclusivo para niñas.

El ataque violento continuó hasta que otro estudiante intervino y separó al hombre identificado como trans de la niña, quien rápidamente se levantó y comenzó a gritarle “¡você nāo é mulher!” – o, “¡tú no eres mujer!”

Las imágenes se volvieron virales y captaron la atención de destacados políticos, periodistas e influencers brasileños.

Sabrina Campos, columnista para el Diario DR1 de Brasil, escribió en respuesta al video: “Lo que es evidente para mí es que un travesti delgado con un nivel de fuerza física aparentemente similar al de la niña pudo dominarla y golpearla con facilidad y solo fue la intervención de otro joven lo que logró detenerlo.

Las feministas brasileñas se han vuelto cada vez más francas sobre los temas relacionados con la identidad de género en estos últimos años, pero no sin convertirse en blanco para reacciones violentas.

En Junio, una exclusiva de Reduxx reveló que una influencer feminista Brasileña estaba siendo enjuiciada por cinco cargos de crímenes de odio después de llamar a un político transgénero “hombre”. Isabela Cêpa había hecho su comentario después de escuchar que la “mujer” más votada en las elecciones regionales de noviembre del 2020 resultó ser un hombre biológico.

Trans Sex Offender Loses Bid to Remove “Deadname” from Registry

By
Jennifer Sieland
-

A transgender sex offender who sexually assaulted a disabled teen boy has lost a bid to remove his male identity from the registry after claiming “deadnaming” was a form of cruel and unusual punishment that prevented him from exercising his “right to self-expression as being a female.”

The offender, who is currently 22 years old, has only been identified as “Ella” due to his crime having involved a minor. “Ella” has been fighting for a name change for over a year, with his previous attempt being denied by the Wisconsin State Court of Appeals in January 2021.

According to court records, “Ella’s” criminal history is related to a sexual assault dating to May of 2016. Shawano Police department received a complaint from a 15-year-old boy who reported that “Ella,” also a teenager at the time of the offense, had held him down and forcibly performed oral sex on him. The victim, who has not been identified, is blind in one eye and has an Autism diagnosis.

After the assault, “Ella” cyber-bullied the boy on social media, who then faced widespread victimization as his peers became aware of the assault.

Wisconsin Department of Corrections records indicated “Ella” was 6-foot-5 and weighed 345 pounds, while the boy was 5-foot-10 and weighed 110 pounds.

At the time of his conviction, “Ella” was denied an attempt to not be required to register as a sex offender, with the court noting he was classified as a “high risk” offender. Within the period of his 6-to-10 month sentence, “Ella” began to self-identify as transgender.

In February of this year, “Ella’s” name-change case was heard before the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which attempted to weigh whether self-declared gender identity should take precedence over transparency and public safety in regards to sex offenders. Wisconsin does not allow sex offenders to change their legal names as a measure of transparency, but does not prevent them from using the aliases of their choosing in civil settings.

The state Supreme Court announced the decision on July 7, upholding the previous denials — but the court had been heavily divided, with the decision coming from a narrow 4-3 majority.

“Consistent with well established precedent, we hold Ella’s placement on the sex offender registry is not a ‘punishment’ under the Eighth Amendment,” Justice Rebecca Bradley said in her majority decision. Justice Brian Hagedorn, who agreed with the decision, chose to write a separate concurrence rather than signing on to Bradley’s because he disagreed with the Court using ‘she/her’ pronouns for the offender, and obscuring his real name’s initials of “C.G.”

Justice Ann Walsh Bradley wrote the dissent, saying that the name change denial would expose “Ella” to undue gender identity-based problems.

“… requiring Ella to maintain a name that is inconsistent with her gender identity and forcing her to out herself every time she presents official documents exposes her to discrimination and abuse,” Bradley noted, using feminine pronouns for “Ella.”

Elsewhere in the dissent, Bradley states that the majority decision was not taking into account the “evolution” of the law in line with issues of social justice, and stated it “discounts the burdens Ella faces.” Bradley also compares “Ella’s” need for a name change to that of religious converts, writing: “Both a religious name and a name that conforms to one’s gender identity involve fundamental aspects of a person’s identity that are conveyed through the medium of a name.”

“Ella” is ordered to be on the sex offender registry for a total of 15 years.

UK: “Trans” Conservative Politician Convicted on Fleeing Site of Car Crash

By
Shay Woulahan
-

A Conservative Member of Parliament who was previously under fire for owning a “sugar daddies” website which exploited financially vulnerable young women has been convicted for fleeing the scene of a car accident in November 2021. The conviction comes just months after the politician came out as “transgender.”

Jamie Wallis, who has represented the riding of Bridgend since 2019, had initially pleaded not guilty to four offenses including failing to stop, failing to report a road traffic collision, driving without due care and attention and leaving a vehicle in a dangerous position. He was found guilty on three of the four offenses today.

The Tory politician has been banned from driving for six months and fined £2,500 as a result of his conviction. He was also ordered to pay additional costs of £620 and a victim surcharge of £190.

Cardiff Magistrates Court heard today how Wallis was allegedly wearing high heels and a black leather-style mini-skirt when he swerved to avoid a cat, crashing into a lamp post.

The court also heard how locals, Adrian Watson and Natalie Webb heard the crash at around 1am and allegedly witnessed Wallis at the scene. Watson said he looked inside the car and saw “a white male wearing a white long-sleeve top which was tight to the body, a black leather-PVC mini-skirt, tights, dark shoes with a high heel and a pearl necklace.” He then described Wallis walking away from the scene.

After the incident, Wallis was arrested at 7:21 am and subsequently suspended from driving. One of the arresting officers, Police Sergeant Gareth Handy describes arriving at Wallis’s “mansion” and having to force entry into the property. Another officer then found the politician asleep with “make up on his face,” and described seeing a blond wig on the nearby table.

Wallis was challenged about why he fled the scene and he avoided the questioning, stating that he had taken medication after arriving home and had fallen asleep soon after. However, the court heard that Wallis had made numerous calls and sent a number of text messages immediately after the incident, but did not call police.

During an earlier hearing, Wallis claimed to have been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder due to having been the victim of sexual assault in 2021. Wallis also stated he had been meeting men online for sex despite being married to a woman, and the alleged sexual assault occurred during one such meeting.

In 2020, an unknown individual attempted to extort Wallis, demanding £50,000 from the politician and threatening to expose him for his sexual proclivities. Wallis reported the blackmailer to the police and he was ultimately found guilty and sentenced to 2 years and 9 months in prison.

In the run-up to the trial in March, Wallis “came out” as transgender by posting a statement to his Twitter account. The politician wrote: “I’m trans. Or to be more accurate, I want to be.” Wallis was met with mixed reaction, with some, including then-UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, congratulating him on his “bravery.”

Despite coming out as trans, Wallis has not taken any steps to medically or even socially transition, arriving in court today in a suit. In his earlier statement on his gender identity, he encouraged people to continue to address him by masculine pronouns.

This is not the first time the politician has been in the spotlight.

In 2020, Wallis was exposed as having co-owned a site called Sugar-Daddies.net, which solicited financially vulnerable people to advertise themselves for sexual connections with “sugar daddies.” While the site claimed it was not sex-specific and welcomed “boys [and] girls,” the market is typically understood as wealthy older men willing to “sponsor” much younger women in exchange for sexual favors. 

Wallis’ involvement with the site was exposed by a Buzzfeed investigation, which noted that he had initially denied any involvement with the venture.

“The site appears to have been owned and operated by a company named SD Billing Services Limited. For the avoidance of any doubt, I have never had a financial interest, nor been a director of SD Billing services Limited and cannot comment on its operational activities,” Wallis had told Buzzfeed reporters.

But an annual return filed by SD Billing Services in 2008 demonstrated that 100% of its shares were owned by a company called Fields Group Limited, of which Wallis was a director and shareholder. As a result, Wallis was, in fact, the legal co-owner of Sugar-Daddies.net.

After Wallis’ stake in the site was revealed, Labour politician Jess Phillips called on the Conservatives to expel him from the party.

“Let’s be clear: sugar daddy is a euphemism for something deeply ugly: exploitation of women by powerful men,” Phillips’ campaign said. “The Tories should feel ashamed sitting alongside Jamie Wallis. The only way to show they don’t condone this kind of behavior is to remove the whip.”

At the time, Labour Member of Parliament Tonia Antoniazzi also backed Phillips’ call to expel Wallis, saying she was “really concerned” about him, and adding that his track record was “dubious.”

Even before the Sugar-Daddies.net scandal, Wallis’ past business ventures had been heavily scrutinized. Several of the companies Wallis owned or had financial interest in proper to being elected to Parliament had been subjected to “hundreds” of trading standards complaints by consumers.

One of Wallis’ other companies was an outsourcing agency which fielded jobs to Thailand where staff were paid the equivalent of $3.27 USD per hour. In some of the agency’s listings, “females only” were requested.

Pro-Pedophilia Activists Marched for ‘Equal Rights’ At 2022 Cologne Pride

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

Reduxx has learned that members of a German pro-pedophilia group were present and demonstrating during one of Europe’s largest Pride celebrations in Cologne.

According to a post on the website K13online, members of the pedophile community called Krumme-13 congregated at the parade, colloquially known as Christopher Street Day (CSD), on July 2, and displayed a flag representing “minor-attracted persons” pride.

The post uses the acronym LGBTIQ+P and demands the “official inclusion of pedophiles” within the LGBT movement. Describing the symbolism of the MAP flag, Krumme-13 says that the colors “connect pedo-, hebe- and/or also partheno-/ephebophiles,” which are sexual paraphilias that distinguish the preferred age ranges for sexual abusers. The baby blue and pink stripes in the MAP flag which symbolize a sexual interest in young boys and young girls, respectively, correspond with those seen in the transgender pride flag.

Popular fact-check website Snopes has claimed that the MAP pride flag does not exist, despite its documented use by pro-pedophile activists. Instead, Snopes states the flag was a “troll experiment on Tumblr” created as part of a “fear-mongering campaign” intended to “link pedophilia to the LGBTQ community.”

At the Pride event in Cologne, pro-pedophile activists also carried signs opposing the “censorship” of the organization Queer.de and advocated for a “diversity of opinions” within the LGBT community.

Krumme-13, along with other German child sex abuse advocates, call for the inclusion of pedophilia as a protected “sexual identity” in accordance with Article 3 of Germany’s Basic Law, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of certain characteristics, including race and sex.

On the community’s main forum, activists are already planning out a presence at the next Pride parade.

“In 2023 there will be CSD [parades] again in many cities. K13online is already calling on the German pedophile scene to actively participate in one way or another in the [demonstrations] of the LGBTIQ+(P) communities,” a post reads.

Transactivists march in Cologne during the Christopher Street Day event, calling for the category of “sexual identity” to be a protected characteristic under Article 3

A statement on the K13online website asserts that “pedophilia is an independent sexual identity and must therefore also be protected by Article 3.” The justification provided for this position, according to Krumme-13, is that “the vast majority of pedophiles do not commit any crimes,” and thus, their sexual attraction is no different than homosexuality or heterosexuality in principle. The activists have been demanding that the “pedophile [sexual] identity” be “protected from discrimination, criminalization, exclusion and persecution” under Germany’s equality laws.

The German language does not distinguish between biological sex and the concept of socially constructed gender. The word Geschlecht is used interchangeably for both, and Geschlechtsidentität is the equivalent of the term “gender identity” and “sexual identity.” Therefore, the demands of trans activists to include “gender identity” as a protected characteristic overlap with the stated political aims of the pedophile community.

Letter accompanying Kromme-13’s petition for legal protections for pedophiles to German lawmakers

Krumme-13 is spearheaded by pedophile lobbyist Dieter Gieseking, who has filed a total of three petitions with the Bundestag, or parliament, calling on members of the political parties SPD (Socialist Democrats), FDP (Free Democratic Party) and the Greens to agree to an amendment to Article 3 which would protect pedophilia as a “sexual identity.”

Gieseking frames his campaigning as an effort to defend “children’s rights” and to protect “sexual minorities” from discrimination. The two most recent petitions submitted to the government were lodged on February 14, 2021.

In a 2018 interview for the program Veto, Gieseking repeatedly refers to pedophilia as a “romantic relationship,” and insists that children can seduce adults. “On the forums and in my experience there are many times, for example, when a boy of let’s say 12, actually initiates the relationship,” he says.

Gieseking also made several references to the Netherlands, a country known for its prominent pedophile activism and which currently hosts the majority — 66 percent — of all CSAM sites in the European Union. He told the interviewer, Holger Kreymeier, that Germany should follow the Netherlands’ lead and lower the age of consent to 12 years old. Dutch pedophile activists have been campaigning for a lower age of consent for several decades and were nearly successful in 1985, but were prevented by intense public scrutiny.

“That is just the current zeitgeist, in the past studies have shown the many benefits (of sex with children) for children… The problem is that victim protection and child protection organizations have sprung up and influenced mainstream media,” he added. Gieseking speaks of the multinational pro-pedophile campaigning that occurred through the 60’s – 80’s in nations such as the United States, United Kingdom, and the Netherlands as a better time for the “zeitgeist.”

Speaking to Reduxx, Dr. Alaric Naudé calls Dieter and his aims “dangerous.”

“Dieter Gieseking … sincerely believes that pedophiles have the right to rape children as long as the child consents. We know of course that children cannot consent, but this is the basic tenant of the pedophile movement.”

Dr. Naudé is a Professor at Suwon University in South Korea, where his focus is on social sciences and linguistics. In February, Naudé’s research critical of “pro-pedophile” charity Prostasia was hastily deleted from The British Journal of Sociology and History after the group complained. Since then, Naudé has become publicly outspoken on creeping attempts to ‘normalize’ pedophilia within academic and social institutions.

Responding to Gieseking’s Veto interview, Dr. Naudé told Reduxx: “Gieseking shifts blame to child protection organizations for creating stigma following the clear pattern of projection that we see from pedophilia organizations such as NAMBLA, PIE, Prostasia and B4UACT. In their eyes, the pedophile is never to blame, it is always the society that is cruel for preventing child rape.”

The German government has its own dark history of supporting and even subsidizing child sexual abuse. Throughout the late 60’s – 80’s, German sexologists — including the originator of the term “cisgender” — began to frame adult sexual relations with children as progressive and harmless rather than abusive.

The infamous ‘Kentler Experiment’ conducted by Berlin-based sexologist Helmut Kentler saw foster children placed in the homes of pedophiles beginning in 1969 for the purpose of facilitating child sexual abuse. This experiment was authorized and subsidized by the Berlin Senate. In 1988, nearly two decades later, Kentler described the project as a “complete success” in a report he submitted to the Senate.

So pervasive was the cultural trend towards the legalization of pedophilia that even Germany’s Green Party advocated for the abolition of Paragraph 176 of the German Criminal Code, which criminalized sexual activity with children under the age of 14.

According to leading German women’s rights advocate and journalist Alice Schwarzer, feminist groups were the only ones vocally opposing the legalization of pedophilia being championed by members of the Green Party.

“As late as 1988, Volker Beck, [a former] parliamentary secretary of the Greens called for a ‘decriminalization of pedosexuality’ in a contribution to the polemic ‘The Pedosexual Complex’,” wrote Schwarzer in EMMA, a feminist publication she founded.

The legislation that would have lowered the age of consent was drafted in part by the Greens organization BAG SchwuP (Federal Working Group for Gays, Pederasts and Transsexuals). In 1984, the BAG SchwuP was delegated to the parliament’s working group for “Law and Society” and was financed by the federal government. The SchwuP coordinator, Dieter Fritz Ullmann, had been in prison as many as six times for child sexual abuse beginning in 1980. Yet Ullmann was active in the Greens at the state level and, from 1985, represented the party at the federal level.

Schwarzer has explained that feminists were slandered for “exposing the whole mess”. She also pointed out how women were accused of homophobia for calling attention to attempts to legalize child sexual abuse. “In this discourse, homosexual pedophiles have taken the lead, although straight pedophiles are in the majority. They cleverly mixed their demands with the fight against discrimination against homosexuals,” wrote Schwarzer in 2013.

Members of the modern German pedophile community who protested at the Pride event on July 2 made no reports of being physically or verbally assaulted for promoting their views. In contrast, during the same parade, a group of women were attacked by transactivists and called “TERFs” for implying that men could not identify as lesbians. One of their detractors was an organizer for the Dyke March.

Una organización benéfica para mujeres del Reino Unido promueve al autor trans de una guía sexual “pedófila” para niños

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

Un rama de una organización benéfica de mujeres del Reino Unido está siendo criticada por promover un libro de un autor trans que escribió una guía sexual explícita para niños, y que dijo que ser gay era un “premio de consolación” para hombres que no eran transgénero.

La Fawcett Society provocó indignación esta semana al promocionar un libro, The Gender Games (Los Juegos del Género), del autor transgénero Juno Dawson (nacido James Dawson). La división local de West Midlands de la Sociedad dirige un club de lectura mensual y publicó la selección de julio en las redes sociales el jueves.

El formulario de registro de Eventbrite asociado con la reunión del club de lectura resume los temas principales del libro y compara a las “feministas excluyentes”, un término despectivo para las mujeres que creen que no se puede cambiar de sexo, con los “jóvenes de extrema derecha “.

La noticia fue recibida con críticas generalizadas, y Fawcett West Midlands puso rápidamente el candado a su cuenta oficial de Twitter como respuesta. Algunas feministas señalaron que el propósito de la organización benéfica era promover las causas de las mujeres, y que habían fracasado en su intento de encontrar una mujer escritora cuyo trabajo poder promover.

Por qué? Por qué no leer un libro que sea relevante para las mujeres, escrito por una mujer? No es como si los libros escritos por hombres fueran escasos.

Otras internautas se apresuraron a señalar un comentario homofóbico que Dawson hizo en 2017 durante una entrevista a la revista Attitude, una publicación dirigida a hombres homosexuales.

“Muchos gays son gays como premio de consolación, porque no pudieron ser mujeres”, dijo Dawson, en referencia a su decisión de identificarse como transgénero. Las referencias al comentario se publicaron una y otra vez debajo del anuncio del club de lectura, y muchos exigieron que la Sociedad abordara el tema.

Genial, siempre pensé que la Fawcett Society era homofóbica, ahora hay pruebas.

Antes de identificarse como “mujer”, Dawson había trabajado como maestro de primaria y se identificaba como hombre gay. En 2014, publicó un libro titulado This Book is Gay (Este Libro es Gay), que se comercializó como una guía para niños de 13 años en adelante. El libro, escrito en un lenguaje infantil destinado a atraer a los lectores jóvenes, enseñaba gráficamente a los niños cómo realizar actos sexuales, y proporcionaba ilustraciones de esos actos.

“La acción de la muñeca es lo más importante para una buena paja. Frótale la punta de la p*lla de un lado a otro con la mano. Prueba diferentes velocidades y presiones hasta que responda positivamente”, aconseja Dawson en el libro, donde también da instrucciones sobre sexo oral y anal. “Lo mismo que con las pajas y los huevos del desayuno, a todos los hombres les gustan sus mamadas servidas de diferentes maneras”.

Como informó en 2015 The Guardian, la presencia del libro de Dawson en la sección de no ficción juvenil de una biblioteca pública en Wasilla, Alaska, llevó a los padres a presentar una reclamación. Cuando un niño de 10 años se llevó el libro a casa, su madre, Vanessa Campbell, se “sorprendió” al descubrir que contenía dibujos explícitos y descripciones de actos sexuales para adultos.

James “Juno” Dawson en 2012

Campbell fue a quejarse a la bibliotecaria de Wasilla, KJ Martin-Albright, quien decidió que el libro estaba “archivado de forma apropiada“. Como respuesta, Campbell presentó una queja formal, y se convocó a un comité de tres miembros para investigar el asunto más a fondo. Aproximadamente 50 personas, muchas de ellas padres, acudieron a la primera reunión del Concejo Municipal de Wasilla para expresar sus preocupaciones. La semana siguiente, una multitud de ciudadanos asistieron a una segunda reunión, y un asistente comparó la prestación de tales materiales sexualmente explícitos a los niños con el “comportamiento pedófilo”.

Poco después de la polémica “pedófila”, Dawson declaró una identidad transgénero y adoptó el nombre de Juno. Más tarde diría sobre la situación: “Si alguien piensa que los adolescentes no están experimentando con drogas y viendo pornografía, se están engañando a sí mismos”. Dawson anunció su transición en una entrevista en febrero de 2016 con la revista Glamour después de ser contratado como columnista, solo tres meses después de que los padres comenzaran a quejarse de su guía sexual para niños.

A principios de este año, Dawson volvió a provocar críticas por sexualizar a los niños en una novela que publicó titulada Wonderland. Safe Schools Alliance UK contó cómo un padre encontró el libro en la biblioteca de la escuela secundaria de su hijo, y dio un resumen del contenido sexualmente explícito de Wonderland, que tiene como personaje principal a un niño que se identifica como una niña llamada Alice.

“Los tópicos de fantasía sexual masculina están presentes por todas partes. El libro comienza dentro de St. Agnes, un internado para niñas donde éstas no solo son sexualmente activas, sino que sus cuerpos son descritos como plagados de ITS (Infecciones de Transmisión Sexual)”, escribió Safe Schools Alliance.

El resumen continúa explicando las formas en que los niños son sexualizados en Wonderland. Alice dice: “El hecho de que yo exista es suficiente. El hecho de que sea joven es una ventaja. Soy una muñeca hinchable”. Sumado a esto, Alice se jacta de sus “turgentes tetitas”.

“Aunque estoy encantada con mis turgentes tetitas”, dice Alice, “me decepcionó profundamente que no me desapareciera el impulso de hacerme cortes con el primer miligramo de estrógeno que pasó por mis labios”.

Es alarmante que Alice, legalmente todavía una niña, tenga “una vida sexual activa en apps … con hombres casados que viven en ciudades vecinas”, facilitada por la “cultura del folleteo”. Tanto Waterstones como Amazon UK califican este libro como apropiado para niños de 12 años en adelante.

En el último libro de Dawson, escogido por la división local de Midlands del club de lectura de la Fawcett Society, Dawson cuenta que empezó a creerse que era mujer porque disfrutaba escuchando a Madonna y a las Spice Girls. Dawson generalmente prefería los programas más enfocados en los personajes femeninos, como Sexo en Nueva York, y confiesa un “privilegio masculino persistente” ya que “nunca me dijeron que no podía ser lo que me diera la gana, y yo quería ser Carrie”.

A pesar de decir que simpatiza con la perspectiva de las mujeres, Dawson dedica un capítulo entero de The Gender Games a lo que él llama las “Guerras TERF”. A lo largo del capítulo, Dawson se refiere a destacadas activistas por los derechos de las mujeres con un desprecio que no trata de ocultar. “No me importa lo que prefieras que te llamen, si ‘TERF’, ‘tránsfoba’ o ‘intolerante’, de verdad que no me importa”, escribe Dawson. El término “TERF” se utiliza con frecuencia para acosar y amenazar a las mujeres que cuestionan la ideología de identidad de género.

Continúa comparando el reconocimiento del sexo biológico con el racismo, específicamente usando mujeres negras y musulmanas para presentar su caso. “Si [mis críticas] hubieran dicho: ‘No me siento segura con las mujeres negras’… o ‘no me gusta subirme a los aviones con mujeres con hiyab’, con razón habríamos acusado a esas personas de ser intolerantes”, escribe. “Tal vez deberíamos silenciar la intolerancia”.

Dawson también restó importancia a los temores de las mujeres a la violencia sexual masculina al sugerir que las lesbianas representan una mayor amenaza para las mujeres que los hombres.

“No veo a nadie sugiriendo que se deba excluir a las lesbianas cisgénero de los vestuarios y baños de mujeres… y sin embargo ¿no serían ellas las que echaran ojeadas lascivas?” se pregunta Dawson.

Al hablar de su propia infancia, Dawson defiende el uso de los medicamentos comúnmente conocidos como bloqueadores de la pubertad.

“Hoy podría haber conseguido esas píldoras y haber evitado que mi cuerpo pasara por la pubertad de niño”, lamenta Dawson. Y regaña al lector, diciendo: “Ningún niño está ‘cambiando de sexo’, imbéciles”, y “la práctica [de detener la pubertad] se probó por primera vez en la Clínica Tavistock ya en 1992”.

Desde la publicación de The Gender Games en 2017, docenas de especialistas en salud han abandonado el Servicio de Desarrollo de Identidad de Género en la Clínica Tavistock por preocupaciones éticas.

“Me parece una terapia de conversión para niños homosexuales”, dijo un médico a The Times. Otra informante, que admitió tener pesadillas por lo que estaba haciendo, advirtió: “Están dañando los cuerpos de los niños para tratar problemas sociales … Lo describiría como una ‘atrocidad'”. Otra médica describió un caso que la “atormentó”, que tenía que ver con un padre que ella sospechaba que era un pedófilo que exigía drogas que bloquearan la pubertad para abusar de su hijo.

“Sabiendo lo que sé ahora, y con los modelos a seguir que tenemos, de ninguna manera hubiera dicho que era gay. Hubiera ido directamente a trans”, dijo Dawson a The Herald en 2017.

Las credenciales de Dawson incluyen ser modelo a seguir escolar para Stonewall y trabajar con la organización benéfica First Story, que organiza talleres de escritura y narración de cuentos en escuelas desfavorecidas.

Dawson aparece en el sitio web de la organización benéfica británica National Trust, y los derechos de televisión de su reciente libro The Gender Games han sido comprados por SunnyMarch, una compañía productora fundada por Benedict Cumberbatch.

UK Women’s Charity Promoting Trans Author Who Wrote “Pedophile” Sex Guide for Children

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

A local chapter of a UK women’s charity is under fire after promoting a book by a trans author who wrote an explicit sex guide for children, and who called being gay a “consolation prize” for men who weren’t transgender.

The Fawcett Society prompted outrage this week after promoting a book, The Gender Games, by transgender author Juno, born James, Dawson. The West Midlands Branch of the Society runs a monthly book club and announced July’s selection in a social media post made on Thursday.

The Eventbrite registration form associated with the book club meeting summarizes the book’s main themes and compares “exclusionist feminists” — a derisive term for women who believe sex cannot be changed — to “‘alt-right’ young men.”

The announcement was met with widespread criticism, and Fawcett West Midlands quickly locked its official Twitter account in response. Some feminists pointed out that the purpose of the charity was to advance women’s causes, but that they had failed to find a female author to promote the writing of.

Other netizens were quick to point out a homophobic comment Dawson made in 2017 during an interview with Attitude magazine, a publication targeted at gay men.

“A lot of gay men are gay men as a consolation prize, because they couldn’t be women,” said Dawson, in reference to his decision to identify as transgender. References to the comment were posted repeatedly beneath the book club announcement, with many demanding the Society address it.

Prior to self-identifying as a ‘woman,’ Dawson had worked as a primary school teacher and identified as a gay man. In 2014, he published a book titled This Book is Gay, which was marketed as a guide for children aged 13 and up. The book, written in childish vernacular intended to appeal to young readers, graphically taught children how to perform sex acts, as well as provided illustrations of the acts.

“A good handie is all about the wrist action. Rub the head of his c*ck back and forth with your hand. Try different speeds and pressures until he responds positively,” suggests Dawson in the book, who also gives instructions on oral and anal sex. “As with handies and breakfast eggs, all men like their blowies served in different ways.”

As reported in 2015 by The Guardian, the presence of Dawson’s book in the juvenile non-fiction section of a public library in Wasilla, Alaska, led parents to complain. After a 10-year-old boy accessed the book, his mother, Vanessa Campbell, was “shocked” to discover it contained frank drawings and descriptions of adult sex acts.

James “Juno” Dawson in 2012.

Campbell took the matter up with the Wasilla librarian, KJ Martin-Albright, who decided that the book was “appropriately shelved.” In response, Campbell lodged a formal complaint, and a three-member committee was convened to look into the matter further. Approximately 50 people, many of them parents, turned up to the first Wasilla City Council meeting to voice concerns. The following week, citizens attended a second meeting “in droves,” with one attendant comparing the provision of such sexually explicit materials to children to “pedophile behavior.”

Shortly after the “pedophile” controversy, Dawson declared a transgender identity and adopted the name Juno. He would later say of the situation: “If anyone thinks teens aren’t experimenting with drugs and looking at porn, they’re kidding themselves.” Dawson announced his transition in a February 2016 interview with Glamour magazine after being hired as a columnist there, just three months after parents began complaining about his sex guide for children.

Earlier this year, Dawson again prompted criticism for sexualizing children in a novel he released titled Wonderland. Safe Schools Alliance UK detailed how a parent found the book stocked in their child’s secondary school library, and provided a summary of the sexually explicit content contained in Wonderland, which has as its main character a young boy who identifies as a girl named Alice.

“Male sex fantasy tropes are present throughout. The book opens inside St. Agnes, an all-girls’ boarding school where the girls presented are not only sexually active, but their bodies are described as ridden with STIs,” the Safe Schools Alliance wrote.

The review continues to explain ways that children are sexualized in Wonderland. Alice states, “The fact I exist is enough. The fact I’m young is a bonus. I’m a blow-up doll.” Added to this Alice boasts about his “perky little boobs.”

“While I’m delighted with my perky little boobs,” Alice says, “I was profoundly disappointed that my urge to cut myself didn’t vanish with the first milligram of oestrogen to pass my lips.”

Disturbingly, Alice, legally still a child, is said to have “an active, app-based sex life… with married men from outlying commuter towns,” facilitated by “hook-up culture.” Both Waterstones and Amazon UK rate this book as appropriate for children over 12.

In Dawson’s latest book, chosen by the Midlands chapter of the Fawcett Society’s book club, Dawson describes how he first began to believe he was female because he enjoyed listening to Madonna and The Spice Girls. Dawson generally preferred media that centered female characters, including Sex and the City, and confesses to a “lingering male privilege” as he was “never told I couldn’t be exactly what I wanted to be, and I wanted to be Carrie”.

Despite professing to sympathize with a women’s perspective, Dawson devotes an entire chapter of The Gender Games to what he refers to as the “TERF Wars”. Throughout, Dawson refers to prominent women’s rights campaigners with unconcealed derision. “Whether you prefer ‘TERF’ or ‘transphobe’ or ‘bigot’, I don’t really care,” writes Dawson. The term “TERF” is frequently used to harass and threaten women who question gender identity ideology.

He goes on to compare the acknowledgement of biological sex to racism, specifically using black and Muslim women to make his case. “If [my critics] had said, ‘I don’t feel safe around black women,’… or ‘I don’t like getting on planes with women in hijabs,’ we would quite rightly have accused those people of being bigoted,” he writes. “Perhaps bigotry does need to be silenced.”

Dawson also shrugged off women’s fears of male sexual violence by suggesting that lesbians pose a greater threat to women than men.

“I don’t see anyone suggesting cisgender lesbians should be banned from women’s changing rooms and bathrooms… but if anyone was going to have a good old perv — wouldn’t it be them?” Dawson says.

When discussing his own childhood, Dawson defends the use of the drugs commonly referred to as puberty blockers.

“Now I’d have been able to get my hands on those pills and prevent my body from going through boy-puberty,” Dawson laments. He scolds the reader, saying, “No children are having ‘sex changes’, you morons,” and “the practice [of halting puberty] was first trialled at the Tavistock Clinic as far back as 1992.”

Since the publication of The Gender Games in 2017, dozens of health specialists have quit the Gender Identity Development Service at the Tavistock Clinic out of ethical concerns.

“It feels like conversion therapy for gay children,” one male clinician told The Times. Another whistleblower, who disclosed that she was having nightmares about what she was doing, warned, “Children’s bodies are being damaged in order to treat societal issues… I would talk about it as an ‘atrocity’.” Still another clinician described a case that “haunted” her, which involved a father she suspected of being a pedophile demanding puberty-blocking drugs in order to abuse his child.

“Knowing what I know now, and with the role models we have, there’s no way I would have said I was gay. I would have gone straight to trans,” Dawson told The Herald in 2017.

Dawson’s credentials include serving as a School Role Model for Stonewall and working with the charity First Story, which runs writing and storytelling workshops in underprivileged schools.

Dawson is featured on the website of the UK charity the National Trust, and television rights to his recent book The Gender Games have been purchased by SunnyMarch, a production company founded by Benedict Cumberbatch.
