“Lesbian Sex” Guide Advises That Lesbians May Have a Penis

By
Anna Slatz
-

Healthline is under fire for publishing an article in which it advises lesbian woman on “penis-in-vagina” sex, and warns about the risks of getting pregnant.

On August 1, medical information and lifestyle site Healthline updated a guidance article titled “How Do Lesbians Have Sex? 28 Things to Know Before Your First Time.” Like all Healthline publications, the article claims it was “medically reviewed” by a qualified doctor prior to posting, and in this case the professional listed is Dr. Janet Brito, whose bio states she is a “nationally certified Latinx sex therapist, supervisor, speaker, trainer, and author.”

The article starts out by informing readers that lesbian sex may not necessarily refer to sex between two women, and that one or both of the partners involved in the lesbian relationship may not even be female.

“‘Lesbian sex’ isn’t limited to cisgender couples. It also includes other people who have vaginas, people with penises, and people with intersex genitalia,” the article states, continuing: “So, whatever counts as ‘lesbian sex’ is really up to whoever is doing it.” The guidance also suggests both partners involved in the “lesbian sex” may have a penis, and also advises on the best positions for anal sex.

Throughout the article, Healthline asserts that a penis may be involved in lesbian sex, reminding readers that “just because you’re both women doesn’t mean you have the same genitals — for example, one person might be a cis woman with a vagina, while the other might be a trans woman with a penis.”

In a section of the guide on stimulation, Healthline provides guidance for lesbians on how to “manually stimulate someone who has a penis,” offering advice on “hand jobs” and orally stimulating the penis, scrotum, and perineum. The article also gives advice on penis-in-vagina and penis-in-anus sex.

Healthline also warns against pregnancy, advising birth control be used.

“It’s possible to get pregnant if one partner has a penis and another has a vagina,” it says, continuing: “often people assume that lesbians can’t get pregnant, or that lesbian sex can’t result in pregnancy. That’s a myth based on the assumption that both women are cisgender … If one partner is transgender and has a penis and the other is cisgender and has a vagina, they can have penis-in-vagina sex.”

The August 1 Healthline guide appears to be a re-publication of an earlier article released on July 22, though it is unclear what was changed in the update apart from the professional who conducted the “medical review.” Previously, the article had been “medically reviewed” by Jennifer Litner, who, similar to Brito, is not a medical doctor but a sex therapist.

After the guidance first began circulating on social media at the end of July, many users expressed outrage at the suggestion that lesbian sex could involve penises and risks of pregnancy, with some calling it “conversion therapy.”

Others noted that any sex that involved non-females was, by definition, not lesbian sex.

This isn’t the first time Healthline has experienced backlash for an overly “woke” article. The site has multiple resource guides referring to women as “vulva owners,” “menstruators,” and “pregnant people.” In an article published last year, lesbianism was defined as a “non-man” who is romantically or sexually interested in “non-men.”

Speaking to Reduxx on the Healthline guidance, Canadian lesbian activist Eva Kurilova rejected the suggestions as being “outright harmful” to same-sex attracted women.

“No, HealthLine, lesbian sex does not involve a penis and does not come with the possibility of pregnancy.”

Kurilova is a journalist with Gender Dissent, an outlet and organization which describes itself as focused on “examining and exposing the powerful corporate and political connections” behind gender ideology.

“[Resources for lesbians] are already hard to find without stumbling upon pornographic content. This ‘lesbian sex’ guide contributes to the problem by erasing the reality of female homosexuality and using it for further male validation,” Kurilova said.

“It also steps right into conversion therapy territory by framing ‘lesbian sex’ as sex that might just happen to include a penis. This kind of messaging makes it harder for lesbians to maintain sexual boundaries and refuse the advances of males who ‘identify’ as lesbians.”

Activist campaigns and rhetoric targeted at demanding lesbians be sexually receptive to including trans-identified males in their dating pool have seen sharp increases in recent years, with trans activists labelling exclusive female homosexuality as “the cotton ceiling.” The term was inspired by the concept of the “glass ceiling,” which is used to describe discrimination women face in the workplace that prevents them for reaching upper management levels. The “cotton” refers to the material of a women’s underwear, and frames a lesbian’s refusal to have sexual relations with males as a form of discrimination. 

In July, during the employment tribunal hearing of lesbian barrister Allison Bailey, a lawyer argued that a “cotton ceiling” workshop intended to deconstruct lesbian sexual barriers was “similar to South Africa attempting to racially integrate society.”

Over the past two months, lesbians in multiple countries have reported experiencing assault, intimidation, or abuse at pride marches or women’s activist events.

On August 7, a lesbian activist in Germany filed a police report after being assaulted by trans activists at the Dyke March Hamburg for holding a sign which defined lesbian as a “female homosexual.”

OPINION: Transitioning Dead Women

By
Shay Woulahan
-

According to historian Bettany Hughes, of all written and recorded history, only 0.5% is about women despite women consistently making up about 50% of the population.

But though the odds were stacked against them, many incredible women and girls defied the often-oppressive confines of their gender roles to become recognizable household names. This is a positive. After all, little girls having a diverse range of same-sex figures to look up to and be inspired by should be, by all accounts, a good thing. And, surely, no one would stand in opposition to recognizing the great women of history who have such little space to shine as it is, right?

Ha! Wrong!

In recent years, gender ideologues have taken their great eraser to the textbooks of history in an attempt to redefine and otherwise revise the record to insert themselves where they were never before mentioned. As in all other issues, the ideologues are particularly heavy-handed when it comes to women.

History’s great females have not been spared the influence of gender ideology, which, itself is historically non-existent. After all, modern gender theory is a new concept. The concept of gender as we understand it was coined in the 1960s by disgraced sexologist John Money. The term “transgender” was also coined in the 1960s but only gained popularity in recent years. Similarly, “non-binary” has existed only since the 1990s.

Applying terms related to “gender identity” to individuals who existed long before the terms did is moot, and more of a type of bizarre fan fiction than anything else.

But that hasn’t stopped the trans-historians of trans-history. Armed with sexist stereotypes, they have been marching through history’s great women, so kindly “correcting” the record of their lives where they have determined one or another wasn’t sufficiently “womanly” enough. All in the name of smashing the gender binary, of course.

The most recent example of this is the Sainted Joan of Arc. Joan was a French heroine that led the French army to victory against the English in 1429, purportedly after receiving divine guidance to do so. As she led troops into battle, she donned more practical men’s clothes and armor. After being captured by the English in 1430, she was tried in a kangaroo court on charges of witchcraft, heresy, and defying the divine law for having dressed as a man. She was burned alive in 1431 at the age of 19.

An incredible story of an inspiring, powerful woman.

… Until now.

On August 11, London-based theatre Shakespeare’s Globe announced it’s upcoming play I, Joan, which would re-write her story to make her non-binary who utilized ‘they/them’ pronouns.

In their description of the play it reads, “Rebelling against the world’s expectations, questioning the gender binary, Joan finds their power and their belief spreads like fire.”

While it is true that Joan defied the world’s expectations of her, play writer Charlie Josephine’s implication that she was less of a woman for doing so only reinforces these societal expectations of what a woman should be.

Calling Joan “they” instead of “she” does nothing to question the gender binary. Rather than acknowledging that Joan was a woman who overcame the expectations imposed upon her because of her sex, Joesphine suggests that being a woman is nothing more than adherence to those very expectations.

Rejecting gender roles such as femininity and submissiveness is to reject womanhood itself. The gender binary is not being questioned, it is being upheld in the most extreme way possible. Part of the reasons cited by the English for Joan’s execution was her gender non-conformity. Nearly 600 years later, and the message is still the same; women don’t act this way, women don’t dress this way, women aren’t warriors, women aren’t leaders. 

Unsurprisingly, this is not the first time Joan has been posthumously transitioned.

The controversial private gender clinic, GenderGP published an article on their website in 2021 titled “Non-binary people in history: Why aren’t they recognized?” and included Joan of Arc in their breakdown.

“The famous French warrior Joan of Arc used female pronouns, but when she was called by God, took up exclusively masculine clothing and social roles,” it read.

Groundbreaking.

Unfortunately, Joan is not the only woman who has had her womanhood stripped from her for not conforming to their stereotypical sex-role.

A blog post referred to the founder of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale, by he/him pronouns because she sometimes called herself a “man of action” and a “man of science,” and had a close, documented relationship with a female friend. They argued that it was far more likely that she was a man than a lesbian.

The author of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott, has also been described as “trans” by both activists and Queer news outlet LGBTQ Nation. A tweet from earlier this year wracked up over 34,000 likes after a round-bespectacled gender special firmly declared Alcott was transgender.

It is true… Alcott often expressed wishing she had been born a boy. But was is the likelihood she simply envied the freedom that was afforded to boys and men during the time period in which she lived?

Struggling to conform to gender stereotypes and female socialization is a major theme of Alcott’s most famous novel. The novel tells the coming of age stories of four sisters, two of the sisters, Amy and Jo initially attempt to break free from the constraints of gender roles. The novel questions the validity of gender stereotypes for both men and women. But the commentary of Alcott’s novel, though published in 1868, are apparently too progressive for modern day trans activists who see Alcott’s and her characters rejection of gender roles as a sign they were really men.

Another example of a woman “transed” posthumously is diarist and landlord, Anne Lister, has been the topic of heated debates over the last several years due to a plaque honoring her originally excluding the word lesbian.

Lister did not identify as a lesbian, because the term was not in use at the time, but in her diaries she said she only loved the “fairer sex” and described her relationships with women. Lister also took communion with another woman in what has been described as the first lesbian wedding in the UK. But activists have argued that due to the fact Lister dressed in masculine clothing and adopted the nickname “gentleman Jack, ” she was really transgender.

Unsurprisingly, historical lesbians are among the most likely to be posthumously transitioned, which does nothing but demonstrate that lesbophobia runs deep within gender ideology. Subscribers to this world view even go as far as to say having affairs and relationships with women is a sign that a woman is not truly female.

There is no where this is more demonstrated than in the historical revisionism surrounding “female husbands.” This was a rare phenomenon through the 17th – 19th centuries in which women attempted to live as men, and sometimes even married women in the process.

One of the most noted “female husbands” was Sarah Paul, who went by the name Samuel Bundy. Paul was sent to prison after being convicted of defrauding a woman named Mary Parlour by marrying her as a man, but Parlour is largely believed to have been pressured by her community into pressing charges against Paul as she had known Paul was a woman throughout their relationship.

Other “female husbands” had similar stories, though in some cases, their female partner was truly ignorant to their true sex and was quite surprised to discover they hadn’t married a man, such as in the case of Mary Hamilton.

In 2020, Jen Manion released a book asserting that effectively every “female husband” was either transgender or non-binary, totally skipping over the possibility they simply could have been lesbian women or women who just wanted the same freedoms as men had. This claim has been repeated in the Guardian as recently as last year. Interestingly, it appears that most sources pre-2019 viewed the “female husbands” largely as lesbian women seeking to live in peace with their partners.

The proponents of transitioning these dead women love to claim their intentions are rooted in smashing the gender binary and defying gender norms, but, without fail, the subtext is always identical to the narrative of most extremist of misogynistic traditionalists. So rapidly do the gender binary smashers become the gender binary gestapo.

Women cannot be women unless they act, dress, love, and conform in very specific ways.

A fantastic example of that is the female Viking warrior who was recently posthumously transed because of the way in which she was buried.

In the 1870s, when her 10th century grave was first uncovered, the Viking warrior was originally assumed to be male because of how she was buried. But in 2017, with the advancement of forensic science, she was determined to have been female. Rather than being both curious and excited for the prospect to learn of a great female soldier, the revelation left academics scrambling to argue that she may have been “transgender, non-binary or gender fluid.”

Despite this being promoted as the “progressive” viewpoint, it almost twins the line of thinking of the original researchers who undercover the bones in the 1870s. Both saw a skeleton buried with honor and with weapons and thought: “This can’t be a woman, women can’t be warriors.”

Throughout history, remarkable women have rejected gender roles and shown the generations of women that came after them that there were many ways to be a woman. They showed us that woman can be scientists, warriors, writers and much more. They carved out a path for women who wanted to have short hair, or wear masculine clothing, or love other women, or even live independent of men. Now, gender ideologues are trying to regress society back to the rigid view of what women and men should be. If a woman does not adhere to these ideas, she must not really be a woman.

In this moment, I am reminded of the opening of Joan of Arc’s trial, historical records showing her persecutors referred to her gender bending behavior.

They called her disgraceful for “putting on the clothing of the male sex,” labelling it a “Striking and vile monstrosity” which disregarded “what is honorable in the female sex.”

If only they’d known she was non-binary!

OPINIÓN: Transicionando mujeres muertas

By
Shay Woulahan
-

Según la historiadora Bettany Hughes, de toda la historia escrita y registrada, solo el 0,5% trata sobre mujeres. a pesar de que las mujeres constituyen consistentemente alrededor del 50% de la población.

Pero aún con todas las probabilidades en su contra, muchas mujeres y niñas increíbles desafiaron los confines a menudo opresivos de sus roles de género para convertirse en nombres fácilmente reconocibles. Eso es positivo. Después de todo, que las niñas tengan una amplia gama de personajes del mismo sexo a las que admirar y en quien inspirarse deberían ser, obviamente, algo bueno. Y, por supuesto, nadie se opondría a reconocer a las grandes mujeres de la historia que ya tienen tan poco espacio para brillar de por sí, ¿verdad?

¡Ja! ¡Falso!

En los últimos años, los ideólogos de género han pasado sus enormes gomas de borrar por los libros de texto de historia en un intento de redefinir y corregir documentos para meterse donde nunca antes habían sido mencionados. Como en todos los demás temas, los ideólogos son particularmente duros cuando se trata de mujeres.

Las grandes mujeres de la historia no se han librado de la influencia de la ideología de género que es, en sí misma, históricamente inexistente. Después de todo, la teoría de género moderna es un concepto nuevo. El concepto de género tal como lo entendemos fue acuñado en la década de los 60 por el sexólogo caído en desgracia John Money (aquí en español). El término “transgénero” también se acuñó en la década de los 60, pero no ganó popularidad hasta hace unos años. Del mismo modo, “no binario” no existía  hasta la década de los 90.

Aplicar términos relacionados con la “identidad de género” a individuos que existieron mucho antes que esos términos no tiene objeto, y es más un tipo de fan fiction extraño que otra cosa.

Pero eso no ha detenido a los trans-historiadores de la trans-historia. Armados con estereotipos sexistas, han pasado revista a las grandes mujeres de la historia, y han “corregido” amablemente el testimonio de las vidas de aquellas que, en su opinión, no eran lo suficientemente “femeninas”. Todo en nombre de romper el binarismo de género, por supuesto.

El ejemplo más reciente es Juana de Arco. Juana fue una heroína francesa que llevó al ejército francés a la victoria contra los ingleses en 1429, supuestamente después de recibir inspiración divina. Cuando conducía a las tropas a la batalla, se ponía ropa y armadura de hombre por ser más prácticas. Después de ser capturada por los ingleses en 1430, fue juzgada en un tribunal popular por cargos de brujería, herejía y por desafiar la ley divina por haberse vestido de hombre. Fue quemada viva en 1431 a la edad de 19 años.

Una historia increíble de una mujer inspiradora y poderosa.

… Hasta ahora.

El 11 de agosto, el teatro londinense Shakespeare’s Globe anunció su próxima obra I, Joan (Yo, Juana), que iba a reescribir la historia para volver a Juana no binaria y hacer que utilizara los pronombres “elle/elles”.

En la descripción de la obra se lee: “Rebelándose contra las expectativas del mundo, cuestionando el binarismo de género, Joan encuentra su (de elle) fuerza y su (de elle) fe se extiende como el fuego”.

Si bien es cierto que Joan desafió las expectativas del mundo sobre ella, la implicación de la escritora Charlie Josephine (no binarie) de que era menos mujer por hacerlo, no hace más que reforzar estas expectativas sociales de lo que debería ser una mujer.

Llamar a Joan “elle” en lugar de “ella” no hace nada por cuestionar el binarismo de género. En lugar de reconocer que Joan fue una mujer que superó las expectativas que se le impusieron debido a su sexo, Josephine sugiere que ser mujer no es más que el cumplimiento de esas mismas expectativas.

Rechazar los roles de género como la feminidad y la sumisión es rechazar la condición misma de mujer. El binarismo de género no está siendo cuestionado, está siendo ratificado de la manera más extrema posible. Parte de las razones citadas por los ingleses para la ejecución de Joan fue su inconformidad de género. Casi 600 años después, y el mensaje sigue siendo el mismo; las mujeres no actúan de esta manera, las mujeres no se visten de esta manera, las mujeres no son guerreras, las mujeres no son líderes.

Como era de esperar, esta no es la primera vez que Joan ha sido sometida a una transición póstuma.

La polémica clínica privada de género, GenderGP publicó un artículo en su sitio web en 2021 titulado “Personas no binarias en la historia: ¿Por qué no son reconocidas?” e incluyó a Juana de Arco en su desglose.

“La famosa guerrera francesa Juana de Arco usaba pronombres femeninos, pero cuando fue llamada por Dios, asumió ropa y roles sociales exclusivamente masculinos”.

Revolucionario.

Desafortunadamente, Joan no es la única mujer a la que se le ha despojado de su condición de mujer por no ajustarse a su estereotipo de rol sexual.

Una publicación de blog usaba pronombres masculinos para referirse a la fundadora de la enfermería moderna, Florence Nightingale,  porque a veces se llamaba a sí misma un “hombre de acción” y un “hombre de ciencia”, y tenía una estrecha y bien documentada relación con una amiga. Argumentaban que era mucho más probable que fuera un hombre que una lesbiana.

La autora de Mujercitas, Louisa May Alcott, también ha sido descrita como “trans” tanto por activistas como por el medio de noticias queer LGBTQ Nation. Un tweet de principios de este año se llevó más de 34,000 me gusta cuando una persona de género especial con gafas redondas declarara firmemente que Alcott era transgénero.

Es cierto… Alcott a menudo expresaba su deseo de haber nacido un niño. Pero, ¿no era más probable que simplemente envidiara la libertad que se les daba a los niños y hombres durante el período en el que vivió?

Luchar por ajustarse a los estereotipos de género y la socialización femenina es un tema importante de la novela más famosa de Alcott. La novela cuenta las historias del paso de la pubertad de cuatro hermanas, dos de las cuales, Amy y Jo, inicialmente intentan liberarse de las limitaciones de los roles de género. La novela cuestiona la validez de los estereotipos de género tanto para hombres como para mujeres. Pero la novela de Alcott, aunque publicada en 1868, es aparentemente demasiado progresistas para los modernos activistas trans que ven el rechazo de Alcott y sus personajes a los roles de género como una señal de que realmente eran hombres.

Otro ejemplo de una mujer “transeada” póstumamente es la diarista y terrateniente, Anne Lister, que ha sido objeto de acalorados debates en los últimos años debido a una placa en su honor que originalmente excluía la palabra lesbiana.

Lister no se identificaba como lesbiana, porque el término no estaba en uso en aquel momento, pero en sus diarios decía que solo amaba el “bello sexo” y describía sus relaciones con las mujeres. Lister también recibió el sacramento con otra mujer en lo que se ha calificado como la primera boda lesbiana en el Reino Unido. Pero los activistas argumentan que, debido al hecho de que Lister se vestía con ropa masculina y había adoptado el apodo de “gentleman Jack”, era en realidad transgénero.

Como era de esperar, las lesbianas históricas se encuentran entre las más propensas a ser transicionadas póstumamente, lo que no hace más que demostrar que la lesbofobia está profundamente arraigada en la ideología de género. Los partidarios de esta visión del mundo llegan incluso a decir que tener aventuras y relaciones con mujeres es una señal de que una mujer no es realmente una mujer.

Y en ningún sitio está esto más demostrado que en el revisionismo histórico que rodea a las “mujeres maridos”. Este fue un fenómeno raro ocurrido entre los siglos XVII y XIX por el cual algunas mujeres intentaban vivir como hombres, y a veces incluso se casaron con otras mujeres en el proceso.

Una de las “mujeres maridos” más notables fue Sarah Paul, que se hacía llamar Samuel Bundy. Paul fue encarcelada después de ser declarada culpable de estafar a una mujer llamada Mary Parlour al casarse con ella como hombre, pero se cree que Parlour fue presionado por su comunidad para presentar cargos contra Paul, ya que sabía que Paul era una mujer a lo largo de su relación.

Otras “mujeres maridos” cuentan historias similares, aunque en algunos casos, su pareja femenina era realmente ignorante de su verdadero sexo y se sorprendió bastante al descubrir que no se habían casado con un hombre, como en el caso de Mary Hamilton.

En 2020, Jen Manion sacó un libro donde afirmaba que de hecho las “mujeres marido” eran transgénero o no binarias, omitiendo totalmente la posibilidad de que pudieran haber sido simplemente lesbianas o mujeres que solo querían las mismas libertades que tenían los hombres. Esta afirmación se ha repetido en The Guardian tan recientemente como el año pasado. Curiosamente, parece que la mayoría de las fuentes anteriores a 2019 veían a las “mujeres maridos” en gran medida como lesbianas que buscaban vivir en paz con sus parejas.

A los defensores de la transición de estas mujeres muertas les encanta afirmar que sus intenciones radican en romper el binarismo de género y desafiar las normas de género, pero, sin excepción, el subtexto siempre es idéntico a la narrativa de los más extremistas de los tradicionalistas misóginos. Así de rápido los destructores del binarismo de género se convierten en la gestapo del binarismo de género.

Las mujeres no pueden ser mujeres a menos que actúen, se vistan, se conforme y amen de maneras muy específicas.

Un ejemplo fantástico de eso es la guerrera vikinga que recientemente fue transeada póstumamente debido a la forma en que fue enterrada.

En la década de los 70 del siglo XIX, cuando su tumba del siglo XX fue descubierta, se asumió en un principio que la guerrera vikinga era un hombre debido a cómo fue enterrada. Pero en 2017, con el avance de la ciencia forense, se descubrió que era una mujer. En lugar de sentir curiosidad y entusiasmo por la perspectiva de conocer a una gran soldado, la revelación dejó a los académicos intentando argumentar que pudo haber sido “transgénero, no binaria o de género fluido“.

A pesar de que esto se promueve como el punto de vista “progresista”, es una línea de pensamiento casi idéntica a la de los investigadores originales que descubrieron los huesos en 1870. Ambos vieron un esqueleto enterrado con honor y con armas y pensaron: “Esto no puede ser una mujer, las mujeres no pueden ser guerreras”.

A lo largo de la historia, mujeres notables han rechazado los roles de género y han demostrado a las generaciones de mujeres que vinieron después de ellas que había muchas maneras de ser mujer. Nos mostraron que las mujeres pueden ser científicas, guerreras, escritoras y mucho más. Abrieron un camino para las mujeres que querían llevar el pelo corto, o usar ropa masculina, o amar a otras mujeres, o incluso vivir independientemente de los hombres. Ahora, los ideólogos de género están tratando de hacer retroceder a la sociedad a la visión rígida de lo que deberían ser las mujeres y los hombres. Si una mujer no se adhiere a estas ideas, no puede ser realmente una mujer.

Me recuerda al inicio del juicio de Juana de Arco: los registros históricos muestran que sus perseguidores se refirieron a su rebeldía hacia los estereotipos de género.

La llamaron escandalosa por “ponerse ropa del sexo masculino”, calificándola de “monstruosidad llamativa y vil” que ignoraba “lo que es honorable en el sexo femenino”.

¡Ah, si supieran que era no binaria!

Miss Transgender Peru Arrested on Human Trafficking Charges in Belgium

By
Jennifer Sieland
-

A two-time Miss Transgender Peru winner has been arrested in Belgium after reportedly trafficking people into the sex trade, making some of them veritable slaves in Europe’s most famous legal red light districts.

Celeste Rivasplata, 34, is a widely known social media influencer in Peru for having won two national Miss Transgender titles in 2019 and 2021, as well as Miss International Peru that same year. But Rivasplata, a biological male who identifies as a woman, is now facing human trafficking charges after police became aware he was running an international sexual exploitation ring with one dozen victims.

Rivasplata in Columbia, July 2021. Source: @celesterivasplataofical/INSTAGRAM

According to La Meuse, Rivasplata would solicit vulnerable trans-identified young people from Peru, offering them a better life in Belgium.

While the exact ages of the victims is unknown, Rivasplata’s father would collect fees from them in Peru prior to their departure to Belgium. Once they arrived, Rivasplata would strip them of their passports and tell them their debt could only be paid through prostitution. The victims were also threatened that their families back in Peru would be harmed if they did not comply.

Rivasplata rented apartments and hotel rooms in 6 cities in Belgium where prostitution had some legal protections, as well as in Utrecht, Netherlands, where he housed the victims, leaving them with nothing more than food. He then placed ads featuring the victims on the internet, including on red light district escorting websites, and handled the bookings. Clients were charged €150 to €300 for “passes” that then gave them access to their chosen victim.

The money Rivasplata collected was apparently laundered using an international wire transfer agency back to Peru, with some administrators being paid a bribe to not log Rivasplata’s identification with every transaction.

Rivasplata was arrested on July 7 after police became aware of the operation and connected him to the trafficking victims through digital means. He was jailed in a women’s holding cell in Berkendael prior to being released without conditions after a €7,000 bail was paid on Wednesday.

In local news reports on Rivasplata’s charges, he was referred to using feminine pronouns.

In 2019, Rivasplata was featured on multiple Peruvian television programs after the country introduced gender self-identification laws. In one interview, Rivasplata stated that previous Peruvian policies not allowing him to change his legal markers were unfair because he “felt like a woman” and wanted to be perceived and treated as one.

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

By
Anna Slatz
-

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. Photo Credit: University of Manchester.

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.”
