EVENT: Feminists vs. The Law

By
Reduxx Team
-

Reduxx is proud to announce our first-ever live Twitter Space intended to amplify the stories and struggles of two incredible feminist activists facing legal consequences for making factual statements.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

Isabela Cêpa is a Brazilian feminist influencer well-known in Brazil for her advocacy on the issues of sexual and domestic violence. In June, Cêpa learned through news articles that she is being threatened with up to 25 years in prison after being charged with 5 counts of a hate-based crime for calling a trans-identified male politician a “man.” She still has no formal copy of the charges being levied against her.

Christina Ellingsen is a Norwegian feminist and the head of Women’s Declaration International’s Norway branch. In May, Ellingsen learned she was being criminally investigated for tweets and comments she had made directed at a representative of trans activist group Foreningen FRI. Ellingsen’s charges are largely centered around her questioning why FRI promoted the incorrect belief that men could be lesbians. While police are still investigating, Ellingsen could face a prison sentence of up to 3 years if she is charged and found guilty. READ MORE

ABOUT THE EVENT

What: A live interview-style discussion ins which Isabela and Christina will provide insight into their legal cases and feminist activism.

When: Friday, July 22, at 3 p.m Central Standard Time [9 p.m London, 4 p.m Eastern, 1 p.m Pacific]

Where: The space will be available to listen in live on Twitter for users on both mobile and desktop. Simply navigate to our Twitter page at the time of the event for the link.

Q&A: Reduxx will be making an attempt to allow for a fixed-number of questions to be asked by the audience at the end of the live interview, but we ask you to keep in mind that both Isabela and Christina are in precarious legal positions, and may not be able to answer every question posed to them.

Child Sex Abuse Dolls Are Being Made In The Likeness Of Real Children

By
Caitlin Roper
-

Collective Shout campaigner Lyn Swanson Kennedy has uncovered troves of child sex abuse dolls on leading e-commerce platform Made-in-China. The dolls were modeled on the bodies of little girls, including toddlers, and the smallest was just under 3 feet tall.

At least one child sex abuse doll manufacturer on Made-in-China offered to customize dolls based on a customer-supplied photo of a child. In addition to customizable skin color, eye color, hair, foot function and genitalia options – all of which is not uncommon – the seller assured potential buyers that their “professional doll mould team” could accommodate their request for a doll made in the likeness of a specific girl. 

Lyn exposed Made-in-China on Twitter, and as a result of the backlash, the child sex abuse doll listings have since been removed. But the question still remains of how many of these dolls were modeled on actual girls?

While researching the trade in sex dolls, I have documented a number of doll manufacturers who not only customize dolls, but encourage potential buyers to send in a photo of the woman or child they want their doll to resemble. I’ve read the accounts of women who have discovered sex dolls made in their likeness (sometimes even given their name, too). I’ve witnessed conversations on pedophile forums where men discuss their use of dolls modeled on girls in their care. 

The customization of child sex abuse dolls in the likeness of specific girls poses a serious threat. 

In 2020, Child Rescue Coalition published the account of an American mother named Terri whose eight-year-old daughter Kat, a child model and pageant contestant, had her likeness stolen and turned into a child sex abuse doll. Terri had received images of the doll sold on Amazon from a friend via a message on Facebook, and when she opened them she was shocked to discover they looked like her daughter. One picture appeared to recreate a photo she had shared to a Facebook group.

A photograph of Terri’s 8-year-old daughter Kat was used to produce a child sex abuse doll in her likeness.

Terri told Child Rescue Coalition that the doll in the image had the same facial features and pose as her daughter, that it was dressed in the same sweatshirt and socks, and was photographed alongside a stuffed animal as seen in the original image. 

“I read the message from my friend and saw the image, and I instantly started to cry uncontrollably. I was completely overwhelmed with a mix of emotions that I’ve never felt before… I couldn’t imagine that some sicko would use my daughter’s photo to create something so ugly and evil to be used for abuse by pedophiles.”

An investigation spearheaded by Melinda Liszewski of Collective Shout exposed Etsy sellers producing child sex abuse dolls modelled on actual children. When Liszewski posed as a potential buyer, one seller told her a certain doll was modelled on a 14-year-old Instagram model.

Liszewski then sent the seller computer-generated images of non-existing girls and asked the seller if they could produce dolls made in their likeness, to which the seller agreed.

Pedophiles are celebrating the prospect of sex dolls and robots modelled on specific children. One participant on a 4Chan board where users were exchanging images of little girls even expressed his desire for a sex robot made in the likeness of a specific child model on Instagram.

In a thread on a separate pedophile forum, child sex abuse doll manufacturer and creator of The Doll Orphanage, Bram Joosten, quoted a potential buyer $6,000 to produce a sex doll modeled on photos of a specific little girl. “Babies [and] toddlers are just so chubby I can’t help but melt,” the customer gushed.

Joosten was also found to be selling explicitly realistic dolls of babies which came complete with penetrable genitals.

Despite what doll advocates, pedophiles and their sympathizers claim, creating replica children for male sexual pleasure is not a victimless industry.

Child sex abuse dolls facilitate a new form of technologically-mediated child sexual abuse, one where men can enact their fantasies of rape, abuse and torture of specific children using customized dolls.

Customizable child sex abuse dolls allow men to enact their fantasies of raping and abusing children despite physical distance – to violate children without ever having access to them, without even knowing them or having ever come into contact with them. Pedophiles can download photos of girls shared on social media, or take a photo of a child in a public place with their smartphone, and commission a sex doll in their likeness.

While a few countries and states have implemented laws against child sex abuse dolls, there is still a long way to go.

Uniform, global laws criminalizing the manufacturing and import of child sex abuse dolls do not currently exist, and some pedophile-sympathetic groups like Prostasia have made headway campaigning on the concept that child sex dolls are “harmless” and could even provide a “therapeutic” outlet for pedophiles.

Disturbingly, an academic who agreed with Prostasia’s ideas on providing pedophiles “fantasy outlets” for their abusive desires was just hired at the Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse, demonstrating just how widespread the push for normalization has become.

Trans-Identified Male Killed Dog Before Murdering Female Patient At Psych Ward

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

New details have emerged in the disturbing case of a trans-identified male who brutally murdered a woman in a psychiatric ward in Haar, Germany.

The 32-year old male suspect had slaughtered his pet dog the day he was admitted to the psychiatric ward at Isar-Amper-Klinikum in Haar, Germany, where he would go on to murder a female patient less than 24 hours later.

The man has not been identified by name, but local media has revealed he is from Brazil. The homicide took place on the night of May 30 at a psychiatric ward where he had just been provided a room without any appropriate restrictions, despite warnings from authorities that he posed a serious threat to others.

Police spokesman Marc Aigner told the press that officers had detained the suspect in Munich’s old town that evening after he was discovered in an “exceptional mental situation,” and subsequently declared him a danger to himself and others. He was then sent to the psychiatric facility where he would commit the murder the next day.

Stephan Beer, head of the homicide division for the police force, described the suspect by saying, “She is male in terms of sex, [and] female in [gender] appearance.”

While the investigation is still underway, police reports indicate that the night of the murder, the killer beat the victim, a 40-year-old woman from Hungary, over the head with an iron bar more than 20 times. He then placed mattresses and clothes on the woman’s body and set it ablaze.

The trans-identified male was found near the fire, with an iron rod in one hand and a lighter in the other. According to the Munich police, the fire department was notified of a fire at the hospital at approximately 10 a.m. The body of the victim was discovered as the flames were being extinguished, on the morning of May 31.

An article published by local media outlet the Munich Merkur revealed that the suspect was known to the police, having been investigated for assault four times prior to the homicide.

Yet the psychiatric clinic ignored a warning from law enforcement and the health department and decided that there was “no indication of a current risk,” and did not implement any procedures to prevent the male contact with any other patients in the hospital.

According to the authorities in the Upper Bavaria district, which is responsible for the hospital, patients at the facility are not usually restricted to their own accommodations and can about move freely on the ward.

It is currently not known where the suspect is being held, and no details on potential charges have been released by police as the investigation is still ongoing.

World Health Organization: “Sex is Not Limited to Male or Female”

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that it will be updating a “widely-used gender mainstreaming manual” to include the notion that “gender identity exists on a continuum” and that even biological sex “is not limited to male or female.”

According to a notice posted to the Organization’s official website on July 6, revisions to the Gender mainstreaming for health managers: a practical approach will include “expanding on the concept of intersectionality” to reflect “new scientific evidence and conceptual progress on gender.”

Updates to guidelines will be “going beyond binary approaches to gender,” which the UN’s leading health body states will be integrated into their “approaches” and work internationally.

While it is unclear how, precisely, the guidelines will be implemented, women’s rights advocates have expressed concern that it will impact sex-based healthcare services under The WHO’s guidance. The Organization is responsible for collecting and tracking global health statistics and trends, and has close partnerships in many developing countries where women and girls experience the largest burdens to safe, appropriate healthcare.

Speaking with Reduxx on the upcoming changes, evolutionary biologist Colin Wright condemned the WHO’s notice as setting a confusing and dangerous precedent. Wright is the Founding Editor of Reality’s Last Stand, a Substack-based publication where news and information on the science of sex differences is discussed.

“I think it is really dangerous that gender ideology and sex spectrum pseudoscience has infected a global health body. The consequences of distorting reality in medicine can have extremely disastrous consequences,” Wright says.

“The sex binary reflects a fundamental truth of not only humans, but mammals generally. Countless scientific reviews support the need to include sex as a binary variable in medicine, and outline the consequences of not doing so.”

In an article published earlier this year, researchers found that even so-called “gender neutral” language in maternal healthcare had “consequences” that would result in “serious implications for women and children.”

Wright explains that he is currently unclear as to what evidence or “conceptual progress” on biological sex that WHO is referring to, but guesses it may have something to do with persons born with disorders of sexual development (DSDs) — also known as “intersex” people. While trans activists have recently begun pushing DSDs as evidence that sex is not binary, Wright cautions against that argument.

“The term ‘intersex’ does not refer to a third sex, but is rather an umbrella term for a range of developmental conditions that result in sexually ambiguous genitalia. For there to be more than two sexes, there would need to be another type of sex cell beyond sperm or ova that one’s primary reproductive anatomy can be organized around, through development, to produce.”

Wright continues: “Medical experts at the WHO should be intimately aware of this. And if they aren’t aware, that seriously calls into question the expertise of the WHO’s leadership. But if they are aware, that’s perhaps even more troubling because it means they stayed silent or stepped aside out of fear and have allowed activists to run the show. Both scenarios are incredibly troubling to consider.”

This is not the first time the WHO has shown signs of adhering to an ideological standpoint, rather than fact-based science.

In 2018, the WHO updated the 11th revision of the International Classifications of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11) after heeding the demands of the Norwegian Organization for Sexual and Gender Diversity (FRI). The FRI’s push was intended to have the WHO officially depathologize fetishism, sadomasochism, and fetishistic transvestitism by removing them from the ICD.

This most recent update to WHO’s ICD guidelines was also lobbied for with the assistance of Peggy T. Cohen-Kettenis, a Professor of Gender Development and Psychopathology at the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Amsterdam University.

Cohen-Kettenis was partially responsible for the development of the “Dutch Protocol,” a euphemism that refers to the administration of drugs to halt a child’s puberty.

The WHO has also drawn criticism in the past for crafting policies which appeared to undermine the equality of the sexes. In 2016, journalist Victoria Smith called out a statement by WHO which declared that every individual — including single men — had “the right” to reproduce.

“All feminists — and indeed anyone serious about tackling patriarchy at the root — should be deeply concerned about the World Health Organization’s new definition of infertility,” Smith wrote in an article for The New Statesman at the time.

The standard suggested by WHO indicated that the inability to either find a suitable sexual partner, or the lack of sexual relationships which could achieve conception, could be considered a disability equal to infertility.

Declaring it a ‘right’ also implied that measures must always be available to provide equity for those who could not reproduce, such as maintaining the legality of surrogacy — an industry many feminists challenge the legitimacy of on the basis that it dehumanizes women.

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

By
Jennifer Sieland
-

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
Jennifer Sieland
-

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

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.
