A Drag Queen who performed in front of children has been charged with 25 counts of child sexual abuse media possession after a lengthy investigation by law enforcement officials connected him to a disturbing Dropbox account.
Brice Patric Ryschon Williams is currently being held at Franklin County Jail in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania on a $100,000 bail he was unable to post. He has been charged with 25 counts of felony Class 2 child pornography, and 18 counts of criminal use of a communications facility.
According to the Tri-State Alert, Williams was nabbed after a lengthy investigation by law enforcement officials after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) submitted a tip to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General’s Child Predator Section in May of 2020.
The tip noted that over 70 pieces of child sexual exploitation media had been uploaded to Dropbox, and the email associated with the account belonged to an account named ‘Ana D.’ A subsequent search of the IP address associated with the uploads led officials to subpoena Comcast for the location of the user’s login.
Two months later, NCMEC submitted another tip to the Attorney General’s office stating that 10 more sexually explicit child exploitation files were uploaded by the same user. Inspection of those files confirmed that at least 9 of the 10 files depicted child sexual abuse.
In September of 2020, a search warrant was issued to Dropbox on the account. Additional child sexual exploitation materials were uploaded during this time.
On October 23, 2020, the search warrant for the Dropbox account uncovered 135 files, including those previously tipped to the Attorney General’s office by NCMEC. Months later, additional child sexual abuse materials were uploaded to the Dropbox as investigators continued to attempt to validate the files.
This month, investigators were finally able to obtain a search warrant for the Chambersburg-area home that had been suspected of being the origin of upload for the child sexual abuse material found on Dropbox. Williams was a resident of the home, and would later admit to being the sole user of the electronic devices in the residence. Investigators would find that ‘Ana D,’ the name associated with the Dropbox account, was a shortened version of Anastasia Diamond, Williams’ Drag stage name.
While initially denying any wrongdoing, Williams would admit to searching for, possessing, and uploading child sexual abuse materials after investigators found exploitative videos on his phones. He also told police that he first saw child abuse media in 2014 on a messaging app, and that he eventually started uploading the files to cloud storage websites to trade files with other pedophiles.
Williams performed as a Drag Queen under the stage name Anastasia Diamond. Since his charges were announced, internet sleuths have uncovered videos and pictures of Williams performing for children.
In a video uploaded to his Instagram from 2017, Williams is seen dancing and strutting in front of a crowd of youth at the Pride Festival of Central Pennsylvania.
One of Williams’ most recent posts on his Instagram is from February, in which he promotes the 2022 LGBTQ Pennsylvania Health Needs Assessment apparently in collaboration with the Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center.
Williams appears to have been a very active member of the Pennsylvania LGBTQ and Drag Queen communities, with frequent posts to his social media pages showing he was a regular guest on podcasts and participated in many Drag events in his area. Last year, he was a featured speaker at GLO Harrisburg, which bills itself as a “safe space” for LGBTQ youth.
Williams next appearance in a large Drag show was scheduled for July 4.
Drag shows and their appropriateness for youth have become hot topics over the last few years, especially since the controversial spread of Drag Queen Story Hours across North America and Europe. In 2019, it was discovered that a registered sex offender had been performing at a Texas library for children as a Drag Queen.

In May, footage from the DragCon LA convention sparked backlash after it was discovered that children had performed on stage with the drag queens, collecting cash ‘tips’ from the audience as they danced.
Earlier this month, a video of ‘drag queens’ performing provocatively for an audience of children at a gay bar in Texas went viral on Twitter, prompting massive backlash and raising concerns about child safeguarding.
The event had been subject to protests by right-wing advocacy group Protect Kids Texas, which stated on Twitter that they had 80 people outside of the venue voicing their concerns. The group also posted a video showing police showing up to the bar and escorting children from the venue.

A publishing house was forced to delete tweets today after receiving a firestorm of backlash for calling Indigenous women forcibly sterilized under racist policies “womb carriers.”
Verso Books, a left-wing publishing house which has offices in the United Kingdom and United States, published a series of tweets on June 23 focused on the history of obstetrical violence against Indigenous women.
In an attempt to make their ordeals ‘gender neutral,’ Verso instead called them “womb carriers.”
“In the 1970s up to 50% of Native womb barriers were sterilized against their will by the Indian Health Service (IHS),” read the first tweet in the thread, continuing: “Stripping our womb carriers of their ability to have children is the continuation of over 500 years of misogynistic violence against Indigenous peoples.”
One of the now-deleted tweets pushed on the official Verso Books Twitter.
The Indian Health Service is a division within the United States Department of Health and Human Services which focuses on providing health services to Indigenous American tribes and Alaska Natives. The IHS was established in 1955, but has a long history of controversies surrounding its administration of services to Indigenous people.
In 1976, the U.S. Government admitted that a mass sterilization policy had been enacted by the Indian Health Service between 1973 and 1976. A study by the U.S. General Accounting Office found that 3,406 Indigenous women without their consent, validating research undertaken by Choctaw Doctor Connie Pinkerton-Uri years prior which had found that one out of every four Indigenous women had been sterilized. Some had even been given total hysterectomies under the lie that it was “reversible.”
Shortly after Verso’s tweets were posted, the publisher prompted outrage from women’s rights advocates who called out the language used as “dehumanizing” and erasing the unique, sex-based oppression within the practice.
Radical feminist Claire Heuchan responded to Verso’s thread writing: “*Women* were forcibly sterilized as part of the violent subjugation of our sex class. And you dishonor every last victim of this heinous crime by pretending that she was chosen for some arbitrary reason, as opposed to recognising this violation as racialised misogyny.”

Author of Give Birth Like A Feminist, Milli Hill also tweeted in response; “Imagine typing this out and clicking ‘tweet’ without even pausing to consider how calling women ‘womb carriers’ would absolutely delight the racists and misogynists who carried out the atrocity they are trying to highlight. Sheer idiocy.”
Other twitter users responded with similar incredulity, offended at the sexed nature of the practice being erased, and noting that only females could be impacted by such a barbaric practice.
“Such degrading language is only ever used to describe women. Not men. Native women were targeted SPECIFICALLY because of their sex class & their ability to carry children. Don’t minimise the horrors they faced by using this kind of language,” wrote user @AppleofSpring.
Sick to death of west's performative concern for brown & black women. You use us for your agenda by DEHUMANISING us. You think you come off as 'inclusive' but you're a misogynistic, racist, spineless cult worshipper. We want no part in your pomo garbage. Leave us alone for good. https://t.co/8xL96wt7t3
Verso Books, previously New Left Books, is a publishing house founded in 1970 which self-identifies as left wing. Many of their publications focus on promoting gender ideology, sex work, or transgenderism.
They have published books such as Revolting Prostitutes by by Juno Mac and Molly Smit, Trans: A Memoir by Juliet Jacques and the North American release of The Transgender Issue by Shon Faye.
Verso Books has also published the work of prominent Queer theorist, Judith Butler. Butler’s work, particularly her 1990 book Gender Trouble, has been seen as influential in distorting the language around women’s rights.
Speaking with The Guardian in 2021, Butler infamously said: “We need to rethink the category of woman” and “The category of woman can and does change.” Roughly eight hours after publication, an entire section of the interview was quietly pulled. In the deleted passages, Butler had said that “the anti-gender ideology is one of the dominant strains of fascism in our times.”
Although Verso sometimes publishes feminist literature, in 2021, they were accused of mishandling a sexual harassment complaint by a female employee.
Emily Janakiram, who described herself as “the newest and lowest paid employee, the only woman of color on full-time staff,” demanded an apology from the publishing house after she reported that Verso’s U.S. editor, Jake Stevens, had sexually harassed her.
“I was told that this was not the first time that Jake had behaved in a sleazy and inappropriate way with employees, and that in filing the first ever former complaint, I would be letting him know that we knew about this behavior and would no longer tolerate it silently,” she stated at the time.
During a meeting to discuss the incident, Jankiram suggested that they hire someone to conduct sexual harassment training at the office, but was told that “this was basically not cool and leftist enough for the hallowed halls of Verso.”
Many of the writers Verso publishes have facilitated the academic argument for the words “woman” and “man” to no longer refer to biological sex distinctions. This has resulted in alternative phrases such as “cervix havers, gestational carries, vagina owners” and even “bleeders” being used when referring to women’s reproductive health.
Researchers have found that women view these terms as dehumanising. A collaborative research paper led by Australian academic Karlene Gribble and included the work of 10 prominent women’s health researchers concluded that so called “inclusive language” had “consequences that have serious implications for women and children.”
“Desexing the language of female reproduction has been done with a view to being sensitive to individual needs and as beneficial, kind, and inclusive,” they wrote in the paper. “Yet, this kindness has delivered unintended consequences that have serious implications for women and children.”
Indigenous women are still disproportionately impacted by sex-based violence. The murder and disappearance of thousands of Native American, First Nation, Metis, and Inuit women and girls across the United States and Canada has been referred to as an “epidemic” that has gone overlooked for years.
According to Native Women’s Wilderness, Indigenous women and girls in the United States are murdered at a rate 10 times higher than all other ethnicities, and experience sexual violence at a rate of 2 times higher their white counterparts.

While the name is not my own, I feel it describes me well. I have traversed the darkest reaches of the so-called “gender spectrum” in search for what – who – I was, and transformed myself in the process multiple times.
I can say now that I am a 31-year-old gay male who lived life as a transgender woman for a decade.
I grew up in predominantly Muslim country in Eastern Europe. From the youngest years of my life, I was ‘gender non-conforming,’ and even before I hit puberty I knew I wasn’t like the other boys. But as I got older, I realized that my sexuality and desire to present myself the way I felt most comfortable was not accepted by the society I had been born into. I was rejected both at school and in the home. Bullied by peers, and treated as a burden by my family for my femininity.
My father would tell me I “wasn’t a real man.”
My mother expressed shame over my height and physical attributes.
It doesn’t take long to drown when you’re thrown into a sea of resentment with no lifejacket.
Slowly but surely, I began to hate everything about myself. My “feminine” body and mannerisms were a burden, as was my sexuality. Still, all I could focus on was improving my English with the dream I could leave my country and move to the West.
When I was 20-years-old, that dream became a reality. I moved to the United States to begin graduate school, and for a moment breathed the fresh air of a liberation I’d never before known. I was finally able to grow out my hair and dress in the manner I preferred, and I could be openly gay without fear of persecution.
But that moment was tragically brief.
A question from a well-meaning classmate would put the breaks to the freedom I was enjoying.
“What are your pronouns?”
I was confused, uninitiated. I’d never been exposed to the concepts present in contemporary gender ideology before, and began to research into it like any curious person would. Little did I know at the time, every page I scrolled through and concept I learned was tugging me farther and farther away from the liberation I had just barely begun to enjoy.
Faced with an avalanche of testaments to affirmation and validation, I began to convince myself I was a “straight woman” trapped in a man’s body. After the life I had lived, wrought with such repression and condemnation, it almost made sense.
It explained everything, in fact. The reasons why I never fit in or felt comfortable with my body suddenly became crystal clear. The logic behind it also promised an escape, something I had been desperately searching for my whole life.
I could be free from the homosexuality that I had been shamed for since my earliest years. I could be free from being a “feminine” man. I could be a heterosexual woman. Then I could be accepted, find love, and live a normal life.
In my excitement, I almost immediately began presenting myself as a transgender woman. I distanced myself from my gayness and my maleness. I changed my pronouns and quickly changed my name and legal documents.
But despite my initial feelings I had done the right thing, the escape – the freedom – I sought continued to elude me.
While I had been told while I was growing up that I was too “feminine,” male sexual partners were now telling me I was too “masculine,” and not womanly enough. I decided it must have been because my “wrong body” still needed medical correction.
I was able to get feminizing hormones rather quickly through Fenway Health in Boston, Massachusetts, which only required me to tell them I was living as a woman and “felt” like a girl on the inside. Soon after, I got facial feminization surgery and breast implants.
While my dating pool initially increased, I was told by members of my transgender community that men who were comfortable with my penis were “tranny chasers” who didn’t see me as a real woman. This, coupled with the fact these men often didn’t want anything to do with me out of the bedroom, made me feel like I would never find true love until I had completed all of the surgeries associated with transitioning. My mental health began to deteriorate, and I decided that I needed bottom surgery in order to feel happy.
I ended up getting two letters from mental health professionals at Fenway Health stating that I had gender identity disorder and that I was a good candidate for sex reassignment surgery. At no point was I asked about my childhood trauma, the repression of my sexuality in my home country, or even whether I had any co-morbid mental health concerns. They assumed that my depression and anxiety issues were due to gender identity disorder, and that radical medical intervention would be the solution.
I had my surgery in 2015, and my life has been a living hell since then.
The “neo-vagina” the surgeon had constructed was too tight for comfortable penetrative sex, and I started rapidly loosing depth despite rigorous and painful dilations because my body was treating the tunnel as a wound and was constantly trying to heal itself.
Within a few months, I was back on the operating table to widen the constructed passage. The surgeon blamed me for not dilating enough, though I had followed the instructions he’d given. Even after I left the hospital, I lost one inch of the canal’s depth in the drive from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts as my body continued to treat the surgical creation as a wound that needed to be closed.
Despite all of my efforts, most of which resulted in extreme discomfort during urination, the canal was narrowing once again.
My second revision was done with a different surgeon, one who harvested tissue from my colon in order to add it to the constructed canal. Within one month, the passage had tightened once again and dilation was painful.
Shape Shifter in a 2017 YouTube video documenting the aftermath of one of his neo-vagina revisions.
By my third revision surgery, I had done so much research that I was begging the surgical team to order certain supplies to keep my passage from closing again. During this surgery, my pelvic bone was shaved down to make the entrance to my hole wider. But after I removed the inflatable stent I had inserted during surgery, I discovered I had developed a colorectal fistula — an abscess-like infection. I had to be scheduled for fistula repair surgery.
The fourth revision to my neo-vagina resulted in the fistula tearing back open.
It was then that I realized no one had known what they were doing. Everything was experimental. All of it was being made up as they went along — and I was nothing more than a guinea pig.
I later discovered the surgeon, Dr. Salgado, who had done my last three revisions was let go from the University of Miami for taking pictures of his patients while they were under anesthesia and posting them to Instagram.
Currently, my neo-vagina is only 1 inch deep. I have spent thousands of dollars flying across the United States trying to find a surgeon with a solution, but I have been told that due to the amount of revisions I have had, any attempts would likely result in me having to wear a colostomy bag.
I realize now that in my search for freedom… I have mutilated myself.
I lost my perfectly healthy genitals. I lost my 20s. I lost family and friends. I lost my chance at a comfortable, fulfilling sex life.
My insurance, however, has paid out over $250,000 to surgeons and hospitals for the various hack-jobs that had been performed on my body. Everyone made out like a bandit, yet I had nothing to show for it. Not one of the surgeons who lined their pockets off of my trauma has ever called to check up on me, ask about my quality of life, or see if I was still alive.
In 2018, I made my first YouTube video discussing my complications. At the time, I was still living as a “woman,” and I had thought I would document my thoughts and experiences as I believed they were rare.
But after I uploaded my first videos, I had many trans-identified individuals write me and explain they were in similar positions. I realized there were a lot of people with complications, but they weren’t included in any official statistics or data.
Just as my journey had started, it would end with research.
I realized hormone treatments were not even FDA approved for treatment of gender dysphoria. That there were no studies proving that hormone replacement therapy was safe in the long run. And, just as I had thought, all of the surgeries were experimental.
But more than anything else, I realized I was not a “woman.” I was a gay man who had been sold a lie.
After everything I have been through. I realize medical transition destroyed my mental and physical health, and lowered my quality of life substantially.
At 31-years-old, I have osteoporosis and scoliosis from the impact of hormone replacement therapy. In fact, my testosterone was so low that in January I began taking it to improve my bone density. My T-levels increasing resulted in a slew of extreme emotions towards my transition. It was as though a part of my brain that had been dormant was activated, and I was suddenly wrought with the full depth of the realization that I had made a mistake I could never take back.
I was at my breaking point, and experienced suicidal ideations. Entering therapy helped me realize I had heavy childhood trauma that should have been addressed prior to ever allowing me to proceed with an irreversible medical intervention. I discovered I had borderline personality disorder as well as body dysmorphia, and no matter how far I took my surgical modifications, I would have never felt “at home” in my body.
Since I have come out as a detransitioner, I have spoken to so many people like me whose stories are important and deserve to be heard. In fact, I believe the detransitioner community will be growing exponentially in the coming years. It is tragic to think about the parents who will one day realize they ruined their child’s body by jumping to “affirm” how they perceived themselves at one moment in time — kids who may have just been gay or gender-nonconforming like myself.
I have also met criticism from those who still subscribe to gender ideology who claim that me speaking on my experiences will take away “life saving” care from trans people.
But I got that care. And where is my life?
Sometimes I feel like I am in a nightmare I will wake up from. My eyes will open and I will have my original body and have my whole life ahead of me to make decisions. Since beginning testosterone, I also sometimes get ‘phantom penis’ symptoms which are extremely traumatic.
Medical detransitioning is even more experimental than medical transitioning, but I am not rushing into anything anymore. One thing is for sure, I will never again identify as transgender woman — a label that not only endorses questionable medical experimentation, but also has a negative impact on the rights and dignity of females.
My idea of freedom is different now than it was those years ago, but the challenges are, ironically, the same.
In addition to the criticism from those who champion gender ideology, I also get flak for having long hair and nails but identifying as a man. Yet again I am being criticized for not fitting certain rigid definitions of masculinity — the very thing that set me down this path in the first place.
But I am done trying to ‘correct’ myself to please others.
I am done shifting shapes.

Amnesty Norge, the Norwegian chapter of Amnesty international, has released a collaboration video promoting trans rights with an activist who launched a police investigation against a feminist for expressing her opinion on gender ideology.
“Christine Marie” Jentoft reported women’s rights advocate Christina Ellingsen to the police over comments she made on Twitter stating that men cannot be lesbians.
The video, which was posted to Amnesty Norway’s Twitter on June 16, shows Jentoft wearing a shirt intended to mock women who are uncomfortable with men using female bathrooms. Amnesty presents Jentoft with comments and opinions portrayed as uneducated or bigoted he then responds to.
Som transkvinne møter @CJentoft på fordommer og kritiske spørsmål så og si hver eneste dag. Her er noe av det hun møter på mest! Vi må alltid kjempe for mangfold av mennesker, friheten og et inkluderende samfunn🏳️⚧️💛 pic.twitter.com/SwduadF87K
During the video, Jentoft defends males using women’s restrooms, and claims that there are more than two sexes.
When asked about the impact “trans rights” have on women’s rights, Jentoft denies there is any conflict, and addresses the concern by saying “rights are not like a pizza where some get more and others get less.” Jentoft also claims trans activism does not want to erase the words ‘man’ and ‘woman’ — two responses which could be perceived as ironic considering Jentoft is attempting to have a feminist imprisoned for her perspective on women’s sex-based rights.
Jentoft, a male who identifies as a “lesbian,” currently serves as an advisor on gender diversity for the Norwegian Organization for Sexual and Gender Diversity (FRI – foreningen for kjønns- og seksualitetsmangfold).
FRI, which originally focused on advancing the rights of the gay and lesbian community, shifted its campaigning towards destigmatizing fetishes as it began to take up the cause of transsexual lobbying.
Since 1996, FRI’s activism has focused on pressuring the World Health Organization (WHO) to declassify fetishes and paraphilias as mental health disorders. In 2018, the organization, which often displays the “BDSM pride” flag, was successful in their campaign to have sadomasochism, transvestic fetishism, and general fetishism re-classified as variants in sexual arousal both in Norway and abroad.
Last year, Ellingsen, a representative of feminist organization Women’s Declaration International (WDI), questioned why FRI promoted the belief that men could be lesbians. She directed some of her tweets at Jentoft due to his involvement with the organization.
“Why [does] FRI teach young people that males can be lesbians? Isn’t that conversion therapy?” Ellingsen tweeted in October 2021.

A second tweet that has been cited as evidence of hate speech reads, “Jentoft, who is male and an advisor in FRI, presents himself as a lesbian – that’s how bonkers the organization which supposedly works to protect young lesbians’ interests is. How does it help young lesbians when males claim to be lesbian, too?”
In January, Ellingsen appeared on a Norwegian television debate with Jentoft, the topic being biological sex, language, and trans health.
“Jentoft claimed to be a woman and a mother. To which I replied: you are a man. You can’t be a mother. It is discrimination against women that we are to understand you as a mother,” Ellingsen says, “My statement is true on every level, of course, but is especially true because changing legal sex in Norway explicitly does not include a change of parental status.”
But Ellingsen explains that when she debated Jentoft on television, the activist had already reported her to police. He would later add the comments she made during the debate to the police report, which she was still unaware of at the time.
While police are still investigating, if she is found guilty, Ellingsen could face a prison sentence of up to three years for her comments.
Speaking with Reduxx, Ellingsen expresses a lack of surprise at Amnesty Norway’s involvement with Jentoft, the organization having previously defended him against her statements before.
“Amnesty Norway used their platform to claim that me calling Jentoft ‘man’ on TV was harassment,” Ellingsen says, “Two of my retweets of Amnesty Norway’s misrepresentation of ‘harassment’ was later included in the report to the police.”
Ellingsen points out that Amnesty, despite being a multi-national human rights charity, has long since abandoned the recognition women face unique, sex-based oppression.
“Amnesty does not recognize violations against women. On the topic of sex-based exploitation against women, they have publicly sided with those who exploit women, both on the topic of prostitution and trafficking, and on the topic of women’s right to count as a sex-class. Their Ireland branch even claims in a letter that there are no such thing as a sexed body.”
Amnesty has come under fire from women’s rights in recent years since shifting its stances on many key feminist issues. It currently lists female genital mutilation as being a “gender-based” discrimination, and announced its support for a blanket decriminalization of “sex work” in 2016.
“Women make up the majority of those who donate to charities. Do women realize what they support when they [donate to] Amnesty?” Ellingsen asks, “I think that by backing the most exploitative industries against women, and by supporting the erasure of women as a sex-class, Amnesty might be making a mistake.”

Si bien el nombre no es mío, siento que me describe perfectamente. He atravesado los confines más oscuros del llamado “espectro de género” en busca de mi mismo y pase por varias transformaciones durante el proceso.
Ahora puedo decir que soy un hombre gay de 31 años que vivió como una mujer transgénero durante una década.
Crecí en un país mayoritariamente musulmán en Europa del Este. Desde mis primeros años, era “de género no conforme “, e incluso antes de llegar a la pubertad sabía que no era como los otros niños. Pero a medida que crecí, me di cuenta de que mi sexualidad y el deseo de presentarme de la manera en que me sentía más cómodo no era aceptado dentro de la sociedad en la que había nacido. Fui rechazado tanto en la escuela como en el hogar. Acosado por mis compañeros y tratado como un peso familiar debido a mi feminidad.
Mi padre me decía que “no era un verdadero hombre”.
Mi madre expresó vergüenza por mi estatura y mis atributos físicos.
Uno no tarda mucho en ahogarse cuando te arrojan dentro de un mar de resentimiento sin salvavidas.
Lento pero seguro, comencé a odiar todo sobre mi persona. Mi cuerpo y gestos “femeninos” eran una carga, al igual que mi sexualidad. Aún así, todo en lo que podía enfocarme era en mejorar mi inglés con el sueño de poder dejar mi país y mudarme a occidente.
Cuando tenía 20 años, ese sueño se hizo realidad. Me mudé a los Estados Unidos para comenzar la escuela de posgrado y, por un momento, respiré el aire fresco de una liberación que nunca antes había sentido. Finalmente pude dejarme crecer el cabello vestirme a gusto mío, y ser abiertamente gay sin temor a la represión.
Pero ese momento fue trágicamente breve.
Una pregunta bien intencionada de un compañero pondría fin a la libertad que estaba disfrutando.
“¿Cuáles son tus pronombres?”
Estaba confundido, yo era un no iniciado. Nunca antes había estado expuesto a los conceptos presentes en la ideología de género contemporánea y comencé a investigar como lo haría cualquier persona curiosa. Poco entendía en ese momento, con cada página que leía y cada concepto que aprendía me alejaba más y más de la liberación que apenas había comenzado a disfrutar.
Ante una avalancha de testamentos de afirmación y validación, comencé a convencerme de que era una “mujer heterosexual” atrapada en un cuerpo de hombre. Después de la vida que había vivido, forjada con tanta represión y condena, casi tenía sentido.
De hecho, lo explicaba todo. Las razones por las cuales nunca encajé o me sentí cómodo con mi cuerpo de repente se volvieron muy claras. La lógica detrás de esto es que también prometía un salida, algo que había estado buscando desesperadamente durante toda mi vida.
Podría liberarme de la homosexualidad de la que me había avergonzado desde mis primeros años. Podría liberarme de ser un hombre “femenino”. Podría ser una mujer heterosexual. Entonces podría ser aceptado, encontrar el amor y vivir una vida normal.
En mi entusiasmo, casi de inmediato comencé a presentarme como una mujer transgénero. Me distancié de mi homosexualidad y mi masculinidad. Cambié mis pronombres y rápidamente cambié mi nombre y documentos legales.
Pero a pesar de mis sentimientos iniciales de que había hecho lo correcto, la solución, la libertad, que buscaba seguía fuera de mi alcance.
Si bien mientras crecía me habían dicho que era demasiado “femenino”, mis compañeros sexuales masculinos ahora me decían que era demasiado “masculino” y no lo suficientemente femenina. Decidí que debía ser porque mi “cuerpo equivocado” aún necesitaba corrección médica.
Pude obtener hormonas feminizantes con bastante rapidez a través de Fenway Health en Boston, Massachusetts, solo requerían que les dijera que estaba viviendo como mujer y que “me sentía” como una hembra por dentro. Poco tiempo después, tuve cirugía de feminización facial e implantes mamarios.
Si bien mi grupo de citas aumentó inicialmente, los miembros de mi comunidad transgénero me dijeron que los hombres que se sentían cómodos con mi pene eran “cazadores de transexuales” que no me veían como una mujer real. Esto, junto al hecho que estos hombres evitaban profundizar la relación fuera del encuentro sexual, me hizo sentir que nunca encontraría el amor verdadero hasta que hubiera completado todos mis procedimientos quirúrgicos asociados a la transición. Mi salud mental comenzó a deteriorarse y me decidí por una cirugía de glúteos para hacerme feliz.
Terminé recibiendo dos cartas de profesionales de salud mental de Fenway Health que decían que padecía de un trastorno de identidad de género y que era un buen candidato para cirugía de reasignación de sexo. En ningún momento me preguntaron sobre mi trauma infantil, la represión de mi sexualidad en mi país de origen, o incluso si tenía algún problema de salud mental comórbido. Asumieron que mis problemas de depresión y ansiedad se debían a un trastorno de identidad de género y que una intervención médica radical sería la solución.
Me operaron en el 2015 y mi vida ha sido infernal desde entonces.
La “neo-vagina” que el cirujano había construido era demasiado apretada para disfrutar del sexo con penetración cómodamente, y comencé a perder profundidad rápidamente a pesar de las rigurosas y dolorosas dilataciones debido a que mi cuerpo estaba rechazando el canal como si fuera una herida que constantemente intentaba curar.
Al cabo de unos meses, estaba de nuevo en la mesa de operaciones para ampliar el túnel construido. El cirujano me culpó por no dilatar lo suficiente, aunque había seguido todoas las instrucciones al pie de la letra. Incluso después de salir del hospital, perdí una pulgada profundidad del canal durante el viaje de Pensilvania a Massachusetts, mi cuerpo seguía tratando esta creación quirúrgica como una herida que necesitaba cerrarse.
A pesar de todos mis esfuerzos, la mayoría de los cuales terminaron en una incomodidad extrema al orinar, el canal seguía estrechándose.
Mi segunda revisión fue con un cirujano diferente, el extrajo tejido de mi colon para agregarlo al canal reconstruido. Al paso de un mes, el pasaje se volvió a tensar y la dilatación era dolorosa.
Para mi tercera cirugía de revisión, ya había investigado tanto que le estaba rogando al equipo quirúrgico que pidiera suministros específicos para evitar que mi conducto se cerrara nuevamente. Durante esta cirugía, mi hueso pélvico fue limado para hacer más ancha la entrada a mi agujero. Pero después de quitar el stent inflable que habían insertado durante la cirugía, descubrí que se me había formado una fístula colorrectal, una infección similar a un absceso. Tuve que someterme a otra cirugía, en este caso de reparación de fístula.
La cuarta revisión de mi neovagina provocó que la fístula se abriera de nuevo.

Fue entonces cuando me di cuenta de que nadie sabía lo que estaba haciendo. Todo fue experimental. Todo se inventaba a medida que avanzaba, y yo solo era su conejillo de indias.
Más tarde descubrí que el cirujano, el Dr. Salgado, con quien tuve mis últimas tres revisiones, había sido despedido de la Universidad de Miami por tomar fotografías de sus pacientes mientras se encontraban bajo los efectos de la anestesia para luego publicarlas en Instagram.
Actualmente, mi neo-vagina tiene una sola 1 pulgada de profundidad. He gastado miles de dólares viajando por los Estados Unidos tratando de conseguir un cirujano que tenga la solución, pero me han dicho que debido a la cantidad de revisiones pasadas, cualquier nuevo intento podría dejarme necesitando una bolsa de colostomía.
Ahora entiendo que en mi búsqueda por la libertad… termine mutilando mi cuerpo.
Perdí mis genitales perfectamente sanos. Perdí mis 20. Perdí familiares y amigos. Perdí la oportunidad de tener una vida sexual cómoda y plena.
A pesar de esto, mi seguro pagó más de $250,000 a cirujanos y hospitales por esta estafa medica que realizaron con mi cuerpo. Todos huyeron como bandidos, pero a mí no me quedó nada positivo que mostrar. Ninguno de esos cirujanos que se llenaron los bolsillos con mi trauma me ha llamado para ver cómo sigue mi caso, para preguntarme sobre mi calidad de vida o ver si todavía sigo con vida.
En el 2018, subí mi primer video de YouTube acerca de mis complicaciones. Para ese entonces, todavía vivía como “mujer” y había pensado en documentar mis pensamientos y experiencias, ya que creía que eran extraños.
Pero después de subir mis primeros videos, muchas personas transidentificadas me escribieron y me explicaron que estaban viviendo situaciones parecidas. Me di cuenta de que había muchas personas con complicaciones, pero no estaban incluidas en ninguna estadística o datos oficiales.
Mi viaje comenzaría y terminaría con una investigación.
Descubrí que los tratamientos hormonales para la disforia de género ni siquiera contaban con la aprobación de la FDA. Que no se hicieron estudios para comprobar si la terapia de reemplazo hormonal era segura a largo plazo. Y, tal como lo había pensado, todas las cirugías resultaron ser experimentales.
Pero sobre todo, me di cuenta de que yo no era una “mujer”. Yo era un hombre gay al que le habían vendido una mentira.
Después de todo lo que he vivido. Me doy cuenta de que la transición médica destruyó mi salud mental y física y redujo sustancialmente mi calidad de vida.
A los 31 años, tengo osteoporosis y escoliosis por el impacto de la terapia de reemplazo hormonal. De hecho, mi testosterona estaba tan baja que en enero comencé a tomarla para mejorar mi densidad ósea. El aumento de mis niveles de testosterona desencadenó una serie de emociones extremas hacia mi transición. Era como si una parte de mi cerebro que había quedado inactiva se despertara, y de repente me invadió un profundo sentimiento de equivocación del que nunca podría deshacerme.
Estaba a punto de colapso y me llegaban ideas suicidas. Entrar en terapia me ayudó a darme cuenta de que tenía un fuerte trauma infantil que debió ser abordado antes de permitirme proceder con una intervención médica irreversible. Descubrí que sufría de trastorno límite de la personalidad, así como dismorfia corporal, y que sin importar cuán lejos llevara mis modificaciones quirúrgicas, nunca me habría sentido “a gusto” en mi cuerpo.
Desde que inicié mi detransición , he hablado con muchas personas como yo, cuyas historias son importantes y merecen ser escuchadas. De hecho, creo que la comunidad de detransicionistas crecerá exponencialmente en los próximos años. Es triste pensar en los padres que algún día caerán en cuenta de que arruinaron el cuerpo de sus hijos al “afirmar” como ellos escogieron identificarse en un momento dado: niños que pueden haber sido homosexuales o de género no conforme como yo.
También he recibido críticas de aquellos que todavía suscriben a la ideología de género que afirman que hablar sobre mis experiencias les quitará la atención medica que “salva vidas” a las personas trans.
Pero yo recibe ese tratamiento. ¿Y cómo quedó mi vida?
A veces siento que estoy en una pesadilla de la que despertaré. Mis ojos se abrirán y tendré mi cuerpo original con toda mi vida por delante para tomar decisiones. Desde que comencé con la testosterona, a veces también tengo síntomas de “pene fantasma” que son extremadamente traumáticos.
La detransición médica es todavía más experimental que la transición médica, pero ahora no me apresuro con el proceso. Una cosa es segura: nunca más me identificaré como mujer transgénero, una etiqueta que no solo respalda a la experimentación médica inescrupulosa, sino que también tiene un impacto negativo en los derechos y la dignidad de las mujeres.
Mi concepto de libertad es ahora distinto al que manejaba durante esos años, pero irónicamente, los desafíos son los mismos.
Además de las críticas por parte de los defensores de la ideología de género, también recibo críticas por tener el cabello y las uñas largas e identificarme como hombre. Una vez más, me critican por no encajar con ciertas definiciones rígidas de la masculinidad, precisamente lo que originalmente me llevó a esta búsqueda.
Pero ya he abandonado la idea de tratar de ‘corregirme’ para complacer a los demás.
He terminado con los cambios de forma.

The owners of a top porn site have been indicted for complicity in rape and human trafficking after a number of women came forward and to report they had been sexually assaulted in the videos posted to the site.
Michel Piron, 64, owner of the French pornographic site Jacquie et Michel was indicted on Friday for complicity in rape and human trafficking. Piron and his wife were taken into custody on June 14 “over alleged pimping, complicity in rape and complicity in sexual assault between 2009 and 2015.”
In addition to the site’s owners, three male porn actors were arrested for rape allegations made by seven former actresses who said they were sexually abused during filming. The complaint was lodged on behalf of the victims in July 2020 by the women’s rights organizations Les Effrontées, Osez Le Féminisme, and Mouvement du Nid, which campaigns for the abolition of prostitution.
“It’s a great day for all women victims [and] the end of impunity for the criminal pornographic industry,” said Lorraine Questiaux, a lawyer for the feminist groups who filed the charges. “There’s still a lot to do but it’s an important new step that places human dignity and the fight against sexual exploitation at the heart of penal priorities,” she added.
In February 2020, Konbini News published a video of the testimonies of two women describing how they were lied to, trafficked and raped for the filming of videos for Jacquie et Michel. Additionally, the exposé featured a recording of one of the site co-founders admitting to acts of organized pimping.
“We went down into a cellar. There were 3 guys. I said I didn’t want to. (…) The doors were closed. Each in turn… They forced things on me that I didn’t want. They told me: ‘Even if you don’t like it, pretend to have fun!’ It was just horrible,” said one of the women.
When the investigation was initially launched in 2020, Fabienne El-khoury, a representative for Osez Le Féminisme, writing for UK-based feminist group Filia, said, “Hopefully the investigation will lead to court sentences for all implicated pimps and rapists. We also hope that this case will provoke a reckoning against the porno-criminal industry in the public opinion, just like #MeToo did for non-filmed sexual violence.”
In a statement posted to their website regarding last week’s arrests, Mouvement du Nid said, “We demand justice for the victims, and that the criminal responsibility of the entire industry be recognized and its perpetrators punished: actors, recruiters, producers and broadcasters. We support the words of these women so that the criminal porn industry can finally be judged for what it is: a system of trafficking, sexual violence and pimping on an industrial scale.”
Prior to founding the pornography enterprise in 1999, Piron worked within the National Education system as a teacher. Currently, there are more than twenty porn websites under the Jacquie et Michel brand, which has also diversified into merchandising. The site’s slogan “Merci Jacquie et Michel” has been used by celebrities. In 2020, Piron launched an OnlyFans competitor site called MerciFans in an attempt to capitalize on self-made amateur content during the pandemic. At the time, it was heralded as a way to show “solidarity” with “sex workers.”
This is the second large-scale investigation into sexual violence on pornography film sets in the past two years. The recent indictments are part of a larger trend of French women’s rights organizations pushing back against the sex industry not only through lawsuits, but also with public activism.
Last October, four male porn actors were charged with rape during an investigation into another amateur porn website called French Bukkake. At the start of the investigation in March 2020, 53 women came forward to recount their experiences of sexual abuse while being filmed.
Women detailed experiences where they were forced by directors to accept scenes that were not discussed or agreed upon prior to filming. Their testimonies led to at least a dozen people thus far being investigated for human trafficking, gang rape and pimping — including the porn director, actor and producer who founded the French Bukkake website.
Known by the pseudonym of ‘Pascal OP’, he had become notorious in the industry for producing violent, gonzo-style content. Both Pascal OP and another porn producer for the site known as ‘Mat Hadix,’ who were indicted in September 2020, are currently under investigation and being held in pre-trial detention.
In October, Le Parisien reported how even the male actors being charged with rape found it difficult to view the pornographic videos in the courtroom. One man was asked to watch a scene in which he violently forced a woman into a sex act. The judge then asked him to describe the scene. He responded by saying, “In this case, I’m guilty, I don’t have an excuse. From what you’ve told me, it’s rape, because the girl’s consent isn’t …” before bursting into tears.
On June 16, in response to the arrests last week involving the Jacquie et Michel site, Laurence Rossignol, a member of the Senate, told Public Sénat, “For the first time, a parliamentary report will look into this industry, its methods and its impact on society. This is a mafia system [and] these people are bastards who exploit the misery of women.” The video of her interview was deleted from Twitter five days after it was posted.
“Prostitution and pornography are two sides of the same patriarchal coin, the only difference being that pornography is filmed,” said Fabienne El-khoury. “Both are based on the exploitation of girls and women, both are concomitant with human trafficking, both profit from systemic racism, both normalize the erasure of women’s desires and sexual agency, and falsely present violence as sex.”
Extensive research has established that pornography is regularly produced under conditions that meet the legal definition of trafficking, which includes conditions where a commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion. This has resulted in the violent sexual abuse of women and children being uploaded to streaming porn sites with almost no oversight or recourse for victims. One notable example of this situation involves PornHub, which has come under fire for profiting from the rapes of women and girls.
Additionally, pornography fuels the demand for sex trafficking. Researchers who work with those who struggle with pornography addictions have documented an increasing tendency to act out the behaviors they see in the videos. Women who have exited prostitution report how johns frequently use pornography to illustrate the types of acts in which they would like to engage.
According to a 2021 Trafficking in Persons report, the government estimates that the majority of the 40,000 to 50,000 individuals in the sex industry in France, about 90 percent of whom are not French nationals, are likely trafficking victims. Of the foreign nationals trafficked, the majority were Nigerian women and girls. Moreover, authorities noted an increase in French girls as sex trafficking victims, as well as a general increase in child victims since 2016.

A trans-identified male inmate with a history of violence against women has been given ‘gender affirming’ breast implants while imprisoned in a women’s prison in Washington.
Nonnie Lotusflower, born Nathan Goninan, is currently serving a 10-year sentence for the brutal murder of 17-year-old Jessica Franklin.
Goninan murdered Franklin by strangulation just hours after being released from prison in 2007. Her body was found beneath an underpass in Bellingham, Washington, and a forensic examination revealed signs she had been sexually assaulted. Goninan was convicted on second-degree manslaughter charges.

On June 20, a whistleblower employed at the Washington Correctional Center for Women (WCCW) spoke to National Review and revealed Goninan had successfully undergone breast augmentation surgery while incarcerated. The correctional officer, who was not named due to concerns over professional repercussions, noted that Goninan had recently been escorted on a medical leave from the prison to get breast implants.

The officer stated that three members from the prison’s specialty emergency response team took Goninan to Spokane, Washington for an appointment prior to the surgery, and then to Gig Harbor to undergo the procedure.
“One of the members told me they drove hours for a ten-minute appointment. Then they had to take him again for his surgery and he recovered at Airway Heights Correction Center,” the whistleblower explained to National Review. Despite having the ‘top’ surgery, the anonymous officer did confirm Goninan is fully intact, and is regularly noted as engaging sexually with female inmates.
Goninan currently has a profile listed on Caged Ladies — a dating and pen pal website for female inmates. His profile photo shows he has extensive facial tattooing and describes himself as a “tattoo artist.”
WCCW has had multiple disturbing male transfers either presently incarcerated at the institution or recently released.
Currently housed at the institution is serial killer Donna Perry, born Douglas Robert Perry, who murdered three prostituted women in a four-month timeframe in 1990.
Yolanda Sapp, 26, Nicki Lowe, 34, and Kathleen Brisbois, 38, were all murdered with a gun and their naked bodies were found disposed near the Spokane River.
Perry initially avoided suspicion following the heinous murders, and fled to Thailand in 2000 to undergo gender reassignment surgeries, after which he successfully concealed his identity for years. It wasn’t until a 2012 DNA test following a conviction for illegal firearms possession that Perry was forensically connected to all three women’s murders.
During the trial proceedings, prosecutors contended that Perry had only undergone his gender changes to avoid suspicion for the murders and shirk justice. This was in part fueled by the fact Perry referred to his “male” and “female” identities in separate contexts, accusing his “male” side of having committed the crimes while his “female” identity was innocent of them.
While Perry was only convicted of the three murders, he claims to have killed nine prostituted women total. In 1998, during a prison stint for an unrelated charge, Perry allegedly told a fellow inmate that he wanted to kill prostitutes “because [he] couldn’t breed and the women had the ability to have children [but] they were wasting it being “pond scum.”
In December 2021, a female ex-inmate at the WCCW anonymously came forward and reported that the institution had been experiencing a wave of sexual assaults on vulnerable female inmates by trans-identified males who received transfers to the facility after identifying as female.
One such assault was committed by Princess Zoe Andromeda Love, a biological male with a criminal history that included the rape of a 12-year-old girl.
Love reportedly sexually assaulted a developmentally disabled female inmate just prior to his release. According to a former correctional officer at WCCW, many of the files associated with the incident were “erased” from the system.
Speaking to National Review in November of 2021, Scott Flemming noted that the relationship between Love and the female inmate had been described by the witnessing officer as one of “predator-victim” rather than “two inmates in love, after having consensual intercourse,” which is how it had initially been written off by the prison.
According to Flemming, the incident report on the interaction between Love and the female inmate had been “erased” from the system when the witnessing officer went to check on it one month after submitting it. Flemming noted that it was likely “part of a coverup” as the Washington Department of Corrections faced a lawsuit barring the release of information on inmate gender identity following the first whistleblower’s initial appearance on the radio program in May of 2021.
On March 31, the Washington state legislature passed a bill which ended public disclosures on currently and formerly incarcerated people’s transgender status, effectively obscuring the current number of trans-identified males housed in the state’s female facilities.

Un recluso transidentificado con antecedentes de violencia contra mujeres recibió implantes mamarios de “afirmación de género” mientras cumplía una condena en una prisión femenina de Washington.
Nonnie Lotusflower, nacido Nathan Goninan, actualmente cumple una sentencia de 10 años por el brutal asesinato de Jessica Franklin, de 17 años.
Goninan estrangulo a Franklin apenas unas horas después de haber sido puesto en libertad en el 2007. El cuerpo de la víctima fue encontrado debajo de un paso subterráneo en Bellingham, Washington, y un estudio forense reveló signos de agresión sexual. Goninan fue condenado por cargos de homicidio involuntario en segundo grado.

Si bien no está claro en qué momento Goninan fue trasladado a un centro de detención para mujeres, en el 2017 presentó una demanda contra el Departamento Correccional del Estado de Washington alegando discriminación por su “identidad de género” y exigiendo acceso a tratamientos quirúrgicos para “afirmación de género”. La ACLU presentó la denuncia en apoyo a Goninan en el 2018.
El 20 de junio, un denunciante anónimo empleado en el Centro Correccional para Mujeres de Washington (WCCW, por sus siglas en inglés) habló para el National Review y reveló que Goninan se había sometido con éxito a una cirugía de aumento de senos mientras seguía encarcelado. El oficial penitenciario, señaló que Goninan había sido escoltado fuera de la cárcel gracias a un permiso medico para llevar a cabo el procedimiento de aumento de busto.
El oficial declaró que tres miembros del equipo especializado de respuesta a emergencias de la prisión llevaron a Goninan a Spokane en Washington para una cita antes de la cirugía y luego a Gig Harbor para ser operado.
“Uno de los miembros me dijo que manejaron por horas para una cita de diez minutos. Luego tuvieron que llevarlo nuevamente para su cirugía y el postoperatorio en Airway Heights Correction Center”, detalló el denunciante al National Review. A pesar de someterse a la cirugía ‘superior’, el oficial anónimo confirmó que Goninan conserva sus partes intimas masculinas y se le ha observado tener relaciones sexuales con las reclusas de manera regular.
Actualmente, Goninan tiene un perfil en Caged Ladies, un sitio web de citas y amigos por correspondencia para reclusas. Su foto de perfil muestra que tiene muchos tatuajes faciales y se describe a sí mismo como un “artista del tatuaje”.
WCCW ha tenido múltiples hombres transferidos con historial inquietante, ya sea actualmente encarcelados en la institución o recientemente puestos en libertad.
Yolanda Sapp, de 26 años, Nicki Lowe, de 34, y Kathleen Brisbois, de 38, fueron asesinadas con un arma y sus cuerpos desnudos fueron encontrados tirados cerca del río Spokane.
Perry inicialmente evitó las sospechas después de cometer los atroces asesinatos y huyó a Tailandia en el 2000 para someterse a cirugías de reasignación de género, para luego exitosamente ocultar su verdadera identidad durante años. Fue gracias a una prueba de ADN en el 2012 luego de una condena por posesión ilegal de armas de fuego que Perry estuvo vinculado desde el punto de vista forense con los tres femicidios.
Durante el juicio, los fiscales sostuvieron que Perry solo se había sometido a cambio de género para evitar sospechas por los asesinatos y eludir la justicia. Esto fue en parte impulsado por el hecho de que Perry se refirió a su identidad “masculina” y “femenina” en contextos separados, acusando a su lado “masculino” de haber cometido la matanza mientras que su identidad “femenina” no intervino en los crímenes.
Si bien Perry solo fue condenado por los tres asesinatos, afirma haber matado a nueve mujeres en total, todas trabajadoras sexuales. En 1998, durante una temporada en prisión por un cargo no relacionado, Perry supuestamente le dijo a un compañero de prisión que quería matar prostitutas “porque él no podía reproducirse y las mujeres tenían la capacidad de tener hijos pero la estaban desperdiciando actuando como “escoria de estanque”.
En diciembre del 2021, una ex reclusa del WCCW informó de manera anónima que la institución había estado soportando una ola de agresiones sexuales contra reclusas por parte de hombres identificados como trans que fueron transferidos a la instalación después de declararse hembras , lo que deja a las privadas de libertad en una situación de vulnerabilidad .
Uno de esos ataques fue cometido por Princess Zoe Andromeda Love, un hombre biológico con antecedentes penales que incluyen a la violación de una niña de 12 años.
Según los informes, Love agredió sexualmente a una reclusa con problemas de desarrollo justo antes de su liberación. Según un ex oficial penitenciario del WCCW, muchos de los archivos asociados con el incidente fueron “borrados” del sistema.
En declaraciones al National Review en noviembre del 2021, Scott Flemming señaló que la relación entre Love y la reclusa había sido descrita por el oficial testigo como una de “depredador-víctima” en lugar de “dos reclusas enamoradas, después de tener relaciones sexuales consensuadas” que es como inicialmente se había condonado dentro de la prisión.
Según Flemming, el informe sobre la interacción entre Love y la reclusa fue “borrado” del sistema cuando el oficial testigo buscó verificarlo un mes después de haberlo enviado. Flemming señaló que probablemente era “parte de un encubrimiento”, ya que el Departamento Correccional de Washington enfrentó una demanda que prohibía la divulgación de información sobre la identidad de género de los reclusos luego de las revelaciones del primer denunciante dadas en un programa de radio de mayo del 2021.
El 31 de marzo, la legislatura del estado de Washington aprobó un proyecto de ley que puso fin a la información pública sobre el estado transgénero de las personas encarceladas actualmente y en el pasado, ocultando efectivamente la cantidad actual de hombres identificados como trans alojados en las instalaciones femeninas del estado.

Feminists faced extreme aggression today at a pro-women’s rights demonstration in Bristol after masked activists interrupted the event, screamed obscenities, and attempted to instigate physical altercations with the women.
Popular British women’s rights activist Kellie-Jay Keen and a number of individual feminists spoke at Bristol Speaker’s Corner today on issues surrounding women’s sex-based rights. But even before the event started, there was resistance from a crowd of trans activists that gathered in counterprotest.
The event was initially delayed from starting due to the noise level of the heckling from the trans activists, and because the women did not feel safe. An organizer of the event told Reduxx the feminists requested Bristol police call-in more officers as the mob of trans activists continued to escalate their aggression.
Several of the activists, primarily males associated with Bristol Anarchist Federation, were clad in all-black and had face coverings to obscure their identity.
In one video uploaded by feminist group @thewomencov, two of the black-clad males can be heard screaming aggressively at the women gathering on behalf of their rights.
“Go home, get in the sea, die out! You’re dinosaurs! You’re going to die out! You are fossils!” One is heard yelling, while the other screamed, “You’re all abusive f*cking scumbags!”

In a different angle of the same footage, one of the activists is seen being physically restrained by a police officer who appears to be having to hold him back from moving towards the women.
Another aggressive altercation between trans activists and police was caught on film as a large faction of the group was prevented from advancing on the women.

After the Speaker’s Corner event ended, some of the women went to a local pub and were pursued by the activists as they walked with little intervention from police as the feminists were crowded around by the furious group.
While walking towards Bristol’s retail center, Kellie-Jay Keen and a few other women were seen flanked on all sides by aggressive activists in video uploaded to YouTube by Tyrant Finder U.K. As they continued, activists chanted “f*ck off, fascists!” among other obscenities at them. While some police were present, they allowed the women to be surrounded and heckled.
One of the women had her ‘Stop Erasing Women’ sign vandalized as she walked, with a trans activist slapping a pro-trans sticker on it she had to cover.
As Keen and her group arrived at the Slug and Lettuce Pub, both entrances to the venue had to be blocked-off by police to prevent further escalation as the activists attempted to enter to confront the women.

On the street outside, one male activist with a microphone began speaking to the crowd on the supposed dangers of the feminist’s ideologies by claiming they were going to attack other groups’ rights: “Once they are done with trans people, they will come for Queers, they will come for the gays! Once they are done with them, it is only a matter of time until they come for women and Black people!”
At one point, the pub was force to shut down due to continued heckling and threats by the crowd of trans activists. The women inside were escorted out by police in what one of the attendees described as an “evacuation.”
The pub stopped serving and the police are escorting women outside… no point anybody coming along. And the threats are seriously aggressive. Way worse than the JamJar stairs & Brighton IMO. pic.twitter.com/oBCYKW4aj4
“Never been evacuated from a pub before,” feminist Bo Novak wrote on Twitter, “Bristol, what a disgrace. Women everywhere watching, this is why we need to raise our voices and protect our rights, including our right to speak.”
Speaking with Reduxx, one of the organizers of the Speakers Corner event says the aggression from the mob of trans activists left some of the women “in tears.”
Women’s rights activist activist Iris, known on Twitter as @EcuadorianMum, told Reduxx she wasn’t surprised by the reaction from the activists, but felt Bristol police had failed in their duty to protect the feminist speakers.
“They asked the aggressors to step back when necessary but would not actually prevent them screaming in women’s faces, they watched it happen,” Iris says, “Our other stewards had to step in to stop it.”
Iris says the stewards were volunteers, some of which with past policing experience, who took on the specific role, but that it wouldn’t have normally included such close-contact security work. A few were involved in altercations, but Iris says none were injured.
“There was a couple of assault attempts. The first one [was] more of a fisticuff when there were no police around and we had to manage ourselves. Second time there was some pushing by some teens, the police stepped in and pushed them back bit.”
Once the women had arrived to the bar, Iris says it wasn’t long before police informed her they were making the decision to shut the venue down under a public order directive.
“I had to run in and let everyone know not to buy anymore drinks, as they were just trying to relax. I had to let them know not to do that because we were being kicked out.” Iris believes it was because Bristol police were unwilling to disperse the mob of trans activists.
“Despite [the trans activists] trying to prevent us from speaking, we still managed to do it. It was hard work for some of us, but the event was a success in that everyone got to speak and everyone got to hear the speakers,” Iris continued, “They’ll never really stop us.”
This isn’t the first pro-woman event that has been met with violence in the United Kingdom in recent weeks.
On May 15, footage from a feminist event at Manchester Speaker’s Corner went viral after a trans activist was caught on camera physically assaulting a woman. The assailant was part of a black-clad gang preventing feminists from getting near a statue of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst.
Manchester Trans Rise Up had sent a number of “security” guards to prevent women from getting close to the statue of the iconic women’s rights activist, who also vandalized her likeness by draping it in trans-colored ribbons and flags.
At one point during the event, a lone feminist approached the statue, seemingly with the intention of placing a flag baring the colors of the suffragette movement near it. But she was instead roughly grabbed by a masked male, who physically prevented her from advancing.

En el día de hoy un grupo activistas feministas fueron víctimas de ataques extremistas durante una manifestación a favor de los derechos de las mujeres en Bristol, después de que antisociales encapuchados interrumpieran el evento, gritaran obscenidades e intentaran instigar altercados físicos con las mujeres.
La popular activista por los derechos de la mujer, la británica Kellie-Jay Keen, y otras feministas hablaron hoy en el Bristol Speaker’s Corner sobre los temas relacionados con los derechos de la mujer basados en el sexo. Pero incluso antes de que comenzara el evento, hubo resistencia por parte de una multitud de activistas trans que se reunieron en contraprotesta.
El evento se retrasó Inicialmente por el fuerte ruido de abucheos por parte de los activistas trans y porque las mujeres allí presentes no se sentían seguras. Un organizador del evento le contó a Reduxx que las feministas solicitaron mayor presencia de uniformados a la policía de Bristol mientras la multitud de activistas trans se volvía más agresiva.
Varios de los activistas, principalmente hombres, asociados a la Federación Anarquista de Bristol, vestían de negro con la cara tapada para ocultar su identidad.
En un video subido por el grupo feminista @thewomencov, se puede escuchar a dos de los hombres de negro gritándole agresivamente a las mujeres allí reunidas mientras estas ejercían su derecho ciudadano.
Se escucharon gritos de: “¡Váyanse a casa, tírense al mar, muéranse! ¡Ustedes son dinosaurios! ¡Van a morir! ¡Ustedes son fósiles!” “¡Todas ustedes son unas cabronas abusivas!”

En la misma grabación, se puede apreciar a uno de los activistas siendo retenido físicamente por un funcionario policial que parecía impedirle que se acercara al grupo de mujeres.
Otro altercado violento entre activistas trans y la policía fue captado en video cuando se le impidió a un grupo numeroso avanzar hacia donde se encontraban las mujeres.

Una vez finalizado el evento Speaker’s Corner, algunas de las mujeres decidieron ir a un pub local. Furiosos, los activistas trans aprovecharon el momento para acosar a las feministas con poca intervención de los organismos de seguridad.
La activista Kellie-Jay Keen junto a otras mujeres también fueron flanqueadas por los saboteadores iracundos mientras se dirigían hacia el centro comercial de Bristol. El usuario Tyrant Finder U.K. subió un video de los agresores gritando “¡Váyanse a la mierda, fascistas!” entre otras obscenidades mientras la policía se mantenía a distancia.
A una de las mujeres le dañaron su cartel de “Stop Erasing Women” [Basta de Borrar a las Mujeres] cuando un activista trans le pegó una calcomanía pro-trans que luego se tuvo que ocultar.
Cuando Keen y su grupo llegaron al Slug and Lettuce Pub, la policía tuvo que bloquear ambas entradas hacia el lugar para evitar una escalada mayor debido a que los activistas revoltosos intentaban entrar en el sitio para atacar a las mujeres.

Afuera en la calle, un activista masculino con un micrófono comenzó a hablar a la multitud sobre los supuestos peligros de las ideologías feministas al afirmar que iban a atacar los derechos de otros grupos: “Una vez que terminen con las personas trans, vendrán por los Queers , vendrán por los gays! ¡Una vez que terminen con ellos, es solo cuestión de tiempo hasta que vengan por mujeres y personas de raza negra!
Debido a los continuos abucheos y amenazas de la multitud de activistas trans el pub se vio obligado a cerrar. Las mujeres fueron escoltadas fuera del lugar por la policía, escena que una de las asistentes describió como una “evacuación”.
The pub stopped serving and the police are escorting women outside… no point anybody coming along. And the threats are seriously aggressive. Way worse than the JamJar stairs & Brighton IMO. pic.twitter.com/oBCYKW4aj4
“Nunca antes había sido escoltada fuera de un pub”, escribió la feminista Bo Novak en Twitter, “Bristol, qué vergüenza. A todas la mujeres que presenciaron esto, esta es la razón por la cual debemos alzar nuestras voces y proteger nuestros derechos, incluido nuestro derecho a hablar”.
Declarando para Reduxx, uno de las organizadoras del evento Speakers Corner dijo que la agresión de la turba de activistas trans dejó a algunas de las mujeres “llorando”.
La activista por los derechos de la mujer Iris, conocida en Twitter como @EcuadorianMum, le dijo a Reduxx que no estaba sorprendida por la reacción de los activistas, pero que sentía que la policía de Bristol había fallado en su deber de proteger a las oradoras feministas.
“Les pidieron a los agresores que retrocedieran cuando fuera necesario, pero en realidad no pudieron evitar que le gritaran en la cara a las mujeres, lo dejaron pasar”, dice Iris, “nuestros otros delegados tuvieron que intervenir para detenerlo”.
Iris dijo que los delegados eran voluntarios, algunos de los cuales contaban experiencia policial pasada, asumieron un rol específico incluyendo acciones de contacto cercano que normalmente no ocurren. Algunos estuvieron involucrados en altercados, pero Iris aclaró que ninguno resultó herido.
“Hubo un par de intentos de agresión física. El primero fue un puñetazo cuando la policía estaba alejada y teníamos que manejarnos solas. En la segunda ocasión hubo algunos empujones por parte de unos adolescentes, la policía intervino y los apartó”.
Iris recuerda que una vez que las mujeres llegaron al bar, no pasó mucho tiempo antes de que la policía les informara que estaban tomando la decisión de cerrar el lugar bajo una directiva de orden público.
“Tuve que correr y decirles a todas que no compraran más bebidas, ya que solo estaban tratando de relajarse. Tuve que hacerles saber que no hicieran eso porque nos estaban echando”. Iris cree que fue porque la policía de Bristol no estaba dispuesta a dispersar a la multitud de activistas trans.
“A pesar de que los activistas trans trataron de evitar que habláramos, cumplimos. Fue un trabajo duro para algunas de nosotras, pero el evento fue un éxito en el sentido de que todas pudieron hablar y escuchar a las oradoras”, continuó Iris, “realmente nunca nos detendrán”.
Este no es el primer evento a favor de la mujer que se ha enfrentado a actos violentos en el Reino Unido en estas últimas semanas.
El 15 de mayo, imágenes de un evento feminista en Manchester Speaker’s Corner se volvieron virales después de que un activista trans fuera captado por una cámara agrediendo físicamente a una mujer. El agresor formaba parte de una pandilla vestida de negro que impedía que las feministas se acercaran a la estatua de la sufragista Emmeline Pankhurst.
Manchester Trans Rise Up había enviado una serie de guardias de “seguridad” que buscaban evitar que las mujeres se acercaran a la estatua de la icónica luchadora por los derechos de las mujeres. Además también irrespetaron a su imagen, cubriéndola con cintas y banderas de colores trans.
Durante el evento, una feminista solitaria se acercó a la estatua, aparentemente con la intención de colocar una bandera con los colores del movimiento sufragista cerca de ella . Pero, un hombre enmascarado la agarró bruscamente y le impidió completar su ofrenda.
