La principal asociación médica trans colaboró con fetichistas de la castración y de abuso infantil

La Asociación Profesional Mundial para la Salud Transgénero (WPATH), la asociación médica internacional que establece pautas para la “transición” médica de niños, ha estado colaborando con los participantes de un foro de fetiches que alberga y produce pornografía infantil ficticia y contenido sadomasoquista extremo.

El 3 de diciembre de 2021, WPATH publicó un proyecto de directrices que incluía, por primera vez, la categoría de ‘eunuco’ como una “identidad de género” protegida. La 8ª edición actualizada de WPATH de sus Estándares de Atención (SOC), que recomienda tratamiento y servicios médicos para aquellos con una “identidad de género” autodeclarada, describe la relación entre “personas que se identifican como eunucos y otras personas transgénero”.

El documento dice: “Las personas que se identifican como eunucos pueden compartir con otras personas de género diverso un deseo de reducción o eliminación de las características físicas masculinas, los genitales masculinos o el funcionamiento genital”.

Continúa afirmando que “las personas que se identifican como eunucos pueden sufrir el mismo estrés minoritario que otros grupos estigmatizados”, y se refiere extensamente a la investigación recopilada de un sitio fetichista hardcore llamado Eunuch Archives, un sitio que ofrece fantasías de explotación sexual infantil centradas en evitar que los niños pasen por la pubertad.

El Archivo Eunuco comenzó a fines de la década de los 90 en colaboración con Body Modification Ezine (BME) y se alojó inicialmente en el mismo sitio. BME alcanzó cierta notoriedad a principios del 2000 por un video viral titulado “Pain Olympics” que mostraba a hombres mutilándose los genitales delante de la cámara.

Antes del lanzamiento oficial del Archivo en sí, los miembros se congregaban en un foro de Usenet con el mismo nombre, que se anunciaba en un grupo de noticias dedicado al sadomasoquismo: alt.sex.bondage, un grupo de discusión al que se le atribuye la acuñación del acrónimo BDSM (Bondage, Domination, Sadism, Masochism) en 1991.

En el grupo de noticias alt.eunuchs.questions, los miembros compartían fantasías de castración, ofrecían servicios, intercambiaban fotos y videos de castración, buscaban conectarse con hombres jóvenes que “feminizar”, pedían consejos sobre la castración química y recomendaban médicos dispuestos a realizar cirugías sin evaluaciones psiquiátricas.

Un documento de preguntas frecuentes publicado al comienzo del desarrollo del sitio recomendaba otros foros diferentes de pornografía de tortura y bondage para que los usuarios compartan imágenes y soliciten “cortadores” (alguien que realiza operaciones ilegales a aquellos que quieren modificar sus genitales o ser castrados) .

En particular, los foros de Usenet fueron el objetivo de las primeras investigaciones del FBI sobre las redes de pedofilia basadas en Internet, ya que proporcionaron un espacio para organizar e intercambiar materiales de abuso sexual infantil, incluida la pornografía escrita.

Una vez que se estableció el Archivo, muchos de los miembros más destacados se trasladaron a él.

Uno de los participantes más prominentes de los Archivos Eunucos es un administrador de sitios no identificado que usa el apodo de “Jesús”.

‘Jesús’ afirma haber estado involucrado en la edición de la versión más reciente del Manual Diagnóstico y Estadístico de los Trastornos Mentales (DSM-5), emitido por la Asociación Americana de Psicología (APA) y el borrador más reciente de estándares de atención de WPATH.

En 2010, la persona con el seudónimo ‘Jesús’ publicó en el foro acerca de cómo las autoridades de WPATH habían llegado a percibir el término “trastorno de identidad de género” como obsoleto, y dijo que había asistido a una reunión en 2009 en Oslo, donde se llegó a un consenso para implementar el término “disforia de género” en la edición posterior de los Estándares de Atención.

“El borrador para la próxima edición del Manual Diagnóstico y Estadístico de los Trastornos Mentales (el DSM-5) sugiere ‘Incongruencia de género’, que me gusta mucho más”, escribió, “¡El cuerpo y la mente están desincronizados, sin enfermedad mental implícita!”

En 2016, ‘Jesús’ afirmó haber sido elegido específicamente para reescribir una parte de los Estándares de Atención por el ex presidente de WPATH Eli Coleman, quien “me señaló con el dedo y anunció que se esperaba que proporcionara información sobre los eunucos para la revisión. Ahora es nuestra oportunidad de ayudar a diseñar los estándares de atención que serán más útiles”, escribió Jesús.

En 2018, ‘Jesús’ anunció las próximas revisiones de las directrices e invitó a los miembros de la comunidad a colaborar.

En respuesta al borrador de Estándares de Atención recientemente publicado por WPATH en diciembre del año pasado, un miembro del sitio declaró estar “absolutamente encantado” y dijo que “con gusto sacrificaría a millones de personas” para asegurar “un futuro en el que los médicos tengan que obedecer y que no tengan derecho a exigir razones o negar cirugías y medicamentos”.

En el borrador de los Estándares de Atención de WPATH, el “Archivo de Ficción” del Archivo Eunuco es directamente reconocido y nombrado. Pero el documento no menciona la gran cantidad de historias dentro del archivo que involucran directamente el sádico abuso sexual de niños.

Las historias se centran principalmente en la erotización de la castración infantil. En algunos, los niños solicitan los procedimientos ellos mismos y expresan gratitud a los adultos que realizan las operaciones. En otros, los niños pueden ser castrados por la fuerza bajo coacción extrema. Algunos relatos contienen representaciones violentas sexualizadas de niños con retraso en la pubertad que son violados por médicos, escritos con todo lujo de detalles repugnantes.

Durante nuestra investigación, Reduxx pudo infiltrarse en un área protegida por contraseña del sitio dentro de la comunidad de Eunuch Archives haciendose miembro.

A los nuevos miembros que solicitan registrarse se les presentan una serie de casillas para marcar dependiendo de su interés en unirse al foro. Entre las opciones se encuentran “transgénero, anulación, castración forzada y superioridad femenina/dominación”, un género BDSM comúnmente conocido como “femdom”.

Dentro de los archivos de ficción protegidos, había más de 3,000 historias de menores, incluido el abuso sexual explícito de niños, y “menor” era una etiqueta especialmente comisionada que los usuarios podían seleccionar para acceder fácilmente a historias específicamente con niños.

La pornografía ficticia incluye temas como médicos nazis que castran a niños, bebés que son alimentados con leche con estrógeno para ser violentamente traficados sexualmente cuando lleguen a la adolescencia y fantasías pedófilas de niños que han sido castrados para detener su pubertad, “congelándolos” en un estado infantil.

Un colaborador desde hace mucho tiempo del sitio, y con conexiones con WPATH, es el Dr. Krister Hildahl Willette quien, según su perfil de Facebook, estudió Ciencias Médicas en la Universidad Estatal de Ohio.

Willette usa el apodo ‘Kristoff’ en el foro, y un avatar de una monja con una fotografía de su cara superpuesta, levantándose el hábito para revelar lencería y una motosierra rosa.

En junio de 2009, Willette fue invitado por WPATH para hablar sobre “El desarrollo de estándares de atención para personas con un trastorno de identidad de género “de hombre a eunuco” en una conferencia en Oslo. En mayo de 2010, el contenido de la conferencia de Willette en Oslo se publicó en The International Journal of Transgenderism, una revista académica publicada por WPATH. Willette, coautor del informe, obtiene encuestas realizadas con la participación de miembros de los Archivos Eunucos.

“Un gran número de hombres con disforia de género que desean ser castrados no se ajustan al patrón clásico de transexualismo MtF (Male to Female, de hombre a mujer)”, se puede leer en el resumen. “Detestan su masculinidad, pero no se identifican como, ni desean ser, mujeres. En cambio, buscan la castración para convertirse en algo fuera de los sexos binarios”.

Hay dos videos inquietantes de Willette publicados en su canal de Youtube. En ambos, está vestido con un hábito de monja, sostiene un cigarro y grita obscenidades. En “Sister Krister on Cussing“, finge dirigirse a una audiencia de niños mientras lee una lista de palabrotas.

En el otro, “El mensaje de sexo seguro de la hermana Krister“, agita un condón mientras les habla a los niños de la importancia de los profilácticos.

Willette ha hecho llamamientos repetidos para obtener contribuciones financieras de los miembros del foro. Según una publicación de 2019 de Willette, el sitio web en ese momento recibía más de 20 millones de visitas por mes y se ejecutaba en siete servidores diferentes, una situación que él personalmente estaba financiando.

Las donaciones se aceptaban a través de PayPal y a través de una “corporación educativa caritativa” creada por Willette. Se instruyó a los donantes para que enviaran pagos en efectivo a un apartado postal en Minneapolis registrado bajo el nombre de Wyrm Wyvern.

Los documentos obtenidos por Reduxx revelan que Wyrm Wyvern fue disuelto por el estado de Minnesota por una violación de la Ley de Corporaciones sin Fines de Lucro, que dice que las actividades de la organización no pueden ser para “beneficio personal”.

Durante casi dos décadas, el Archivo Eunuco ha organizado una “Reunión de Miembros” anual. El evento se lleva a cabo en Minneapolis, Minnesota, donde vive Willette, y es co-organizado por Willette y la persona detrás del pseudónimo de Jesús.

Minneapolis es también donde estuvo la sede de WPATH durante años, así como la ciudad donde el ex presidente de WPATH Eli Coleman vive y trabaja actualmente. Coleman fue el presidente, y supervisaba las actualizaciones más recientes de los Estándares de Atención de WPATH.

En 2008, un grupo de investigadores de Canadá y California colaboró en un proyecto de investigación sobre el tema del fetiche de la castración masculina y publicó sus conclusiones en un artículo titulado, A Passion for Castration: Characterizing Men Who Are Fascinated with Castration, but Have Not Been Castrated. (Pasión por la castración: Investigando a los hombres que están fascinados con la castración, pero que no han sido castrados)

Según la investigación, la mayoría (52%) de los “aspirantes” que fantaseaban con la castración, ya sea química o quirúrgica, seleccionaron la fantasía sexual como el origen de su interés en la castración. Varios encuestados escribieron acerca de excitarse sexualmente al presenciar la castración animal.

Más de setecientas personas respondieron a una encuesta compartida en The Eunuch Archive, describiendo sus razones para “querer ser un eunuco”.

“Para algunos, la castración era un primer paso muy importante hacia una transición de MtF (Male to Female, de hombre a mujer)”, apuntaron los autores del estudio. “Como transexuales MtF, buscaban librar a sus cuerpos de testosterona no deseada, con o sin estrógeno suplementario para promover su transición”.

Un encuestado escribió sobre su deseo de “convertirse en ‘ello’, un tipo sumiso sin deseo sexual. Más común era la metáfora del esclavo, ‘como esclavo, le permitiría un mayor enfoque en servir al placer del Maestro'”.

Top Trans Medical Association Collaborated With Castration, Child Abuse Fetishists

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH),  the international association which sets guidelines for the medical ‘transitioning’ of children, has been collaborating with participants of a fetish forum that hosts and produces fictional child pornography and extreme sadomasochistic content.

On December 3, 2021, WPATH released draft guidelines which included, for the first time, the category of ‘eunuch’ as a protected “gender identity.” WPATH’s updated 8th edition of their Standards of Care (SOC), which recommends medical treatment and services for those with a self-declared ‘gender identity,’ describes the relationship between “eunuch-identified people and other transgender people.”

The document states, “Eunuch-identified people may share with other gender-diverse people a desire for reduction or elimination of masculine physical features, masculine genitals, or genital functioning.”

It also goes on to claim that “eunuch-identified people may suffer the same minority stress as other stigmatized groups,” and refers extensively to research collected from a hardcore fetish site called the Eunuch Archives — a site that features child sexual exploitation fantasies centered around stopping little boys from going through puberty.

The Eunuch Archive began in the late 1990s in collaboration with Body Modification Ezine (BME) and was initially hosted on the same site. BME achieved some notoriety in the early 2000’s for a viral video titled “Pain Olympics” which featured men mutilating their genitals on camera.

Prior to the official launch of the Archive itself, members would congregate on a Usenet forum by the same name, which advertised itself in a newsgroup dedicated to sadomasochism: alt.sex.bondage, a discussion group credited with coining the acronym BDSM in 1991.

In the newsgroup alt.eunuchs.questions, members shared castration fantasies, offered services, traded castration photos and videos, sought to connect with young men to “feminize,” asked for advice on chemical castration, and recommended doctors willing to perform surgeries without psychiatric evaluations. 

An FAQ document published at the beginning of the site’s development recommended several other torture and bondage pornography forums for users to share images and request “cutters.”

Notably, Usenet forums were the target of the FBI’s first investigations into internet-based pedophile rings, as it provided a space for organizing and exchanging of child sexual abuse materials, including written pornography.

Once the Archive was established, many of the notable members moved over to it.

One of the Eunuch Archives’ most prominent participants is an unidentified site administrator who uses the moniker ‘Jesus.’

‘Jesus’ claims to have been involved in editing the most recent version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), issued by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and WPATH’s newest Standards of Care draft.

In 2010, the pseudonymous ‘Jesus’ posted to the forum on how WPATH authorities had come to perceive the term “gender identity disorder” as outdated, saying he was in attendance at a 2009 meeting in Oslo, where there was consensus to implement the term “gender dysphoria” in the subsequent edition of the Standards of Care.

“The draft for the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (the DSM-5) suggests ‘Gender Incongruence,’ which I much prefer,” he wrote, “The body and mind are out of sync, with no mental illness implied!”

In 2016, ‘Jesus’ claimed to have been specifically chosen to rewrite a portion of the Standards of Care by former WPATH president Eli Coleman, who “pointed at me and announced that I was expected to provide input on eunuchs for the revision. Now is our opportunity to help devise the standards of care that will be most helpful,” wrote Jesus.

In 2018, ‘Jesus’ announced the upcoming revisions to the guidelines and invited collaboration from members of the community.

In response to WPATH’s newly-released draft Standards of Care in December last year, one site member professed to being “absolutely delighted,” and said he would “gladly throw millions under the bus” in order to secure “a future where doctors must obey and have no right to demand reasons or withhold surgery and medication.”

In WPATH’s draft Standards of Care, the Eunuch Archive’s ‘Fiction Archive’ is directly acknowledged and named. But the document does not mention the large amount of stories within the archive that directly involve the sadistic sexual abuse of children.

The stories primarily focus on the eroticization of child castration. In some, little boys request the procedures themselves and express gratitude to the adults who perform the operations. In others, children may be forcibly castrated under extreme duress. Some narratives contain violent sexualized depictions of children with stunted puberty being raped by doctors, written in sickening detail.

During our investigation, Reduxx was able to enter a password-protected area of the site within the Eunuch Archives community by completing a membership application.

New members who apply for registration are presented with a series of boxes to tick depending on their interest in joining the forum. Among the options are ‘transgender, nullification, forced castration, and female superiority / dominance’ – a BDSM genre commonly referred to as “femdom.”

Within the protected fiction archives, there were over 3,000 stories involving minors, including the explicit sexual abuse of children, and ‘minor’ was a specially-curated tag that users could select to easily access stories specifically featuring children.

The fictional pornography includes themes such as Nazi doctors castrating children, baby boys being fed milk with estrogen in order to be violently sex trafficked as adolescents, and pedophilic fantasies of children who have been castrated to halt their puberty, ‘freezing’ them in a childlike state.

A long-standing site contributor with connections to WPATH is Dr. Krister Hildahl Willette, who, according to his Facebook profile, studied Medical Sciences at Ohio State University.

Willette uses the moniker ‘Kristoff’ on the forum, alongside an avatar of a nun with a photograph of his face superimposed, hiking up her habit to reveal lingerie and a pink chainsaw.

In June 2009, Willette was invited by WPATH to speak on “The Development of Standards of Care for Individuals with a Male-to-Eunuch Gender Identity Disorder” at a conference in Oslo. In May 2010, the contents of Willette’s Oslo lecture were published in The International Journal of Transgenderism, an academic journal issued by WPATH. Willette, who co-authored the report, sources surveys conducted with the participation of members of the Eunuch Archives.

“A large number of men with gender dysphoria who desire to be emasculated do not fit the classical pattern of MtF transsexualism,” reads the abstract. “They loathe their manhood, but do not identify as, nor wish to be, female. Instead, they seek castration to become something outside the binary sexes.”

There are two disturbing videos of Willette posted to his Youtube channel. In both, he is dressed in a nun’s habit, holds a cigar, and shouts obscenities. In “Sister Krister on Cussing,” he roleplays as though addressing an audience of children while reading out a list of swear words.

In the other, “Sister Krister’s Safe Sex Message,” he waves around a condom while addressing children about the importance of prophylactics. 

Willette has made many repeated appeals for financial contributions from forum members. According to a 2019 post by Willette, the website at that time received over 20 million hits per month and was run on seven different servers, a situation that he was personally subsidizing.

Donations were being accepted via Paypal and through a “charitable educational corporation” set up by Willette. Donors were instructed to send cash payments to a P.O. Box in Minneapolis registered under the name Wyrm Wyvern.

Documents obtained by Reduxx reveal that Wyrm Wyvern was dissolved by the state of Minnesota for a violation of the Nonprofit Corporation Act, which asserts that the organization’s activities may not be for “personal gain.”

For nearly two decades, the Eunuch Archive has hosted an annual “Meeting of Members.” The event is held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Willette’s area of residence, and is co-hosted by Willette and the pseudonymous Jesus.

Minneapolis is also where WPATH’s headquarters were based for years, as well as the city where former WPATH president Eli Coleman currently lives and works. Coleman served as a lead chair overseeing the most recent updates to the WPATH Standards of Care.

In 2008, a group of researchers from Canada and California collaborated on a research project on the topic of the male castration fetish and published their findings in a paper titled, A Passion for Castration: Characterizing Men Who Are Fascinated with Castration, but Have Not Been Castrated.

According to the research, the majority (52%) of “wannabes” who fantasized about castration — whether chemical or surgical — selected sexual fantasy as their origin of interest in castration. Several respondents wrote about becoming sexually aroused when witnessing animal castration.

Over seven hundred individuals responded to a survey shared on The Eunuch Archive, describing their reasons for their ‘ambition toward eunuchdom.’

“For some, castration was a very important first step toward an MtF transition,” the study’s authors noted. “As MtF transsexuals, they sought to rid their bodies of unwanted testosterone, with or without supplemental estrogen to further their transition.”

One respondent wrote of his desire for “becoming ‘it’—a submissive guy without sex drive. More common was the slave metaphor, ‘as a slave it would allow a greater focus on serving the pleasure of the Master.'”

UPDATE 5/21/22: Reduxx has now learned the identity of the top site members mentioned in this piece who were previously unable to be identified. A comprehensive follow-up has now been published revealing ‘Jesus,’ a member of the forum who works extensively with WPATH, is a Professor Emeritus at California State University Chico.

“Male Breastfeeding” Post Sparks Concern On Social Media

By
Shay Woulahan
-

A Reddit post showing a trans-identified male “breast feeding” a newborn baby is circulating on Twitter and sparking concern and discussion from feminists.

On May 16, 2022, Reddit user u/AdmiralFisticuffs published a post on the r/MtF subreddit, a community of over 150,000 users for males who identify as women.

The post, titled “Oh my God I’m breastfeeding my daughter,” details how the user worked with a lactation consultant and his gender physician for several months prior to his female partner giving birth. The baby was born last week, and the user states the child has been alternating feedings between his wife, formula, and himself. The user also included a link to a photo gallery showing snapshots of himself “breast feeding” the baby. Since published just hours ago, the post has garnered over 1,000 ‘upvotes,’ bringing it to the top of the r/MtF page.

On Reddit, users offered congratulations and asked him for advice on how to replicate his results with lactation. In the comment section, u/AdmiralFisticuffs provided a step by step guide, detailing when to use an electric breast pump, and which cocktail of hormones he had to take to be able to lactate. He also notes he had to illicitly import domperidone from Canada, as it is not approved for use in the USA.

While the response within the transgender subreddit was largely positive, the user’s post was received drastically differently elsewhere on the web after the post was screen captured and began to circulate on Twitter.

https://twitter.com/miss_teabaggins/status/1526296409447743489?s=20&t=Cu_8-RmLyxMwOTD36mZmlQ

“This poor child. This is an experiment on an infant who can’t consent. This is abuse for validation and it’s disgusting” one user said.

In the replies, many expressed concerns that the child was being used as a tool to ‘affirm’ the man’s gender identity. Another user questioned whether the hormone-induced discharge from a man’s nipples would be healthy or safe for babies.

Speaking to Reduxx, retired physician Dr. Maja Bowen said she had “several concerns” about the practice.

“What comes out of a man’s nipple is not mother’s milk, but a watery substance devoid of antibodies and nutrients that are found in mother’s milk, the composition of which changes as the baby grows up.”

Dr. Bowen says that the few previous studies done on trans-identified males who have induced lactation show a paucity of evidence the discharge is nutritious or in equivalent of a mother’s breast milk.

“Men are not women or mothers. They are not designed to breast feed. So the question is why is this man doing this, when the baby has a mother and access to both actual breast milk and formula?” Dr. Bowen also notes that there are questions about the man’s intentions.

“For all we know, the mother is breast feeding and he is using the baby as a prop. What is the benefit to the baby here? It seems to be all about him and his needs.”

Peer-reviewed research into the nutritional value of male breast fluid is hard to come by, and some researchers report even having been discouraged from inquiring out of fear of medically justified “transphobia.”  

In 2018, an endocrinologist from Boston Medical Center claimed that breast feeding was an important method of validating a trans-identified male’s gender identity. 

In an interview with The New Scientist, Dr. Joshua Safer said: “Many transgender women are looking to have as many of the experiences of non-transgender women as they can, so I can see this will be extremely popular.”

Reports of trans-identified males seeking support from lactation consultants have increased. On social media, many new and breast feeding mothers have also stated they’ve noticed an increase in men attending breast-feeding groups.

Suicide of Norwegian Youth Calls Into Question Transitioning of Minors

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

The suicide of a Norwegian teen who was undergoing medical transition at the National Treatment Service for Gender Incongruence (NBTK) has raised concerns about the transitioning of minors.

A newly-released warning letter first issued in June 2021 by Oslo University Hospital cites the youth’s case, and is believed to have led to an investigation by the state into the administration of cross-sex hormones to youth under the age of 18.

The parents of the minor, who have chosen to remain anonymous, recently gave permission to the media to publish on their experience. Speaking with Blikk Magazine, they explained that the youth was placed on drugs to halt puberty by National Treatment Service for Gender Incongruence (NBTK) at Rikshospitalet. The NBTK, which was then called the National Treatment Service for Transsexualism, is under the authority of Oslo University Hospital.

While on puberty blockers, the teen was also privately being administered hormones by prominent sexologist and trans-identified male Dr. Esben Esther Pirelli Benestad, thereby undermining the NBTK’s policy banning cross-sex hormones for minors under the age of 16.

Dr. Esben Benestad.

Shortly after, the youth’s treatment was again overtaken by NBTK. Approximately four months later, the unnamed minor committed suicide.

According to the parents, the suicide is still being investigated, and a conclusion has not yet been reached as to the potential cause. Speaking with Blikk, the parents asserted that they did not oppose the transitioning of minors, and were instead concerned that their child’s death would lead to measures preventing other ‘trans teens’ from accessing ‘gender affirming’ medical procedures.

Yet despite the parents’ stated support for Benestad, he has a questionable history of circumventing protective protocols. In 2008 Benestad was reported to national health authorities for misconduct related to three of his female patients which he had referred for double mastectomies. In the process, Benestad fabricated diagnoses of health conditions in order to bypass medical guidelines.

In 2010, the Norwegian Board of Health issued a warning which, while it did not name Benestad specifically, detailed the exact scenario media reported he had been investigated for. According to the letter, a doctor specializing in the area of transsexualism had told health services that three female patients had certain neck conditions which would be alleviated by double mastectomies.

In the report accompanying the warning, the Board of Health stated that the unnamed doctor had argued his practices were necessary. They concluded that this practice had violated medical protocols by falsifying information. The ages of the female patients are not stated.

As previously reported by Reduxx, Benestad also has a sustained history of promoting the normalization of male sexual fetishes. Last year, he was criticized for assigning his students at the University of Agder to don fetish gear and attend a BDSM club.

Tonje Kristin Jensen, a student at the University of Agder, leaked the memo detailing the club’s dress code to the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. It read: “We have a dress code which relates to rubber, lacquer, leather, and the like. Or one can choose the erotic dress code, where lace, corsets and the like dominate.” Female students were also prohibited from wearing jeans, or other casual clothes.

In 2017, Benestad and his wife Elsa Almås published an abstract in the Journal of Sexual Medicine of a talk they gave titled, Autogynephilia and Autoandrophilia Revisited, which argues that the sexual arousal men experience through transvestic cross-dressing should be normalized, and arguing “it should be interpreted… as natural in persons who experience the erotic qualities of women’s / men’s garments.”

Benestad’s wife Almås is also a member of the Gender Dysphoria Affirmative Working Group [GDA], an organization that campaigns for the social and medical transitioning of minors. On its official website, the GDA quotes pornographer and trans-identified male Zinnia Jones, who in 2018 tweeted, “If TERFs are going to get into slut-shaming trans women I feel like they really need to get up to speed because they have no idea how fucked up we really are. Furry porn? Mommy stuff? How about fisting, prolapses, enemas, huge insertions, gangbangs.”

In a February 2021 NKO interview Benestad encouraged giving 11-year-olds pornography, answering the question of how to discuss pornography with a child by stating: “I would first of all ask him what kind of porn he thinks he needs.”

Speaking with Reduxx, a representative of the Norwegian branch of women’s rights organization Women’s Declaration International (WDI) noted that Dr. Benestad had compared those who self-declare a transgender status to Indigenous peoples, and criticized the belief that there is a separate category of humans who are born in the wrong body.

“Esben Pirelli Benestad and other transactivists want us to believe in the existence of transsexual children and to trust him with our children’s safety. His view of himself and of what constitutes responsible healthcare is simply astonishing in its hubris,” the WDI representative stated.

“We urge Norwegian authorities to investigate his practices, as well as other practitioners who share his views. It is physically impossible to be born with a sexed soul or to change the sex of a body, and to allow charlatans such as Benestad to build careers on selling such lies to vulnerable children and adults is nothing short of a medical and ethical catastrophe.”

The WDI spokeswoman says that Norwegian authorities can not claim they are unaware of the unethical practices taking place within gender identity clinics, noting that red flags and warning signs have been clear for years.

“We demand urgent action: these harmful practices have to be banned, and Benestads violation of children right to safety, which has resulted in the avoidable death of a minor, must be prosecuted.”

UK: Woman Assaulted by Trans Activists At Feminist Event

By
Jennifer Sieland
-

Footage from a feminist event in the U.K. is going viral today after a trans activist was caught on film 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 Speakers’ Corner hosted a pro-woman demonstration today led by vocal gender critical feminist Kellie-Jay Keen, also known as Posie Parker. The event, a peaceful demonstration of women and feminist allies in support of women’s sex-based rights, was quickly derailed by activist group Manchester Trans Rise Up.

The organization sent a number of black-clad ‘security’ guards to vandalize the nearby statue of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, draping it in trans-colored ribbons and flags, and also prevented feminist activists from going near it.

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 footage taken shows the woman being physically handled by the trans activists, with a male roughly grabbing her.

In the footage, which has almost 100,000 views at the time of this writing, the woman is seen attempting to hold one particularly aggressive man back and force him to keep his distance.

The man grabs at her arms and chest, and even slaps her wrist as she tries to keep her arms outstretched and hold him back. Over 10 seconds into the interaction, and the black-clad male is encouraged to stop touching the woman by another trans activist.

Shortly after, Police liaisons are seen entering the concrete circle surrounding the statue, with one stopping to talk to the woman who had been assaulted, but nothing seemingly being done about the man who had grabbed and slapped at her.

In a statement provided to Reduxx, women’s rights advocate Kellie-Jay Keen slammed the actions of the black-clad activists, comparing them to a child having a tantrum.

“Entitled spoiled men cannot help but act entitled and spoiled,” she said, “Their toddler like tantrums are not so cute when they’re adults. They are intimidating, aggressive and violent.”

Keen is known for her campaign Standing for Women, which focuses on an effort to ensure the language surrounding female issues is clearly articulated so that women’s sex-based rights are not eroded by gender ideology.

On the activists who attacked the female demonstrator, Keen concluded: “Men like that cannot bear the burden of responsibility for their miserable lives so they blame women, and for some any woman will do.”

The antics of the activists caught the attention of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who quote-retweeted another video showing footage of the black-clad ‘security’ refusing to allow podcast host Stephen Knight near the statue, which sits on public property.

Videos taken at the event have quickly gained widespread attention and backlash, with many noting the apparent irony of trans activists refusing to allow feminist demonstrators concerned about the status of women near a statue of a feminist advocate.

“I’m not sure I could ever forgive the people who advocate for this movement,” YouTuber @cbucksrules wrote on Twitter, “How do you think you’re on the right side of history when your people are anonymous and violent towards women?”

Others were incredulous that police did not intervene on the woman’s behalf.

“Police watch a woman being assaulted and then ignore the attacker in favor of having a stern word with the woman being attacked. Unbelievable.” Twitter user Andrew Dowd wrote in response to the video.

Another user noted that the scene bore striking resemblance to a photo depicting the statue’s likeness – Emmeline Pankhurst – being manhandled by police while demonstrating for women’s suffrage.

This isn’t the first time trans activists have violently targeted feminist demonstrations.

Last year, France was a hotbed of anti-feminist violence, with Résistance Lesbienne and other French feminist groups reporting several events which were disrupted by trans activists.

In July 2021, footage was circulated by Get The L Out UK showing lesbian demonstrators being physically assaulted by trans activists during Paris Pride for protesting against males identifying into lesbianism. Months prior, women who gathered to demonstrate against the sex trade at a statue at Palace de Rèpublique were pelted with eggs and assaulted with red spray paint in their eyes.

Later, the statue where the incident had taken place was spray painted with words translating to “save a trans person, kill a TERF.”

In Spain, a corpse-like effigy of Spain’s then-Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo was strung up from a tree in the  Plaza 8 de Marzo in Compostela, a reference to International Women’s Day and a warning ahead of the pro-woman events that would take place there.

Reino Unido: Mujer agredida por activista transgénero en evento feminista

By

-

Imágenes que fueron tomadas en un evento feminista en el Reino Unido se viralizaron luego de que un activista trans fuera grabado agrediendo físicamente a una mujer. El atacante formaba parte de una banda de uniformados de negro que impedía que las feministas se acercaran a la estatua de la sufragista Emmeline Pankhurst.

En el día de hoy el Manchester Speakers’ Corner organizó una manifestación en apoyo a los derechos de la mujer liderada por la feminista crítica Kellie-Jay Keen, también conocida como Posie Parker. El evento, una manifestación pacífica de mujeres y aliadas feministas en defensa de los derechos sexuales de las féminas, fue saboteado por el grupo activista Trans Rise Up de Manchester.

La organización envió a varios “guardias de seguridad” vestidos de negro para vandalizar los accesos a la estatua de la sufragista Emmeline Pankhurst, cubriéndola con cintas y banderas alusivas al movimiento transgénero, y también impidiendo que las activistas feministas pudieran acercarse al lugar.

Durante el evento, una solitaria feminista se acercó a la estatua, aparentemente con la intención de colocar a sus pies una bandera con los colores del movimiento sufragista. Pero las imágenes tomadas muestran a la mujer siendo maltratada físicamente por los activistas trans.

En el video, que tiene casi 100,000 visitas al momento de escribir este artículo, se puede ver a la victima intentando mantener a distancia a un hombre particularmente agresivo.

El hombre la agarra por los brazos y el pecho, e incluso le golpea las muñecas mientras ella trata de mantener sus brazos extendidos para alejarlo. Más de 10 segundos después de la agresión, otro activista trans logra convencer al hombre de negro a que deje de manosear a la mujer.

Poco después, se ven a los funcionarios policiales entrar en el círculo de concreto que rodea a la estatua, uno de los cuales se detiene para hablar con la víctima, pero aparentemente no se tomaron medidas contra el sujeto que la agarró y abofeteó.

En declaraciones ofrecidas a Reduxx, la defensora de los derechos de la mujer Kellie-Jay Keen fustigó las acciones de los revoltosos de negro, comparándolos a niños con rabietas

“Los hombres mimados no pueden resistir actuar como mimados”, dijo, “Sus berrinches de niños pequeños no son tan lindos cuando llegan a la adultez. Son intimidantes, agresivos y violentos”.

Keen es conocida por su campaña Standing for Women, que se enfoca en garantizar que el lenguaje que rodea los problemas femeninos se articule claramente para que los derechos femeninos basados en el sexo no se vean erosionados por la ideología de género.

Con relación a los activistas que atacaron a la mujer manifestante, Keen concluyó: “Hombres así no pueden soportar la carga de la responsabilidad de sus vidas miserables, por lo que culpan a las mujeres, y para algunos, toda mujer es culpable”.

Las payasadas de los activistas llamaron la atención de la autora de Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling, quien citó y retuiteó otro video que muestra imágenes de la “seguridad” negándose a permitir que el presentador de podcast Stephen Knight se acercara a la estatua, que se encuentra en un espacio público.

Los videos tomados en el evento rápidamente ganaron la atención y rechazo del público. Muchos notaron la aparente ironía de que los activistas trans se negaran a permitir que las manifestantes feministas preocupadas por la situación de las mujeres se acercaran a la estatua de una defensora del feminismo.

“No estoy seguro de poder perdonar a las personas que apoyan a este movimiento”, escribió el YouTuber @cbucksrules en Twitter, “¿Cómo puedes creer que estás del lado correcto de la historia cuando tu gente es anónima y violenta hacia las mujeres? ”

Otros se mostraron incrédulos de que la policía no interviniera en favor de la mujer agredida.

“La policía observa a una mujer siendo agredida, ignora al atacante prefiriendo regañar a la victima. Increíble.” El usuario de Twitter Andrew Dowd escribió en respuesta al video.

Otro usuario notó que la escena se parecía mucho a una foto que mostraba la imagen de la estatua, Emmeline Pankhurst, siendo maltratada por la policía mientras luchaba por el sufragio femenino.

Esta no es la primera vez que activistas trans atacan violentamente a manifestaciones feministas.

El año pasado, Francia fue un semillero de violencia antifeminista, con Résistance Lesbienne y otros grupos feministas franceses informando sobre varios eventos que fueron interrumpidos por activistas trans.

En julio de 2021, Get The L Out UK hizo circular imágenes que mostraban a manifestantes lesbianas siendo agredidas físicamente por activistas trans durante el Orgullo de París por protestar contra los hombres que se identifican con el lesbianismo. Meses antes, un grupo de mujeres que se reunió para manifestar en contra del comercio sexual frente una estatua del Palacio de la República y recibieron ataques con huevos y aerosol rojo en los ojos.

Más tarde, la estatua donde se dio el incidente fue pintada con aerosol con palabras que se traducen como “salva a una persona trans, mata a un TERF”.

En España, una efigie cadavérica de la entonces Vicepresidenta del Gobierno Carmen Calvo fue colgada de un árbol en la Plaza 8 de Marzo de Compostela, una referencia al Día Internacional de la Mujer y una advertencia antes de los eventos a favor de la mujer que tendrían lugar allí.

NZ: Trans-Identified Male Behind Stabbing Attack at Indian Restaurant

The identity of the suspect behind a vicious stabbing attack at an Indian restaurant in Cambridge, New Zealand has been revealed due to a lapse in name suppression.

Matthew Richard Nelson, a male who identifies as a woman named Emma, appeared in Hamilton District Court on May 5. Nelson’s name had previously been withheld from the public, but has now been revealed as the case has gone to court and name suppression has not been re-applied.

Nelson is accused of stabbing three victims with a knife at the Sahara India Restaurant on May 4. One of the victims, a female, was Nelson’s former partner. A police summary of the incident that was presented to the Hamilton District Court said the attacker acted in a “quick and aggressive manner.”

Nelson had entered through the rear door of the Indian restaurant and stabbed a male staff member in the shoulder as he worked in the kitchen.

Another worker, a female, has been confirmed as Nelson’s ex-partner. Nelson slashed her in the face and stabbed her in the upper back, causing her to suffer a punctured lung. She is currently hospitalized at Waikato Hospital in critical condition, with reports stating she has blood in her chest cavity.

A customer who attempted to intervene and save the two was similarly attacked, losing over a liter of blood after he sustained an injury to his abdomen.

Nelson then grabbed a chair, which he used to smash the restaurant’s front windows, and fled.

While being forensically swabbed in police custody by a doctor, Nelson is alleged to have remarked: “this is a bit excessive for only stabbing three people.”

Details on the motive for the attack are not currently known.

Nelson is charged with three counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and one of causing willful damage. He has yet to enter his plea and is scheduled to appear in court again on May 18.

In local media coverage, outlets referred to Nelson using ‘she/her’ pronouns, with other sources referring to the attack as being the fault of a ‘woman.’

UK: Trans-Identified Pedophile Blames ‘Male’ Self for Offending

By
Genevieve Gluck

Carlisle Crown Court

A U.K. sex offender who identifies as transgender has been caught with extreme pornographic images which depict the rape of children in an “explicit and realistic way.”

On March 17, Carlisle Crown Court heard how Jasmine Challands, 46, whose birth name is Peter James Challands, hid two mass-storage USB devices in a box of Legos. Investigators discovered the devices and the child sexual abuse materials they contained during a routine inspection for compliance to a sexual harm prevention order, which included an obligation to inform police about any digital storage devices.

In an interview with police at the time of his arrest on March 16, Challands blamed his “former” male self for the offending, saying, “Peter was responsible for them.” Challands emphasized that Peter, rather than Jasmine, had “bad” things on the USB devices which reflected fantasies of sexually abusing children.

Challands’ defense attorney, Jeff Smith, told the court that his client no longer wished to be a man and was beginning a transition process. Magistrates were told that Challands is a “tortured” individual who is now struggling with his identity.

“[He] tells me this will take 10 to 11 years,” said the lawyer. “So [he] is tortured, regarded by no one, and respected by no one. [He’s] said to me in the cells that [he] doesn’t know who [he] is, what [he] is, where [he’s] going, or where [he] belongs.”

Challands had been a registered sex offender since 2019, when he was previously convicted for making and possessing animated child sexual abuse images. Official court records detail that within the five allegations against Challands of possessing child sexual abuse materials there were over 10,000 indecent images. Some of the media met the standard to be classified as ‘category A,’ the most severe form of child sexual exploitation image which includes penetrative sex, sexual activity with an animal, and/or sadism.

At the time, Challands had spent on remand the equivalent of a 14-month jail sentence, but was freed in 2020 under the condition of a five-year sexual harm prevention order. He was released despite having admitted to four new charges: failing to comply with Sex Offender Registration rules, twice breaching a court order to prevent offending, and failing to tell police that he had a computer flash-drive device.

Challands protested his own release, saying he felt safe in jail. Mark Shepherd, representing him in 2020, said: “He clearly wishes to remain in prison and finds comfort within the prison system far greater than he felt in the community.”

However, Judge Nicholas Barker said continuing to jail Challands would not offer any form of “protective package” to the public. “Prisons are not there to house vulnerable individuals,” said Judge Barker. “They are there as centers of punishment and to control risk.”

The judge imposed a three year community order, with 20 days of rehabilitation and a Sex Offenders’ treatment program. Challands was also given a five year Sexual Harm Prevention Order and put on the Sex Offenders’ Register for the same period.

Challands is currently remanded to Durham Prison and has yet to enter a plea regarding the new charges against him. His case will be heard in Carlisle Crown Court on May 16.

Local media News and Star referred to Challands as a “woman” and did not reference his self-declared gender identity in their most recent news report concerning current charges.

Challands’ bizarre claims bear some similarity to those of U.S. serial killer Donna Perry.

Born Douglas Robert Perry, the sadistic killer murdered three prostituted women in a four-month timeframe in 1990. During his trial for the slayings, 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.

Disgraced Instructor Who Called Pedophiles “Minor Attracted People” Hired at Child Safeguarding Center

By
Reduxx Team
-

A Johns Hopkins-affiliated public research center is facing backlash after hiring an instructor who was forced to resign from their University after defending the “dignity” of “minor attracted people,” and entertaining theories about giving pedophiles “high quality child pornography.”

On May 12, the Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse announced that disgraced Old Dominion University instructor Allyn Walker would be joining the Center as a postdoctoral fellow.

Walker, a female-to-male transgender who identifies as non-binary, was the subject of widespread controversy last year after she sat down for an interview with Prostasia – a registered 503c which many have called “pro-pedophile” for their stances on legalizing child-like sex dolls and routinely comparing pedophilia to a sexuality.

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

In the interview, Walker stated she used the term “minor attracted people” out of consideration for pedophile’s feelings, noting “… I think it’s important to use terminology for groups that members of that group want others to use for them.” She also stated that “MAP advocacy groups like B4U-Act have advocated for use of the term, and they’ve advocated for it primarily because it’s less stigmatizing than other terms like pedophile.”

While Walker initially noted in the interview that she was not seeking to answer the question of whether or not she considered pedophilia a sexual orientation, her later comments suggest she did place it on a similar spectrum.

“… on one hand, just because someone has attractions to children, doesn’t mean that they will never experience attraction to adults as well, or even that their attractions to children will persist for their entire lives.” She said, “Sexuality can be fluid, and there are many MAPs who have a range of attractions to both children and adults.”

At another point in the interview, Walker stated she “sort of empathize[s]” with pedophiles because of identifying as Queer.

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

The backlash was so severe that Old Dominion University President Brian O. Hemphill was forced to issue a statement just days after the interview was released, and soon after placed Walker on administrative leave. On November 26, a joint statement issued by ODU announced that Walker was resigning from ODU. In it, Walker blamed media as well as transphobia for “mischaracterizing” her work.

Speaking with Reduxx, Dr. Alaric Naudé called Walker’s new position “insane.”

Dr. Naudé is a Professor focused on social sciences and linguistics at Suwon University in South Korea. In February, he had his research on Prostasia removed from The British Journal of Sociology and History just 24 hours after it was first published after the organization pushed the Journal to remove it.

The article, titled A Case Study via Sociolinguistic Analysis of [a] Covert Pro-Pedophilia Organization Registered as a Child Protection Charity, focused on how Prostasia claimed to be for child protection but built a narrative framing pedophiles as victims of “an oppressive social structure.” Dr. Naudé found that many organizations “claiming to want to protect children” had “linguistic markers [denoting] that something else was their intention.”

Dr. Naudé emphasized how the Moore Center’s partnership with Walker demonstrated a microcosm of a much larger issue.

“The example of Dr. Walker being welcomed along with her ideology to the Moore Center is a piece of a puzzle. The parts of the puzzle continue to come together to give us a clearer picture of the pro-pedophilia agenda being pushed by an unholy triad of academia, psychology associations and pseudo-child protection groups,” Dr. Naudé asserted.

“The façade of safe guarding and child protection that fosters pedophilia as a sexuality is now becoming a perverse parody which if left will eventually result in pedophiles becoming a protected group. This will be a disaster for decades of work attempting to eradicate the pestilence of child abuse in society,” Dr. Naudé said.

Last fall, while Walker’s views were being lambasted by the media, director of the Moore Center Elizabeth Letourneau published an op-ed in The Washington Post defending her. In the op-ed, Letourneau states she also prefers ‘minor attracted person’ to ‘pedophile.’

The Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse is affiliated with the John Hopkins medical establishment, which has a long history of endorsing theories related to child sexuality in addition to promoting transsexual surgeries.

John Money, who coined the term “gender identity,” was a sexologist and psychologist who founded the Gender Identity Clinic at Johns Hopkins University in 1966 and started an extensive research program on the medical treatment of sexual paraphilias and on “sex reassignment” procedures.

Dr. Fred Berlin, a controversial psychiatrist who was mentored by Money, had a clinic within Johns Hopkins until the mid-1990s. Berlin is infamously known for protesting against a law that required mental health professionals to alert police when they were aware a client was actively sexually abusing a child.

Berlin managed to gain an exemption to that mandatory reporting law for his clients for a period of time, something which sparked outrage amongst child safeguarding groups.

ACLU Claims “Males, Females” Do Not Exist: Court Docs

By
Anna Slatz
-

The American Civil Liberties Union is intervening in a lawsuit launched by four female inmates who were subjected to abuse at the hands of trans-identified male transfers. In the intervention, the ACLU claims that human beings are “not sexually dimorphic,” and that males have no biological differences from females.

In November of 2021, the Women’s Liberation front (WoLF) launched a lawsuit against the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) in response to the state’s transfer of male inmates to women’s prisons. In the suit, WoLF included representation for four female inmates currently incarcerated in the state who had experienced violations of their rights at the hands of male inmates who had been transferred under SB-132, one of which was sexually assaulted by a trans-identified male transfer.

SB-132, or the Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act, went into effect in January of 2021, and allowed male inmates to seek transfer to women’s prisons on the basis of self-declared gender identity. Male inmates did not have to be on hormones, have surgery, be diagnosed with gender dysphoria, or even have legal documents supporting their transgender status in order to gain transfer.

But the ACLU has now filed a motion to intervene in the suit, claiming the state of California cannot adequately represent their interests against WoLF, and that they must join in to defend SB-132.

But in the motion, filed on May 9 in the Fresno District Court, the ACLU not only rejects the details in WoLF’s suit, it also makes some bold assertions — including that “males” and “females” do not exist.

“Proposed Intervenors deny that ‘men as a class’ are defined and differentiated from ‘women as a class’ by their ‘anatomy, genitalia, physical characteristics, and physiology,'” the ACLU writes, going on to state that they “deny the allegation” that there are anatomical, genital, and physical characteristics that differentiate men from women.

The ACLU also claims that human beings are not sexually dimorphic, and there are no reproductive systems, hormones, or chromosomes which result in differences between males and females.

Speaking to Reduxx, WoLF legal director Lauren Adams expressed a mix of confusion and amusement at the ACLU’s claims in the filing. But rather than seeing it as an obstacle, Adams says there is opportunity that bodes well for WoLF’s position.

“The ACLU is suggesting that the state of California is not going to adequately represent their position because some officials don’t agree with the policy… to that, I would say: well, yeah! Once people find out what the policy is, they largely don’t support it,” she says, continuing: “The officials likely recognize they cannot keep women safe while successfully implementing the policy.”

Adams says the ACLU’s intervention may be the result of a concern that the state might be more inclined to protect incarcerated women than trans-identified males.

“I think the fact that the state is even saying that they care about the women’s safety is a threat to the ACLU. They joined in to make sure that there was at least one party in the case that didn’t care about women at all.”

Adams says that the ACLU often leverages their argument for transferring men into women’s institutions on the basis of a claimed risk of victimization while in a men’s institution, something Adams believes opens the door to an argument that they are also at a higher risk of perpetration.

“If you are saying this group has a risk of victimization, we can say the group also has a risk of perpetration. In the federal system, one-third of the substantiated prison rape complaints include a victim who was a sex offender. That is, in fact, the single biggest risk factor of being a victim of prison rape in male prisons.”

Adams notes that, despite ample evidence to the contrary, the ACLU denies that sex offenders were disproportionately represented amongst trans-identified male inmates, a claim that is easy to debunk.

“One-third of the requests for transfer from men’s prisons to women’s prisons include an inmate who had been convicted of a sex offense,” Adams says, noting that the figures are similarly stark in the federal prison system, where 48% of trans-identified male inmates were imprisoned on a sex offense.

“Ultimately what we are dealing with is a complete denial of reality,” Adams says, “The ACLU along with every person on this planet knows what men and women are, and what makes them different. Their denial of this fact in order to validate the identities of male offenders is embarrassing.”

WoLF is expected to file their response to the ACLU’s intervention by May 31.
