A Kansas man who sexually abused a 14 year-old girl was featured in sympathetic articles decrying the hardships faced by trans-identified inmates in prison.
Rayne Bennett, formerly known as Jacob Lawrence Pina, was convicted in 2016 of indecent liberties with a child and was placed on a sex offender registry for 25 years. According to the 2016 KSN Newscoverage on the attack, Bennett forcibly imprisoned the girl at his residence and raped her.
Bennett was detained, then released while awaiting trial, likely on bail. It was at this time that he began claiming a transgender identity and adopted the alias Rayne Aloysius Constantine Rose Bennett.
Upon conviction, Bennett was placed in a men’s facility. He then sought out a behavioral health professional and a diagnosis for gender dysphoria in order to secure a transfer to a women’s institution, but was rejected by prison medical staff who did not believe he was transgender.
Bennett was given platform to complain about poor treatment by Kansas correctional staff, and frame a narrative in which males should be allowed to transfer into women’s institutions based on self-identification.
Bennett claimed he filed multiple complaints against prison staff for misconduct, including misgendering, but Kansas Department of Corrections denies having copies of any such complaints filed.
Bennett told news outlet The Topeka Capitol-Journal that since he began claiming a female identity and taking hormones, “not only are the looks different, the personality is dramatically different.”
In all instances, media referred to Bennett by “she/her” pronouns, and in none of the articles was his past history of child sexual abuse mentioned.

USA Today is under fire after publishing an article which appeared to suggest that the belief that pedophiles are a danger to children is based in “misconceptions.” Utilized in the article as a source for those claims is a psychologist who has affiliations to pedophile-sympathetic charity Prostasia.
Published on January 10th, the article inciting backlash was initially titled “What the Public Keeps Getting Wrong About Pedophilia.” After a wave of concern about the sympathetic nature of the piece, the outlet hastily changed the headline of the article to “The Complicated Research Behind Pedophilia.”
Initially, the article had also been accompanied by a thread on USA Today Life’s official Twitter, one which asserted that pedophilia was innate, and attempted to distance the word “pedophile” from being synonymous with “child sexual abuse.”
Along with the original headline, the thread was quickly deleted, and USA Today immediately went into damage control to try and quell the outrage, publishing a multi-part thread attempting to explain the original posts, which the outlet claimed “lacked context.”
But while many netizens rightfully directed their ire towards the headline and the outlet’s original posts, many glossed over the fact that the gushing article relied heavily upon information provided Dr. James Cantor – a Canadian psychologist known to work with pedophilia-sympathetic ‘charity’ Prostasia.
Prostasia claims pedophilia is no different than any other sexuality, a sentiment shared by Cantor on his personal Twitter account. In 2018, Cantor sparked backlash for suggesting pedophilia be added to the LGBT spectrum.
In response to a post by Virtuous Pedophiles – an organization of adults who admit they have a sexual attraction to children but claim to be ‘chaste’ – Cantor wrote: “Speaking as a gay [man], I believe we SHOULD include the P. To do otherwise is to betray the principles that give us our rights.”
In another one of its campaigns, Prostasia argued against the necessity of the sex offender registry, and published multiple articles against the tracking of convicted sex offenders written by another one of its contributors, Guy Hamilton-Smith.
Hamilton-Smith, a lawyer in the state of Kentucky, wrote several times for the Prostasia blog that measures to keep registered sex offenders away from children, such as school-zone bans, were ineffective and unnecessary.
The USA Today article also makes reference to Allyn Walker, the now-former Old Dominion Universityinstructor who recently resigned from her post after sparking backlash for defending “minor attraction.” The article states that there is growing support for Walker’s perspective that the better treatment and destigmatization of pedophiles would prevent offending.
Walker’s PhD thesis included apparent support for exploring the possibility of supplying pedophiles with “ethical” child pornography.

Sarah Jane Baker, England’s longest-serving trans-identified prisoner, has stated his intention to run for public office in a bid to become the first transgender Member of Parliament.
Previously known as Alan Baker, the 52 year-old spent 30 years in prison for attempting to murder another prisoner after being previously convicted for kidnapping and torturing his stepmother’s brother.
Baker told Southwark News that he aims to stand for election to the Richmond Park seat. “I want a seat at the big table, if I am to make the changes I want,” he said. The news outlet referred to Baker as a “woman” throughout and highlights his ‘dedication’ to the prison abolition movement since being released in 2019.
Last June, Baker was photographed at London’s Pride Parade holding signs which read, “Be Trans, Do Crime”. A sign in an identical style – red spray paint – that read, “Kill JK Rowling” was placed on the Bomber Command Memorial, prompting speculation that Baker was responsible for the death threat.
The person who displayed the sign threatening JK Rowling at London's Pride event is Sarah Jane Baker, UK’s longest-serving transgender prisoner, jailed for kidnapping & torturing a relative, whose sentence was extended after trying to kill another inmate.https://t.co/wImX0LGS6Ypic.twitter.com/J0jEUAe5In
In 2013 Baker made headlines when he began identifying as “Sarah” and costing taxpayers £10,000 for what media referred to as a “sex change”. Baker once boasted that he never wanted to be freed, describing himself as a “professional prisoner.”
During a 2009 hearing, he stated: “I am happy to be locked away. Doing bird is the one thing I excel at. I have no responsibility, free food, laundry, healthcare, a job and my Open University course costs me nothing.”
Baker has published a book titled Transgender Behind Prison Walls which provides “a range of support mechanisms” and legal information for male inmates on how to gain advantages by declaring themselves to be women.
The Canadian Bar Association had issued a series of recommendations and directives to the Correctional Service of Canada demanding violent male criminals be accommodated in women’s prisons, and to ensure their biological sex is never recorded.
“In our view, [Commissioner’s Directive 100] is based on the incorrect assumption that people are fundamentally men or women (or intersex) based on biology at birth,” the CBA writes, “we recommend that the policy be based on the assumption that people have the right to be placed in institutions that reflect their gender identity if that is their choice.”
The CBA goes on to suggest that almost no health or safety concerns be taken into consideration in most cases, including in transfers and double-bunking. On page 4 of the letter, the CBA writes that transfers should be made “without exception.”
“We recommend that CSC implement a policy of gender identity placement if that is the preference, without exception. In practice, the application of this exception has led to some trans women being denied placement at women’s prisons based on risk speculation.”
The letter asserts that trans prisoners are at “higher risk” of violence than non-trans inmates, and that their safety and comfort should take paramount above all other considerations. On page 4, the CBA seems to argue that behaviourally difficult trans inmates may be experiencing “institutional adjustment” that may resolve if they were moved to a lower security institution.
Going even further, the CBA recommends that a prisoner’s biological sex never be recorded or maintained. On page 3 of the letter, the CBA states that it does “not find it appropriate to record an individual’s sex in the Offender Management System (OMS), or to expect prisoners to disclose their sex or gender.”
The letter was issued on behalf of the CBA and its 36,000 members, which includes lawyers, notaries, academics and law students. In 2009, the CBA established a Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Community section (SOGIC) which focused exclusively on issues pertaining to “LGBTQ2SI+” legal matters. The 200-member SOGIC section has since been responsible for a number of controversial trans activist pushes, including crafting a pronoun policy in British Columbia courts which required all lawyers to declare their pronouns.
One prominent lead of SOGIC is non-binary lawyer Adrienne Smith, who most infamously demonstrated support for Jonathan/Jessica Yaniv — a trans-identified male who made waves after targeting female Muslim and Sikh immigrant salon workers with demands they provide genital waxing services to him. When the women would demonstrate religious hesitation to do so, Yaniv would launch lawsuits and campaigns of racist abuse against their businesses.
Parents of students at Raleigh Hills Elementary School in Beaverton, Oregon are expressing frustration over the establishment of a new “gender and sexualities” club for fourth and fifth graders aged 9 to 11 years old.
Concerns were raised at a January 18 virtual school board meeting where parents asked the necessity and appropriateness of the club, which was started at the beginning of January. Multiple parents noted that they had not been informed about the club’s existence, nor were they invited to provide input.
“These kids are far too young to be learning about this subject at school,” one parent said during the meeting, asserting that parents should be responsible for educating their children on “different lifestyles.”
According to school board officials, the club was created by two fifth-grade students who identify as transgender and is a student-run, non-staff facilitated venture. But one parent, Jeanette Schade, challenged that narrative, noting that she had received indications from school documents that teachers had been working to keep the club “secretive” and actively avoid divulging its existence to parents.
“You cannot tell me that this club is being run by students. This club is very clearly directed by staff.”
Schade is a former educator who runs a community organization called Build Back Basics in Education. She says she filed a public records request for information related to the club at the school, and found several teachers were involved and had planned its creation in November of 2021.
Following Schade’s comments, another parent wearing a rainbow-flag scarf was invited to speak. Elessia Buddress stated her daughter was in a leadership role within the sexualities club, and called parents opposed or concerned about the club’s existence “homophobic, transphobic, [and] queerphobic.”
Since its inception just two weeks ago, the club has apparently gained over 40 members at the school — almost 8% of its total student body.
Robert Glanowski, 36, has been designated as a wanted fugitive in the state of New York. The Department of Special Operations has included Glanowski on a list of one of its Most Wanted, and has warned the public that he “should be considered armed and dangerous.”
According to his profile, Glanowski is a registered sex offender and raped a 10 year old girl in Tonawanda, New York. The listing also notes that he “identifies as a female.”
The rape occurred in February of 2008 after Glanowski became romantically involved with the girl’s mother. He’d moved in with the family in November of 2007 and took on a paternal role. One of the sexual assaults took place while Glanowski was reading the girl a bedtime story, with others taking place over the course of Glanowski’s residence at their home.
In March, the victim would confide in relatives and reveal the abuse she’d been experiencing. Her grandparents immediately called the police, and a hospital examination of the girl demonstrated signs of sexual trauma.
In 2014, Glanowski attempted to seek a name change but was denied by the New York Supreme Court. His 2016 appeal was also quickly denied, with the ruling noting that the name change “would create record-keeping problems for law enforcement officials and would create potential danger to the victim and the general public.”
Glanowski is described as being 5’10 and weighing 210lbs. In a provided mugshot he is seen with long, dark hair and wearing glasses.
Anyone with information on Glanowski’s whereabouts is encouraged to call Investigator Dan Higgins at 716-846-5723, or Senior Investigator Dan Davis at 518-527-9523.
For many, charitable status is a legitimizing factor taken into consideration when choosing what organization or foundation to donate to. Government recognition that an entity’s work is valid enough to exempt them from taxes is often a good indicator of the work’s importance. However, there are always exceptions.
California-based charity Prostasia is one such deviation to the rule, the organization having been given IRS tax exemption in 2018. While marketing itself as a children’s rights organization, Prostasia is a veritable grab-bag of causes surrounding sex and sexuality, but there is plenty of evidence to demonstrate that the real story is not so simple.In Prostasia’s blog entries, “child protection” routinely ends up in the same sentences as “free speech,” “kink,” or “sex positivity.” The topics of age play, furries, hentai, and prostitution are spoken about no differently as, and often with no barrier between, child sexuality and child sexual abuse.
It is here, in the not-so-hidden depths of Prostasia’s pet causes, where it begins to mutate into something far more malicious, deviating very heavily from its veneer of supporting child safeguarding. In fact, protecting children from exposure to sex abuse seems to not just be at the very bottom of Prostasia’s to-do list, it is almost antithetical to its entire existence.Prostasia sees the threat pedophiles pose to children as a bogeyman dreamed up by the alt-right, while condemning anti-pedophile sentiment as harmful “Nazi-like” rhetoric which requires mass censorship across social media.
Once these threads quickly unravel, Prostasia’s goals and underlying purpose becomes increasingly clear. Despite its attempts to role play as a mere progressive activist organization, all of Prostasia’s goals and campaigns lead to the exact same conclusion: The total normalization and acceptance of pedophilia in wider society.
Prostasia hosts a forum in which members are invited to start conversations on anything they wish without stigmatization. In many cases, the subject returns to the “liberation” of MAPs – or, Minor Attracted People – a more socially acceptable way to refer to pedophiles. Most of the pro-pedophilia discussion happens in the forum’s dedicated Sex Positivity section.
In an attempt to give itself legitimacy, Prostasia employs a wide variety of pseudo-scientific jargon and quack references which they utilize as justification for their positions. But in almost no cases do these assertions find themselves very widely shared amongst academics or experts which do not have a relationship with pro-pedophilia movements or statements.It repeatedly claims there is evidence to support that pedophilia is “comparable to a sexual orientation,” while citing Toronto psychiatrist Dr. James Cantor, who is infamous for his Tweets demanding the inclusion of pedophiles in the LGBT spectrum. Cantor is a member of the Prostasia team.
In another one of its campaigns, one focused on arguing against the necessity of the sex offender registry, it provided multiple articles written by another one of its then-staff, Guy Hamilton-Smith.
Hamilton-Smith, a lawyer in the state of Kentucky, wrote several times for the Prostasia blog that measures to keep registered sex offenders away from children, such as school-zone bans, were ineffective and unnecessary.
A quick search in the publicly available database of registered sex offenders found that Guy Hamilton-Smith was registered after being caught with child sexual exploitation material.
Most recently, writer Noah Berlatsky was taken in as a director at Prostasia. Berlatsky previously came under fire for writing an article published in New Republic under the title “Child Sex Worker’s Biggest Threat: The Police” in which he lamented the treatment of “children engaged in survival sex” by police officers. While fighting corruption within the justice system is certainly a valid issue, at no point did Berlatsky note the obvious fact that children cannot consent to sexual activity of any kind, instead spending his article suggesting that children forced into prostitution were willing participants in an oppressed, but legitimate, trade.
This author was also subject to disturbing, erratic behavior from Malcolm after calling his organization into question in 2019. Malcolm insisted I was a racist neo-nazi sympathizer, and republished photos of me as a young child with abusive captions.
Ultimately, Prostasia is no normal 503c charity, and its attempts to gain legitimacy and forward their agenda into the mainstream should not just be rejected, but actively fought against. Any individuals associated with the organization in any way should have their motivations called into question, because there is simply too much information on the group’s activities and history available out there for any excuses of good-faith ignorance to be believable.
Protecting children from sexual abuse is an important and righteous cause. But, like the vast majority of us, I’m under the impression it can be done without coddling pedophiles and their sympathizers.

A man who identifies as a woman has been spared a jail sentence despite being convicted of being in possession of sadistic child pornography.
Louise Foord, born Lewis, was apprehended at his home in Colchester after a breach of a protection order related to a previous sex attack he committed in 2019. The order required Foord, 21, to register all social media accounts, names, and banking information with police so they could keep tabs on his behavior.
Police learned Foord had been utilizing two Instagram accounts and a new banking card without having notified them, and seized his devices for investigation.
During a search of his iPad and iPhone, police found over 250 images and videos of children being sexually abused. Some of the media included toddlers and had “hallmarks of sadism.”107 pieces of the media were logged as Category A, the most serious type of child sexual abuse material. Category A media features children abused via penetrative sexual activity, sexual activity with an animal, or sadism. Foord admitted 10 counts of making indecent images of children, and 2 counts of breaching order notification requirements.
Despite the discovery and his lengthy history of sexual predation, as well as a guilty plea submitted by Foord, the Crown Court at Ipswitch spared him an immediate prison term, suspending the 22-month sentence for two years.
A transgender teen has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for the brutal murder of her mother, with another transgender teen awaiting sentencing for his role.
Emma “Kenny” Kenner of Colorado Springs was 16 years old when she stabbed her mother to death in the spring of 2020. Emma is biologically female, but identifies as a boy.
Kenner was romantically involved with a 19-year-old biological male who identifies as a woman named Cohen “Vinn” Heath, who was also arrested as a suspect in the killing. Heath identifies as transgender and is referred to by “she/her” pronouns in local news reports. Heath had previously been arrested months before the murder for animal cruelty after he stabbed his mother’s cat, killing the pet and keeping the mutilated body as a “memento.”
During the 2019 animal cruelty incident, Heath told police he commited the crime “because it would be easier” than killing his own mother. According to an arrest affidavit obtained by local news outlet KRDO, a co-worker called the police when 44 year-old Bridget Kenner did not show up for work. When police entered the home, they found Kenner’s body in the living room with multiple stab wounds, along with a bloody knife.
Cohen “Vinn” Heath was found at a 7-Eleven roughly a mile away. During a police interview, Heath, who was at the victim’s home at the time of the murder, claimed he was asleep in Kenner’s room in the basement when he was awoken by Bridget Kenner’s screaming. Heath told law enforcement he could hear Bridget pleading with her daughter for her life.
Heath went on to tell police an altercation began after Bridget Kenner caught her daughter trying to cut herself. Recent wounds on Kenner’s body indicated a pattern of self-harm. Heath helped Kenner flee the scene and the pair had planned to relocate to Texas.
According to the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, Heath’s trial is set for March 1, 2022.
A global health body setting standards of care for transgender people is seeking to include men with castration fetishes under the transgender umbrella, and links to a disturbing site hosting written child pornography in its guidebook.
The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) released its newly-issued Standards of Care (SoC8) on December 2. The document details WPATH’s intention to include men who seek out castration, also known as eunuchs, as part of the transgender community.
We are excited to announce that the Public Comment Period for the Draft WPATH Standards of Care 8 is NOW OPEN. Review the Draft Chapters and leave your feedback for the SOC8 Committee by Thursday, December 16: https://t.co/8lKx0B3oct
But perhaps even more disturbingly, the guide also sources an online forum called The Eunuch Archives, which hosts a catalogue of disturbing fetish stories, some of which feature children.
According to the document’s chapter:“The greatest wealth of information about contemporary eunuch-identified people is found within the large on-line peer-support community that congregates on sites such as the Eunuch Archive (www.eunuch.org) which was established in 1998. The moderators of this site attempt to maintain both medical and historical accuracy in its discussion forums, although there is certainly misinformation there as well. The Fiction Archive, which is part of the Eunuch Archive, is neither medically nor historically accurate and is filled with fantasy.”But what WPATH describes as “fantasy” could be more accurately described as castration fetish porn.
The content includes stories about violent rape, sadomasochism, and highly sexualized stories of young boys being castrated, or young boys castrating adult men in a fetishized fashion.
In one story, a 12 year old orphan boy in Italy is taken in by a man who propositions him for sexual “services” as he longs to be castrated. The man asks the child to sleep with him, and when the boy refuses, the man instead draws nude pictures of him.
The story goes on to describe the surgery to remove the boy’s testicles, followed by the child’s expressions of gratitude to the surgeon for mutilating him.
Another erotica story posted features a 15 year old boy systematically castrating adult men, who are referred to as “slaves” in shackles and chains. The adolescent character is described as “so young, and innocent,” “cute as hell,” and “not a full man yet.” The boy, with a “number of young helpers,” castrate and forcibly penetrate the “slaves” who struggle, scream, and resist.
There is an abundance of content related to the concept of forced castration posted to forums on the site. One of The Eunuch Archives’ regular participants shared a news article about the forced castrations performed by Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Insan, an Indian religious leader who was convicted of the rape of two female followers in 2017 and involvement in the murder of a journalist. That year, The BBC reported how Guru Singh’s “rock star image” enabled him to convince as many as 400 followers to undergo castrations.Commenters on The Eunuch Archives occasionally request erotica stories. In a thread on the archive’s corresponding forum titled “Stories including animals,” members of the forum discuss their furry fetish and pitch ideas for erotica that revolves around bestiality and animals castrating men.
Disturbingly, an administrator of The Eunuch Archives has been heavily involved in drafting WPATH’s new SoC for several years and has supported the view that the term “gender identity” should be expanded to “gender incongruence” to include those who participate in body modification.
Multiple posts he has made under the pseudonym “Jesus” suggest he has had close contact and perhaps even influence over the editing of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), and even this most recent WPATH Standards of Care document. “Jesus” claims to have been contacted by Eli Coleman, the former president of WPATH, to devise the guidelines set out in the updated SoC.
The President of WPATH is a trans-identified male named Marci Bowers, a surgeon and gynecologist who pioneered the penile inversion technique that is often referred to as “gender affirmation surgery.” Bowers has conducted two genital surgeries on reality TV star Jazz Jennings. Jennings was socially transitioned beginning at the age of 5 and at 11 was placed on drugs to suppress puberty and hinder penile development. In a 2020 episode of I Am Jazz, while taking a photo of Jennings’ genitals, Bowers joked, “You could be a porn star for all the photos I’ve taken.”
Over seven hundred individuals responded to a survey shared on The Eunuch Archive, describing their reasons for their “ambition toward eunuchdom.”
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. The second most common origin of interest (27%) reported a desire to reduce an overactive libido. Several respondents wrote about becoming sexually aroused when witnessing animal castration.
“For some, castration was a very important first step toward an MtF transition,” the study’s authors noted.
“Some claim to have been properly diagnosed with a GID by professionals, but others were self-diagnosed. 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.'”
