Un hombre que se dice trans competirá en un campeonato nacional de waterpolo femenino este fin de semana, poco después de proclamarse campeón de ajedrez femenino en Michigan. Alicia, anteriormente Johnny, Paans, es una de las estrellas del equipo del club de waterpolo femenino de la Universidad de Michigan.
Se espera que Paans, de 31 años, participe en el Campeonato Nacional Universitario de Waterpolo (CWPA) de 2024, que se celebrará del 3 al 5 de mayo en la Universidad A&M de Texas. En la competición participarán 16 equipos con sede en Estados Unidos que compiten por el título nacional femenino en su deporte. El primer partido de Paans será contra la Universidad Estatal de Texas el 3 de mayo a las 9:00 GMT.
Paans también compitió en el equipo de la Universidad de Michigan en 2023, con el que ganó el título nacional femenino contra la Universidad de California-Santa Bárbara. En esa misma competición, Paans anotó goles en el partido que perdieron por 17 a 5 contra la Universidad de Virginia, y en el que perdieron por 17 a 6 contra la Universidad de Washington.
Aunque no está claro cuándo Paans comenzó a identificarse como “mujer”, en una publicación de Facebook de 2013 revela que sus amigos seguían refiriéndose a él por su nombre de nacimiento cuando lo felicitaron por haber empezado la educación secundaria en su país de origen, los Países Bajos. Paans parece haber emigrado de Europa a California en 2017 cuando comenzó una pasantía para Volo San Diego, un club deportivo social, y se ha quedado en el país para estudiar desde entonces. En 2023, comenzó una carrera de trabajo social en la Universidad de Michigan.
Según el Consejo Independiente de Deportes Femeninos (ICONS), los padres de las contrincantes de Paans han confirmado que utiliza los vestuarios e instalaciones femeninas cuando compite.
En declaraciones a Reduxx, Jennifer, la madre de una waterpolista que participó en el campeonato nacional de 2023 con Paans, explicó que le había parecido “obvio” que Paans era un hombre desde el momento en que lo vio. El nombre completo de Jennifer no se ha revelado para proteger a su hija.
“Mi marido y yo lo vimos primero, de pie junto a la piscina antes del primer partido [de la Universidad de Michigan]. Nos miramos sorprendidos e inmediatamente supimos que era un hombre”, dice, y agrega: “Observé a Alicia bastante durante el torneo, en parte por preocupación por las mujeres, y también preguntándome cómo se comportaban sus compañeras de equipo a su alrededor”.
Jennifer dice que le había angustiado la idea de que su hija pudiera verse obligada a participar contra un hombre, y se sintió “aliviada” cuando el enfrentamiento no llegó a producirse.
“A ninguna de estas mujeres se les dijo en un principio que se le había permitido jugar a un hombre”, señaló Jennifer. “Muchas de las jugadoras del equipo de mi hija estaban casi en estado de shock por la situación, y hablaron entre ellas sobre su incomodidad al respecto. Pero que yo sepa, nadie habló con los organizadores del torneo. Pensaron que no se haría nada dado que estaba permitido según la política [de la CWPA]”.
En enero de 2024, la CWPA publicó una política sobre atletas transgénero que permitía explícitamente a los hombres competir en categorías femeninas. La política dice: “Los atletas transgénero que se identifican como mujeres pueden competir tanto en la Liga Mixta como en la Liga Femenina”.
Los hombres identificados como trans también deben proporcionar una “carta de confirmación” con respecto a su identidad de género, ya sea del atleta mismo o, si es menor de edad, de un progenitor o tutor; una prueba de niveles de testosterona por debajo de 10 nmol/L en los 60 días anteriores a la competición; y una nota del médico que demuestre que el deportista está comenzando una “transición física de género/supresión de testosterona”. La asociación pretende garantizar “la equidad, el respeto y la igualdad de oportunidades para todos”.
ICONS ha criticado esa política, y la define como una “vía para que los hombres” entren en el waterpolo femenino.

En una declaración oficial, ICONS criticó la CWPA, y destacó los riesgos de seguridad asociados con permitir que los hombres se autoidentifiquen del sexo opuesto para acceder a los deportes de contacto.
“La Asociación Universitaria de Waterpolo ha dejado claro en su política que no da prioridad a una competición segura o justa para las mujeres en el waterpolo”, dijo la cofundadora de ICONS, Marshi Smith. “El anuncio de su política discriminatoria se produjo después de haber coronado al equipo de la Universidad de Michigan con un título nacional, a pesar de haber usado un jugador masculino, un arma secreta a la que no tenían acceso otros equipos femeninos del torneo”.
Smith continúa diciendo que, a pesar de que el waterpolo es un deporte de alto contacto, las atletas femeninas fueron arrojadas al agua sin que se les avisara de los riesgos adicionales de competir contra un hombre.
“Los campeonatos nacionales de este año se perfilan como un trágico déjà vu de dominación para las oponentes femeninas que simplemente buscan una oportunidad justa de triunfar. “

The long-awaited trial of a Canadian man accused of murder is facing setbacks after he filed to change his name in the indictment due to his transgender status. Gabriella Sears, born Dereck Donald Sears, has been in prison since 2021 for brutally murdering and dismembering a man in Kelowna, British Columbia.
As previously reported by Reduxx, Sears was arrested in 2021 and charged with second-degree murder and interference with human remains in the death of 49-year-old Darren Middleton, who had employed Sears to do occasional work for him.
Middleton’s body was first discovered on June 16, 2021, by his partner at the time, Brenda Adams, who went looking for him at Sears’ home after he failed to return from work that evening. Middleton was found in Sears’ bathroom partially clothed next to a bathtub with the water running.
Although Middleton reportedly died after receiving a blow to the head, the Crown prosecutors revealed he received several other disturbing injuries post-mortem, including the partial removal of his penis and testicles, a gash to his throat that “was so deep Adams could see right inside,” and other stab wounds. Additionally, Adams noted that Middleton was wearing someone else’s clothing.
After seeing the dismembered corpse of her common-law partner, Adams fled the crime scene, screaming. As she ran from the house, she saw Sears dancing in the middle of the road “with his eyes closed and his arms in the air” to no music.
While Sears, who had a full beard at the time of the arrest, did tell Adams and Middleton he was a woman two days before committing his heinous crimes, he was identified by police as a man.
The trial was underway last fall but was put on pause after Sears terminated his attorneys, Jordan Watt and Tom Forss, 18 days in. Despite successfully having his confessions excluded as evidence during the trial, Sears accused them of “gaslighting [him] and colluding with the Crown.” Watt and Forss also argued that because Sears was allegedly sexually abused by Middleton, the routine strip search and swabbing conducted by police “was traumatic and insensitive.”
Several months later, he parted ways with another lawyer, Mark Swartz, who announced he was no longer representing Sears due to a “fundamental breakdown in the solicitor-client relationship.”
“Gabriella” Sears
Although, as Castanet reports, the trial is set to recommence in July, Sears’ application to have his name changed on the indictment, citing his “equality rights” outlined in Section 16 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, may cause further delays.
In response to Sears’ request, Crown prosecutor David Grabavac expressed during an appearance this week that he is “not unsympathetic” to Sears’ reasoning for wanting to change his name but doesn’t believe the timing was right to bring forth his application.
“This is a novel legal issue which may have far-reaching consequences … I’ve never seen Section 15 of the Charter used like this in a criminal matter,” explained Grabavac. “We haven’t had a chance to research this issue … we’re going to need a couple weeks to figure out what position, if any, we have on this.”
Continuing, Grabavac expressed that given the gravity of the situation and the brutality of the murder, getting the trial completed promptly needs to be a priority.
“The priority, with the greatest respect to everyone, should be getting the trial completed as soon as possible … I don’t know how much research is going to have to go into this and if we’re spending a day or two fighting over this in a few weeks, that’s taking away from trial prep.”
In addition to Sears having several issues committing to legal representation, Justice Ross, the former judge on the case, is stepping down per a constitutional amendment that requires all judges to retire at 75 years old. As a result of this change, Sears will have the authority to decide whether to continue with the proceedings that started last fall or start the trial over.
Although it is unclear how Sears plans to proceed, and his new attorney Frances Mahon, said that future deliberations are as of yet undecided, Sears will likely ask civilian witnesses to re-testify and will “consent to allowing forensic evidence and RCMP testimony to carry over from last fall.”
Sears is currently scheduled to make a court appearance in two weeks, which will clarify how the trial will proceed moving forward.

Famed Spanish writer Lucía Etxebarria is breathing a sigh of relief after a Las Palmas court ruled in her favor after she was sued by a “non-binary trans person” for misgendering him. The plaintiff, Marcos Ventura, launched the suit seeking 11,000 Euros for pain and suffering, but has now been ordered to pay Etxebarria’s legal costs.
As previously reported by Reduxx, Ventura is a transvestite who defines himself as a “non-binary trans person who uses feminine pronouns and grammatical gender to refer to himself.” He had launched a lawsuit against Etxebarria last year for an alleged crime against the “right to dignity, equal treatment and non-discrimination.” Ventura’s claims were based on a 2020 post on social media Etxebarria had written in which she identified him as a “man.”
According to The Objective, the judge ruled that the Etxebarria’s statements complied with “the necessary finding of a sufficient factual basis on which to express public opinion.” The judge also agreed that Ventura had sufficiently male aesthetics and physical attributes which would lead a reasonable person to correctly identify him as being male.
The judge dismissed the lawsuit and ordered Ventura to pay the costs of the proceedings.
Esta sentencia, aunque no es firme y cabe recurso, es un paso importante en la defensa y prevalencia de la libertad de expresión frente a quienes quieren imponer la censura fundamentada en cuestiones identitarias. En mi opinión, ES UNA SENTENCIA HISTÓRICA https://t.co/IvUkHyLRXH
Ventura, who refused the initial possibility of a settlement agreement, had requested 11,000 Euros in damages for having been “subjected to public harassment and scorn, multiple insults and numerous offensive comments derived from the public exposure and the target that the defendant put” on him, by “exposing [him] to her hundreds of thousands of followers.”
But the judge refuted Ventura’s claims, asserting that there was no possibility a crime had been committed and disagreeing that Ventura had suffered any damages. Ventura will be allowed to appeal the decision.
Etxebarria’s lawyer, Guadalupe Sanchez, praised the ruling, noting that “this sentence, although not final and subject to appeal, is an important step in the defense and prevalence of freedom of expression against those who want to impose censorship based on identity issues.”
Lucía Etxebarria
In a statement from Etxebarria given to The Objective, the writer thanked the supporters who stood by her through the taxing trial.
“But above all I want to make one thing clear: this ruling is particularly significant because it creates a precedent. And I believe this because, if I had not won, a different sentence could have been used to impose ideological criteria and to carry out personal vendettas, at least this is my personal opinion,” she wrote.
As an example, Etxebarria referenced the recent bizarre case of a trans-identified male convicted of a hate crime against another trans-identified male for refusing to affirm his gender identity.
As previously reported by Reduxx, the Barcelona High Court sentenced a male who claims to be transgender to six months in prison after he was found guilty of committing a crime “against fundamental human rights and public freedoms” for posting “transphobic” comments on social networks.
Referring to the case, Etxebarria explains that “the transsexual woman was sentenced to pay 720 euros and to undergo a ‘re-education course’ – in a Stalinist or Maoist fashion – to ‘cure [his] transphobia.’ And to six months in jail (which [he] will not serve because [he] accepted the re-education course). The judges charged [him] with a crime against moral integrity, according to article 173 of the Penal Code.”
Etxebarria concludes by noting that “ideological laws” are intended to fulfill two purposes. “One, to destroy the core beliefs of the population in order to more easily subdue them. And two, to gaslight people.”

A trans-identified male is set to compete in a national women’s water polo championship this weekend, shortly after becoming a women’s chess champion in Michigan. Alicia, formerly Johnny, Paans, is a star member of the University of Michigan’s Women’s Water Polo club team.
Paans, 31, is expected to appear at the 2024 National Collegiate Water Polo Championships (CWPA), which will be held from May 3 to 5 at Texas A&M University. The competition includes 16 US-based teams vying for the women’s national title in their sport. Paans’ first game will be against Texas State University on May 3 at 9:00 GMT.
Paans also competed on the University of Michigan team in 2023, during which time they won the national women’s title against the University of California-Santa Barbara. In the same competition, Paans was noted to have scored goals in a 17 to 5 defeat against the University of Virginia, and in a 17 to 6 defeat against the University of Washington.
While it is unclear when Paans began to identify as a “woman,” a 2013 Facebook post reveals that friends still referred to him by his birth name while congratulating him for beginning his secondary education in his home nation of the Netherlands. Paans appears to have immigrated from Europe to California in 2017 when he began an internship for Volo San Diego — a social sports club — and has remained in the country for education ever since. In 2023, he began a social work degree at the University of Michigan.
According to the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS), the parents of Paans’ opponents have confirmed that he uses the female locker rooms and facilities when he competes.
Speaking to Reduxx, Jennifer, the mother of a female water polo athlete who participated in the 2023 national championship with Paans, explained it had been “obvious” that Paans was male from the moment she had seen him. Jennifer’s full name is being withheld for the protection of her daughter.
“My husband and I saw him first, standing aside the pool before [University of Michigan’s] first game. We looked at each other in surprise, and immediately knew it was a man,” she says, adding: “I observed Alicia quite a bit over the tournament, partly out of concern for the women, and also wondering how his teammates acted around him.”
Jennifer says she had been distressed by the thought that her daughter might have been forced to participate against a male, and was “relieved” when the match-up did not come to fruition.
“None of these women were initially aware a man had been allowed to play,” Jennifer noted. “Many of the player’s on my daughter’s team were almost in shock at the situation, and spoke to one another about discomfort with it. But to my knowledge, no one spoke to the organizers of the tournament. They felt that nothing would be done given that it was allowed based on [CWPA] policy.”
In January of 2024, the CWPA released a transgender athlete policy which explicitly allowed males to compete in women’s categories. The policy reads: “Transgender athletes who identify as female are eligible to compete in both the Co-ed League and the Women’s League.”
Trans identified males are also required to provide a “letter of confirmation” regarding their gender identity, either from the athlete or, if underage, a parent or guardian; proof of testosterone levels below 10 nmol/L within 60 days of competition; and a physician’s note to prove that the athlete is starting “physical gender transitioning/testosterone suppression.” The association purports to ensure “fairness, respect, and equal opportunities for all.”
The policy has been slammed by ICONS as a “pathway for men” to enter women’s water polo.

In an official statement, ICONS condemned the CWPA, highlighting the safety risks associated with allowing males to self-identify into contact sports.
“The Collegiate Water Polo Association has made it clear in their policy that they do not prioritize safe or fair competition for women in water polo,” said ICONS co-founder Marshi Smith. “Their discriminatory policy announcement came after they had crowned the University of Michigan team with a national title, despite utilizing a male player – a secret weapon not accessible to other women’s teams in the tournament.”
Smith continues that despite water polo being a high-contact sport, female athletes were thrown into the water with no disclosure of the added risks of competing against a male.
“This year’s national championships are shaping up to be a tragic deja vu of domination for the female opponents who simply seek a fair chance to succeed.”

Un travesti, que cumple tres cadenas perpetuas por delitos contra mujeres, ha presentado una demanda por discriminación para intentar que lo trasladen a la población general entre reclusas de sexo femenino. Thomas Preston Lamb, también conocido como Michelle Renee Lamb, se encuentra actualmente detenido en una cárcel de mujeres en Topeka, Kansas, pero separado de las reclusas, lo que Lamb considera inaceptable.
Lamb, de 82 años, alega que el Centro Penitenciario de Topeka y el Departamento Penitenciario de Kansas lo están discriminando por estar recluido en una parte separada, en lugar de poder relacionarse con frecuencia con las mujeres encarceladas.
Lamb presentó una demanda contra la gobernadora Laura Kelly, el Centro Penitenciario de Topeka y el Departamento Penitenciario de Kansas el pasado noviembre, y se espera que se dicte sentencia a principios de mayo.
Las autoridades del Centro Penitenciario de Topeka (TCF) tomaron la decisión de separar a Lamb de la población carcelaria femenina debido tanto a su historial como delincuente sexual como a su conducta durante su estancia en prisión. Lamb, que fue trasladado calladamente a la cárcel de mujeres (artículo en español) en enero de 2023, ha ignorado repetidamente las órdenes de no contacto y ha estado acosando sexualmente a las funcionarias de prisiones. En al menos una ocasión, fue acusado de conducta lasciva hacia una reclusa.

Thomas Lamb secuestró y violó a una mujer y asesinó a otra por referirse a él como "hombre" y luego culpó a su alter ego femenino del crimen.https://t.co/en9xQkkb2Z
Según un informe del Departamento Penitenciario de Kansas (KDOC), el director del Centro Penitenciario de Topeka tenía la intención de alojar al asesino convicto entre la población general de reclusas, pero se empezó a preocupar cuando se negó a responder preguntas sobre sus delitos durante una evaluación de admisión utilizada para determinar el estado psicológica de los presos.
Los funcionarios de la prisión dijeron que la negativa de Lamb a responder preguntas sobre su pasado era “preocupante” porque sus “delitos más graves son acciones violentas específicamente contra mujeres, y porque ésta sería la primera vez en 50 años que el demandante conviviría con mujeres… La negativa del demandante a responder fue una señal de alarma”.
El informe también explicaba que la clasificación de Lamb de riesgo para la seguridad, que lo cataloga de amenaza potencial para las mujeres detenidas en TCF, se debía a la naturaleza de sus delitos y al riesgo potencial para las reclusas. A Lamb se le asignó entonces un alojamiento restrictivo con el objetivo de integrarlo finalmente en la población general femenina.
Sin embargo, su estatus de riesgo para la seguridad sigue vigente porque su conducta ha sido “depredadora hacia una residente y manipuladora hacia el personal de seguridad”, una acusación que Lamb ha rebatido en una queja de la Ley de Eliminación de Violaciones en Prisión (PREA).
Lamb tiene un informe disciplinario por infringir una regla contra la conducta lasciva al darle a una reclusa “un abrazo que continuó con otro apretón, que parece ser un ‘doble abrazo'”.
Además, Lamb había preguntado repetidamente a una funcionaria de prisiones si sus genitales [de él] “se veían bien y naturales” como resultado de la cirugía a la que se sometió, y le hizo preguntas a otra funcionaria diferente sobre su propia anatomía y hábitos sexuales. Los continuos comentarios sexuales llevaron a que la supervisora, la mayor Dona Hook, ordenara que Lamb fuera siempre escoltado por dos funcionarias de prisiones.
En una queja manuscrita de septiembre de 2023, Lamb argumentaba que su designación como riesgo para la seguridad, establecida solo dos meses después de su traslado a la prisión de mujeres en enero del año pasado, constituía un “delito de odio” contra él.
“Esta es una queja contra todos los involucrados en ponerme en estado OSR [riesgo de seguridad de otro tipo] y HR [restricción de alojamiento], y en mantenerme en ese estatus durante lo que ahora son ya seis meses”, escribió Lamb. “Solicito que se me coloque en el estatus de población general de inmediato, y que se elimine de mi expediente toda la información utilizada para colocarme en este estatus OSR”.
En una carta de queja separada presentada el mismo mes, Lamb afirmaba que las restricciones que se le habían impuesto eran tan “severas” que había estado sufriendo de ansiedad, había desarrollado erupciones cutáneas, se le había subido la tensión y corría el riesgo de morir de un ataque al corazón o de un derrame cerebral. También declaró que había comenzado a sufrir diarrea crónica como resultado de su falta de acceso a la población general femenina.
“He tenido numerosos ataques de diarrea debido a mis altos niveles de depresión, ansiedad y estrés causados por este ambiente tóxico y restrictivo”, escribió Lamb. “Me tratan como si fuera el enemigo público número uno aquí en TCF, estoy bajo escoltado de dos funcionarias todo el tiempo. Estoy triste y me despierto llorando por la noche. Se me niega la necesidad más básica, especialmente para nosotras las mujeres: la necesidad de tener contacto cercano y relaciones con otras mujeres”.
Las actas judiciales indican que Lamb había entablado una relación con una mujer problemática de 30 años con un historial de comportamiento disruptivo. Esta situación había provocado que Lamb “incumpliera repetidamente las normas y órdenes restrictivas de no contacto en el centro”.
Los funcionarios de la prisión también señalaron que a Lamb ya se le habían permitido múltiples excepciones a las reglas del centro, como el permiso para comprar maquillaje y pendientes. Desde que declaró “una identidad femenina” en 2006, el Departamento Penitenciario de Kansas (KDOC) ha proporcionado a Lamb “ropa interior femenina” en la cárcel, que es descrita como “terapéutica para la disforia de género de Lamb”. También se le han suministrado estrógenos y medicamentos bloqueadores de testosterona.
En respuesta a las quejas, el alcaide David McCabe señaló que a Lamb se le ofrecía tiempo fuera de su celda, tiempo al aire libre, interacciones grupales y “pleno acceso a profesionales médicos y de salud mental”, e instó a Lamb a “participar en interacciones y actividades positivas” con el fin de trabajar para que se le retirara su estatus de riesgo.
Thomas Preston ‘Michelle Renee’ Lamb, Departamento Penitenciario de Kansas
Antes de su demanda de noviembre, Lamb había estado amenazando a las funcionarias de la prisión en un intento de aumentar su acceso a la población reclusa femenina.
En julio de 2023, Lamb envió tres cartas a la coordinadora de reinserción de TCF, Angela Golightley, y a la supervisora del equipo de su unidad, Linda Hull-Viera, que había presentado el informe disciplinario contra él. En las cartas, Lamb se quejaba de que su salud se veía seriamente afectada por sus restricciones y ofrecía un acuerdo extrajudicial a sus demandas.
Si la dirección no accedía a sus deseos, Lamb amenazaba con “enviar a la ACLU una copia de mi demanda”. La Unión Americana de Libertades Civiles (ACLU) ha estado detrás de múltiples demandas por todo Estados Unidos que han tenido como consecuencia el traslado de violadores y delincuentes varones a prisiones de mujeres.
Las cartas manifestaban que si Golightley eliminaba el estatus de Lamb de riesgo para la seguridad, borraba el historial de su expediente, lo apoyaba para que saliera en libertad condicional en el plazo de un año y lo transfería a la población general, “todo desaparecería”.
Lamb, en un tono siniestro, animaba a Golightley a reunirse personalmente con él: “Ven a verme para que podamos llegar a un acuerdo, y todo esto puede terminar ya. Depende de ti”. Además, amenazaba con pasar información sobre su demanda a un periodista, Blaise Mesa, de Kansas City Beacon, “para que pueda hacer el reportaje que quiera… No te hará quedar bien. Tengo su palabra”.
La directora legal de la ACLU de Kansas, Sharon Brett, es la que representa a Lamb en su demanda. En los últimos meses, su biografía en el sitio web de ACLU Kansas se ha hecho privada. Para acceder a ella, se necesita un nombre de usuario y una contraseña.
Lamb, descrito como “mujer” en el Sistema de Información de Justicia Penal del estado y llamado “mujer transgénero” en las actas judiciales, fue condenado por secuestrar y asesinar a Karen Sue Kemmerly, una estudiante de 24 años de la Universidad de Kansas-Missouri, alrededor del 5 de diciembre de 1969.
Lamb asesinó a Kemmerly después de que ella comentara que era un “hombre guapo” y le dijera que era “muy competente sexualmente”, lo que le produjo una furia violenta ya que se veía a sí mismo como una mujer. Lamb estranguló a la joven y dejó su cadáver desnudo en un campo de maíz. El cuerpo de la joven estudiante fue encontrado unos días después de su muerte, el 7 de diciembre.
Además de Kemmerly, Lamb también fue condenado por el secuestro de Patricia Ann Childs, de 18 años, el 15 de enero de 1970. Childs fue devuelta a su familia después de que su padre pagara el rescate de 3.500 dólares exigido por Lamb. Durante la terrible experiencia, Lamb ató las manos de Childs y la violó, según las actas judiciales, aunque nunca fue acusado formalmente por la agresión sexual.
Lamb fue finalmente condenado por dos cargos de secuestro y un cargo de asesinato en primer grado, y ahora cumple tres cadenas perpetuas consecutivas. Durante su estancia en la cárcel, Thomas Preston Lamb comenzó a llamarse Michelle Renee Lamb y, en julio de 2006, solicitó un cambio de nombre legal.
Sin embargo, a pesar de afirmar ser mujer y someterse a cirugía genital y tomar suplementos hormonales, el historial de violencia de Lamb contra las mujeres indica un patrón inquietante de patología sexual sádica.
El 25 de febrero de 1970, se le ordenó que se sometiera a una evaluación psiquiátrica. Lamb, que renunció a su derecho a un juicio con jurado, fue entrevistado por el Dr. Joseph Satten, un psiquiatra especializado en criminología de la Fundación Menninger de Topeka, quien filmó la conversación. El video se mostró al tribunal como prueba para apoyar la declaración de demencia. Antes de reproducir la grabación para los espectadores, el juez Harold Riggs avisió del contenido “vulgar y obsceno”.
“En mi opinión, la razón del acusado estaba gravemente perturbada en el momento de cometer los crímenes y no tenía el conocimiento normal de la naturaleza y la categoría de los actos que supuestamente ha cometido”, testificó Satten. “Ahora, en cuanto al segundo elemento, en cuanto a saber si están mal [los actos], no estoy tan seguro”.
Lamb le dijo a Satten que “pensaba que era una chica” cuando cometió los crímenes contra las dos mujeres. En opinión de Satten, Lamb era “inteligente” y consciente de los delitos que cometió. Sin embargo, enfatizó “peculiaridades” en su personalidad.
“En algunos momentos, durante el transcurso de los secuestros, debió de tener cierta conciencia de que lo que estaba haciendo estaba mal. Pero durante los dos secuestros, se encontraba en un estado mental peculiar en el que se sentía una chica”, dijo Satten.
El médico continuó culpando a la “versión femenina” de Lamb de los crímenes, insinuando que su “versión masculina” no estaba mentalmente presente en el momento de los delitos.
“Tal vez ‘ella’ conocía la naturaleza y la categoría de los delitos, tal vez ‘ella’ sabía que lo que se estaba haciendo estaba mal, pero el Thomas Lamb normal, creo, probablemente no”, agregó Satten.
El médico continuó diciendo que Lamb tenía una “preocupación primordial de que todos sus problemas giraran en torno a la necesidad de someterse a una operación de reasignación de sexo”. En una declaración aparentemente contradictoria, Satten dijo que Lamb no tenía prejuicios contra las mujeres, sino que creía que “tenían todas las ventajas”.
Olathe News, 27 de mayo de 1970
El asesino convicto ha utilizado repetidamente el sistema legal a su favor. En una moción de 2017 presentada por Lamb contra KDOC, alegó que se estaban violando sus derechos de la Octava Enmienda contra el castigo cruel e inusual. Lamb había exigido “un tratamiento más integral de su disforia de género, acceso a más artículos femeninos en prisión, reconocimiento de su cambio de nombre y traslado a un centro penitenciario sólo para mujeres”.
La solicitud original de Lamb de 2017 de ser transferido a un centro penitenciario femenino fue denegada en un principio por el juez de distrito Eric Melgren. En la decisión, se afirmaba que “Lamb no tiene derecho a ser transferido a un centro para mujeres”.
Continuó, refiriéndose a Lamb con pronombres femeninos: “A Thomas se le ordenó cumplir tres cadenas perpetuas para que nunca más volviera a matar o hacer daño a otra mujer. Thomas ahora es Michelle, pero Michelle sigue siendo una secuestradora y asesina de mujeres convicta, y la justificación de su condena no ha cambiado”.

A trans-identified male inmate serving three life sentences for crimes against women has filed a discrimination lawsuit in an attempt to be transferred into the general population among female prisoners. Thomas Preston Lamb, also known as Michelle Renee Lamb, is currently detained in a women’s facility in Topeka, Kansas, but has been kept separate from the female inmates — an arrangement Lamb deems unacceptable.
Lamb, 82, alleges he is being discriminated against by the staff of Topeka Correctional Facility and the Kansas Department of Corrections on the grounds that he is being held in restricted housing instead of being allowed to frequently interact with incarcerated women.
Lamb first filed his legal claim against Governor Laura Kelly, Topeka Correctional Facility, and the Kansas Department of Corrections last November, and a ruling is expected to be reached by early May.
Authorities at Topeka Correctional Facility (TCF) made the decision to separate Lamb from the female prison population due to both his history as a sex offender and his conduct while in prison. Lamb, who was quietly transferred into the female prison estate in January of 2023, has repeatedly ignored no-contact orders and has been sexually harassing female correctional officers. On at least one occasion, he was charged with lewd conduct with a female inmate.

According to a report by the Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC), the warden at Topeka Correctional Facility had intended to house the convicted killer among the general population of female inmates, but became concerned after he refused to answer questions about his crimes during an intake evaluation used to assess a prisoner’s psychological condition.
Prison officials said Lamb’s refusal to answer questions about his past was “worrying” because his “most serious crimes are violent actions specifically against women, and because this would be the first time in 50 years that Plaintiff would be co-habitating with women … Plaintiff’s refusal to answer was a red flag.”
The report also explained that Lamb’s security risk classification, which labels him a potential threat to the women held at TCF, was due to the nature of his crimes and the potential risk to other inmates. Lamb was then placed in restrictive housing with the aim of eventually integrating him into the general female population.
However, Lamb’s security risk status remains in place because his conduct has been “predatory towards another resident and manipulative towards security staff,” an allegation that Lamb has disputed in a Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) complaint.
Lamb has had a disciplinary report for violating a rule against lewd activity by giving a female inmate “a hug that continue[d] through another squeeze — appearing to be a ‘double hug.'”
Lamb additionally had repeatedly asked a corrections officer if his genitals “looked good and natural” as a result of the surgery he had, and posed questions to a different officer about her own anatomy and sexual habits. The ongoing sexual remarks led to an order from supervisor Major Dona Hook that Lamb must always be escorted by two female prison officers.
In a hand-written complaint dated September 2023, Lamb argued that his designation as a security risk, established just two months after he was transferred into the women’s prison in January of last year, constituted a “hate crime” against him.
“This is a grievance against everyone involved in placing me on OSR [other security risk] and HR [housing restriction] status, and keeping me on this status for what is now six months,” Lamb wrote. “I request I be placed on general population status immediately, and all information used to place me on this OSR status be removed from my file.”
In a separate grievance letter filed the same month, Lamb claimed that the restrictions placed on him were so “severe” that he had been suffering from anxiety, had developed rashes and elevated blood pressure, and was at risk of death by heart attack or stroke. He also stated he had begun experiencing chronic diarrhea as a result of his lack of access to the women’s general population.
“I have had numerous bouts of diarrhea due to my high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress caused by this toxic and restrictive environment,” Lamb wrote. “I’m being treated as if I’m public enemy number one here at TCF, being escorted by two officers all the time. I feel miserable and wake up crying at night. I’m denied the most basic need, especially for us females: the need to have close contact and relationships with other females.”
Court records indicate that Lamb had developed a relationship with a troubled 30-year old woman with a history of disruptive behavior. This situation had caused Lamb to “repeatedly break restrictive housing no-contact rules and orders.”
Prison officials also noted that Lamb had already been allowed multiple exceptions to housing rules, including permission to buy makeup and earrings. Since claiming a female identity in 2006, Lamb has been provided with “female undergarments” by the Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC) while incarcerated, with the intimate clothing described as “therapeutic for Lamb’s gender dysphoria.” He has also been provided with estrogen and testosterone-blocking drugs.
In response to Lamb’s grievances, warden David McCabe noted that Lamb was being offered time out of his cell, time outdoors, group interactions, and “full access to medical and mental health practitioners,” and urged Lamb to “engage in positive interactions and activities” in order to work towards having his risk status removed.

Leading up to his November lawsuit, Lamb had been threatening prison officials in an attempt to increase his access to the female prison population.
In July of 2023, Lamb sent three letters to TCF Reentry Coordinator Angela Golightley, and the supervisor for his Unit Team Manager Linda Hull-Viera, who had filed the disciplinary report against him. In the letters, Lamb complained that his health was seriously impaired by his restrictions and offered an out-of-court settlement to his demands.
If the administrators did not comply with his wishes, Lamb threatened to “send the ACLU a copy of my lawsuit.” The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has been behind multiple lawsuits across the United States which have resulted in male rapists and criminals being transferred into women’s prisons.
The letters expressed that if Golightley removed Lamb’s security risk status, expunged the history from his record, supported him for a parole release within the year, and transferred him into the general population, “it will all go away.”
Lamb, in a sinister tone, encouraged Golightley to personally meet with him: “Come see me so we can come to an agreement, and this can all stop now. It’s up to you.” He further threatened to pass information about his lawsuit on to a reporter, Blaise Mesa, for Kansas City Beacon, “so he can do the story he wants to do… It will not make you look good. I have his word.”
In his lawsuit, Lamb has claimed to be represented by Legal Director at the ACLU of Kansas, Sharon Brett, though no evidence to support this claim exists. In recent months, her listed biography on the ACLU Kansas website was made hidden behind a login and password prompt.
Lamb, who is described as “female” in the state Criminal Justice Information System and referred to as a “transgender female” in court records, was convicted of kidnapping and murdering Karen Sue Kemmerly, a 24 year-old student at the University of Kansas-Missouri, around December 5, 1969.
Lamb murdered Kemmerly after she commented he was a “handsome man,” and told him he was “very capable sexually,” which sent him into a violent rage as he saw himself as a woman. Lamb strangled the woman to death, and left her nude corpse in a cornfield. The young student’s body was found approximately five days after her death on December 7.
In addition to Kemmerly, Lamb was also convicted on charges of kidnapping 18-year-old Patricia Ann Childs on January 15, 1970. Childs was returned to her family after her father paid out a $3,500 ransom demanded by Lamb. During the ordeal, Lamb bound Childs’ hands and raped her, according to court documents, though he was never formally charged for the sexual assault.
The Wichita Eagle, 19 May 1970
Lamb was ultimately convicted of two counts of kidnapping and one count of first degree murder, and is now serving three consecutive life sentences in prison. While in prison, Thomas Preston Lamb began going by Michelle Renee Lamb, and in July 2006, filed for a legal name change.
Yet despite claiming to be a woman and undergoing genital surgery and hormone supplements, Lamb’s record of violence against women indicates a disturbing pattern of sadistic sexual pathology.
On February 25, 1970, Lamb was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Lamb, who waived his right to a jury trial, was interviewed by Dr. Joseph Satten, a psychiatrist specializing in criminology at the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, who filmed the exchange. The video was shown in court as evidence to support an insanity plea. Before playing the recording for the spectators, Judge Harold Riggs warned of “vulgar and obscene” content.
“In my opinion, the defendant’s thinking was severely disturbed at the time of the crimes and he did not have the normal knowledge of the nature and quality of his acts alleged to have been committed,” Satten testified. “Now, as to the second element, as to knowing whether they’re wrong, I’m a little more uncertain.”
Lamb told Satten that he “thought he was a girl” when he carried out the crimes against the two women. It was Satten’s view that Lamb was “intelligent” and aware of the crimes he committed. However, he emphasized “peculiarities” in his personality.
“At times, during the course of the kidnappings, there must have been some awareness that what he was doing was wrong. But during both of the kidnappings, he was in a peculiar state of mind in which he felt himself to be a girl,” Satten said.
The doctor went on to blame the “female version” of Lamb for the crimes, insinuating that the “male version” of Lamb was not mentally present during the time of the offenses.
“Maybe ‘she’ knew the nature and quality of it, maybe ‘she’ knew what was being done was wrong, but the normal Thomas Lamb, I believe, probably did not,” Satten added.
The doctor continued that Lamb had an “overriding preoccupation that all of his problems revolved around the need to have a sex reassignment operation.” In a seemingly contradictory statement, Satten said that Lamb did not hold prejudices against women, but believed “they have all the advantages.”
Olathe News, 27 May 1970
The convicted killer has repeatedly used the legal system to his advantage. In a 2017 motion filed by Lamb against the KDOC, he alleged that his Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment were being violated. Lamb had demanded “more comprehensive treatment of [his] gender dysphoria, access to more female items in prison, recognition of [his] name change, and transfer to a female-only prison facility.”
Lamb’s original 2017 request to be transferred to a women’s correctional facility was initially denied by District Judge Eric Melgren. In the decision, it was stated that “Lamb is not entitled to transfer to a female facility.”
He continued, referring to Lamb with feminine pronouns: “Thomas was ordered to serve three life sentences so that he would never kill or hurt another woman again. Thomas is now Michelle, but Michelle is still a convicted kidnapper and murderer of women, and the justification for her sentence has not changed.”

Una mujer con discapacidades de Pensilvania cuenta que Planned Parenthood Keystone la expulsó del tratamiento médico que estaba recibiendo, por lo que alegan ser opiniones “anti-trans y transfóbicas“. La mujer, que usa el seudónimo de Jane Lane, llevaba más de una década recibiendo atención médica en esa clínica de Pensilvania.
Lane compartió una carta que dice haber recibido de Trish Tashjian, directora de operaciones de Planned Parenthood Keystone, el 11 de abril.
“Para garantizar el más alto nivel de atención al paciente, quiero informarle que Planned Parenthood Keystone ya no estará disponible para servirle como su proveedor de atención médica, a partir del 4/11/2024”, escribió Tashjian.
“El cese de los servicios se debe a repetidas conversaciones y símbolos ofensivos que van en contra de nuestro compromiso de crear un entorno inclusivo y compasivo tanto para el personal como para los pacientes. Se han recibido numerosas quejas de miembros del personal, y se nos ha informado de una queja reciente de un paciente con respecto a sus opiniones y símbolos anti-trans y transfóbicos. A continuación encontrará recomendaciones para elegir un nuevo proveedor de atención sanitaria. Estaremos disponibles para atenderla en caso de emergencias médicas hasta el 5/10/2024. Transferiremos su historial médico a su nuevo proveedor de atención sanitaria una vez que recibamos una autorización firmada para hacerlo”.
La carta fue compartida en X por @TTExulansic, y también incluía fotos de las camisetas que Lane había usado ocasionalmente en sus citas. Entre ellas, había algunas con los mensajes “Make Women Female Again”, “Woman: Adult Human Female”, y “100% Natural Woman, Female Original.”
Pero Lane dice haber visto a un miembro del personal de Planned Parenthood con el pelo amarillo y morado usar camisetas y joyas igualmente politizadas, incluyendo un pin con la frase “aplasta el binarismo de género” y pendientes con el neopronombre “elle” (“they/them”).

Lane ha revelado que Planned Parenthood Keystone le canceló su siguiente cita médica y le prohibió reservar más citas por Internet. También alegó que no recibió ninguna advertencia, que no se hizo ningún intento de adaptarse a sus creencias antes de que la echaran y que no se le proporcionaron ni se le explicaron los documentos oficiales de la política de Planned Parenthood.
Lane padece varios diagnósticos de salud, incluido el trastorno de estrés postraumático, y llevaba 10 años acudiendo a la clínica para ponerse inyecciones anticonceptivas.
Lane contó en un correo electrónico a Reduxx que mantuvo conversaciones sobre “hombres en prisiones de mujeres, deportes y vestuarios” cuando estaba en la clínica, pero agregó que no había tenido la intención de ofender a nadie. Dijo que incluso pidió disculpas al personal por compartir “información desagradable” después de hablar en una ocasión sobre las cirugías genitales realizadas a hombres y mujeres que se identifican como transgénero.
Negó ser transfóbica y agregó que sus preocupaciones sobre la ideología de género tenían que ver con la protección de las mujeres y la infancia.
“Estoy completamente aterrorizada por la presencia de hombres en los espacios de mujeres, la erosión de los derechos de las mujeres y el abuso de menores que se está haciendo en nombre de la ideología trans”, dijo Lane.
Lane está ahora buscando asesoramiento jurídico. Dijo que está agradecida de haber podido encontrar atención médica alternativa después de que la echaran como paciente de Planned Parenthood Keystone.
Según su sitio web, “La misión de Planned Parenthood Keystone es proporcionar y promover el acceso a los servicios esenciales de atención de salud reproductiva y educación sexual integral que la gente necesita para vivir una vida saludable y para construir comunidades fuertes”. No hay políticas sobre la inclusión o la conducta del paciente en la página web.

A disabled Pennsylvanian woman is speaking out after Planned Parenthood Keystone dismissed her from medical treatment over what they allege are “anti-trans and transphobic” views. The woman, who uses the pseudonym Jane Lane, had been receiving healthcare at the Pennsylvania clinic for over a decade.
Lane shared a letter she says she received from Trish Tashjian, the Chief Operating Officer of Planned Parenthood Keystone on April 11.
“To ensure the highest level of patient care, I want to inform you that Planned Parenthood Keystone will no longer be available to serve you as your healthcare provider, effective 4/11/2024,” Tashjian wrote.
“The dismissal from services is due to repeated offensive conversations and symbols that contradict our commitment to creating an inclusive and compassionate environment for both staff and patients. Numerous complaints from staff members have been received, and a recent complaint from a patient regarding your anti-trans and transphobic rhetoric and symbols has been brought to our attention. Resources below are recommendations for choosing a new healthcare provider. We will be available to see you in case of medical emergencies until 5/10/2024. We will transfer your medical records to your new healthcare provider upon receipt of a signed authorization to do so.”
The letter was initially shared on X by @TTExulansic, who also included photos of the shirts Lane had occasionally worn to her appointments. Among the shirts were those with slogans “Make Women Female Again”; “Woman: Adult Human Female”; and “100% Natural Woman, Female Original.”
But Lane says she witnessed a Planned Parenthood staff member with yellow and purple hair wearing similarly politicized t-shirts and jewelry, including a “smash the gender binary” pin and “they/them” pronoun earrings.

Lane has revealed that Planned Parenthood Keystone cancelled an upcoming medical appointment and barred her from booking further appointments online. She also alleged that she received zero warning, that no attempt was made to accommodate her beliefs prior to her termination, and that no official Planned Parenthood policy documents were provided or explained to her.
Lane suffers from several health diagnoses, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and had been accessing the clinic for birth control injections for the past decade.
In an email with Reduxx, Lane described how she had conversations about “men in women’s prisons, sports, and locker rooms” while she was at the clinic, but added that she hadn’t intended to offend anyone. She said that she even apologized to staff for sharing “gross information” after talking about genital surgeries performed on transgender identified men and women on a single occasion.
She denied being transphobic, adding that her concerns about gender ideology had to do with the safeguarding of women and children.
“I am absolutely terrified of men in women’s spaces, the erosion of women’s rights, and the abuse of children that is all being done under the name of trans,” said Lane.
Lane is now seeking legal advice. She said she is thankful to have been able to find alternate healthcare after being fired as a patient from Planned Parenthood Keystone.
According to their website, “The mission of Planned Parenthood Keystone is to provide and promote access to the essential reproductive health care services and comprehensive sexuality education people need to live healthy lives and build strong communities.” There are no policies about inclusion or patient conduct on the site.
Planned Parenthood Keystone has not responded to a request for comment at the time of publication.

Según los informes, una niña de 14 años que se identifica como “drag king” y está en proceso de “transición” a “niño” ha estado realizando espectáculos sexualmente sugerentes en clubes y bares LGBT de Vancouver, Canadá. La menor, que tiene una discapacidad y es autista, usa los neopronombres “elle/elles/ello” y está tomando testosterona con el permiso de su madre.
La menor, que es de sexo femenino pero se identifica como “niño”, usa el nombre artístico de “Nova Tropica” y ha actuado en al menos tres bares LGBT de Vancouver, todos ellos locales para adultos en los que se sirve alcohol. Entre los clubes en los que Nova ha bailado se encuentran The Fountainhead Pub, Steamworks brewpub y The Junction.
Según Gays Against Groomers, durante su actuación en The Foundationhead Pub, un bar gay en Davie Street, la niña bailó con tan solo cinta adhesiva cubriendo la parte delantera de sus pechos.
La niña en un video sin censura publicado en Instagram.
Nova tiene un canal de YouTube donde suele subir imágenes de sus actuaciones.
En agosto del 2023, compartió un video en el que salía bailando la canción “Bubblegum B*tch” (“Zorra de Chicle”) en el escenario de un bar y se la ve recogiendo billetes de dólar de los miembros del público. En otro video, se ve a Nova bailando sola al ritmo de la controvertida canción de Britney Spears “If U Seek Amy“, que suena a propósito como “F-U-C-K me” (“Fóllame”).
En algunos de los videos colgados en su cuenta de YouTube, se la ve bailando ante un público adulto vestida únicamente con un bañador recortado, atuendo con el que también ha posado para unas fotos compartidas en sus redes sociales, en donde aparece con “pleasers” transparentes de tacón de aguja, una forma de tacón alto de plataforma que se asocia más frecuentemente con el striptease, el pole dance y el comercio sexual.
Además de publicar imágenes de sus actuaciones en YouTube, Nova también tiene una página de Instagram en la que cuelga vídeos de sí misma bailando en el escenario mientras un público exclusivamente adulto la anima. En muchos de los videos, Nova lleva ropa reveladora y, durante una actuación, incluso abre las piernas para el público.
“La única forma en que podrían correlacionarse es a través de la forma en que veo mi género”, dijo Nova en el pie de foto de una publicación en la que se describía a sí misma como un “chico demonio” y decía que ella es “lo que Lucifer quiere que sea”.
En otra publicación, en la que luce el traje de baño recortado con el que ha actuado, Nova dijo que le “encanta” cómo la testosterona está comenzando a afectar su definición muscular.
La “transición” de Nova ha contado con el apoyo de su madre Chrysta. En su propia página de Instagram, Chrysta publicó posts sobre cómo llevaba luchando para conseguir hormonas para su hija desde que ésta tenía sólo 11 años.
En la publicación, Chrysta reconoce que Nova tiene problemas de salud mental, pero atribuye su condición a “haber nacido en el cuerpo equivocado”. También critica a los partidos políticos canadienses que intentan aprobar leyes que protejan a la infancia de la transición médica.
“No permitiré que ningún gobierno ASESINE a mi hijo”, dijo Chrysta en una publicación. “Obligar a un niño a vivir en un cuerpo que no es auténtico para su persona es ASESINATO”.
La publicación se hizo en referencia al Partido Popular de Canadá, que elaboró un plan de 7 puntos para proteger a las mujeres y a la infancia de los efectos nocivos de la ideología de género, como prohibir a los hombres el acceso a espacios y deportes de mujeres y prohibir las cirugías de mutilación genital y las hormonas de sexo cruzado para menores.
Chrysta no solo ha facilitado la “transición” de Nova, sino que también confiesa que vigila sus redes sociales, lo que significa que está al tanto de los videos y fotos inapropiados que su hija menor de edad publica en Internet.
En un post, abordó los rumores de que una Drag King adulta se había comportado de manera inapropiada en mensajes que mandó a su hija, alegando que las preocupaciones eran “acusaciones falsas”.
Pero su aviso no fue la única sugerencia de que Nova ha estado en contacto con artistas drag adultos.
En Instagram, Nova habló de haber asistido a un “campamento drag” juvenil de verano organizado por “Rose Butch” y “DeeDee LaCraze”.
DeeDee LaCraze también gestiona un canal de YouTube llamado “Drag4Kids” donde ha hecho múltiples videos vestido de drag cantando canciones infantiles. LaCraze organiza su campamento de drag para jóvenes junto a Rose Butch, una mujer que se dice trans y que se llama a sí misma una “cosa drag no binaria“.
El campamento de verano, celebrado en julio de 2023, acogía a menores a partir de los 7 años.
Puede que uno de los “drag kids” (“criaturas drag”) más conocidos sea Desmond Napoles, que se hace llamar “Desmond is Amazing” (“Desmond es increíble”). Este niño saltó a la fama en 2017 con tan sólo 11 años tras aparecer en RuPaul’s Drag Race. Poco después, salió en transmisiones de YouTube y Facebook junto a hombres adultos, e incluso fue filmado bromeando sobre esnifar ketamina.
El aumento de los “drag kids” trae consigo un mayor escrutinio de los depredadores sexuales involucrados en la escena drag. En 2022, el mentor de un “drag kid” y un ex asistente de profesor de primaria fueron acusados de pornografía infantil tras una investigación sobre material de explotación compartido en Internet.

A 14-year-old girl who identifies as a “drag king” and is being transitioned to a “boy” has reportedly been performing sexually suggestive shows at LGBT clubs and bars across Vancouver, Canada. The minor, who is disabled and autistic, goes by “he/him/they/it” pronouns and is taking testosterone under the permission of her mother.
The child, who was born female but identifies as a “boy,” uses the stage name “Nova Tropica” and has performed in at least three LGBT bars in Vancouver, all of which are adult venues that serve alcohol. Among the clubs Nova has danced at are The Fountainhead Pub, Steamworks brewpub, and The Junction.
According to Gays Against Groomers, during her performance at The Foundationhead Pub, a gay bar located on Davie Street, the child danced with only tape covering the front of her breasts.
The child as seen in an uncensored video posted to Instagram.
Nova maintains a YouTube channel where she often uploads footage of her performances.
In August of 2023, she shared a video of her dancing on stage in a bar to the song “Bubblegum B*tch” and is seen collecting dollar bills from audience members. In another video, Nova is seen dancing alone to the Britney Spears’ controversial song “If U Seek Amy,” which is intended to sound out the letters “F-U-C-K me.”
In some of the videos posted to her YouTube account, she is seen dancing to an adult crowd wearing only a cut-out bathing suit, an outfit she has also posed in for photos shared to her social media while wearing clear, stiletto “pleasers,” a form of platform high-heel most frequently associated with stripping, pole dancing, and the sex trade.
As well as posting footage of her performances to YouTube, Nova also maintains an Instagram page where she posts clips of herself dancing on stage while exclusively adult crowds cheer her on. In many of the videos, Nova is wearing revealing clothing and, during one performance, she even spreads her legs for the audience.
“The only way they could even correlate is through the way I view my gender,” Nova said in the caption of one post where she described herself as a “demon boy” and said she’s “everything Lucifer wants her to be.”
In another post, in which she wears a cut-out swimsuit she has performed in, Nova said she “loves” how testosterone is starting to affect her muscle definition.
Nova’s transition has been supported by her mother Chrysta. On her own Instagram page, Chrysta posted about how she had been struggling to access hormones for her daughter since she was just 11 years old.
In the post, Chrysta acknowledges that Nova is experiencing poor mental health, but attributes her condition to “being born in the wrong body.” She also condemns the Canadian political parties attempting to pass legislation which would protect children from medical transitioning.
“I will not allow any government to MURDER my child,” Chrysta said in one post. “Forcing a child to live in a body that is not authentic to their person is MURDER.”
The post was made in reference to the People’s Party of Canada, which developed a 7-point plan to protect women and children from the harmful effects of gender ideology, such as banning men from women’s spaces and sports and banning genital mutilation surgeries and cross-sex hormones for minors.
Not only has Chrysta facilitated Nova’s transition, but she also confesses to monitoring her social media, meaning she is aware of the inappropriate videos and photos being posted online of her minor daughter.
In one post, she addressed rumors that an adult Drag King had behaved inappropriately in messages with her young daughter, claiming the concerns were “false accusations.”
But her notice was not the only suggestion that Nova has been in contact with adult drag performers.
On Instagram, Nova spoke about attending a youth summer “drag camp” hosted by “Rose Butch” and “DeeDee LaCraze.”
DeeDee LaCraze also operates a YouTube channel called “Drag4Kids” where he has made multiple videos in full drag singing nursery rhymes. LaCraze hosts his youth drag camp along side Rose Butch, a trans identified female who calls herself a “non-binary drag thing.”
The summer camp, held in July 2023, was made available for children as young as 7.
Arguably one of the most well-known “drag kids” is Desmond Napoles, who goes by the name “Desmond is Amazing.” Desmond rose to fame at only 11 years old in 2017 after being featured on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Soon after, the child appeared in YouTube and Facebook streams alongside adult men, and was even filmed joking about snorting ketamine.
With the increase in “drag kids” has come further scrutiny of the sexual predators involved in the drag scene. In 2022, a “drag kid” mentor and a former elementary school teaching assistant faced child pornography charges following an investigation into exploitative material shared on the internet.
