A trans-identified male cyclist has won the Women’s Singlespeed national title at the 2023 USA Cycling Cyclocross National Championships, outraging women’s rights advocates. Kylie Small, formerly known as Kyle Small, had been competing in men’s races earlier this year.

Though Small has begun participating in women’s events, he was competing in the male division at USA Cycling competitions under his birth name as recently as April. Last season, Small came in 44th place in the CX Male Senior 18-22 division, and largely floundered while competing as a cyclist in men’s competitions.

But on December 8, Small competed as a “woman” at the USA Cyclocross National Championships in Louisville, Kentucky, taking gold in the Women’s Single Speed division with a time of 38 minutes and 19 seconds.

The fastest female in the race was Jennifer Malik, who was awarded second place. The results of the race led the International Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) to condemn USA Cycling for continuing to allow males to self-identify into the women’s category.

After the championship, Small was interviewed on his success in women’s cycling by Evie Edwards, a representative from ICONS.

Smalls made no mention of his sex, instead crediting his win to “pushing gaps” and “clean dismounts.” During the interview, Small stated that the idea to compete in the women’s single speed competition came from one of his coaches who persuaded him to join the competition.

This is not the first time a male has taken first place in a women’s cycling championship in recent months.

Just weeks ago, two trans-identified males dominated a women’s category at the Illinois State Cyclocross Championships, topping the podium in the Women’s Single Speed category and taking home medals set aside for female racers. Tessa Johnson and Evelyn Williamson placed first and second, respectively, in the competition, leaving space for only one biological woman – Kristin Chalmers – on the podium.

Johnson also seized the gold in both the Women’s Single Speed and Category 1/2 races at the Chicago CycloCross Cup in October, with the latter also coming with $150 in prize money.

In June, trans-identified male Austin Killips took first place in the women’s category of a North Carolina cycling tour known as The Belgian Waffle Ride, adding to his expansive list of victories against female cyclists. Killips also placed first in the 2022 Tour of the Gila, an internationally-recognized elite cycling competition. Notably, the 2022 Tour was the first in the competition’s history where the prize money for both the male and female categories was equal. But following Killips’ win, two biological males walked away with the prize pots.

But the issue of males dominating women’s cycling competitions is not isolated to the United States.

Emily Bridges and Lilly Chant, two trans-identified males, took the first and second place spots, respectively, at the ThunderCrit race at the Herne Hill Velodrome in London in June of 2022. Jo Smith was the only female to step onto the winner’s podium, and was seen standing at third place with her child in a photo that began to circulate on social media after the race had finished.

In March of this year, after British cycling announced their plans to ban males from female cycling competitions, Bridges responded in a statement posted on his social media, calling the move a “violent act” and claiming British Cycling was furthering trans “genocide.”

USA Cycling also recently announced an update to their policy regarding trans-identified male athletes competing in women’s competitions.

Announced in June, the update will come into effect on January 1 of 2024. In a statement, the sporting body said that “trans athletes” will be divided into two categories; category A and category B. Category A cyclists will be required to reduce their testosterone below 2.5 nmol/L for at least two years and provide medical evidence of this at least 3 months before a competition. Category B cyclists will only need to complete a gender self identification form to move from the male competitions to the female competitions. These standards only apply when competing domestically.

Commenting on the policy update, USA Cycling’s CEO said: “The revision of our Transgender Participation Policy was a complex process guided by several factors. Foremost was the direction of our Board of Directors, who asked us to prioritize the balance between fairness and inclusion.”

“Our work encompassed a study of the UCI’s most recent review of the latest scientific literature, an assessment of the U.S. legal environment and similar policies from other sports organizations, and outreach to our athletes, club and team managers, and event organizers. As U.S. law and scientific findings evolve, we will use this as an opportunity to do further review and revisions of this policy as needed.”

A trans-identified male recently selected to be a political candidate for the UK Green Party has prompted backlash after describing himself as a “proud lesbian” and accusing critics of “transphobia.” Melissa Poulton, previously known as Matthew Viner, has a disturbing history of sharing pornographic “sissification” content on social media.

On December 2, Poulton announced his candidacy for the Bromsgrove Constituency in a post he shared to X. Over the next two days, as word of his bid for office spread on social media, critics responded to his post with disbelief, accusing the Green Party of having lost credibility.

Reactions across X ranged from disbelief to anger, with some responses particularly critical of his claim to be a lesbian.

Following the significant backlash, Poulton locked his X account.

Some critics also pointed to Poulton’s 2019 run for the Wyre Forest Council Elections while representing the Conservative Party. During his campaign, he did not yet describe himself as transgender, wore a suit, and still used his birth name, Matthew Viner.

On December 9, Conservative Party MP Rachel Maclean was slammed by her political opponents after she shared a post from Reduxx co-founder Genevieve Gluck which referred to Poulton as a “man who wears a wig.” Maclean commented on the post, writing: “While the Greens don’t know what a woman is, my Worcestershire neighbours, the people of Bromsgrove certainly do.”

Poulton was given a platform on BBC to complain about Maclean, stating: “Without a shadow of a doubt it is a transphobic comment.”

While Maclean ultimately deleted her post, she stood firm on its contents after GB News alleged she had “apologized” to Poulton.

“In fact I did NOT apologize for my comments relating to the Green Party’s extreme policies on gender and self ID ideology and am happy to come on to your program to explain my position in more detail. As Deputy Chair for Women, I am clear that the law allows me to say what a woman is and the difference between a woman and a trans woman. Both deserve respect and freedom to live their lives but it is not transphobic to say they are not the same thing,” she wrote in a multi-part thread.

Reduxx has now discovered a Pinterest account believed to belong to Poulton. Within his Pinterest board, populated when he still “identified” as male, Poulton had saved images related to sissification pornography, a genre which involves men being transformed into young women or even into little girls.

Several images saved by Poulton under a collection titled “AMAB” were sourced from sissification and forced feminization pornography blogs hosted on Tumblr.

One animated gif shared by Poulton depicts what appears to be a young man in a blond wig and a pink high school chearleading uniform, sitting seductively on a bed covered with rose petals. The text written across the photo reads, “Is there any doubt left sissy? Go full time.”

In another image shared by Poulton, “instructions” were provided for men who identify as women to follow, including always smiling at males who make eye contact with them in an apparent show of submissiveness.

Another post shared by Poulton reads: “Femininity is more than appearance. It’s an air… composed of starched petticoats, a ribbon or two, and an indefinable plus. And how do you do it? It doesn’t matter. You’re a woman now, so make the most of it. Apply your makeup with a delicate hand. Let your clothes reflect your womanliness.”

Accounts followed by Poulton on Pinterest similarly share fetishistic content, including images of the BDSM practice of sissification in which men wear highly sexualized maid uniforms and perform degrading tasks. In other instances, a type of content known as sissy captions are shared. The images are of women posed in a pornographic fashion alongside text intended to encourage male viewers to begin taking estrogen.

This is not the first controversy involving trans-identified males in the UK Green Party.

Just months ago, Heather Herbert, a trans-identified male currently standing with the Green Party, came under fire on social media after uploading photos of himself using a bathroom intended for women with disabilities to “dilate” himself.

Herbert posted an image of himself lying on the floor the bathroom, which was at Gatwick airport, captioning it: “Found a disabled toilet… not the most fun I’ve had.” Dilation refers to a process in which trans-identified males insert a rod into their surgically-constructed genital hole, often referred to as a “neo-vagina.” Dilation is often done for the rest of a patient’s life following “gender affirming” genital surgery.

In 2019, the party was accused of not properly vetting Aimee Challenor prior to allowing him to run for the position of Deputy Leader. Challenor, who was the party’s “equality spokeswoman” was a top contender for the position until it was learned he had hired his pedophile father to serve as his election agent.

At the time, Challenor’s father was out on bail after being charged for the rape and torture of a 10-year-old girl. Challenor nevertheless hid his father’s past from the public before it was discovered in what the party would later call a “major safeguarding risk.” David Challenor was ultimately sentenced to 22 years in prison for the horrific crime.

While under scrutiny, Challenor’s romantic partner was similarly embroiled in controversy after netizens discovered he had admitted to becoming aroused while fantasizing about children being sexually abused.

A trans-identified male and his partner have been sentenced to a combined total of 16 years and 9 months in prison for their roles in the horrific sexual abuse of a 4 year-old boy. Naomi O’Brien, born Nathan, reportedly encouraged his lover, Jonathan Walker, to sexually abuse the toddler.

Walker and O’Brien were arrested earlier this year after a complex, joint investigation undertaken by the Greater Manchester Police and the South Wales Police. The UK authorities had first become aware of the situation after being tipped off by the FBI, who had discovered that Walker was sharing disturbing images of child rape through messaging application Kik.

With O’Brien’s explicit direction, Walker sexually assaulted the young boy and filmed himself performing sex acts in front of the boy. He recorded the sickening abuse and shared the videos with pedophiles online. In addition to raping the toddler, Walker had also been downloading horrific videos of children and babies being abused and raped.

Investigators analyzed chat logs containing messages exchanged between Walker and O’Brien that indicated their sexual interest in children. O’Brien was discovered to have encouraged and aided Walker in sexually abusing the young victim on several occasions in March 2023.

Walker, 33, was found guilty of sexually abusing the 4-year-old boy, along with engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child and possession of indecent images. He was sentenced to 12-and-a-half years in prison, while O’Brien, 31, pleaded guilty to multiple counts including intentionally encouraging and assisting another to commit a sexual assault against a child, intentionally encouraging and assisting another to engage in sexual activity in the presence of a child, and engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child.

For his crimes, O’Brien was sentenced at Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court to 4 years and 3 months in prison, with a 4 years and 4 months Sexual Harm Prevention Order and Sex Offender Notification Requirements for life.

Disturbingly, O’Brien was referred to as a “woman” and “female” by police.

“Following a tenacious and lengthy investigation of 1,865 messages, our dedicated team was able to prove that the female suspects’ chats were not simply a case of role play or fantasy – she had knowledge that the male had an interest in sexually abusing a young boy on the direction of her,” said Detective Inspector Zoe Marsden, of the Greater Manchester Police’s Online Child Abuse Investigation Team, while referring to O’Brien as a “female” and using feminine pronouns for him.

“This is a significant result for what is a very vulnerable and innocent 4-year-old child who was subjected to multiple counts of abuse, but also for all other children in the community who could have been subject to similar offending by a predatory female who was inciting others to commit acts of sexual harm against the most vulnerable in society,” Marsden added.

O’Brien frequently posted highly sexualized images of himself on his public social media profiles, where he uses the name Morgan Naomi Clarke, and appeared to work in the sex trade.

Following the announcement of his sentencing, multiple news outlets reporting on the case took lead from the police and referred to O’Brien as a “woman” or as “female.” The BBC labeled O’Brien a “predatory woman,” as has The Oldham Times. The UK Sex Offenders Database has also listed O’Brien as a woman, having used the information that was provided by the Greater Manchester Police to the public.

On Facebook and Instagram, O’Brien had regularly shared photos of himself in women’s lingerie. In some instances, O’Brien can be seen pretending to be a young girl as part of a pornographic schoolgirl aesthetic. One such photo from March 2020 depicts O’Brien in a girl’s school uniform, tagged with the term “ddlgprincess,” a reference to the incestuous fetish subculture known as “Daddy Dom-Little Girl.”

The convicted sex offender also ran an OnlyFans account and sold sex through the website AdultWork under the moniker TS Taboo Goddess. O’Brien shared pornographic content of himself on OnlyFans while using hashtags related to the “age play community,” used to connote adults who have a sexual interest in pretending to be children.

“I am a pro-domme, have been since young and ‘innocent,'” reads O’Brien’s Adult Work bio. “No limits, Daddy. The more debauched, the better.”

On his X account, O’Brien shared a brief video of himself watching pornography that appears to depict minors with another man. The pornography is digitally rendered, and the ages of the characters depicted are unclear. Yet O’Brien tagged the clip with terms such as “teen,” “barely legal” and “no limits.”

In 2015 O’Brien was positively profiled by The Sun for his attempts to win a national beauty pageant, Miss Transgender UK. During the interview, O’Brien stated that he began identifying as transgender at the age of 21.

“It wasn’t until my late teens that I had the opportunity to dress as a girl as often as possible. When I did this I felt more confident and happy, I felt like the person I always wanted to be. It wasn’t until I was 21 that I realized I could live fulfilled this way and gained the bravery to change my body and my life,” O’Brien told the outlet.

O’Brien was similarly spotlighted by Caters TV for his bid to win the beauty pageant in a video produced by the program. In the clip, O’Brien cautioned viewers against discrimination.

Special thank you to Dalton Report for his contribution in bringing this case to light.

A Hobart City Council member is under investigation by the Anti-Discrimination Commissioner for “inciting hatred” after declaring “trans women are men.” Louise Elliot is now facing a costly formal inquiry by the Tasmanian Civil and Administrative Tribunal in a case which has the potential to restrict freedom of speech. If the tribunal rules against Elliot, she may be ordered to publicly apologize and pay a fine of up to $4,000.

In March, Elliot attended a Let Women Speak demonstration organized by Standing for Women and led by British women’s rights campaigner Kellie Jay-Keen. The event was intended to provide women with a platform to express their concerns or criticisms of gender ideology.

As part of a prepared speech she gave during the event, Elliot stated that it was impossible to change sex, that “trans women are trans women and remain biological men.”

During her speech, Elliot also highlighted how gender ideology poses safeguarding risks, noting how such policies impact women and girls.

“While the majority of men are decent, kind and caring people, men present an inherent danger to women. The vast majority of sex offenders and violence perpetrators are men. It is completely understandable that women would want spaces for females only, especially vulnerable spaces like changerooms, toilets, and showers. It is absolute insanity that we have a law that allows a man to at 10am declare he’s a woman and by 11am be sharing changerooms and showers with young girls.”

On May 5, Elliot received a letter from the Tasmanian Anti-Discrimination Commissioner (ADC) informing her that they had received a complaint about her statements and had opened an investigation into her activities for “inciting hatred” under the Tasmanian Anti-Discrimination Act.

The complainant, who cannot be named during the ongoing investigation, also took issue with a statement made by Elliot in the context of male violence and the defense of women-only spaces, wherein she stated, “You cannot be raped with a penis if there is no penis present.”

In November, Tasmanian ADC Sarah Bolt ruled that Elliot’s case would proceed to a tribunal inquiry. In response, Elliot has been vocal about her situation on X (formerly Twitter), and has promised to appeal her case to the High Court should she be found guilty of inciting hatred.

“If it is found that I have incited hatred with these accurate, factual, accurate, and true statements, then I won’t be standing for that. And I know that the majority of Australians don’t believe the truth can be hate. So we will absolutely be taking it all the way to the High Court, because this is a massive overreach on our implied right to freedom of belief, freedom of expression, political communication, and we need to defend that,” Elliot told Ben Fordham Live.

Elliot also noted that the legal attack against her is being funded by taxpayers. “The threshold for inciting hatred needs to be really high. It can’t be just because someone is offended. What really gets me is that it’s our taxpayer money that is funding this attack on freedom of speech.”

However, Elliot is expected to pay her legal fees out of her own pocket, and is crowdfunding to cover costs. In the event of a ruling against her and an appeal to the High Court, Elliot has said she estimates the process to cost $100,000.

In addition to the litigation, Elliot says she’s also been experiencing harassment from her colleagues for criticizing gender identity ideology. In a video she shared to X in October, Elliot described how she had been singled out for her views.

“Over the past several months, I’ve been copping some pretty heavy bullying by some of the Hobart City Councillors, and collectively as a council. You hear the Hobart City Council talking a lot about inclusion, diversity, and being welcoming and kind… But inclusion is welcomed if you agree with their thinking. If you don’t agree, then you are heavily excluded and targeted and bullied,” she said.

Elliot went on to explain that she does not believe that humans can change sex, and that women and girls are entitled to single-sex spaces and sports.

During one meeting, the Deputy Lord Mayor Councilor Helen Burnet put forward a motion that the council write to three different organizations to complain about Elliot. The councilors wrote to the Integrity Commission, the Anti-Discrimination Commission, and local government officials to request action be taken against Elliot over a series of posts she made on X.

“We had a training session from a local organization, and I questioned some of the details that were in their fact sheet. Some of the details I found quite concerning, for example, statements that, ‘Trans women are not dominating women’s sport.’ I disagreed with that and tweeted some pictures of trans women playing in women’s soccer, and it’s happening globally,” Elliot said.

“In the fact sheet we had, they also tried to say that because black women are women, trans women are women. And I found that really quite a disturbing statement, quite racist and far from the truth.”

The fact sheet presented during the diversity training session, run in September by Working It Out Tasmania, also argued that trans-identified males do not pose a risk in female-only spaces.

“There is very little evidence of women’s spaces being secretly infiltrated by people with criminal motives, eg, sexual assault. Nearly every story that has emerged in the media or research regarding this has been disproven or discredited,” the document stated.

Elliot further revealed that she had been sent a letter by Deputy Lord Mayor Councillor Helen Burnet chastising her for her views.

“You have consistently spoken out against transgender people and have on the public record refuted that transgender women are women,” the letter read. At Burnet’s request the city council asked the Anti-Discrimination Commissioner to consider that Elliot had, in their view, breached the Anti-Discrimination Act of 1998, which was amended in 2019 to include the subjective category of gender identity, but does not presently provide legal protections on the basis of biological sex.

Elliot has said she has received a flood of supportive messages from constituents. In September, a small demonstration was held outside of Hobart City Council Town Hall, wherein protesters called on the Deputy Mayor to “call off the witch hunt” against Elliot.

A trans-identified male who recently transitioned has been dominating women’s cycling events along the east coast while working with the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee at the University of Vermont. Reduxx has learned that Roger “Roxanne” Bombardier, 57, is also a member of a fetish subculture that associates womanhood with sexual servitude.

On December 2, Bombardier took first place in the women’s Fat Bike category at the Ice Weasels Cometh race in Southwick, Massachusetts. News of his win was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @i_heart__bikes, an account documenting the rapid increase in men participating in women’s cycling events on the basis of gender identity.

Since 2021, Bombardier has competed in 19 events in the women’s category, coming in first in five races, and second in two. In October 2021, Bombardier came in first in the Women’s Masters 50+ event in Wrightsville, Vermont, where he was one of only two listed participants. During that race, Bombardier beat Fran Plaisted, who has not entered another competition since. In two other events where Bombardier has taken first place, he was the only competitor.

Bombardier, a combat veteran of the war in Iraq, had previously participated in races in the men’s division. In 2018, he won gold in his division for men aged 50-54 in a 40K road race held at the Vermont/Maine Senior Games.

During a 2020 interview for Vermont Sports, Bombardier stated: “I’ve been trans since I was 11, so I it’s something I’m used to fighting, and being in the closet about. It was something I only shared with certain people. I presented as a transvestite for a long time and would dress in secret.”

He added that the “catalyst” for publicly declaring that he identifies as transgender was seeing “Bruce Jenner… become Caitlyn Jenner,” as well as the public “transition” of trans-identified former Vermont gubernatorial candidate Christine Hallquist.

Disturbingly, Reduxx has learned that Bombardier has been following and interacting with SoundCloud accounts that create “sissification hypnosis” audio tracks during a time period that coincides with his participation in women’s events.

According to Bomarbier’s profile, he has been following multiple accounts that produce content known as “sissification hypnosis,” typically shortened to sissy hypno. On the SoundCloud platform, sissy hypno is comprised of audio files wherein a speaker narrates, in a hypnosis format, instructing the listener to dissociate from their male self and to adopt a new, feminine identity.

One account followed by Bombardier, emi.transfemme, operated a now-defunct pornographic microblogging site called Sissy Nexus which encouraged male visitors to “fully embrace the unceasing desire to be a woman.” On his main SoundCloud page, emi.transfemme has compiled dozens of sissy audio files in a playlist titled “Normalize Feminization,” and features an avatar of a man’s anus. He also advertises his FetLife profile, where he uses the name Piper Bream and lists a series of BDSM-related fetishes.

Track titles highlighted by emi.transfemme include “Ladies & Sissies (The Sissy Maker),” “Limp and Obedient,” “Bimbo Mantra,” “Accept Faggotry,” “Permanent Princess,” and “The Curse of the Teeny Weenie.” All are produced with the intention of encouraging listeners to feminize themselves and several repeat tropes about women typically found in pornography.

“Bimbo Mantra” is recited by a feminine AI voice on loop: “I like it when my mind goes blank. I like it when my mind goes pop. I love getting empty and letting my mind drop. I love to show off my plastic tits and fill my head with air. I just need to giggle and listen so good. I love getting blank and brainless. So much better to touch my plastic tits than to think.”

Another account followed by Bombardier, hypnosissteps, purports to help men “unleash your inner woman.” A track titled “Crossdresser Feminization Hypnosis,” narrated by a female voice, encourages men with a transvestic fetish to “allow your subconscious to take over” in order to “create an inner woman for you.”

“Girls learn how to walk, talk and act like women around the age of twelve… it does not come to them naturally. The way women walk and talk is taught to them by society when they are girls… Simply being themselves, they enjoy men fawning over them… and other women thinking of them as competitors. This is how easy it can be for you,” the narrator says.

In a track titled “Transgender Feminization Hypnosis,” the narrator speaks slowly over the sound of running water, and describes a woman with a “magical aura” and a “sparkling seductive shine.”

“What a perfect voice she has. Seductive, feminine, round and beautiful. This woman combines every feminine feature you have ever wanted for yourself, in exactly the way you’ve always dreamed of. In a flash, your whole being is amazed as you look at her face and suddenly realize that this woman is actually you!”

Bombardier has also interacted with sissification audio, and three years ago commented on one track called “Long Feminization” by user Gondolkodom Most.

“Listen to me and sink a little deeper… The deeper you sink, the harder it is to remember your old body template at all. Image is everything. If a person wears appropriately feminine underwear, those things will become a pleasant and enjoyable part of how they go about their days… eventually they will have re-crafted their self-image… the old body template has been cast aside.”

“LOVE THIS,” thank you for making it. Would love it if you made more feminization audios,” Bombardier responded.

On his Facebook page, Bombardier has compared legislation seeking to restrict sports categories on the basis of sex to the persecution of Jewish athletes during Germany’s Nazi regime.

In July, cycling competition Belgian Waffle Ride announced the creation of an “open” category in the interest of preserving “equal access and opportunities.” Beginning from August 1, BWR stated, only “racers who were born female” would be permitted to enter the female classification, and likewise for the male designation. The open category would be for “all racers, regardless of gender identification.”

Bombardier lashed out at the organization on Instagram in a rant which equated the category classifications to racism against African Americans in the United States during the Civil Rights era.

“Bigot [sic] are constantly in the process of attacking cisgender women accusing them of being transgender for having short hair or a sqaure jaw. I am reminded of historical claims that non-white races are better suited for other types of work due to their biology. This is BIGOTRY pure and simple,” Bombardier wrote. The BWR would delete the post from their social media shortly after.

Bombardier is currently listed as a member of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee at the University of Vermont which oversaw the development of an “Inclusive Excellence Action Plan” launched in 2022. According to the guidelines, stated goals include increasing “faculty/staff participation in DEI-related trainings, conferences, and professional development events.”
