Male Cyclists Take Home First, Second Places At Women’s CycloCross Cup In Chicago

Two trans-identified males dominated women’s competitions at the Chicago CycloCross Cup yesterday, leading many women’s rights advocates to condemn the tournament for allowing men to self-identify into the women’s categories.

The CycloCross Cup was held at Jackson Park in Chicago, Illinois from October 7 to 8, and comprised of over one dozen different competitions for men, women, and junior athletes. But two trans-identified males topped the podium in two different competitions, taking home medals and, in one event, prize money.

In the Women’s SingleSpeed and Category 1/2 races, trans-identified male Tessa Johnson took first place. The Category 1/2 competition also came with $150 in prize money.

But Johnson wasn’t the only male on the podium in the Women’s SingleSpeed, with Evelyn Williamson taking silver in the competition. The result means that only one biological female, Allison Zmuda, was on the podium for that race, placing third for bronze.

Williamson also participated in the Women’s Category 1/2 race, placing fourth and winning $75 in prize money.

According to the Chicago CrossCup’s website, the competition prides itself on “first and foremost fostering a positive & supportive community built around competitive cyclocross racing,” continuing: “That means welcoming and challenging everyone who wants to contribute to the series and make it better in that regard.”

In its official FAQ on the topic of transgender cyclists, the Cup notes that “discrimination or harassment of any kind on the basis of race, color, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identification, national origin, or any other stupid idea someone comes up with to belittle another racer will not be tolerated at [our] events and may result in disqualification.”

On X (formerly Twitter), news of Johnson and Williamson’s victories was shared by user @i_heart_bikes, an anonymous female cyclist who frequently calls out males self-identifying as “women” in the sport. In response, many women’s rights advocates and sports enthusiasts condemned the competition for allowing the men to participate.

“What impressive men who can beat women with their testosterone,” one user said sarcastically.

“Male athletic advantage exists. It doesn’t belong in the protected category of women’s sports. More importantly, it is not the responsibility of any female athlete in any level of any sport to validate or affirm the identity of men. Ever,” Jess Kruchoski replied.

“Pathetic failed men proud of winning prizes meant for women. Total failures both of them,” user @crusepat wrote.

Speaking to Reduxx on the results of the Chicago CycloCross Cup (CCC), a spokeswoman from ICONS condemned the competition for not prioritizing fairness towards female athletes.

“The CCC states that discrimination will not be tolerated; however, they fail to recognize that by allowing advantaged male athletes to take podium awards in women’s races, they are blatantly discriminating against half the population,” she said.

ICONS, or the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, is a campaign group dedicated to defending the rights of female athletes to single-sex sport and has vocally advocated against policies which allow males to self-identify into women’s athletic categories.

Referencing the CCC’s FAQ on trans athletes, the ICONS representative points out a particular passage in which those who have an issue with gender self-identification are told they shouldn’t participate.

“If you are at a CCC event you are here to race your bike hard (or cheer on someone else who is), have a good time, and you are welcome as part of this big, goofy, oddball family … If you can’t do that without trivializing someone because they are different than you, then just stay home and enjoy the game on TV,” the FAQ reads.

The ICONS spokeswoman takes issue with the framing, and labels it misogynistic.

“Presenting old-fashioned misogyny as something their ‘goofy, oddball family’ does to ‘have a good time’ is insulting to female riders who suffer profound harm from being told that their accomplishments don’t matter, and they must take a backseat to the preferences of men,” she says.

Both Johnson and Williamson have been racing in women’s cycling for years, with Williamson collecting 18 first place titles in races across the country since 2017. 

In September, Reduxx reported that Johnson and Williamson competed as a team in two separate women’s races in Illinois, taking first place in both of them. During one of the competitions, Williamson and Johnson competed under the team name “TS-ESTRODOLLS,” a reference to cross-sex hormones.

Johnson and Williamson celebrated their initial first place win on August 27 after their victory at the xXx Racing-Athletic Relay Cross in Chicago. The two men surpassed nine pairs of women for first place.

Just days later on August 31, Johnson and Williamson beat out two teams of women at the Ed Rudolph Velodrome during the State Championship in Madison.

Williamson is reportedly in a polyamorous relationship with Austin Killips, another trans-identified male cyclist who has become notorious for his frequent participation in women’s competitions. Killips has similarly taken several first place wins in women’s categories and has forced at least one woman out of the sport after targeting her with physical aggression during a race.

UN Women Prompts Outrage After Focusing On “Uplifting” Trans Lesbians While Violence Against Women In Israel Rages On

By
Shay Woulahan
-

The official account for United Nations Women is under fire after posting in celebration of “trans lesbians” despite having released no formal statement condemning the violence against women in war-torn Israel. The posts, of which two were made on October 8, were intended to celebrate “International Lesbian Day.”

In the first post made to X (formerly Twitter), UN Women stated that there was “no one way to be a lesbian or express womanhood,” leaving many users confused as to the underlying meaning.

“There is only one way to be a lesbian,” one user wrote. “To be a female exclusively attracted to other females. And there is only one way to express womanhood — to be an adult human female,” user @OneSmallVoice wrote.

“Nah, there’s only one way to be either,” another user responded.

After hundreds of negative replies, UN Women made a second post hours later in an apparent effort to double-down on their narrative.

“Remember, trans lesbians are lesbians too,” the post read. “Let’s uplift and honor EVERY expression of love and identity!” The post was accompanied by an image reiterating “trans lesbians are lesbians.”

Immediately, UN Women was hit with a storm of backlash from users who called the post “homophobic” and “rapey.”

Giggle Founder Sall Grover said the notice was “anti-lesbian,” stating: “Men aren’t lesbians. Deal with it.”

Another top reply on the post, written by UK-based safeguarding group Safe Schools Alliance, accused UN Women of propagating rape culture.

“You are a disgrace. Delete this tweet, then delete your account. How DARE you contribute to the #RapeCulture women & girls suffer, from childhood, worldwide. Stand down & let people who know #SexMatters advocate for women & girls including our lesbian sisters.”

Other advocates that fight for women’s sex-based rights similarly called out UN Women, with many noting that the organization has yet to release an official statement condemning the brutality committed against women in Israel.

On October 7, Hamas militants launched a surprise offensive on Israel, targeting civilian areas with violence. Almost immediately, horrific videos began to circulate on social media showing the Islamic soldiers kidnapping and brutalizing women. In one of the most shocking pieces of footage, Hamas militants were seen parading around the corpse of a woman now identified as a German-Israeli civilian who had been in the region to attend a pro-peace festival.

As of the writing of this article, over 700 people in Israel have been confirmed dead and over 2000 are injured. In Gaza, the Palestinian Health Ministry has reported 370 dead, with over 2200 injured. Over 100 people have been taken as hostages by Hamas, a great number of them are women and children.

Jewish journalist Eve Barlow pointed out that despite making time to advocate for “trans lesbians,” UN Women hasn’t discussed the violence committed in Israel against females.

“@UN_Women has not issued a single tweet from their account about the crimes committed against Israel’s women. One [repost] on the subject, one tweet about Afghanistan and two about #LesbianDay. Jewish women deserve your advocacy,” stated journalist and activist Eve Barlow.

This is not the first time UN Women and the United Nations has promoted gender ideology at the expense of women. UN Women has a well-established history of calling for all nations to allow men to be able to self-declare their legal sex as female.

“Trans women have the right to recognition of their self-identified gender – but in most countries, this is not available or subject to abusive restrictions,” UN Women posted in June.

This was blasted by British Member of Parliament Rosie Duffield who responded to the organization’s statement.

“No, this is not a universally accepted ‘right’ at all. And as a Member of Parliament in England, I will continue to work with other legislators to stop self-id from destroying women’s rights – rights to sport, single sex spaces, same-sex medical care.”

On International Women’s Day in 2020, UN Women endorsed a statement made by a trans-identified male in which he referred to women as “formless.” The man being celebrated by UN Women, model Aaron Philip, bragged about being platformed by the United Nations and referred to women who protested as “TERFs.”

EXCLUSIVE: Award-Winning Polish Musician Removed From Performances, Teaching Contract After Criticizing Gender Ideology

By
Bryndís Blackadder
-

An award-winning Polish electronic and noise musician has found herself “canceled” after speaking out against gender ideology. Ewa Justka, a musician and electronics teacher, has spoken exclusively to Reduxx about her experience becoming the target for harassment and abuse because of her views.

Justka’s ordeal began on July 1, when she posted on her Instagram in support of Harry Potter creator JK Rowling and professor Kathleen Stock. Justka uploaded multiple screenshots, including one with the definition of “lesbian” as a “female homosexual,” and another of a Telegraph article which denounced the term “TERF” as “the ultimate slur against women.” TERF is an acronym meaning “trans exclusionary radical feminist,” but has been applied more broadly to any woman who criticizes gender ideology, often accompanied with threats of violence.

“Are you a woman who experienced sex-based discrimination? Have you been canceled for expressing your views regarding recent misogyny and hatred towards feminists like JK Rowling, Kathleen Stock, and other brave women having the balls (metaphoric ones) to speak out?” Justka began her Instagram post, continuing that she wanted women who fit her description to contact her.

But shortly after the post was uploaded, Justka found herself the target of a cancellation campaign intended to penalize her for her views.

Following her post on Instagram, Justka received hate mail in her direct messages and emails, angry comments on her post, a removal from a pending compilation album, and the cancellation of workshops and gigs.

One of her shows, which had been arranged at The Old Hairdressers in Glasgow, was cancelled, and Justka began to receive intense online and in-person harassment from local musicians. One local establishment, Stereo, even refused her service due to allegedly making patrons “feel unsafe” because of her views.

One of the hateful messages Justka received included a threat from music journalist Peter Kirn who stated “…tell you what, Ewa- we’ll beat you. I’ll do my best to absolutely makes sure no one works with you. So you want to see the power of this patriarchal system you’re so upset about? Watch me.”

While she was immediately struck off from some events she had been scheduled at, one of her most pressing concerns was her appearance with an influential artist.

Justka was due to perform alongside British electronic musician Mathew Herbert in October of 2023 at the Gulbenkian Art Centre in Canterbury, an event associated with the Oram Awards. Worried the campaign against her would reach the Awards administration, she contacted them for support and assurance that they would not cancel her appearance. But she found that her invitation to perform was being rescinded.

Justka won the Oram Award in 2017 and is an alumna of the institution, having won the “inaugural” competition judged by Róisín Murphy and mastering engineer Mandy Parnell. As described by FACT magazine: “The PRS Foundation and The New BBC Radiophonic Workshop have announced a new awards initiative to celebrate women innovating in the fields of sound and music. The awards are named after BBC Radiophonic Workshop co-founder Daphne Oram and purport to “build on her legacy.”

Justka was offered the invitation in May to travel to appear in the October 7 event where she was contracted to run an audio-visual synth workshop, appear in a Q&A panel, and do a performance, with brochures for the event being produced.

In an email seen by Reduxx, Justka reached out to The Oram Awards on July 7 to ask whether they were planning on removing her from the event due to her opinions.

“I’m not sure if you are aware, but during the last few days I have experienced quite a big wave of harassment, attempts of intimidation, bullying and I lost numerous workshops and gigs,” Justka wrote. “I have stated in a public post, that I stand for JK Rowling and Kathleen Stock and I’m against calling women ‘menstruators,’ ‘birthing people’ and other dehumanizing slurs. Consequently, I was told I’m a transphobe and homophobe, which is absolutely untrue.” 

She then elaborated on her opinions on the political situation, linking it to the Oram Awards’ mission statement.

“Please let me know where you stand on that, as I won’t stay silent about this, and also I want to have an actual discussion with people about this topic, no matter what they identify as. Unfortunately I wasn’t given this opportunity yet.”

Days later, the Oram Awards responded:

“Thank you for reaching out to us about this. We weren’t aware of this situation and sorry to hear how this experience has affected you personally and professionally. We want to carefully discuss this and reply to you when the rest of the team comes back from holiday next week.”

Justka chased them up a week later as she had received no further communication, and finally received a reply on July 18.

“We are an organization fighting for women’s rights in the music industry by providing a much-needed platform for their work and supporting their creative development,” an Oram Awards organizer wrote. “Our position on trans rights is that trans women are women and we hope that everyone we work with responds to that respectfully.”

Confused, Justka asked for an elaboration, and inquired as to whether the Awards was suggesting that males could change their sex or identify into womanhood.

On July 20, Justka received a response condemning her “negative emails” towards the Awards, and stating that “it has become clear that we can no longer work with you.”

It continued: “This email is confirmation that the invitation to participate in our event at the Gulbenkian on October 7th has been revoked.”

Following the months-long ordeal, Justka continued to lose work, including a provisional arrangement to lecture for the London College of Communication at the University of the Arts in London. She has since moved to Italy in order “to escape” the situation.

While continuing her work in solitude, Justka has created an album in response to her cancellation and started a women-only project to encourage female musicians to create and build their own electronic synthesizers.

Speaking to Reduxx, Justka explained that her July comments came from a place of concern for the impact gender ideology was having on women’s rights.

“I’ve been listening to women’s voices and hearing about the discrimination so many of them went through just by stating biological facts and by sharing their concerns about having dangerous men in women’s prisons, and predators who take advantage of self id laws in UK,” she said. “Moreover, I’ve experienced domestic abuse throughout my life, I couldn’t stay silent anymore.”

Calling gender ideology “extremely dangerous,” Justka notes that the language employed by trans activists often dehumanizes women and erodes women-only spaces.

“This all damages women’s rights so many feminists fought for. The art scene that celebrates this ideology is, in my view, extremely hypocritical and I could not subscribe to their agenda anymore.”

Justka notes that her expulsion from the Oram Awards was the most hurtful incident in her ordeal.

“The Oram Awards claims to be a ‘women-supporting foundation,’ yet it clearly does not stand for women since, in their view, men can be women and they’ll drop a female artist in a whim if she dares to question gender ideology,” she says. “I moved to the UK from Poland as I believed I would be valued according to my work, knowledge, and capabilities. Clearly, I was wrong – it’s unfortunate, but in UK, if you’re a female artist and don’t subscribe to gender ideology, you will be cancelled, and your work opportunities will be taken away. It’s very clear to me, that this is vindictive, Stasi-like discrimination of women and girls and we must speak out against it and stand for women’s rights.”

Ironically, one of the judges who awarded Justka the Oram Award in 2017, pop-musician Róisín Murphy, also recently found herself being attacked for making a statement against gender ideology.

Murphy made international headlines after screenshots of a comment she made on her personal Facebook page began circulating on X (formerly Twitter). In the post, Murphy stated: “Please don’t call me a terf, please don’t keep using that word against women. I beg you! But puberty blockers ARE FUCKED, absolutely desolate, big pharma laughing all the way to the bank. Little mixed up kids are vulnerable and need to be protected, that’s just true.”

Murphy soon after penned an apology following some backlash from trans activists, and it is alleged that the BBC refused to play tunes from her chart-topping album as a result of her comments.

Un grupo alemán defensor de los derechos de los pederastas pide a sus miembros que vean una película sobre un “menor trans” y afirma que se debe permitir a los menores “autodeterminar” su sexualidad

By
Anna Slatz
-

Un conocido grupo de presión pederasta alemán ha respaldado la nueva ley de autoidentificación de género, afirmando que los “menores trans” son “políticamente importantes” para promover los derechos de los pederastas. Krumme-13, también conocido como K13, también manda a sus miembros que vean una película sobre un niño de 8 años al que “transicionan” para que viva como “niña”.

El 4 de octubre, K13 publicó un anuncio en su sitio web sobre una película que se iba a proyectar en televisión. La película, Simplemente Nina, se había estrenado en 2022 y contaba la historia de un niño que se “rebela” contra su cuerpo.

Según la sinopsis de la película de la página web del Festival de Cine de Hamburgo, el protagonista de 8 años, Nina, está “convencido de que se cometió un error cuando nació” y “se arma de valor e informa a su familia que siempre se ha sentido como una niña y que le gustaría vivir como tal”. Nina es interpretado por Arian Wegener, un niño actor.

K13 elogia la película, que según señalan, se proyectó en televisión el 6 de octubre. Continúan diciendo que “la cuestión de los niños transexuales tiene actualmente una gran importancia política”, y mencionan el borrador recientemente aprobado del nuevo proyecto de ley de autoidentificación de género de Alemania. Este proyecto de ley pretende facilitar considerablemente a la gente el cambio de nombre y de “sexo”, algo que se podrá hacer una vez al año sin necesidad de documentación médica que demuestre que el individuo en cuestión está en proceso de “transición”.

En su anuncio, K13 señala que “los menores a partir de los 14 años” podrán cambiar su nombre y sexo registral con el consentimiento de sus tutores legales o, si sus progenitores no dan su consentimiento, con el permiso de un tribunal de familia. Pero K13 sugiere que la edad propuesta para la autodeterminación de género es demasiado elevada.

“¿Por qué la identidad de género es también políticamente importante para los pedófilos/pederastas?” pregunta K13. “El género y la identidad sexual no sólo comienzan a los 14 años, cuando termina la llamada edad límite de protección. Los menores pueden y quieren experimentar su sexualidad infantil autodeterminada de antemano”.

La publicación continúa: “La sexualidad infantil en su conjunto debe dejar de ser un tabú. Porque las relaciones pedosexuales no son concebibles sin una sexualidad infantil autodeterminada”.

K13 fue fundada en 1993 en Tréveris, Alemania, por Dieter Gieseking, que estuvo encarcelado brevemente por posesión de pornografía infantil. Gieseking ha sido un firme defensor de la legalización de la pederastia y enmarca la actividad sexual entre adultos y niños como algo normal.

En una entrevista de 2018 para el programa Veto, Gieseking se refiere repetidamente a la pederastia como una “relación romántica” e insiste en que las criaturas pueden seducir a los adultos. “En los foros y en mi experiencia pasa muchas veces, por ejemplo, que un niño de, digamos, 12 años, es el que realmente inicia la relación”, dice.

Gieseking también hizo varias referencias a los Países Bajos, un país conocido por su destacado activismo pederasta y que actualmente alberga la mayoría (el 66%) de todos los sitios de CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material, material de abuso sexual infantil en sus siglas en inglés) de la Unión Europea. Dijo al entrevistador que Alemania debería seguir el ejemplo de los Países Bajos y reducir la edad de consentimiento a los 12 años.

“Eso no es más que el espíritu de la época actual, en el pasado los estudios han demostrado los muchos beneficios (del sexo con menores) para los menores… El problema es que han surgido organizaciones de protección de las víctimas y de la infancia que han influido en los principales medios de comunicación”, añadió Gieseking.

Como informó anteriormente Reduxx, Gieseking ha presentado un total de tres peticiones ante el Parlamento alemán en las que pide a los miembros de los Socialistas Demócratas, del Partido Democrático Libre y del Partido Verde que acepten una enmienda a la legislación antidiscriminatoria de Alemania que protegería la pederastia como una “identidad sexual”.

Gieseking enmarca su campaña como si fuera un intento de defender los “derechos de los menores” y de proteger a las “minorías sexuales” de la discriminación. Las dos peticiones más recientes se presentaron al gobierno el 14 de febrero de 2021.

El 2 de julio, miembros de K13 se congregaron en el Desfile del Orgullo de Colonia, conocido coloquialmente como Christopher Street Day (CSD), y desplegaron una bandera que representaba el orgullo de las “personas atraídas por menores”. También portaban pancartas en las que se oponían a la “censura” de la organización Queer.de y abogaban por una “diversidad de opiniones” dentro de la comunidad LGBT.

PORTUGAL: Un hombre que se dice trans es acusado de asesinar a su padre y de intentar asesinar a su madre en un episodio “psicótico”

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

Un hombre que se dice trans ha comparecido ante los tribunales acusado del brutal asesinato de su padre y del intento de asesinato de su madre. Tânia Ferrinho, de 43 años, está acusado de apuñalar a su padre diecisiete veces y de apuñalar siete veces a su madre postrada en cama, en un horrible incidente ocurrido en octubre de 2022 en Samora Correia, Portugal.

El caso de Ferrinho fue llevado ante el Tribunal de Santarém el 13 de septiembre, y los alegatos finales se presentaron el 4 de octubre. El tribunal escuchó cómo los ancianos padres de Ferrinho, Carlos y María, habían sufrido numerosos episodios de violencia a manos de su hijo, y ya habían obtenido una orden judicial que le prohibía acercarse a ellos.

Al parecer, el origen del conflicto entre Ferrinho y sus padres giraba en torno a su “cambio de sexo”, que ellos desaprobaban. Ferrinho comenzó a identificarse como transgénero en 2020, cuando cambió legalmente su nombre por el de Tânia.

Otra fuente importante de tensión tenía que ver con las finanzas, ya que, según los informes, Ferrinho ni había trabajado ni tenido un empleo estable y vivía en casa dependiendo de los recursos de sus padres ancianos. Ana Gomes, de la Fiscalía, dijo al tribunal que la relación era tensa debido a la “apatía del acusado” a la hora de buscar un trabajo mientras usaba los ingresos de sus padres para “compras en línea”.

De acuerdo con el auto de procesamiento de la Fiscalía, la brutal agresión ocurrió después de que Ferrinho fuera nombrado en un nuevo caso de violencia doméstica por sus padres, quienes intentaban echarlo de su apartamento.

El 26 de septiembre de 2022, pocas semanas antes de que se produjera el crimen, Ferrinho publicó un video en su cuenta de Facebook en el que afirmaba ser víctima de acoso e hizo un vago comentario que parecía sugerir que sus padres podrían “acusarme de prostitución como una forma de quedarse con la casa”.

El día del crimen, el 10 de octubre, Ferrinho parece haber tenido una discusión con sus padres relacionada con el dinero. Exigió una paga, que sus padres se negaron a darle. Poco después, la Guardia Nacional Republicana (GNR) visitó el domicilio de la familia para informar a Ferrinho de que se iba a abrir otra causa contra él por malos tratos en el Juzgado de Benavente. Ferrinho ya estaba en libertad condicional por una doble condena en 2021 por agresión física con agravantes contra sus padres ancianos, informó Rede Regional.

Justo después de que la policía abandonara el lugar, Ferrinho comenzó a acuchillar repetidamente a su padre de 77 años, que huyó al pasillo del edificio de apartamentos antes de caer al suelo. Falleció de sus heridas en diciembre mientras estaba ingresado en el Hospital Vila Franca de Xira.

Después de apuñalar a su padre diecisiete veces, Ferrinho se volvió contra su madre, que estaba postrada en cama y en mal estado de salud, y comenzó a agredirla con el cuchillo. Un vecino que había escuchado gritos desde su apartamento intervino y evitó que Ferrinho asesinara a su madre. Más tarde, el vecino declaró que Ferrinho había intentado inicialmente culpar a su padre de la agresión a su madre. Aunque ella no murió por las puñaladas, fallecería más tarde de una enfermedad poco después que su marido.

En las deliberaciones finales del caso, el Ministerio Público intentó racionalizar el asesinato como resultado del “conflicto interno” presentado por la identidad transgénero de Ferrinho. Gomes afirmó que hay “sensibilidad para entender el conflicto interno de alguien que, desde pequeño, no se identifica con el género con el que nació”.

Sin embargo, Gomes agregó también que “[él] no mostró ningún remordimiento” por el crimen, y pidió una sentencia que tuviera en cuenta la gravedad del delito.

La abogada Maria João Alves, defensora del acusado, argumentó que el asesinato se produjo tras una serie de eventos traumáticos, entre ellos su “cambio de género” y la muerte de su hermano mayor, que supuestamente le causaron “brotes psicóticos y, a veces, interrupciones de conciencia”. Alves afirmó que Ferrinho estaba en estado psicótico cuando apuñaló a sus padres.

“Tengo dudas muy grandes de que Tânia hubiera cometido este acto conscientemente y estoy seguro de que [él] nunca recibió ayuda”, dijo Alves. Ferrinho era “incapaz de controlar [sus] impulsos” en el momento del crimen, dijo la abogada, y pidió que la sentencia del Tribunal tuviera en cuenta sus circunstancias personales.

El Tribunal dictará sentencia el 18 de octubre.

El caso de Ferrinho se dio a conocer por primera vez al público en general después de que los medios de comunicación informaran que las funcionarias de prisión se habían negado a realizarle cacheos con desnudo integral durante su detención en una cárcel de mujeres. A pesar de conservar su órgano sexual masculino, Ferrinho exigió que sus cacheos los ejecutaran guardias de sexo femenino del Establecimiento Penitenciario de Tires.

Las mujeres empleadas en la cárcel se negaron, porque “el procedimiento implicaba biológicamente ver a una persona de distinto sexo y ver un pene”, dijo el presidente de la Asociación de Jefes del Cuerpo de Guardia de Prisiones, Hermínio Barradas.

Después de una hora, dos guardias de sexo femenino finalmente llevaron a cabo el registro corporal “bajo protesta”.

Portugal aprobó una ley que permite la autoidentificación de sexo en 2018, pero se dice que el caso de Ferrinho es el primer caso conocido de un enfrentamiento entre el personal penitenciario femenino y un recluso violento que se dice trans. Los informes del incidente señalan que las guardias “temen la llegada de más reclusos transgénero”.

Ana Aresta, presidenta de ILGA (Intervenção Lesbica, Gay, Bissexual, Trans e Intersex) dijo en aquel momento a los medios de comunicación que el personal penitenciario aplicaba correctamente la legislación de autoidentificación de sexo. “Las personas no tienen que pasar por ningún tipo de proceso de afirmación quirúrgica para ser consideradas hombres o mujeres”, dijo.

Sin embargo, Barradas no se mostró de acuerdo y afirmó que la ley no obligaba a las funcionarias de prisiones a hacer cacheos con desnudo integral a los reclusos varones que no se hayan sometido a cirugía genital. Aun así, según los informes, un documento interno que circuló dentro del sistema penitenciario portugués establece que un recluso transgénero debe ser registrado “por un miembro del servicio de vigilancia y seguridad del mismo género con el que se identifica la persona transgénero”, incluso si conserva su órgano sexual.

German Pedophile Rights Group Calls For Members To Watch Film About A “Trans Kid,” Claim Children Must Be Allowed To “Self-Determine” Sexuality

By
Anna Slatz
-

A notorious German pedophile lobby group has endorsed the new gender self-identification law, stating that “trans kids” are “politically important” for advancing pedophile rights. Krumme-13, also known as K13, are also directing its members to watch a movie about an 8-year-old boy who is transitioned to live as a “girl.”

On October 4, K13 published an announcement on its website regarding a film that was set to be screened on television. The movie, Simply Nina, was initially released in 2022 and featured the story of a child “rebelling” against their body.

According to the film’s synopsis on the Hamburg Filmfest’s website, the 8-year-old main character, Nina, is “convinced that a mistake was made at birth” and “plucks up her courage and informs her family that she has always felt like a girl and would like to live as one.” Nina is portrayed by male child actor Arian Wegener.

K13 offers praise for the film, which they noted was being screened on television on October 6. They continue that “the issue of transsexual children is currently of great political importance,” and mention the newly-passed draft of Germany’s new gender self-identification bill. The bill is intended to make it significantly easier for people to change their name and sex, something they will be able to do once per year with no medical documentation needed to demonstrate the individual is transitioning.

In their announcement, K13 notes that “minors from the age of 14” will be allowed to change their name and legal sex with the consent of their guardians or, if their parents will not consent, the permission of a family court. But K13 suggests the age proposed for gender self-determination is too high.

“Why is gender identity also politically important for pedophiles/pedosophists?” K13 asks. “Gender and sexual identity does not only begin on the 14th birthday, when the so-called protection age limit ends. Children can and want to experience their childhood sexuality self-determined beforehand.”

The post continues: “Child sexuality as a whole must no longer be a taboo. Because pedosexual relationships are not conceivable without self-determined child sexuality.”

K13 was founded in 1993 in Trier, Germany by Dieter Gieseking, who was briefly imprisoned on possession of child pornography. Gieseking has been a vocal advocate for the legalization of pedophilia, and frames adult-child sexual activity as normal.

In a 2018 interview for the program Veto, Gieseking repeatedly refers to pedophilia as a “romantic relationship,” and insists that children can seduce adults. “On the forums and in my experience there are many times, for example, when a boy of let’s say 12, actually initiates the relationship,” he says.

Gieseking also made several references to the Netherlands, a country known for its prominent pedophile activism and which currently hosts the majority — 66 percent — of all CSAM sites in the European Union. He told the interviewer that Germany should follow the Netherlands’ lead and lower the age of consent to 12 years old.

“That is just the current zeitgeist, in the past studies have shown the many benefits (of sex with children) for children… The problem is that victim protection and child protection organizations have sprung up and influenced mainstream media,” Gieseking added.

As previously reported by Reduxx, Gieseking has filed a total of three petitions with Germany’s parliament calling on members of the Socialist Democrats, Free Democratic Party, and Green Party to agree to an amendment to Germany’s anti-discrimination legislation which would protect pedophilia as a “sexual identity.”

Gieseking frames his campaigning as an effort to defend “children’s rights” and to protect “sexual minorities” from discrimination. The two most recent petitions submitted to the government were lodged on February 14, 2021.

On July 2, members of K13 congregated at the Cologne Pride Parade, colloquially known as Christopher Street Day (CSD), and displayed a flag representing “minor-attracted persons” pride. They also carried signs opposing the “censorship” of the organization Queer.de and advocated for a “diversity of opinions” within the LGBT community.

Un destacado transactivista ha sido acusado de delitos relacionados con el abuso económico de sus padres tras, al parecer, intentar intimidarlos para que le dieran dinero y de robarles cientos de dólares. El Departamento de Policía de Columbia fichó a Danielle Tatiana Muscato, nacido David, como “mujer”.

El 26 de septiembre, el 13º Tribunal Judicial del condado de Boone, Missouri, emitió una orden de detención contra Muscato por tres cargos: uno de robo y dos de acoso. En concreto, el tribunal determinó que Muscato constituía un riesgo inminente para la “víctima, la comunidad u otra persona” y no era probable que compareciera a una citación judicial. Muscato fue fichado ese mismo día en la cárcel del condado de Boone como “mujer”.

Según la denuncia de la fiscalía contra Muscato, éste habría abusado económicamente de sus padres en tres ocasiones distintas este año.

En mayo, Muscato tendió una emboscada a sus padres cuando su madre acudía a una cita médica. Transmitió en directo la escena en su canal de YouTube en un video que sigue colgado en su cuenta.

En el video, se ve a Muscato siguiendo a sus padres por un aparcamiento mientras toca una guitarra eléctrica. Su propio vehículo está cubierto de pegatinas que dicen “El Dr. Muscato es un maltratador”, en referencia a su padre, que es oncólogo y uno de los fundadores de Missouri Cancer Associates en Columbia. Según los informes, Muscato ha hecho camisetas, una página web y otros artículos que intentan presentar a su padre como un “pederasta” y un “maltratador doméstico”.

En enero, Muscato anunció en sus redes sociales, que iba a recaudar fondos para representar una “obra de teatro en solitario” sobre su padre titulada “El Dr. Muscato es un maltratador: una historia real de abuso infantil, corrupción policial y violencia doméstica”.

En la retransmisión en directo, la madre de Muscato se refugia en su propio vehículo, momento en el que él se interpone entre su coche y otro vehículo aparcado e intenta hablar con ella a través de la ventanilla.

Según los documentos judiciales, justo antes de esta emboscada, Muscato había exigido a su madre 10.000 dólares “en efectivo en un sobre” a través de un mensaje de texto, amenazándola con consecuencias si no accedía.

Muscato continuó con la persecución a sus padres en junio, mes en el que se registraron dos incidentes distintos.

El 6 de junio, Muscato volvió a visitar a su madre mientras ésta estaba en una cita con el dentista, y amenazó con denunciar a su padre al FBI por “pornografía infantil” que, según él, sus padres tenían en “unidades de memoria USB”. Esta afirmación la hizo en el vestíbulo de la consulta, frente a varios empleados, y dejó a sus padres “conmocionados” y con angustia emocional.

Del informe policial redactado.

En el tercer incidente, ocurrido entre el 9 y el 28 de junio, Muscato cargó más de 1.000 dólares a la cuenta de sus padres en el County Club of Missouri en concepto de comida para llevar, falseando su autorización para usar su cuenta.

Según el informe policial, los padres de Muscato habían cambiado las cerraduras de su casa por temor a que apareciera. Según los informes, su padre sufre una angustia emocional extrema cuando ve a Muscato en público, y comienza a “temblar porque está muy asustado” por lo que Muscato pueda hacerle. El padre también le dijo a la policía que cree que Muscato tiene acceso a su correo electrónico y a la aplicación de planificación de citas de la familia, ya que se las arregla para encontrarlos allá donde estén.

En junio, los padres de Muscato solicitaron una orden de protección contra él por maltrato de adultos, que les fue concedida poco después. Parece ser que Muscato intentó evadir la notificación de la orden, pero finalmente fue notificado el 25 de julio.

Mientras estaba bajo custodia policial, Muscato fue enviado a la sala de emergencias del Hospital Universitario después de quejarse de dolor de pecho.

Desde el hospital, Muscato se hizo un selfie y lo subió a las redes sociales, afirmando que había sufrido un “ataque al corazón”.

Muscato quedó en libertad al día siguiente después de pagar una fianza de 50.000 dólares con la estricta condición de no ponerse en contacto con la víctima ni presentarse en su domicilio.

Esta no es la primera vez que Muscato es acusado de comportamiento abusivo.

En noviembre de 2022, una mujer acusó a Muscato de conducta sexual inapropiada, alegando que él le había “hecho grooming” para convertirla en su pareja sexual. En una declaración pública en Facebook, Sarah An Myers, escritora de Psychology Today, declaró que se había hecho amiga de Muscato en un momento vulnerable de su vida.

“Estaba desesperada por que alguien me entendiera y acepté hacerme amiga de Danielle bajo el pretexto de orgullo pro feminista, progresista y pro LGBT”, escribió.

“Al cabo de un año y medio, Danielle comenzó a hacerme grooming para convertirme en una posible pareja sexual. Al tercer intento de contacto físico (repetidos intentos de darme un beso de despedida), aparté a esta persona de mi vida en un intento por deshacerme del asco que sentía y la traición de un amigo platónico convertido en una conquista sexual”.

Myers afirma que Danielle intentó manipularla más tarde para que le enviara fotos obscenas y persuadirla para que entablara una relación sexual con él. También dice que más tarde descubrió que Muscato había manipulado a otras mujeres jóvenes de manera similar, y también afirma que escribía “libros sobre pedofilia” bajo un seudónimo.

“Hay mucho más, pero para ser breve, señalaré que esa persona estaba usando la política liberal para jugar bajo el disfraz de ‘MUJER TRANS victimizada, traumatizada y mentalmente enferma’ y muchos de nosotros sospechamos que esto es enteramente un DISFRAZ INVENTADO Y FALSO utilizado para ganar estatus y notoriedad dadas sus apariciones en el NYT, CNN, Y MÁS”.

En respuesta a la declaración pública, que todavía está en la cuenta de Myers, un usuario dijo: “Recuerdo que contaste tus profundas preocupaciones sobre esta persona y sus motivaciones e intenciones hace 4/5 años”.

Muscato es muy conocido por su defensa de los derechos de las personas trans y Black Lives Matter, aunque su implicación en los derechos civiles ha sido constante desde la presidencia de Trump. En 2016, Muscato ganó gran notoriedad después de “una sarta de tuits” dirigidos a Donald Trump en las redes sociales.

Muscato fue muy elogiado por sus diatribas contra Trump, que fueron cubiertas por la NBC, Mashable, Huffington Post y otros medios de comunicación mayoritarios. A pesar de tener una poblada barba por aquel entonces, Muscato se identificaba como mujer y los medios de comunicación se refirieron a él en femenino.

A Muscato también se le atribuye la popularización de la campaña #RESIST, que se convirtió en un símbolo de la resistencia no sólo a la presidencia de Trump, sino también a las políticas republicanas. En una entrevista, Muscato declaró que el hashtag trataba de “detener la erosión de nuestras libertades civiles y derechos humanos antes de que ocurra, no sólo oponerse activamente, sino oponerse proactivamente“. Y agregó: “Esperar a que la intolerancia se codifique en la ley es un error, potencialmente mortal”.

Muscato también ha sido un miembro activo de la comunidad atea y, en el pasado, ha ganado una atención masiva por sus montajes en las redes sociales, como sostener carteles provocadores en público, invitando a la gente a “demostrar que Dios es real” o “convencerme de que tu religión es verdadera”. También ha hablado en conferencias organizadas por Atheists United, y estuvo involucrado en una campaña para “normalizar el ateísmo”.

En 2017, Muscato fue objeto de crítica por parte de los defensores de los derechos de las mujeres después de publicar en las redes sociales “Algunas mujeres tienen pene. Si te molesta esto, puedes chuparme la polla”. La declaración fue hecha el Día Internacional de la Mujer.

PORTUGAL: Trans-Identified Male Charged With Murder Of Father, Attempted Murder of Mother In “Psychotic” Episode

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

A trans-identified male has appeared in court on charges of the brutal murder of his father and the attempted murder of his mother. Tânia Ferrinho, 43, is accused of stabbing his father seventeen times and stabbing his bedridden mother seven times, in a horrific incident that occurred in October of 2022 in Samora Correia, Portugal.

Ferrinho’s case was heard in the Santarém Court, beginning September 13, with closing arguments presented October 4. The court heard how Ferrinho’s elderly parents, Carlos and Maria Cristina, had suffered numerous instances of violence at the hands of their son, and had already taken out a court order banning him from approaching them.

Sources of the conflict between Ferrinho and his parents were said to have centered around his sex change procedures, which they disapproved of. Ferrinho began to identify as transgender in 2020, when he legally changed his name to Tânia.

Another significant source of tension related to finances, as Ferrinho reportedly had never worked or held down a stable job and was living at home dependent on his aging parent’s resources. Ana Gomes of the Public Prosecutor’s Office told the court that the relationship was strained due to the “inertia of the defendant” in finding a job while using his parent’s income for “online shopping.”

According to the Public Prosecutor’s Office Indictment Order, the brutal assault occurred after Ferrinho was named in a new domestic violence case by his parents, who were attempting to have him expelled from their apartment.

On September 26, 2022, just weeks before the crime took place, Ferrinho posted a video to his Facebook account wherein he claimed to be a victim of stalking, and made a vague comment seeming to suggest that his parents could “accuse me of prostitution as a way of keeping the house.”

On the day of the crime, October 10, Ferrinho is said to have engaged in an argument with his parents related to money. He demanded an allowance, which his parents refused to provide. Shortly after, the National Republican Guard (GNR) visited the family’s home to inform Ferrinho that another case was being filed against him for abuse at the Benavente Court. Ferrinho was already on probation for a 2021 double conviction of aggravated physical assault against his elderly parents, reported Rede Regional.

Just after law enforcement left the premises, Ferrinho began slashing his 77 year-old father repeatedly with a knife, who fled into the apartment building’s hallway before falling to the ground. He succumbed to his injuries in December while being treated at the Vila Franca de Xira Hospital.

After stabbing his father seventeen times, Ferrinho then turned on his mother, who was bedridden and in poor health, and began assaulting her with the knife. A neighbor who had heard shouting from their apartment intervened and prevented Ferrinho from murdering his mother. The neighbor later stated that Ferrinho had initially attempted to frame his father for the assault on his mother. While she was not fatally wounded by the stabbing, she would later die of illness shortly after her husband.

In the final deliberations of the case, the Public Prosecutor’s Office attempted to rationalize the murder as being the result of “the inner conflict” presented by Ferrinho’s transgender identity. Gomes stated that there is “sensitivity to understanding the inner conflict of someone who, from a young age, does not identify with the gender they were born with.”

However, Gomes further added that “[he] did not show any remorse” for the crime, and asked for a sentence which considered the gravity of the offense.

Lawyer Maria João Alves, defending, argued that the killing occurred following a series of traumatic events, including his “gender change” and the death of his older brother, which allegedly caused him to suffer from “psychotic outbursts and sometimes interruptions of consciousness.” Alves claimed that Ferrinho was in a psychotic state when he stabbed his parents.

“I have the greatest doubts that Tânia had committed this act consciously and I am certain that [he] was never helped,” Alves said. Ferrinho was “unable to control [his] impulses” at the time of the crime, the lawyer said, and requested that the Court’s sentencing take into account his personal circumstances.

The Court will deliver a sentence on October 18.

Ferrinho’s case first became known to the wider public after media reported that female prison guards had refused to conduct strip searches on him during his detention in a women’s prison. Despite retaining a male sexual organ, Ferrinho demanded to be searched by women guards at the Tires Prison Establishment.

The women employed at the prison refused, because “the procedure involved biologically seeing a person of a different sex and seeing a penis,” said the president of the Association of Heads of the Guard Corps Prison, Hermínio Barradas.

After an hour, two female guards ultimately conducted the search “under protest.”

Portugal passed a law allowing sex self-identification in 2018, but Ferrinho’s case is said to be the first known instance of a clash between female prison staff and a violent trans-identified male inmate. Reports of the incident note that the guards “fear the arrival of new transgender inmates.”

Ana Aresta, president of ILGA (Intervenção Lesbica, Gay, Bissexual, Trans e Intersexo) told the media at the time that the sex self-identification legislation was correctly implemented by prison staff. “People don’t have to pass through any kind of process of surgical affirmation to be considered men or women,” she said.

However, Barradas disagreed, and stated that the law does not require female prison guards to strip search male inmates who have not undergone genital surgery. Yet according to reports, an internal document circulated within Portugal’s prison system states that a transgender inmate must be searched “by a member of the surveillance and security service of the same gender with which the transgender person identifies” even if they retain their sexual organ.

Prominent Trans Activist, Anti-Trump Protestor Arrested After Allegedly Financially Exploiting Parents

A prominent trans activist has been charged with crimes related to financially abusing his parents after reportedly attempting to intimidate them into giving him money and stealing hundreds of dollars from them. Danielle Tatiana Muscato, born David, was booked as a “female” by the Columbia Police Department.

On September 26, a warrant was issued for Muscato’s arrest by the 13th Judicial Court in Boone County, Missouri, on three charges — one count of stealing and two counts of harassment. Notably, the court determined Muscato was an imminent risk to the “victim, community, or another person” and was not likely to appear on a summons. Muscato was booked that same day at the Boone County Jail as a “female” detainee.

According to the prosecution’s complaint against Muscato, he is alleged to have financially abused his parents on three separate occasions this year.

In May, Muscato ambushed his parents while his mother was attending a medical appointment. He live-streamed the interaction to his YouTube channel in a video which is still up on the account.

In the video, Muscato is seen following his parents through a parking lot while playing an electric guitar. His own vehicle is seen plastered with decals reading “Dr. Muscato Is Abusive,” a reference to his father, who is an Oncologist and one of the founders of the Missouri Cancer Associates in Columbia. Muscato has reportedly created t-shirts, a website, and other merchandise attempting to portray his father as a “child abuser” and “domestic abuser.”

In January on his social media, Muscato advertised he was going to raise funds to perform a “one-woman play” on his father titled “Dr. Muscato Is Abusive: A True Story of Child Abuse, Police Corruption, and Domestic Violence.”

In the livestream, Muscato’s mother retreats to her own vehicle, at which point he stands between her car and another parked vehicle and attempts to speak to her through the window.

According to court documents, just prior to this ambush, Muscato had demanded $10,000 “cash in an envelope” from his mother via text message, threatening her with consequences if she did not comply.

@daniellemuscato yup new song! it's about my ex. please excuse my shitty playing, I'm a bassist and #songwriter. I am seeking session players to record this properly in the studio though I have #dermatillomania aka obsessive compulsive skin picking disorder. so yeah sorry about my face 🙄 This #song is in Bb minor although that might change depending on who I get to sing it. I'm #disabled and a #BLM and #trans #activist. my primary source of income is my #Patreon if you want to check it out Patreon.com/daniellemuscato and you can follow me online everywhere @DanielleMuscato. I hope you like it and feel free to reach out. Oh and I'm trans and my pronouns are she/her #guitar #music #singersongwriter #oc #classicalguitar #songwriting ♬ original sound – Danielle Muscato

Muscato’s targeting of his parents continued in June, in which two separate incidents were recorded.

On June 6, Muscato again visited his mother while she was at a dentist appointment, threatening to report his father to the FBI for “child porn” he claimed his parents had on “USB drives.” This claim was made in the lobby of the office in front of multiple staff, and left his parents “shaken up” and in emotional distress.

From the redacted police report.

The third incident, occurring between June 9 and June 28, involved Muscato charging over $1,089 to his parents’ account at County Club of Missouri for take-out food by misrepresenting his authorization to use their tab.

According to the police report, Muscato’s parents had changed the locks on their house due to fear he would show up. His father reportedly suffers extreme emotional distress when seeing Muscato in public, and begins to “shake as he is very scared” of what Muscato might do to him. His father also told police that he believes Muscato has access to his email and family scheduling app, as he manages to find them no matter where they are.

In June, Muscato’s parents filed a protective order against him on the basis of adult abuse, and were granted the order shortly after. Muscato reportedly attempted to evade service for the order, but was finally served on July 25.

While in police custody, Muscato was sent to the emergency room at the University Hospital after complaining of chest pain.

From the hospital, Muscato snapped a selfie and uploaded it to social media, claiming he had experienced a “heart attack.”

Muscato was released the next day after posting a $50,000 bond with the strict condition he did not contact the victim or appear at the victim’s residence.

This is not the first time Muscato has been accused of abusive behavior.

In November of 2022, a woman accused Muscato of sexual impropriety, claiming he had “groomed” her in an effort to have her become his sexual partner. In a public statement on Facebook, Sarah An Myers, a writer for Psychology Today, stated that she had befriended Muscato during a vulnerable moment in her life.

“I was desperate for someone to understand me and I agreed to befriend Danielle under a guise of pro-feminist, progressive, LGBT pride,” she wrote.

“After 1.5 years, Danielle began grooming me as a potential sexual partner. When the third attempt of physical contact was breached (repeated attempts to kiss me goodbye), I cut this person out of my life attempting to rid of the disgust I felt and betrayal of a platonic friend turned into a sexual conquest.”

Myers claims Danielle later attempted to manipulate her into sending him lewd photos and persuade her into entering a sexual relationship with him. She also says that she later discovered other young women had been similarly manipulated by Muscato, who she also claims was writing “books on pedophilia” under a pseudonym.

“There’s so much more but to keep this short, I will point out that this person was using liberal politics to play under the guise of the ‘victimized, traumatized, mentally ill TRANS WOMAN’ and many of us suspect this is entirely a MADE UP AND FALSE GUISE used to gain status and notoriety given their appearances on NYT, CNN, AND MORE.”

In response to the public statement, which is still up on Myers’ account, one user said: “I remember you telling about your deep concerns about this person and their motivations and intentions 4/5yrs ago.”

Muscato is well-known for his advocacy on trans rights and Black Lives Matter, though his involvement in civil rights has been ongoing since the Trump presidency. In 2016, Muscato gained widespread notoriety after “clapping back” at Donald Trump on social media.

Muscato was highly praised for his rants against Trump, which were covered by NBC, Mashable, Huffington Post, and other mainstream news outlets. Despite having a full beard at the time, Muscato identified as a woman and was referred to in the feminine by media.

Muscato is also credited with popularizing the #RESIST campaign, which became a symbol of resistance to Trump’s presidency, but also Republican policies. In an interview, Muscato stated that the hashtag was “about stopping the erosion of our civil liberties and human rights before it happens—not just actively oppose, but proactively oppose.” He added: “Waiting until bigotry is codified into law is a mistake, potentially a deadly one.”

Muscato has also been an active member of the atheist community, and, in the past, has gained massive attention for social media stunts including holding inflammatory billboards in public, inviting individuals to “prove God is real” or “convince me your religion is true.” He has also spoken at conferences held by Atheists United, and was involved in a campaign to “normalize atheism.”

In 2017, Muscato came under fire from women’s rights advocates after posting to social media “some women have penises, if you’re bothered by this you can suck my dick.” The statement was made on International Women’s Day.

NORUEGA: Un hombre que se dice trans, ex médico de género de WPATH, nominado para el Premio de las Niñas

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

Un médico que se dice trans, al que hace poco se le retiró la licencia médica por negligencia, ha sido nominado para un premio noruego destinado a honrar a aquellos que han contribuido a mejorar las vidas de las niñas. Esben Esther Pirelli Benestad fue recientemente objeto de escrutinio profesional tras el suicidio de uno de sus pacientes, menor de edad, y ha declarado previamente que “todos hemos sido pedosexuales, alguna vez”.

Benestad fue incluido entre los nominados para el Jenteprisen, o Premio de las Niñas, por Plan Internacional Noruega. Plan International pretende promover los derechos internacionales de los menores y la igualdad de las niñas.

“Cada año, Plan Internacional Noruega otorga el Jenteprisen a una persona o actor que ha realizado un esfuerzo importante en favor de los derechos de las niñas y las condiciones de igualdad, en Noruega o fuera”, dice la descripción del concurso.

“El ganador es elegido por un jurado independiente y se concede el 11 de octubre, Día Internacional de la Niña de la ONU. Este año es el duodécimo año consecutivo que otorgamos el Jenteprisen“.

Según los estatutos y criterios de nominación de Plan, “El Jenteprisen se otorga a una persona o actor en Noruega que ha hecho un esfuerzo importante a favor de los derechos y la igualdad de condiciones de las niñas, o que ha hecho un esfuerzo adicional para poner fin a la violencia, el abuso y la discriminación contra las niñas, ya sea en Noruega o fuera. Pueden ser nominadas personas de todos los géneros”.

Plan International nominó a 75 candidatos este año, la gran mayoría de los cuales son activistas por los derechos de las mujeres u organizaciones que prestan servicios a mujeres y niñas.

Entre los nominados se encuentran un centro de salud para mujeres, la ONG Save the Children y la Fundación Dina, que presta ayuda a niñas que han sufrido abusos sexuales en la República Democrática del Congo.

Sin embargo, a pesar de referirse a sí mismo como “intrépido defensor de la protección infantil” centrado en “las niñas y la salvaguardia de sus derechos”, Plan International ha causado controversia por incluir a Benestad.

Esben ‘Esther Pirelli’ Benestad, que fue médico de género registrado y asociado con la Asociación Mundial de Profesionales para la Salud Transgénero (WPATH), figura extrañamente en la lista de posibles galardonados con el Premio de las Niñas, a pesar de que a principios de año se le retiró la licencia médica tras múltiples investigaciones de la Autoridad Sanitaria Noruega.

Debido a que ha sido investigado en repetidas ocasiones por administrar en privado fármacos y hormonas bloqueadoras de la pubertad a menores, algunos noruegos expresaron su decepción por su nominación para el premio y posteriormente se vieron sometidos a una humillación pública por parte de Plan International Norway.

En una publicación hecha en su cuenta de Instagram el 22 de septiembre, Plan International Noruega recopiló una serie de comentarios críticos de las redes sociales y los publicó en una presentación de diapositivas para condenar a quienes habían expresado su preocupación.

“Oh, Dios mío, os habéis convertido en un grupo de derechos humanos ridículo. Una buena razón por la que mucha gente que conozco y yo mismo hemos dejado de apoyaros económicamente”, dijo una persona.

“No sabía que las directrices éticas de Plan International eran castrar a menores y dejarlos permanentemente enfermos. ¿Quizá sean los lobotomizadores de mujeres los siguientes en la lista de nominados?”, dijo otro.

“¿Qué tal anunciar a Andrew Tate como ganador el año que viene? He oído que ha contribuido mucho a la inserción laboral de las mujeres”, decía otro comentario.

En las redes sociales, algunos de los señalados por Plan International Noruega intentaron defenderse, afirmando que se sentían “avergonzados públicamente”.

Los comentarios en la publicación de Instagram fueron igualmente críticos, y muchos señalaron que la ex profesora de estudios religiosos de la Universidad de Stavanger, Anne Kalvig, debería haber sido la nominada, en lugar de Benestad.

Kalvig es la vicepresidenta de WDI Noruega, una organización de defensa de los derechos de las mujeres que se centra en el impacto que la ideología de género tiene en las mujeres y las niñas. Recientemente dimitió de su puesto como profesora en señal de protesta por lo que ha calificado de “campaña de desprestigio” que se está llevando a cabo contra ella por sus opiniones.

“Habéis nominado para el Jenteprisen a un médico varón aislado que ha recetado hormonas a menores, pero habéis ignorado la candidatura de la defensora de las mujeres Anne Kalvig, que es una de las pocas mujeres valientes que se atreve a hablar críticamente en contra de la nueva visión del género, en la que éste se reduce a una emoción”, respondió una mujer. Otros comentaristas preocupados acusaron a Plan de “censurar” sus aportaciones al nominar a Kalvig para el premio.

En declaraciones a Reduxx, Kalvig dijo que no creía en la ideología de género, que calificó de dañina.

“El sistema de creencias de que el sexo es una esencia del alma, difundido en Noruega sobre todo por Benestad, es perjudicial para la protección de los menores y se opone directamente a los derechos de las niñas y las mujeres. Nominar a la cabeza visible de esta práctica cultural dañina muestra que Plan no sabe lo que es una mujer ni un hombre, o lo que significa la discriminación sexual, un deterioro del conocimiento que comparten con muchas ONGs”.

En respuesta a los comentarios de apoyo a su nominación, Kalvig dijo a Reduxx que apreciaba el detalle, pero que no habría aceptado de haber sido seleccionada.

“Agradezco el deseo de los nominadores de incluirme, y lo que percibo como su deseo de conseguir centrar la atención en cómo la autoidentificación de sexo daña a mujeres y criaturas. Sin embargo, no habría aceptado el premio, en el improbable caso de que hubiera ganado, debido a cómo [Plan] trató a Kari Jaquesson como nominada en 2019”.

Jaquesson, una instructora de fitness, fue retirada de la nominación después de que un hombre que se dice trans que también había sido preseleccionado planteara quejas sobre sus críticas pasadas hacia él.

Christine Marie Jentoft, quien se refiere a sí mismo como “lesbiana”, había sido criticado por Jaquesson por su conducta, concretamente por invitar a menores a abrazarlo y llamarlo “madre”.

En un principio, Jentoft retiró su propia candidatura en protesta por las críticas que había recibido de Jaquesson, pero fue Jaquesson la que fue más tarde eliminada de la opción a ganar el premio. La secretaria general de Plan International Norway, Kari Helene Partapuoli, contó a VG que las opiniones de Jacquesson “contradicen la base de valores de Plan”.

Benestad, el hombre que se dice trans nominado este año, ha sido recientemente objeto de polémica en Noruega a raíz de una investigación realizada por la Autoridad Sanitaria de Noruega (NHA) que finalmente resultó en la suspensión de su licencia médica.

En enero, la NHA emitió un informe de 42 páginas (artículo en español) en el que se detallaban los motivos de su decisión de revocar la licencia de Benestad para ejercer como médico. Las autoridades sanitarias declararon que Benestad fue declarado “no apto para ejercer de manera responsable debido a una falta sustancial de perspectiva profesional, actividad irresponsable e incumplimientos sustanciales del deber”.

Aunque el informe reconoce que Benestad ha contado con el apoyo y los elogios de algunos de sus clientes, los inspectores señalaron varios casos concretos de los que tuvieron conocimiento a través de quejas presentadas por miembros de la familia o personas anónimas.

De particular preocupación para las autoridades de salud fue la tendencia de Benestad a desatender tanto las opiniones de sus colegas como los protocolos recomendados a nivel nacional. “Consideramos que usted no coopera suficientemente con el resto del personal sanitario”, afirmaban las autoridades en su informe.

“La Inspección Nacional de Salud también ha evaluado que usted no sigue las directrices nacionales de la Autoridad Sanitaria de Noruega en su tratamiento de pacientes con incongruencia de género. Consideramos preocupante que lo justifique diciendo que nadie más tiene suficiente experiencia o recursos para proporcionar este tratamiento, o que defienden un método de tratamiento con el que usted no está de acuerdo”.

Benestad había estado administrando fármacos para detener la pubertad a adolescentes en circunstancias cuestionables.

Las edades de los pacientes se eliminaron para proteger sus identidades y, por lo tanto, no está claro qué edad tenían los menores en el momento en que se inició la intervención médica. Sin embargo, en el pasado, Benestad ha indicado que había recetado fármacos para detener la pubertad a un niño que comenzó a tratar a los nueve años, incidente que provocó la primera investigación de su consulta por parte de las autoridades sanitarias.

La NHA ya había sido investigado en dos ocasiones (artículo en español) al ex médico de cabecera por ignorar las políticas recomendadas de prácticas seguras en su tratamiento médico de menores. En 2021 se reveló que había administrado en privado fármacos y hormonas bloqueadoras de la pubertad a un adolescente que acabó suicidándose.

Benestad ha calculado recientemente que el número de pacientes que ha atendido en sus 37 años de carrera oscila entre 1.800 y 2.000. Antes de administrar fármacos bloqueadores de la pubertad a menores de 18 años, Benestad trataba a pederastas, a los que se ha referido como “pedosexuales”, e insistía en que la pedofilia era un rasgo humano común.

“Todos hemos sido pedosexuales alguna vez”, dijo Benestad a VG en 1997, y citó las “nociones tabú imperantes” en torno a la pedofilia como causa de los abusos sexuales a menores.
