The Biden administration honored a male trans activist with an International Women Of Courage Award today at a White House ceremony intended to mark International Women’s Day.
While 11 of the awards were presented today, most to prominent women’s rights advocates from around the globe, one of them was bestowed upon Alba Rueda, a trans-identified male “LGBTQIA+” activist.
Rueda is the current Argentinian Special Envoy on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, and was the first trans-identified politician in Argentina. He was also previously Argentina’s first undersecretary of diversity policies in the Women, Gender and Diversity Ministry.
Rueda is noted for his career-long campaign to push for gender self-identification laws. He was one of the architects of the Gender Identity Act 2012, which allowed Argentinians to self-identify as the opposite sex on official documents. The law was the first of its kind globally and paved the way for many more countries to follow suit.
In Argentina, people are not limited to “male” or “female” identification, and can even request “non-binary” status on their legal documentation.
Since the law passed, data shows that women who changed their gender to either male or non-binary were “comparatively younger” than men who legally changed their gender to female. 62% of people who have changed their gender legally in Argentina were male, with 35% being female.
Rueda was also the face of a successful campaign to pass a bill designating 1% of public sector jobs to people who identify as transgender, transvestite, or transsexual.
In 2021, Rueda gave an address on “Women Leaders as Advocates for Equality and Inclusion of LGBTI Persons,” where he called for a “trans-feminist movement” which opposes “cis-sexism” and “trans-misogyny.”
Rueda advocates for “LGBTQ+” inclusion in sports and for people to be legally recognized on the basis of their “gender identity” rather than their sex. Although his “trans-feminist” movement primarily focuses on the interests of trans-identified males, Rueda did mention reproductive rights for all “pregnant persons” which would recognize the rights and autonomy of “women, lesbians, trans men and non-binary persons.”
This is not the first time Rueda has received a women’s recognition. In 2021, he was featured on the BBC’s “Top 100 Women” list.
Using feminine pronouns to refer to him, BBC praised Rueda for suing a Catholic archbishop who had declined to change his church records to match his self-identified gender identity.
Rueda’s International Women of Courage award was presented at the White House today by First Lady Jill Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken to mark International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, which lasts the month of March.
But the United States was not the only country to have politicians lauding biological males today. British Member of Parliament Jeremy Corbyn took to Twitter to recognize “Sylvia Rivera & Marsha P. Johnson” in honor of International Women’s Day, writing: “Solidarity with those working together to protect the rights of all women.” Both Rivera and Johnson were self-identified gay male drag queens.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau similarly took the opportunity to tweet in support of trans-identified males, writing: “… I want to be very clear about one more thing: trans women are women.”
And with a disturbing rise in anti-transgender hate here in Canada and around the world recently, I want to be very clear about one more thing: Trans women are women. We will always stand up to this hate – whenever and wherever it occurs.
Women from both Canada and abroad took to the replies to slam Trudeau for his comments, with his post quickly racking up more negative replies than ‘likes.’
“You may believe that men magically transform into women simply by self-declaration of a woman soul, but the rest of us live in the real world where women are female and humans cannot change sex. How dare you insult [Canadian] women in such a disgraceful way on International Women’s Day,” journalist Mia Ashton wrote in response.
“You don’t empower women by removing their safeguards and protections. You don’t empower women by letting men define them, speak for them or pretend to be them. What happened to you?” another user asked.
Some prominent Canadian public figures also took aim at Trudeau for his comments. People’s Party leader Maxime Bernier wrote: “It’s not ‘anti-transgender hate’ @JustinTrudeau. Stop labeling everything you disagree with as hate.”
It’s not “anti-transgender hate” @JustinTrudeau. Stop labeling everything you disagree with as hate.
It’s just that “trans women” are actually NOT women. They’re men who cross-dress and mutilate their bodies to look more like women. But that doesn’t change biological reality.… https://t.co/oJaNS8IYxQ
Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson similarly took issue with Trudeau’s comments, posting a photo of a young woman who had undergone an elective double mastectomy and commenting: “This is on you, @JustinTrudeau, and millions will never forget it. The day of reckoning is approaching.”
Peterson included a link to a BBC article in his tweet reporting on the disgraced Tavistock youth gender clinic.

A 39-year-old man from Massachusetts has pleaded guilty to possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) this week at Winchendon District Court.
AJ Robinson was first investigated in 2021 after sending four pieces of media which depicted child sexual abuse to an undercover agent through instant messaging app Kik the previous year. The app is notorious for its use amongst pedophiles as it allows users to ‘Match and Chat’ and ‘Flirt’ with girls and boys from chosen age groups.
Two FBI agents and a local police sergeant appeared at his home and conducted an interview with Robinson, at which time Robinson had denied sending the abuse material. Robinson initially allowed the police sergeant to watch him scroll through his phone in an effort to “prove” he had no illegal materials, but the officer caught a glimpse of a photo which appeared to depict a child.
A search warrant was obtained, and a forensic investigation of Robinson’s devices revealed his phone contained thousands of pictures and videos depicting the sexual abuse of children. The account of the person who sent the images to the undercover agent was later confirmed as being Robinson’s through the IP address and other identifying factors after an investigation that concluded in March of 2022.
Robinson was ultimately given an arraignment date of July 8. But when he failed to appear, a warrant was issued on one count of the possession of child pornography.
Just days before his July 2022 arraignment, Robinson “came out” as a transgender woman through social media, and took the name “Audrey.” The announcement came after a few months of Robinson posting videos in which he was wearing drag and reading children’s books on TikTok.
In a video posted July 4, 2022, Robinson said: “I’ve always known I was Female on the inside! I’ve lived most of my life as a Feminine Gay. I’m Transgender! My pronouns are She, Her Hers and I’m excited to continue this journey…”
Robinson still remains active on multiple social media platforms, including TikTok, where he continues to post about his “journey” as a “trans woman” and his cats. He has been using the hashtag “AJourneyCalledAudrey” on several of his videos.
Just last week, Robinson uploaded a TikTok video claiming that he will be going through with breast implant surgery. Sitting in his car after his consultation, Robinson said he was “totally getting implants,” but first needs “the referral from the counselor that basically says that [his] gender identity and all of those things [are] aligned with what the insurance requires to be fully approved….”
He told the camera, “I just feel kind of like, this interesting, like, feeling of, one step closer… there’s gonna be some twins right here,” pointing to his chest.
Prior to identifying as a “woman,” Robinson was known in his community as a gay male hairdresser.
Robinson [L] with his husband, Selectman Ken Robinson [R].
Robinson is a former member of the Narragansett Regional School Committee, serving from 2014 to 2017, and runs a hairdressing business next to an elementary school.
Robinson’s salon, which was located in Templeton, Massachusetts, was formerly known “Serendipity Salon” but has since changed its name to “Phoenix.” His husband is an attorney who formerly served on their town’s Board of Selectmen.
Photos of the business prior to its rapid rebranding show Robinson had posted signs encouraging members of the community to vote for his husband.

The Narragansett Regional School District has a reputation of employing sexually predatory men. In 2019, math teacher Warren Anderson was sentenced to 45 months in federal prison for possessing child sexual abuse material. In 2016, history teacher Matt Kacavich was arrested and charged for texting nude photos to a student. Kacavich was later discovered to have had a “relationship” with a former student. When the girl tried to exit the situation, Kacavich “threatened to go to her new boyfriend’s house, said he was traveling to Ohio to get a gun and Canada to get arsenic, and then lied about having cancer for sympathy.” The school held a fundraiser for him based on his cancer lie.
Aidan Kearney, a reporter for TB Daily News Aidan Kearney reflected that apparently the Narragansett school district “learned nothing” from those instances and “continues to allow sexual predators around children,” referencing Robinson.
Kearney revealed that Robinson’s salon is directly across from the town’s elementary school and noted that during his time as a Narragansett School Committee member he “used his position” to access the regional high school’s theater program to “help out.”
A Facebook post from 2022 shows that Robinson was seeking out photographers to “take pics for a beautiful trans child,” although it’s unclear whose child Robinson was referring to or what the photos were for.
Kearney reported that when Robinson’s charges first became public, he “disappeared from social media.” However, upon reactivating his social media accounts, Robinson directed threats and aggression towards those who were repulsed by his possession of child sexual abuse material. He slandered a former female employee of his salon and dared others to denounce him after learning of the charge.
He also accused local enforcement of being “homophobic” and “transphobic” and asserted: “I am innocent and will not let corrupt local enforcement ruin the Magical life I’ve created! Fuck them…”
Robinson has even lodged false accusations against Kearney, baselessly claiming that Kearney has been convicted of raping a minor.
Robinson’s Facebook page, using the name “Audrey Snow,” is still active and promoting his non-profit cat rescue project.
Despite his vocal public assertions that he was innocent, Robinson entered a guilty plea under his birth name on March 7. Despite still legally being a male, local media referred to Robinson with “she/her” pronouns, with some not even noting that he was transgender.
At court this week, the sexual predator told the judge that he “did not dispute the state’s facts” and waived his right to a jury trial. Robinson also admitted that his actions were “stupid and naive” according to his attorney Kristen Patria.
In an attempt to help her client in court this week, Patria argued that because Robinson was not involved in the production of the images, he should not be required register as a sexually dangerous offender. The judge rejected the defense’s attempt to dodge the registration, and cited the serious nature of the videos investigators found on Robinson’s cell phone as well as the fact he had distributed them.
Robinson appears to have been handed no jail time, but has been ordered to register as sexually dangerous person (SDP), attend sex counseling, and have no unsupervised contact with children under 16. He will not be monitored, and will be allowed to travel outside of the state of Massachusetts.

A “furry” has been indicted on charges of forced labor trafficking in relation to allegations he enslaved a woman and forced her to make fetish pornography which from which he personally profited.
Austin Taylor Koeckeritz, 29, is being held on a $300,000 bond while awaiting trial on the federal charges. The US Department of Justice unsealed the indictment on January 19, revealing that Koeckeritz had trafficked an adult woman for nearly two years.
Koeckeritz’s inmate details as offered by the Dane County Sheriff’s Department.
Koeckertiz, who was initially arrested in August of 2022, is currently being housed in the Dane County Jail, and will be tried on charges of human trafficking, third degree sexual assault and domestic abuse in federal court.
According to documents submitted by the Federal Defender Service on behalf of Koeckertiz in February, the charges against Koeckertiz were first brought after he was accused of human trafficking by an alleged victim. The victim had managed to alert her friend and her sister to her situation, stating that she was being held captive by Koeckertiz, and the two then went to police.
Koeckertiz and the victim are said to have initially been business partners, with the two launching an entity called The Boring Company, taking the same name as the entity owned by Twitter CEO Elon Musk, of whom Koeckeritz was reportedly a fan. But while Musk’s company focuses on novel inventions and infrastructure, Koeckertiz’s was centered around furry porn.
Furries are a community of individuals who enjoy fantasy materials featuring anthropomorphic animal characters. Some enthusiasts will spend thousands of dollars creating customized “suits” to take on the appearance of their favorite animal character, and many incorporate the characters into sexual or pornographic acts.
Screencaptures taken from Koeckeritz’s TikTok.
Koeckeritz’s victim was made to dress in a furry suit resembling a black and white-furred wolf while making erotic content, while Koeckeritz had his own costume taking on the appearance of a black wolf.
Koeckertiz’s Boring Company would function as a pimp-like entity which would have the victim make sexually explicit content for OnlyFans and other erotic subscription websites and then take a portion of the profits. But the victim told investigators she quickly lost her freedom, and was imprisoned in a room and forced to make videos daily. Koeckeritz would begin taking the entirety of her earnings, and refused to allow the victim contact with her family or friends.
The victim was pressured to make a minimum of $1,000 per day performing in the sex trade, and was coerced to make erotic content even when she was ill. According to court documents, the victim was only allowed “time off” if she recruited other young women to work for Koeckeritz from the local college. The victim was also told she could end her “work” early if she orally copulated Koeckeritz. She alleged that Koeckeritz used both violent and emotionally manipulative means of controlling her.
Before the first police interview, the victim said Koeckeritz had poured hot cooking grease on her. In another terrifying incident she recounted to police, Koeckeritz chased her around the house with an AR-15.
In addition to his federal charges centered around his alleged trafficking of the victim, Koeckeritz initially faced state charges as well. Those were dropped after a Pierce County Court determined the federal charges should take priority. But the state charges had included allegations that Koeckeritz had exposed a minor to sexually explicit content, with text messages reportedly showing that he had been encouraging a 15-year-old female relative to enter the “furry” sex trade.
Screencaptures taken from Koeckeritz’s TikTok.
As part of his business ventures, Koeckeritz operated social media accounts targeted towards the furry community — all of which are still live, but have been inactive since August of 2022 when he was arrested.
On TikTok, Koeckeritz’s furry-centered channel boasted a following of 160,000, and featured videos of Koeckeritz and a female who appears to be his victim. The TikTok handle is not being shared by Reduxx out of concern for the victim’s privacy.
Most of the videos featured lighthearted themes such as jokes and dancing. In the videos where the female furry appeared, she is usually seen wearing her mask, but normal clothing. Most of the outfits she appears in are revealing, prominently showing off her lean form.
On Koeckeritz’s Instagram, which had 13,000 followers, he reposted much of his content from TikTok as well as furry-related memes and photos. Some were distinctly erotic, and feature a theme of two male furry characters engaged in sexual activity.
Reduxx has censored the name of Koeckeritz’s social media account in order to protect the victim.
While Koeckertiz is said to have had sexual involvement with women, poetry found by Reduxx written by him in 2019 suggests he had a number of male love interests he professed affection for and was homosexually oriented.
In one poem, titled “To Younger Me,” Koeckeritz laments over three men he had romantic interest in as a teen. In another, titled “He’s My Best Friend,” Koeckeritz identifies himself as gay in a poem about a male friend he identified an interest in.
“People use gay like a bad thing. Like loving someone is an insult,” he writes. “He is my best friend. He made me feel like tigers and stripes lived in the forest instead of my skin. I’ll never forget when you kissed my palm and said you’d always be here.”
His author profile on Letterpile states: “Austin Koeckeritz is always up for a challenge, especially when it means helping others,” before launching into a paragraph on life advice.
“All things are but a temporary state of being. Everything passes. Happiness. Suffering. Everything, the good and the bad altogether, is temporary. Nothing lasts indefinitely, not even this.”
Images posted by Koeckeritz on his Instagram.
Speaking to Reduxx on the case, licensed professional counsellor Jon K. Uhler offered his insight into Koeckeritz’s behavior, expressing a particular concern with respect to the accused’s alleged underage victim.
Uhler has been researching and working with paraphilias for 14 years, an interest which started when he was working with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. Uhler, who is currently running multiple sex offender treatment groups, has become a noted critic of the furry subculture, describing it as a gateway for more nefarious sexual predators to gain access to victims.
“I first learned about furries from pedophiles in sex offender treatment groups. One [pedophile] in particular who was a very heinous pedophile … shared with me that it was one of their favorite methods for gaining direct access to kids because they can hide their identity.”
Uhler says that, in his experience, furries are often individuals who participate in other harmful sexual behaviors. He states that he has observed that social media profiles belonging to furries often have the same “red flag indicators” as those belonging to child sexual abusers.
“By the time a guy is playing dress-up, it is highly likely – if not inevitable – that he is into much more deviant stuff online,” Uhler says. “It is very safe to assume that some man who is dressing up as a furry is into more deviant stuff.”
Uhler believes that men and women can drawn to the furry subculture for different reasons.
“I think for women it is social. Companionship. It is a social activity. For men, I feel it is an opportunity to be deviant,” Uhler says. “I have had ex-furries reach out to me and tell me about how sex-saturated it is.”
Though members of the furry community often claim there is no sexual component to their activity, Uhler rejects the claim and references evidence he has seen to the contrary throughout his professional career.
According to a 2019 entry in the Journal of Sexual Behavior, a large majority of surveyed furries reported non-heterosexual identities (84%), and virtually all of them claimed to have some degree of sexual motivation for participating in the furry subculture (99%).
“Given the high degree of deviance, both self-described and revealed whether in picture or by people who have exited, in the furry fan culture… it is simply not safe for to allow minors to be apart of [the furry subculture].”
Koeckertiz is not the first furry to be accused of a violent sexual crime since the start of the year.
On January 2, Reduxx reported on the case of Aaron Zeman, also known as Tadashi Kura Kojima, who was apprehended in Grand Island, Nebraska after kidnapping a 13-year-old boy. The boy had been the subject of an AMBER alert, and was spotted in Zeman’s car by a gas station attendant almost 800 miles from the victim’s home.
On social media, Zeman used the name Hunter Horny Fox, and describes himself as a “Gay/Demi Furry Fox.” He appeared in his profile photo wearing a “leather pup” mask, and often made highly sexual remarks about his teen victim on his account.

Feminist journalist Dora Moutot [L] and trans-identified male politician Marie Cau [R]
A prominent advocate for women’s rights in France is being taken to criminal court over accusations of “misgendering” two transgender public figures. Dora Moutot, a best-selling author and social media influencer, is facing a legal complaint alleging insults on the basis of gender identity, and public incitement to hatred or violence towards a group of people on the basis of their gender identity.
Two LGBT associations, Mousse andSOS Homophobie are backing a complaint lodged against Moutot on February 15 on behalf of the mayor of Tilloy-lez-Marchiennes, a trans-identified male named Marie Cau, and Hanneli Escurier, a female journalist who identifies as a man.
One incident cited in the suit involves comments Moutot made last October during an episode of the popular talk show Quelle Époque!
Journalist Léa Salamé asked Moutot whether she regarded the mayor as a woman, to which Moutot replied, “To me, Marie Cau is a man.” A statement released by Mousse accused Moutot of “violently attacking” Cau by calling him both a man, and a “transfeminine man.”
Cau, whose given name is Nicolas, became well known in France after he was elected to political office in 2020 and was celebrated in media reports as the first transgender mayor in the nation. After he won the election in the small town of Tilloy-lez-Marchiennes, which has a population of approximately 500, Cau expressed an ambition to run for President.
Last year, Cau published an autobiography titled Madame Mayor (Madame le Maire) wherein he described his urge to wear women’s clothing, an activity which he says brings about the “height of happiness” for him.
“Once I was alone in the house, I put on my girl’s clothes. A feeling of happiness, of liberation. Dressed like this, I can talk about myself in feminine terms and I can breathe,” Cau wrote. “Finally. I am myself. Shortly after puberty, I would also wear make-up… It became a bit like a drug, an addiction, because it feels so good that I would try to find that pleasure again.”
In his autobiography, Cau also detailed his divorce from his wife, and railed against the justice system, which granted custody of their children to his former wife.
“The woman is always the victim, while the man is always the executioner, often accused of violence or alcoholism,” he wrote. The judge presiding over their divorce proceedings ordered him to leave the home and granted him limited visitation rights – a situation that Cau says “is one that the courts traditionally reserve for a failing or even violent father.”
In addition to “misgendering” Cau, Moutot has also been accused of “transphobia” for an Instagram post she made on August 25, 2022, where she referred to Hanneli Escurier as a “trans-identified woman.” Escurier, who uses the name Hali Bottom online, is female but identifies as a man and works as a journalist for France’s leading LGBT publication, Têtu. The magazine was advertised as being for “gays and lesbians” until 2007, when it rebranded as being targeted at gay men exclusively.
Speaking to Reduxx, Moutot stated that Escurier had encouraged violence against women who are labelled “TERFs,” as well as threatened to physically harm Moutot herself at a drag event in 2020 that was held at a club in Paris called La Mutinerie. TERF is an acronym which stands for “trans exclusionary radical feminist” and is frequently used as a slur to denounce the target or to invite harassment against individuals who question gender identity politics.
Moutot was unaware of the threats against her until 2022 when Escurier posted a video of her 2020 performance on Instagram. In the clip, Escurier is dressed like a boxer and can be seen holding up a sign which reads, “Dora Moutot and the other TERFs.” She then says, “Ça va saigner ce soir,” which roughly translates to, “There will be blood tonight.”
« Hali_Bottom » femelle transidentifiée qui bosse chez @TETUmag appelle à « fracasser les terfs » dans une story aujourd’hui et monte sur scène à @La_Mutinerie pour faire une imitation de ring où elle souhaite « me saigner ». @La_Mutinerie@TETUmag vous soutenez ça donc ? pic.twitter.com/7gvJj3BZz2
Moutot shared the video to her social media to highlight the abuse she was receiving, and referred to Escurier as a “trans-identified female.” One of the lawyers involved in the criminal complaint against Moutot, Etienne Deshoulières, said that calling Escurier a woman was a “discriminatory insult” on the basis that it “reminds [her] of the rejection of which [she] is the object within society.”
“The struggle of transgender people is therefore first and foremost a constant struggle to exist, to be recognized as transgender people. When Dora Moutot declares that Hanneli [Escurier] is ‘a trans-identified woman’ and that Marie Cau is ‘a trans-feminine man,’ she strikes precisely where it hurts. She denies their existence as transgender people in a still largely transphobic society,” Deshoulières continued.
Moutot is fundraising for her legal fees, and has highlighted the importance of the suit against her for “misgendering” in regards to freedom of speech. “By attacking Dora Moutot, these associations which defend two trans activists are trying to show that in France, soon we will no longer have the right to describe biological reality without exposing ourselves to legal proceedings. It is an attack on freedom of expression for all French people,” her crowdfunder page states.
Previously, prominent political figures in France have publicly condemned and even mocked Moutot on social media for her statements about biological sex. Following an interview published in Le Figaro last August, Senator Mélanie Vogel of The Greens (EELV) taunted Moutot on Twitter, commenting that “transphobes are not feminists.” The publication had shared a photo of Moutot alongside a quote: “A woman is an adult human female, this is a biological reality. Only women are able to give life. This is a privilege.”
Moutot explained to Reduxx that she has been hounded relentlessly by trans activists for several years, beginning in 2019.
“I’ve been harassed for almost four years now by trans activists for saying that a woman is a human female and not a feeling,” Moutot said. “They send me insults and threats, they put my address online, and they ruined my reputation by saying that I’m transphobic, and that I am a far right accomplice.” She also emphasized that sustained attempts have been made to deprive her of financial security by trans activists who pressure her sponsors to drop her.
The incident which sparked the harassment campaign against Moutot took place in 2019 when a trans-identified male denounced Moutot’s “transphobia” after she posted information on the clitoris. Moutot’s work focuses on female anatomy and sexuality, and she had organized a campaign to raise awareness about clitoral anatomy and sexual health.
“According to this individual, advocating for greater visibility, knowledge and education around the clitoris organ, as well as all the content of my account @tasjouiwould be ‘essentializing, LGBTphobic, transphobic’ and ‘not inclusive,'” Moutot said in a blog post.
The harassment began to escalate and quickly moved from social media to the real world. In October 2021, Moutot’s second book, Mâle Baisées, was published. The text deals with various aspects of female sexuality, from the orgasm to objectification and female genital mutilation.
Trans activists have demanded that shops stop carrying Moutot’s book.
Following the publication, a trans activist attempted to have Mâle Baisées pulled from book shops and even went so far as to print warning labels condemning the content as transphobic. “To buy is to participate” in “discrimination,” read the warning, which incorporated a link to the trans activist’s social media account.
In an interview with Women’s Declaration International (WDI) last year, Moutot explained that after trans activists began deriding her as a “TERF” for discussing female anatomy, she started to question gender identity politics.
“I started as a liberal feminist like a lot of young women,” Moutot said. “I created this page called @tasjoui about female sexuality, and I kept talking about female organs. After two years, a trans activist spotted me and started teaching me how I should talk. They told me, ‘You’re not inclusive enough, and you need to talk about us, trans women.”
It was the experience of being labeled a “TERF” that led Moutot to develop her understanding of feminist criticisms of the pornography and prostitution industries. For her, the abuse has had the opposite of its intended effect and has motivated her to become more vocal in her criticism of gender identity ideology.
Recently, Moutot partnered with feminist activist Marguerite Stern, and at the beginning of the year, the pair launched a collaborative campaigning project called Femelliste, which “fights to maintain the sex-based rights of women.” Stern has had similar experiences to Moutot and became a target for trans activists for her work, which involves raising public awareness about male violence against women and girls.
“We are angry. We live in an absurd time when the answer to the question ‘What is it to be a woman?’ is no longer obvious to everyone. According to some media, academics, activists, political figures and institutions, being a woman is now a feeling and not a biological reality,” Moutot and Stern explain on the Femelliste website.
Tensions between women’s rights campaigners and trans activists have been mounting over the past few years. During a demonstration held in Paris to commemorate International Women’s Day 2021, women who oppose the sex industry were met with violent threats from trans activists who attended the protest prepared to assault them.
Many of the women were themselves survivors of the sex industry, and the two groups, the Collective to Abolish Pornography and Prostitution (CAPP) and feminist group L’Amazone, were supported by Stern, who was also present and held a sign reading “Long live the female sex!” Stern was pelted with eggs, and trans activists spray painted a death threat near where they had gathered.
Moutot shared with Reduxx more recent images of street graffiti spotted in Paris which call for the killing of “transphobes.” The messages read, “Are you a transphobe? Die.” She has also seen graffiti with her name, calling her a “danger” to society.
“A lot of women’s struggles are linked to the way we have been treated because we are females. In certain countries it’s because you are a female that you can’t do this or that. Even the pay gap is originally linked to the fact that we could get pregnant. Not recognizing this will lead us nowhere,” Moutot told Reduxx.
“I also think that we need a common sense of reality. Everyone can distinguish who is a male and who is a female just by looking at someone for a second. It’s a natural thing we all have in the brain, the capacity of distinguishing male and female,” Moutot said. “Trans activists are at war with reality, but it’s not because they don’t like it that we should all agree with them.”
Moutot tells Reduxx that if she is found guilty on the grounds of the complaint, she may face the possibility of a suspended jail sentence or fine. But she is not without support in her home country. On February 27, a collective letter was published in Marianne signed by over one dozen prominent intellectuals defending Moutot from the complaint.
Slamming the suit on the basis of freedom of expression, the signatories asserted that “trans-identity activists are trying to put into practice their mantra … ‘Transphobia is not an opinion, it is a crime.'”
The signatories included a sampling of internationally-recognized names in the fields of medicine, human rights, journalism, and more. Among them, British journalist Julie Bindel, former Charlie Hebdo writer Zineb El Rhazoui, and human rights advocate Fadila Maaroufi.
The letter challenges the readers to ask what direction France will be taking, and points out the deterioration of freedom of speech in other nations such as Canada due to gender ideology.
“In France, psychologists Caroline Eliacheff and Céline Masson, Marguerite Stern, Sophie Robert, and others have been perpetually harassed, threatened, defamed, insulted, physically abused because they denounce the excesses of transgenderism,” the letter states. “Will they soon be arrested by the police too? Do we want France to take the same path as the Anglo-Saxon world? In what kind of society do we want to live?”

La periodista feminista Dora Moutot [izq.] y el político varón trans-identificado Marie Cau [dcha.]
Una destacada defensora de los derechos de la mujer en Francia ha sido denunciada ante un tribunal penal por acusaciones de “malgenerizar” a dos figuras públicas transgénero. Dora Moutot, autora de best-sellers e influencer en las redes sociales, se enfrenta a una denuncia judicial por insultos basados en la identidad de género e incitación pública al odio o la violencia contra un grupo de personas por razón de su identidad de género.
Dos asociaciones LGBT, Mousse y SOS Homophobie, apoyan la denuncia presentada contra Moutot el 15 de febrero en nombre del alcalde de Tilloy-lez-Marchiennes, un hombre que se dice trans y que se hace llamar Marie Cau, yHanneli Escurier, una periodista que se identifica como hombre.
Uno de los incidentes citado en la demanda se refiere a unos comentarios que Moutot hizo el pasado octubre durante un episodio del popular programa de entrevistas Quelle Époque!
La periodista Léa Salamé le preguntó a Moutot si consideraba al alcalde una mujer, a lo que Moutot respondió: “Para mí, Marie Cau es un hombre”. Un comunicado hecho público por Mousse acusaba a Moutot de “atacar violentamente” a Cau al llamarle a la vez hombre y “hombre transfemenino”.
Cau, al que sus padres llamaron Nicolas, se hizo muy conocido en Francia tras ser elegido para un cargo político en 2020 y fue celebrado en los medios de comunicación como el primer alcalde transgénero del país. Después de ganar las elecciones en la pequeña ciudad de Tilloy-lez-Marchiennes, de unos 500 habitantes, Cau expresó su ambición de presentarse a la presidencia.
El año pasado, Cau publicó una autobiografía titulada Señora Alcaldesa (Madamele Maire) en la que describía su deseo irresistible de usar ropa de mujer, una actividad que, según él, le provoca el “colmo de la felicidad”.
“Una vez solo en casa, me puse mi ropa de chica. Un sentimiento de felicidad, de liberación. Vestido así, puedo hablar de mí mismo en femenino y puedo respirar”, escribió Cau. “Por fin. Soy yo mismo. Poco después de la pubertad empecé a maquillarme… Se convirtió un poco como en una droga, una adicción, porque me siento tan bien que trato de encontrar ese placer de nuevo”.
En su autobiografía, Cau también detallaba el divorcio de su esposa, y criticaba el sistema judicial, que otorgó la custodia de sus hijos a su ex mujer.
“La mujer es siempre la víctima, mientras que el hombre es siempre el verdugo, a menudo acusado de violencia o alcoholismo”, escribió. El juez que presidió su proceso de divorcio le ordenó abandonar el hogar y le concedió derechos de visita limitados, una situación “que los tribunales tradicionalmente reservan para un padre malo o incluso violento”, dijo Cau.
Además de “malgenerizar” a Cau, Moutot también ha sido acusada de “transfobia” por una publicación de Instagram que hizo el 25 de agosto de 2022, donde se refirió a Hanneli Escurier como una “mujer trans-identificada”. Escurier, que usa el nombre Hali Bottom en línea, es mujer pero se identifica como hombre y trabaja como periodista para la principal publicación LGBT de Francia, Têtu. La revista se anunciaba como dirigida a “gays y lesbianas” hasta 2007, cuando pasó a estar dirigida exclusivamente a hombres homosexuales.
En declaraciones a Reduxx, Moutot declaró que Escurier había fomentado la violencia contra las mujeres a las que califica de “TERFs”, además de haber amenazado con dañar físicamente a la propia Moutot en un evento drag celebrado en 2020 en un club en París llamado La Mutinerie. TERF es un acrónimo que significa “feminista radical trans excluyente” y se usa con frecuencia como insulto para denunciar al objetivo o para invitar al acoso contra las mujeres que cuestionan las políticas de identidad de género.
Moutot no estaba al tanto de las amenazas contra ella hasta 2022, cuando Escurier publicó en Instagram un video de su actuación en 2020. En el clip, Escurier está vestida como una boxeadora y se la puede ver sosteniendo un cartel que dice: “Dora Moutot y las otras TERFs”. Luego dice: “Ça va saigner ce soir“, que se traduce aproximadamente como “Habrá sangre esta noche”.

Moutot compartió el video en sus redes sociales para poner de manifiesto el abuso que estaba recibiendo, y se refirió a Escurier como una “mujer trans-identificada”. Uno de los abogados involucrados en la denuncia penal contra Moutot, Etienne Deshoulières, dijo que llamar mujer a Escurier era un “insulto discriminatorio” sobre la base de que “le recuerda el rechazo del que [ella] es objeto dentro de la sociedad”.
“La lucha de las personas transgénero es, por tanto, ante todo una lucha constante por existir, por ser reconocidas como personas transgénero. Cuando Dora Moutot declara que Hanneli [Escurier] es “una mujer trans-identificada” y que Marie Cau es ‘un hombre trans-femenino’, golpea exactamente donde más duele. Les niega su existencia como personas transgénero en una sociedad que sigue siendo en gran medida transfóbica”, continuó Deshoulières.
Moutot está recaudando fondos para sus gastos legales, y ha destacado la importancia de la demanda en su contra por “malgenerizar” en lo que respecta a la libertad de expresión. “Al atacar a Dora Moutot, estas asociaciones que defienden a dos activistas trans están tratando de demostrar que en Francia, pronto dejaremos de tener derecho a describir la realidad biológica sin exponernos a procesos judiciales. Es un ataque a la libertad de expresión de todos los franceses”, afirma su página de crowdfunder.
Anteriormente, destacadas personalidades políticas francesas habían condenado públicamente e incluso se habían burlado de Moutot en las redes sociales por sus declaraciones sobre el sexo biológico. Tras una entrevista publicada en Le Figaro el pasado agosto, la senadora Mélanie Vogel de Los Verdes (EELV) se mofó de Moutot en Twitter, comentando que “las tránsfobas no son feministas”. La publicación había compartido una foto de Moutot junto a una cita: “Una mujer es una hembra humana adulta, esa es una realidad biológica. Sólo las mujeres son capaces de dar vida. Es un privilegio”.
Moutot explicó a Reduxx que lleva sido acosada sin descanso por activistas trans varios años, desde 2019.
“Llevo casi cuatro años siendo acosada por activistas trans por decir que una mujer es una hembra humana y no un sentimiento”, dijo Moutot. “Me envían insultos y amenazas, han puesto mi dirección en internet y han arruinado mi reputación al decir que soy transfóbica y que soy cómplice de la extrema derecha”. También subrayó que los transactivistas siguen intentando privarla de seguridad financiera al presionar a sus patrocinadores para que dejen de trabajar con ella.
El incidente que desencadenó la campaña de acoso contra Moutot tuvo lugar en 2019 cuando un hombre que se dice trans denunció la “transfobia” de Moutot después de que ella publicara información sobre el clítoris. El trabajo de Motot se centra en la anatomía y la sexualidad femeninas, y había organizado una campaña para concienciar sobre la anatomía del clítoris y la salud sexual.
“Según este individuo, abogar por una mayor visibilidad, conocimiento y educación en torno al órgano del clítoris, así como todo el contenido de mi cuenta @tasjouisería ‘esencializante, LGBTfóbico, transfóbico’ y ‘no inclusivo'”, dijo Moutot en una publicación en su blog.
El acoso fue a más y rápidamente pasó de las redes sociales al mundo real. En octubre de 2021, se publicó el segundo libro de Moutot, Mâle Baisées. El texto aborda diversos aspectos de la sexualidad femenina, desde el orgasmo hasta la cosificación y la mutilación genital femenina.
Los activistas trans han exigido que las tiendas dejen de vender el libro de Moutot.
Después de la publicación, una activista trans intentó que Mâle Baisées fuera retirado de las librerías e incluso llegó a imprimir etiquetas de advertencia condenando el contenido como transfóbico. “Comprar es participar” en la “discriminación”, rezaba la advertencia, que incluía un enlace a la cuenta de redes sociales de la activista trans.
“Empecé como feminista liberal, como muchas mujeres jóvenes”, dijo Moutot. “Creé esta página llamada @tasjoui sobre la sexualidad femenina, y seguí hablando de órganos femeninos. Después de dos años, un activista trans me vio y comenzó a enseñarme cómo debía hablar. Elle me dijo: ‘No eres lo suficientemente inclusiva y necesitas hablar de nosotros, mujeros trans’.
Fue la experiencia de ser etiquetada como “TERF” lo que llevó a Moutot a desarrollar su comprensión de las críticas feministas a las industrias de la pornografía y la prostitución. Para ella, el acoso ha tenido el efecto contrario al deseado y la ha motivado a ser más crítica con la ideología de identidad de género.
Recientemente, Moutot se asoció con la activista feminista Marguerite Stern, y a principios de año, ambas lanzaron juntas un proyecto de campaña llamado Femelliste, que “lucha por mantener los derechos de las mujeres basados en el sexo”. Stern ha tenido experiencias similares a las de Moutot y se convirtió en objetivo de los activistas trans por su trabajo, que consiste en sensibilizar a la opinión pública sobre la violencia masculina contra mujeres y niñas.
“Estamos enfadadas. Vivimos en una época absurda en la que la respuesta a la pregunta “¿Qué es ser mujer?” ya no es obvia para todo el mundo. Según algunos medios, académicos, activistas, figuras políticas e instituciones, ser mujer es ahora un sentimiento y no una realidad biológica”, explican Moutot y Stern en la página web de Femelliste.
Las tensiones entre los defensores de los derechos de la mujer y los activistas trans han ido en aumento en los últimos años. Durante una manifestación celebrada en París para conmemorar el Día Internacional de la Mujer 2021, las mujeres que se oponían a la industria del sexo recibieron amenazas violentas de activistas trans que asistieron a la protesta dispuestos a agredirlas.
Muchas de las mujeres eran a su vez supervivientes de la industria del sexo, y los dos grupos, el Colectivo para la Abolición de la Pornografía y la Prostitución (CAPP) y el grupo feminista L’Amazone, recibieron el apoyo de Stern, que también estaba presente y sostenía un cartel que decía “¡Viva el sexo femenino!” A Stern le lanzaron huevos, y activistas trans hicieron una pintada con una amenaza de muerte cerca de donde se habían reunido.
Moutot compartió con Reduxx imágenes más recientes de pintadas callejeras vistas en París en las que se pide el asesinato de las “tránsfobas”. Los mensajes decían: “¿Eres transfóbica? Muere”. También ha visto graffiti con su nombre, llamándola un “peligro” para la sociedad.
“Muchas de las luchas de las mujeres están relacionadas con la forma en que hemos sido tratadas por ser mujeres. En ciertos países, por ser mujer no puedes hacer esto o aquello. Incluso la brecha salarial está originalmente vinculada al hecho de que podríamos quedar embarazadas. No reconocer esto no nos llevará a ninguna parte”, dijo Moutot a Reduxx.
“También creo que necesitamos un sentido común de la realidad. Todo el mundo puede distinguir quién es un hombre y quién es una mujer con sólo mirar a alguien un segundo. Es algo natural que todos tenemos en el cerebro, la capacidad de distinguir entre hombres y mujeres”, dijo Moutot. “Los activistas trans están en guerra con la realidad, pero no tenemos por qué estar todos de acuerdo con ellos porque no les guste esta realidad”.
Moutot cuenta a Reduxx que si es declarada culpable, podría enfrentarse a la posibilidad de una pena de cárcel suspendida o a una multa. Pero no le falta apoyo en su país de origen. El 27 de febrero, se publicó una carta colectiva en Marianne firmada por más de una docena de destacados intelectuales que defendían a Moutot.
Criticando la demanda sobre la base de la libertad de expresión, los firmantes afirmaban que “los activistas de la identidad trans están tratando de poner en práctica su mantra … “La transfobia no es una opinión, es un delito”.
Entre los firmantes figura una muestra de nombres reconocidos internacionalmente en los campos de la medicina, los derechos humanos y el periodismo. Entre ellos, la periodista británica Julie Bindel, el ex escritor de Charlie Hebdo Zineb El Rhazoui y la defensora de los derechos humanos Fadila Maaroufi.
La carta desafía a los lectores a preguntarse qué dirección tomará Francia, y señala el deterioro de la libertad de expresión en otros países como Canadá debido a la ideología de género.
“En Francia, las psicólogas Caroline Eliacheff y Céline Masson, Marguerite Stern, Sophie Robert y otras han sido perpetuamente acosadas, amenazadas, difamadas, insultadas, maltratadas físicamente porque denuncian los excesos del transgénero”, dice la carta. “¿La policía las va a acabar arrestando? ¿Queremos que Francia siga el mismo camino que el mundo anglosajón? ¿En qué tipo de sociedad queremos vivir?”

Un hombre de Houston que se hizo conocido en las redes sociales y en la prensa local por su “familia única” de hijos adoptivos, ha sido acusado de una serie de delitos sexuales contra menores. Hayim Nissim Cohen, de 38 años, se inventó una identidad como rabino judío jasídico enfermo crónico para ocultar sus delitos.
Cohen, de 38 años, fue acusado la semana pasada de ocho delitos, entre ellos lesiones a un menor de 15 años, agresión sexual, agresión sexual con agravantes a un menor y abusos sexuales continuados a un menor. Estos fueron los últimos cargos presentados contra Cohen, que ya se enfrenta a otros también relacionados con el abuso sexual infantil. En total, Cohen se enfrenta actualmente a 11 cargos por delitos graves.

El largo historial de abusos sexuales a menores de Cohen salió a la luz por primera vez el 1 de febrero después de que uno de sus hijos adoptivos, que ahora tiene 17 años, llamara a un podcast para pedir consejo y detallara los abusos contra él y sus hermanos que habían comenzado cuando fue adoptado, a los 11 años.
El adolescente, que dijo estar usando un teléfono desechable para su protección, contó que había planeado esperar hasta ser adulto para denunciar a su padre adoptivo. Temía las represalias de Cohen, que había sobornado y amenazado tanto a él como a sus hermanos con hacerles daño y matarlos si acudían a la policía.
También se mostró reacio a denunciar porque tenía poca fe en el sistema de protección de menores, ya que había experimentado los fallos de quienes se suponía que debían salvaguardar el proceso de adopción.
Los podcasters, preocupados por la vida del joven, le sonsacaron más detalles antes de llamar a la policía, que pudo rastrear la llamada y encontrar al adolescente. El chico negó en un principio haber admitido ningún abuso, pero más tarde sí admitió lo ocurrido tras escuchar una grabación de su propia voz.
Janna Oswald, fiscal jefa de la División de Crímenes contra Menores de la Fiscalía del Condado de Harris, proporcionó algunos detalles inquietantes sobre las experiencias de los niños al Houston Chronicle. Oswald explicó que los niños permanecían encerrados en una habitación durante la mayor parte del día, y que Cohen a veces los obligaba a realizar actos sexuales una vez que los dejaba salir. Una de las víctimas, que ahora tiene 16 años, dijo que si desobedecía, Cohen lo rociaba con gas pimienta.
Oswald también dice que Cohen usaba la religión y la popularidad en las redes sociales para ocultar la realidad de sus crímenes.
Según Times of Israel, los últimos cargos se presentaron contra Cohen cuando ya se enfrentaba a una acusación de delito grave de indecencia de 2019 no relacionado con sus hijos. Se alega que Cohen abusó sexualmente de un estudiante extranjero menor de edad que se había estado alojando en su casa.
El estudiante, de España, iba al instituto Sharpstown High School y le habían asignado a Cohen de anfitrión a pesar de que varias personas supuestamente expresaron sospechas de que era un pedófilo. La terrible experiencia del joven salió a la luz cuando ya no pudo más y se lo contó al director de su escuela.
Cohen, que se presentaba como un padre soltero criando a nueve hijos judíos ultraortodoxos, tenía mucho éxito en TikTok, donde los 200,000 seguidores de la familia han visto su contenido más de tres millones de veces.
Además de esa página de TikTok, la familia tenía un canal en YouTube y cuentas en Instagram y Facebook. La mayoría de los videos publicados en esas plataformas muestran a Cohen y sus hijos adoptivos relatando su vida cotidiana, hablando de costumbres judías y predicando amor y aceptación.
En muchas fotos en las páginas de la familia en las redes sociales, se ve a Cohen con máscara de oxígeno y en silla de ruedas, que también usa durante las comparecencias ante el tribunal. Pero sus hijos adoptivos han cuestionado la autenticidad de la supuesta mala salud de Cohen, alegando que nunca usaba esos aparatos médicos de asistencia cuando estaba en casa. Según KTRK, uno de los adolescentes habría dicho a los investigadores que “todo lo que hace (Cohen) es falso”.

Además de supuestamente inventarse sus enfermedades, se está cuestionando también el judaísmo de Cohen.
Cohen afirmó en varias entrevistas con la prensa a lo largo de los años haber crecido hablando yiddish como judío jasídico en la ciudad de Nueva York y en ocasiones afirmó ser rabino, pero los documentos legales muestran que Cohen nació como Jeffrey Lujan Vejil en Odessa, Texas.
También se han planteado dudas sobre las afirmaciones de Cohen de que sus hijos eran todos de origen judío. Las inconsistencias en la historia de Cohen fueron identificadas por primera vez por Za’akah, un grupo de protección infantil centrado en la lucha contra los abusos sexuales en la comunidad judía ortodoxa. Za’akah había estado siguiendo de cerca el caso y ha proporcionado actualizaciones en su TikTok.
La comunidad judía ortodoxa de Houston también habría detectado problemas con la actuación de Cohen, según Times of Israel, por lo que fue rechazado. Cohen fue relegado a presentarse como jasídico en eventos judíos laicos, donde menos gente captaría las discrepancias en su comportamiento.
Fake Chassisic Jew who was “adopting” kids to be put on #tiktok has been arrested for multiple counts. As a note, when someone showed me his account it was obvious wasn’t real. Among other things, wrong rebbe on the wall, payos start at wrong place, they had weird books in their… https://t.co/TEZcH40BaSpic.twitter.com/tZfHqZL04D
Falso judío jasídico que “adoptaba” niños para ponerlos en #tiktok ha sido arrestado por varios delitos. Como observación, cuando alguien me mostró su cuenta era obvio que no era real. Entre otras cosas, rebe equivocado en la pared, tirabuzones que empiezan donde no deben, libros raros en las estanterías, etc triste historia.
Cohen era un firme defensor de la adopción, e instaba a la gente, incluidos hombres solteros, a adoptar niños.
En una entrevista de 2017 con Houston Family Magazine, Cohen dijo: “Como padre, aprecio cada momento con mis chavales, y debo ser humilde y recordar que ellos aprecian cada momento conmigo. Rezo para que cada padre, ya sea soltero, casado o adoptivo, pueda darse cuenta de que es un héroe para sus hijos, en los buenos y en los malos tiempos”.
En una entrevista posterior con la prensa judía, Cohen reiteraría sus opiniones: “Soy padre soltero de nueve hijos. La gente tiene un millón de preguntas, y lo entiendo… Mi objetivo para esta plataforma en línea es doble… demostrar que cualquiera, incluso un hombre jasídico soltero, puede adoptar, y mostrar a la gente que los niños adoptivos son niños como los demás”.
En su sitio web oficial, Cohen tenía toda una sección dedicada a fomentar la adopción, e hizo varios videos en YouTube sobre la acogida. Cohen también fundó una entidad llamada Jewish Home School Network, que dijo había empezado a funcionar en abril de 2017.
“Nuestra misión es ayudar a proporcionar apoyo y comprensión desde una perspectiva judía. Nuestro objetivo es llegar a otras familias que educan en casa para crear una red”, se puede leer en el sitio web de Cohen. “Estamos abiertos a todos los niveles de observancia. ¡No dudes en ponerte en contacto con nosotros si tienes preguntas o sugerencias!”
Las horribles acusaciones contra Cohen se producen apenas unas semanas después de que saliera a la luz pública otro espeluznante incidente de abusos por parte de padres adoptivos.
En enero, el Daily Wire dio nuevos detalles acerca del caso de 2022 de William y Zachary Zulock, una pareja gay en Georgia que había adoptado dos hijos de una agencia cristiana de niños con necesidades especiales. Al igual que Cohen, los Zulock tenían una presencia significativa en las redes sociales donde hacían publicidad de su singular familia.
Los Zulocks eran vistos con frecuencia en eventos del orgullo, e incluso se hicieron camisetas con el arco iris personalizadas para ellos y sus hijos adoptivos con las que posaban en Instagram.

A popular TikTok comedian has reported her car was vandalized following a series of videos she did criticizing non-binary activist Jeffery Marsh for allegedly inviting minors to communicate with him privately.
Shumirun Nessa, also known as @therealoverloadcomedy on TikTok, became the target of trans activist aggression after posting a series of videos responding to non-binary content creator Jeffery Marsh. In her first video, dated February 22, Nessa took issue with Marsh’s “therapeutic services,” some of which appear to be geared towards minors.
In Nessa’s video, she showed a few seconds of a close-up of Marsh wearing green eyeshadow, false eyelashes, and speaking through clenched teeth as angrily told his viewers to “stop telling trans people we’re inspirational.”
Mimicking Marsh’s pressed tone, Nessa tells Marsh: “Stop telling kids to go on your Patreon and chat to you privately without their parents knowing.” Nessa ends her video with a facial expression characteristic of her comedic styling, one which has earned her over seven million followers on the TikTok platform.
Following her critique, Nessa became the target of backlash from trans activists, who accused her of mischaracterizing Marsh’s intentions towards minors and likening her words to murder and violence. While many replies to Nessa’s video thanked her for her cadence, others took the opportunity to attack her appearance, religion, and political views.
“Please show us proof.. or are you just accusing someone with hearsay? Allah would be proud..NOT,” one user wrote in response to Nessa’s February 22 video.
Another commented: “This is transphobic. I have made excuses for you when you previously did problematic things but this is definitely far past the line. You are spreading harmful rhetoric that gets trans people murdered.”
Despite being a Bangladeshi woman who was born in and lives in England, one user @bluebelleofthesouth2.0 responded to Nessa’s 18-second clip with information regarding “child marriage in the Middle East.”
The woman shared the screenshot of information with a caption addressing Nessa directly:
“I genuinely liked you before this. Now I see you so fucking differently. Jeffrey isn’t fucking doing that shit and until you can provide proof that they are SIT DOWN… But we have proof of what men in your culture do every fucking day to little girls.”
Another user responding to the clip accused Nessa of “tokenizing” herself for “white supremacists,” and suggested that Nessa “really need[s] to go with the ethnic project.”
One non-binary TiktToker named Chelsea Hart responded to Nessa with an emotional two-minute video which she has since made private. In the video, Hart proclaimed that Nessa had “put Jeffrey’s life in danger and put every nonbinary person and trans person’s life in danger with [her] behavior.”
Hart said Nessa’s humorous TikTok was the “third time [she] has seen this lie about Jeffrey.” Hart declared that “recently, a bunch of conservatives have made it a point to edit Jeffrey’s videos in such a way that it leaves out the context that Jeffrey is a counsellor and a coach helping adults deal with childhood trauma.”
She says she does not know how Nessa got “swept up into far-right conspiracy theories,” and swears multiple times while defending Marsh, insisting that his content is for adults and adults only.
She talks directly to Nessa, saying “you were so willing, without any groundwork, to label Jeffrey a predator which would put Jeffrey’s life in danger…”
Hart goes on to reference the murder of a trans-identified teen Brianna Ghey that took place in England and accuses Nessa of “putting another trans life in danger… because cis people always believe each other over us.” She continues lecturing Nessa and again asserts that her short video “put a trans person’s life in danger less than a couple of weeks after a trans person was brutally stabbed to death in the country where [Nessa] lives.”
“Jeffrey Marsh is a fucking counselor,” Hart angrily shares, demanding Nessa take her video down.
In response to the backlash against her February 22 video, Nessa uploaded her second TikTok on March 1.
In her video Nessa says: “…a lot of people made stitches of me saying I’m transphobic… they’ve even attacked my scarf, my religion… and these people have also said [Marsh is] not talking to the kids.”
I HOPE THIS CLEARS SOME THINGS! Also I made this video NOT because they are trans, I would have created the same video for anyone who is trying to harm kids! PERIOD!
To defend her position, Nessa pieced together five clips of Marsh directly addressing minors taken from his own TikTok page, adding “so yeah, there’s a lot of videos of [Marsh] addressing kids.”
The main video she takes issue with is one where Marsh tells his audience: “Your parents screwed up. It’s okay to say so! That’s why I made a Patreon.”
Nessa responds to that clip and asks Marsh, “So you wanna talk to kids whose parents have screwed up? Why? Why you wanna talk to these particular kids? Why?”
She stitches more of Marsh’s footage where he informs his audience that his Patreon allows them to “connect in a way that has more privacy, so [they] could talk to each other in a way that’s more open and stuff that [they] wouldn’t share, like, in the comments…”
Nessa invites Marsh to clarify on his offer of private communication.
“So you wanna talk to kids on a social media platform privately about topics that cannot be talked about in… comment sections… because why? Why you wanna do that? What could be the reason? You teach kids how to go no contact with their parents…is that what you’re teaching them on Patreon? Or is it this” she asks, as she points to a screenshot from Marsh’s Patreon where he shared a post headlined “more on sex.”
Then Nessa goes into some frequently used grooming tactics by predators which include gaining access and isolating the victim.
Finally, Nessa shows a clip of Marsh in a tiara talking to his viewers and saying, “If you do not have a family that loves you… I’m going to be your family.”
Nessa boldly responds, “No, you cannot. You are a stranger on the internet. You are not their family,” and also notes that age restrictions can be turned off on Patreon, so children can indeed access his account where he coaches and encourages kids to go “no contact” with their parents.
Nessa ends her final video telling viewers, “you guys decide what you wanna believe.”
But on March 3, Nessa would report she had faced a real-world attack for her videos on Marsh.
Calling it her final address of the controversy, Nessa shows multiple clips of Marsh’s own content in which he repeatedly encourages his followers to go “no contact” with their parents.
Nessa responds to the clips and asks her own audience and to those intent on debasing her, “So if Jeffrey Marsh is really wanting to talk to the adults, why is… why are they already saying to the kids, ‘go no contact with your adults…?’”
Nessa even refers to Marsh with “they/them” pronouns in a show of respect for Marsh and his “nonbinary” identity and to prove that she is concerned with his content regarding children as opposed to his “gender identity.”
Approximately two days prior to filming her final video on the topic, her car was vandalized outside her home. She admits that she has no cameras to show footage and does not know who is responsible for damaging her vehicle. Still, Nessa asserts that this is her final video on the topic “for obvious reasons.”
Nessa provides footage of her car in the TikTok, showing one of the back doors had a piece of panel seemingly ripped off. She confirmed in the comments she is in the process of getting cameras to monitor her property.

While Nessa received an immense amount of backlash for stating her concerns about Marsh’s conduct, she is not the only one who has expressed similar worries.
On March 3, the same day as Nessa recorded her final video on Marsh, screenshots began to circulate on social media from a UK school warning parents and carers about Marsh’s content.
While the source TikTok for the screenshot has been made unavailable, it was initially posted by a mother who claimed she had received it from her son’s school.

Marsh has long been the topic of discussion amongst pro-woman activists for regularly denying the existence of biological sex, and even taking platforms to advertise feminine hygiene products.
In 2020, Marsh took place in a tampon advertisement campaign while calling himself a “non-binary person who does not menstruate.” Marsh claimed his intention behind taking the paid gig was to help end the stigma associated with periods. He said in a video: “And then the hate came for me,” and scolded women who took issue with his participation in the tampon promotion, claiming that they were “policing” gender by criticizing him.
In January, Reduxx noted that Marsh was well-known amongst child safeguarding advocates for his catalogue of videos directly addressing the “kids” in his audience. Marsh has encouraged people to go “no contact” with families or relatives who invalidate their gender identity, and has advised parents to provide “gender affirming care” for their children.
Violence directed at women who criticize gender ideology or proponents of child transitioning has seen a distinct uptick over the past year.
In November, Reduxx reported that mother and activist Jeanna Hoch was attacked after attending a Tacoma demonstration in support of women’s right to free speech. Colorado Springs Antifa published a blog post about Hoch on their official website in which her home address was offered at the top of the post, as well as a link to a flyer with her photo, full name, age, and address. The flyer also featured a QR code and a link to the blog post itself, which painted Hoch and the other women who attended the Tacoma event out to be far-right fascists.
On November 6, Antifa members distributed physical copies of the flyer in Hoch’s neighborhood and showed up at her home. Antifa members also took pictures of one of her vehicles and posted her license plate online. One of her vehicles was vandalized during the visit, with one Antifa member gluing a death threat to the driver’s side front windshield of her car.
Most recently, a Reduxx exclusive revealed a woman in Australia was left permanently disabled after being physically assaulted by a trans activist for her views on gender ideology.

A Houston man who became noted on social media and in local press for his “unique family” of adopted sons has been charged on a slew of child sex crimes. Hayim Nissim Cohen, 38, reportedly fabricated an identity as a chronically ill Hasidic Jewish Rabbi to obscure his crimes.
Cohen, 38, was charged last week with eight offenses, including injury to a child under 15, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault of a child, and continuous sexual abuse of a child. The charges were the latest leveled against Cohen, who was already facing other counts also related to child sexual abuse. In total, Cohen is currently facing 11 felony charges.

Cohen’s long history of child sexual abuse first came to light on February 1 after one of his adoptive sons, now 17, called into an advice podcast and detailed abuses against him and his brothers that had started from around the time he was adopted, at age 11.
The teenager, who stated he had been using a burner phone for his protection, said that he had planned to wait until he was an adult to report his adoptive father. He feared retribution from Cohen, who had bribed and threatened both him and his brothers with injury and death if they went to police.
He also expressed a reluctance to report because he had little faith in the child protective system, having already experienced failures from those who were supposed to be safeguarding the adoptive process.
The podcasters, concerned for the youth’s life, fished more details out of the teen before calling police, who were able to trace the call and find the teenager. The boy initially denied having admitted to any abuses but later admitted to what had happened after being presented with a recording of his own voice.
Janna Oswald, chief prosecutor for the Harris County District Attorney’s Crimes Against Children Division, provided some disturbing details on the children’s experiences to the Houston Chronicle. Oswald explained that the children were locked in a room for most of the day, and that Cohen would sometimes force them to perform sex acts once they were let out. One victim, now 16, said that if he disobeyed, Cohen would pepper spray him.
Oswald also says Cohen used religion and social media popularity to obscure the reality of his crimes.
According to Times of Israel, the latest counts were laid against Cohen while he was already facing a felony indecency charge from 2019 unrelated to his sons. Cohen is alleged to have sexually abused an underage foreign exchange student who had been staying in his home.
The student, who was from Spain, had been attending Sharpstown High School and had been placed with Cohen as a host despite multiple people reportedly having concerns he was a pedophile. The youth’s ordeal only came to light after he broke down and told the principal of his school.
Cohen, presenting himself as a single father raising nine ultra-Orthodox Jewish sons, amassed a sizable following on TikTok, where the family’s 200,000 followers have viewed his content more than three million times.
In addition to this TikTok page, the family had a channel on YouTube and accounts on Instagram and Facebook. Most of the videos published across the platforms feature Cohen and his adoptive sons vlogging their daily life, discussing Jewish customs, and preaching love and acceptance.
In many photos on the family’s social media pages, Cohen is seen using an oxygen mask and wheelchair — two devices he is also using during court appearances. But his adoptive sons have challenged the authenticity of Cohen’s allegedly poor health, claiming he never used the assistive medical devices when he was in the home. According to KTRK, one of the teenage boys reportedly told investigators “everything (Cohen) does is fake.”

In addition to potentially fabricating his health conditions, questions have been raised about Cohen’s Judaism.
Cohen claimed in various press interviews over the years to have grown up speaking Yiddish as a Hasidic Jew in New York City and occasionally claimed to be a Rabbi, but legal documents show that Cohen was born Jeffrey Lujan Vejil in Odessa, Texas.
Questions have also been raised about Cohen’s claims that his sons were all from Jewish backgrounds. The inconsistencies in Cohen’s story were first identified by Za’akah, a child safeguarding group focused on combatting sexual abuse in the Orthodox Jewish community. Za’akah had been closely monitoring the case, and has been providing updates on their TikTok.
The Orthodox Jewish community in Houston also reportedly identified problems with Cohen’s performance, according to Times of Israel, and he was subsequently shunned. Cohen was relegated to presenting as Hasidic at secular Jewish events where less people would pick up in the discrepancies in his behavior.
Fake Chassisic Jew who was “adopting” kids to be put on #tiktok has been arrested for multiple counts. As a note, when someone showed me his account it was obvious wasn’t real. Among other things, wrong rebbe on the wall, payos start at wrong place, they had weird books in their… https://t.co/TEZcH40BaSpic.twitter.com/tZfHqZL04D
Notably, Cohen was a strong proponent of adoption, and urged people, including single men, to adopt children.
In a 2017 interview with Houston Family Magazine, Cohen said: “As a father, I cherish every moment with my kiddos, and I must humble myself and remember that they cherish every moment with me. I pray that every father, whether single, married, or adoptive, can see that he is a hero to his kids–in the good times and the bad.”
A later interview with the Jewish Press, would show Cohen reiterate his sentiments: “I’m a single father of nine. People have a million questions, and I get that … My goal for this online platform is twofold… to demonstrate that anyone – even a single chassidic man – could adopt, and to show people that foster kids are kids like any others.”
On his official website, Cohen had an entire section dedicated to encouraging adoption, and made several Youtube videos on fostering. Cohen also founded an entity called the Jewish Home School Network, which he described as being started in April of 2017.
“Our mission is to help provide support and understanding from a Jewish perspective. Our goal is to reach out to other homeschooling families in order to create a network,” Cohen’s website reads. “We are open to all levels of observance. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or suggestions!”
The horrific charges against Cohen come just weeks after another another shocking incident of adoptive parent abuse came to widespread public attention.
In January, the Daily Wire reported new details from the 2022 case of William and Zachary Zulock, a gay couple in Georgia who had adopted two sons from a Christian special needs agency. Like Cohen, the Zulocks had a significant social media presence where they advertised their unique family.
The Zulocks were frequently seen at pride events, and even made customized rainbow t-shirts for themselves and their adopted children that they posed in on Instagram.

Hershey’s is facing backlash following the release of their International Women’s Day campaign, one which features a trans-identified male with a history of making disparaging comments about women. Many social media users are now calling for consumers to boycott the company.
Trans activist Fae Johnstone is being featured in the SHE campaign by Hershey’s for International Women’s Day, which is due to take place on March 8. Johnstone excitedly announced his participation in the advertisement through Twitter on Wednesday.
Women on Twitter did not react positively to the news of Johnstone’s participation, with some calling it “female erasure.” Many began tagging the company and expressing their disappointment in the campaign, launching a hashtag “#HersheyHatesWomen” and threatening to boycott Hershey products.
“Hi @Hersheys WHY do you let a MAN who hates women and wants to silence us, represent WOMEN on International Women’s Day,” one user wrote, including a screenshot of a tweet from Johnstone calling for “TERFs” to be silenced. TERF is an acronym which stands for “trans exclusionary radical feminist,” but is often applied to any person, especially a female, who expresses critiques of gender ideology.
“He is not a woman and should not be featured in an International Women’s Day ad. There are many inspiring women who would have been a great choice to represent women but they chose a MAN. What a vile way to teach girls and women about male privilege. #BoycottHersheys,” another Twitter user said.
Hershey's is celebrating International Women's Day by boosting the voice of… a man in lipstick.
But not just any man in lipstick! One who disrespected the lives of 14 murdered women last year by making their memorial event all about the "2SLGBTQIA+". pic.twitter.com/Gmjp1FOFUK
This is not the first time Johnstone, who identifies as “trans feminine and non-binary,” has been selected to take a platform representing women.
In December of 2022, Johnstone was invited to give the keynote address at Durham College in Ontario, Canada for their National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women ceremony. The event was a memorial tribute held on the anniversary of the École Polytechnique massacre. During the horrific act of mass femicide, 14 women, 13 students and one university staff member, were killed by a lone gunman who claimed he was retaliating against feminism.
“You’re women, you’re going to be engineers. You’re all a bunch of feminists. I hate feminists,” the shooter said after telling all of the males to exit a classroom. He opened fire on the remaining women in a horrific act that has now been recognized as terrorism by the Canadian government.
After his keynote speech at the event, Johnstone was confronted by an attendee who questioned the University’s decision to platform him at the memorial ceremony.
Jennifer Anne, a woman’s rights campaigner, recorded her interaction with Johnstone, and uploaded the audio to Twitter.
“I am wondering why, on this day, we would have a man dressed in women’s garb to talk to us about sex-based violence and keeping women safe? How can women stay safe in this environment?”
Despite identifying himself as a “feminist,” Johnstone has previously attacked various feminist groups for failing to include men in their activism or for using sex-based language.
In November of 2021, Johnstone made disparaging remarks towards the Canadian Femicide Observatory, a research and information centre which aims to prevent femicide and violence against women, for using “TERF rhetoric” on Twitter due to their overt focus on female victims of sex-based crime.
Johnstone also attacked the Declaration on Women’s Sex Based Rights, which advocates for women and girls on the basis of needing single-sex spaces and protection from violence, and has called for those who hold views critical of gender ideology to be “so vilified” that they are unable to publicly express their opinions on the debate.
I actually do want a political environment in which TERFs are so vilified they don’t dare speak their views publicly, let alone act on them. Shut. Them. Down.
Most recently, Johnstone advocated for the placement of a male rapist in a woman’s prison. Responding to fellow trans activist Peter Tatchell on Twitter, Johnstone compared segregating a transgender double rapist from the female general population to segregating lesbian inmates.
So should we also segregate gay prisoners? Lesbian prisoners? It’s not the misgendering that hurts here – it’s the idea that trans women are a threat to cis women that underpins the separation “solution”.
As well as attacking feminist organizations and those advocating for female only spaces, Johnstone is a proponent of “drag queen story hour” (DQSH).
In one article he published last month, he called the opposition to DQSH a rise in “anti-queer hate” and called for protection bubbles around “queer spaces,” similar to the protection zone around abortion clinics.
Johnstone has worked extensively with different departments in the Canadian Government, including Health Canada. One Twitter user attended a sex-education workshop led by Johnstone and expressed concerns over some of the subject matter being discussed.

In a short statement regarding the controversy, Johnstone said: “It was, and continues to be, an immense honor to be included in Hershey’s Canada’s campaign, as a young trans woman and feminist advocate.”
Johnstone also tweeted that the backlash he has received shows “just how far we still have to go in the fight for feminist liberation and trans rights.”
Despite the negative feedback regarding the campaign from social media users, Hershey’s has doubled down on their decision to include Johnstone in the women’s empowerment campaign.
Posting to Instagram, Hershey’s Canada said: “We value togetherness and recognize the strength created by diversity. Over the past three years, our Women’s History Month programming has been an inclusive celebration of women and their impact. We appreciate the countless people and meaningful partnerships behind these efforts.”
The comments made in response to their statement have been overwhelmingly negative, with women using the hashtags #STOPERASINGWOMEN and #BoycottHersheys in their replies.
This is not the first time social media users have called for a company to be boycotted for having men represent women.
Feminine hygiene brands Tampax and Always have both faced scrutiny from consumers for using trans-identified males to sell their products. Earlier this year, women on social media called for a Tampax boycott after Jeffery Marsh, a 45 year old man who identifies as non-binary, spoke about being paid to promote tampons and other feminine hygiene products for the brand.
Always, another feminine hygiene company, faced widespread backlash last year after transgender TikToker Dylan Mulvaney claimed to have received a sponsorship deal from them. Mulvaney would prompt yet another wave of anger from women after he was invited on an Ulta Beauty podcast to discuss girlhood and motherhood in October of 2022, resulting in #BoycottUlta trending on Twitter.

Una compañía londinense de cabaret para bebés está provocando la indignación en las redes sociales después de que empezaran a circular videos perturbadores de sus eventos supuestamente aptos para niños.
El 1 de marzo, la presentadora británica Dominique Samuels compartió imágenes de Instagram de Caba Baba Rave, una empresa de ocio que se especializa en ofrecer “eventos sensoriales” para recién nacidos y bebés. Los eventos suelen adoptar la forma de un cabaret circense.
En las imágenes que Samuels subió a Twitter, se ve a hombres adultos vestidos de forma extremadamente provocativa actuando para un público formado por bebés que están sentados en el suelo con sus padres.
En una toma, se ve a un hombre adulto sin camisa vestido con pantalones cortos negros y botas de cuero con tacón de aguja haciendo un número en el aire con cintas de seda. En otro, se ve a un hombre con un tanga negra y tacones transparentes de stripper haciendo equilibrios boca abajo sobre una silla, con el bulto de la entrepierna completamente visible. En el vídeo también aparece una bailarina, pero con más ropa que sus compañeros varones.
For reference, this is one of the screen recordings I was sent from this organisation called Caba Baba Rave, that targets BABIES.
— Dominique Samuels (@Dominiquetaegon) March 1, 2023
Las imágenes han provocado la indignación general desde que se subieron a las redes, y los usuarios de Twitter se mostraron escandalizados por la exhibición de sexualidad flagrante delante de bebés.
“¿Qué padre o madre (si podemos llamarlos así) en su sano juicio sometería a UN NINO a esto? Qué daño se les está haciendo a estas mentes jóvenes; Los padres están ahí para proteger a los niños de este tipo de comportamiento. ¿Por qué se permite que esto continúe?”, preguntó una usuaria en respuesta al video.
If these were ACTUAL females dressed like this and performing like this for KIDS, people would be absolutely outraged -and rightfully so. The performers being male makes it no less inappropriate

“Si estas fueran mujeres REALES vestidas así y actuando así para NIÑOS, la gente estaría absolutamente indignada, y con razón. El hecho de que los artistas sean hombres no lo hace menos inapropiado”, señaló otra usuaria.
Caba Baba Rave se creó a principios de 2022 cuando dos mujeres decidieron que era crucial para los padres tener un evento donde pudieran experimentar “la noche londinense” con cabaret, bebidas y baile, pero “al que puedas llevar a tu bebé”.
Sus eventos están dirigidos a padres con bebés de hasta 2 años, y los describen como “un trocito de placer vespertino que ofrece un cabaret espectacular intercalado con cautivadores momentos sensoriales para bebés y que termina… en una RAVE”.
El 11 de marzo, Caba Baba Rave presentará un espectáculo en The Vault, un local grande de Londres que ofrece comedia, teatro y otras actuaciones en vivo. Otros eventos celebrados en the Vault también tienen un tema decididamente sexual, incluyendo “Conversaciones al Desnudo”, donde los panelistas “posan desnudos mientras conversan sobre la desnudez”, y un espectáculo de marionetas drag titulado “The Sodomite” (“El Sodomita”).
Según el LinkTree de la compañía, el evento del 11 de marzo ya está agotado.
Además de sus espectáculos, el Caba Baba Rave también anuncia que hacen fiestas privadas para niños.
Uno de esos ejemplos que aparecen en sus redes sociales fue una fiesta de cumpleaños para un niño de 1 año. En uno de los clips de la fiesta del bebé salía el artista drag Anna Phylactic, cuyo nombre parece ser un juego de palabras con la “anafilaxia”, una reacción alérgica grave.
El acto de presentación de la compañía tuvo lugar en enero de 2022 y contó con la participación del artista drag “Linda B. Hind” (B. Hind=behind, significa detrás o, a veces, culo) y el DJ “Mister Molly“. El intérprete “Linda B. Hind” se puede ver en un video casi desnudo y rociando champán por todas partes en una actuación reciente. “Mister Molly”, que anunció el “cabaret y la rave sensorial para bebés” en su Instagram, es un “payaso drag”, como Jimbo the Drag Clown (artículo en español). Ambos también están afiliados a “House of Naked” (“Casa del Desnudo”), cuyos espectáculos son una “utopía hedonista” donde uno puede ver “cabaret que fusiona íconos drag, grandes figuras del cabaret y leyendas del circo en un espectáculo queer fascinante”.
Una publicación en el Instagram oficial de Caba Baba Rave.
Durante la redacción de este artículo, Caba Baba Rave se puso el candado en sus redes sociales, lo que hizo que su contenido no estuviera disponible en Instagram y Facebook. Justo antes, Reduxx observó que muchas de sus publicaciones utilizaban con frecuencia hashtags como “babysensory”, “rave”, “londonbaby”, “drag”, “babycabaret” y “londonbabyevents”.
En febrero, Caba Baba Rave les dio las gracias a los que asistieron a sus eventos por ayudar a “difundir el amor, la diversidad y la cultura”, y dijo que es “importante celebrar los pequeños momentos con nuestros bebés, ¡pequeños momentos de amor!”
Las actuaciones de drag dirigidas a niños se han convertido en temas de preocupación social generalizada en los últimos meses, y algunos padres y defensores de la protección infantil luchan contra esta práctica. Muchos han notado que los eventos drag a menudo incluyen contenido sexualmente sugerente, e incluso se ha descubierto que algunos drag queens son delincuentes sexuales infantiles.
En enero, Reduxx reveló que el fundador de Drag Queen Story Hour UK estaba recaudando fondos para los gastos del funeral de un violador de niños convicto. Sab Samuel, un drag queen conocido por leer a niños en escuelas y bibliotecas, lamentó la pérdida de Darren Moore (artículo en español), un destacado artista drag, y lo describió como un “ser humano exuberante”.
El año pasado, Reduxx también informó sobre el caso de un galardonado drag queen del Reino Unido acusado de posesión y producción de imágenes indecentes y prohibidas de niños.
Andrew Duncan, que usaba el nombre de drag Miss Rachel Rear (rear es parte trasera, y también culo), se enfrentó a múltiples cargos relacionados con 17 casos de materiales de abuso sexual infantil encontrados en su posesión. Algunos de los materiales eran imágenes de niños reales, y otros eran representaciones ilegales de fantasía de niños involucrados en actos obscenos y pornográficos.
En los Estados Unidos, se han producido múltiples incidentes el año pasado, en los que se han visto niños pequeños expuestos a espectáculos de drag sexualmente provocativos.
El 2 de junio, un inquietante TikTok comenzó a circular en Twitter mostrando a una niña de 3 a 5 años de la mano de un drag queen transgénero vestido provocativamente. El drag queen solo llevaba pezoneras de lentejuelas que cubrían sus implantes mamarios, y una minúscula tanga llena de billetes.
BREAKING:
Governor DeSantis files complaint against R House Wynwood for hosting drag shows in front of toddlers pic.twitter.com/QqKIh1sGRs
DeSantis puso en marcha investigaciones adicionales sobre espectáculos de drag “adecuados para toda la familia” más tarde, e incluso parece haber sopesado la idea de que los servicios de protección infantil investigaran a los padres que expusieron a sus hijos a espectáculos de drag sexualmente provocativos.
El 3 de febrero, DeSantis anunció que un teatro en Orlando que permitía a niños ver una actuación drag, sería despojado de su licencia para vender alcohol.
Otros estados han adoptado similares posturas duras contra los espectáculos de drag dirigidos a los niños. Esta semana, el gobernador de Tennessee, Bill Lee, declaró que promulgaría un proyecto de ley que prohibiría las “actuaciones de cabaret para adultos” en público o delante de niños, lo que incluye espectáculos de cabaret con “bailarines en topless, bailarines go-go, bailarines exóticos, strippers, imitadores masculinos o femeninos”.
