UK: Trans Activists Stage Piss-Filled Protest In Front of London’s Equality And Human Rights Commission

Trans activists in London staged a urine-filled protest outside of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) on Monday in response to proposed alterations to the Equality Act which would strengthen women’s sex-based rights.

Members of the organization Pissed Off Trannies (POT) gathered outside of the EHRC on May 22 to leave 90 liters of human urine around the perimeter of the building. The protest was in response to a recent statement by chief executive of the EHRC, Melanie Field, in which she affirmed the definition of “sex.”

The statements by Field were made during an interview with Transactual, a trans activist organization headed by trans-identified male Helen Belcher. Belcher pressed Field on the definition of “biological sex,” to which Field responded it was the “sex recorded at birth.”

Field’s comment reflects a slow-moving trend at the EHRC to implement stronger protections for biological sex as a protected characteristic, as well as recent plans to prevent trans-identified males from accessing women’s facilities unless they have a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC).

A jug of human urine left outside of the EHRC office.

GRCs are documents which legally recognize a person’s transgender identity in the United Kingdom. The bar for acquiring one is not particularly high, having two primary requirements of a gender dysphoria diagnosis, and the individual having “lived” as their “preferred gender” for at 2 years. The fee is nominal at £5, but it can be waived entirely for low-income people.

The proposals have been met with extreme backlash by trans activists, who have branded the EHRC’s attempts to consider further protections for women as “anti-trans bias.”

This Monday, masked POT trans activists gathered outside of the EHRC office to leave bottles of human urine in protest of the considerations. The activists also poured the bottles of piss on the sidewalks.

POT posted an artistic video of the demonstration to their Instagram, featuring close-up shots of the bottles of urine with audio and transcription of Field’s interview with Transactual superimposed over the scenes.

“We placed 90 liters of trans piss outside the building and in their revolving doors, rendering the EHRC more explicitly what it already was: an inaccessible mess,” Pot wrote in the description of the video.

“Pouring piss is an anarchist act of resistance that stakes an urgent and lingering claim on our basic human rights … If you take away our toilets we will make one on your doorstep.”

This is not the first time POT has staged a piss-filled protest outside of the EHRC in London.

In September of 2022, POT activists similarly left jugs of human urine around the office’s doorstep, with one masked activist pouring one bottle on himself.

While the initial exclusive coverage by VICE did not publish the names of the activists involved, allowing them to remain anonymous, it was later revealed that the primary organizer for POT is an artist who has contributed to VICE in the past.

Jamie Cottle is a trans-identified male from Reading, England, who studied English at University College London. Cottle uses the moniker “Biogal” on social media. After staging his first protest outside of the EHRC last year, Cottle boasted about his actions on Instagram.

Cottle regularly hosts disturbing “performances” he claims are demonstrations of trans activism.

In one performance from 2022, simply titled “FISH,” Cottle strips while slapping himself with a dead fish. In another from that same year, titled “Prayer for the Pearl Oyster,” Cottle is seen wearing women’s underwear, transparent platform heels, and a pearl necklace. He rips fabric, tosses about oysters, and screams while stomping on the shells. Cottle then begins writhing, strips naked, and removes a sex toy from his anus.

In addition to providing words in a VICE article on “trans joy,” last year Cottle contributed to a piece published in the Italian edition of Vogue magazine.

Titled “The Hairy Boundaries of My Womanhood,” the article asserts that “trans women and non-binary femmes” should find “new ways to express their genders through facial hair,” while drawing a parallel between “dyke movements and women with PCOS” to biological males who claim a female identity.

“When covering my moustache, I experience security from the notion of passing but deal with the dangers of catcalling,” Cottle told Vogue. “When I choose not to cover up, I signal to the world my radical position on gender and resistance to the male gaze.”

In a photo posted to his Instagram account in October 2020, Cottle can be seen licking a knife in a threatening fashion. Behind him were images of Member of Parliament Liz Truss, and a man who appears to resemble former First Secretary of State Dominic Raab. The image is titled “Target Practice.”

In a similarly menacing image, Cottle was photographed in a skin-tight dress holding a sign that reads, “The streets will flow with tranny piss and Tory blood.”

In an interview with Era Journal, the University College of London’s Arts and Culture publication, Cottle acknowledges his admiration for a US-based trans-identified male called Río Sofia, who has made bondage and forced feminization pornography of himself as part of his academic studies at Cooper Union College. In 2020, Sofia presented his self-made pornography during a lecture for Princeton University.

One of Cottle’s performances appears to have been influenced by Sofia, who, during his presentation for Princeton, boasted of stripping down to nothing but “lucite-looking heels” and exposing himself to the then-president of Cooper Union, in an attempt to spark provocation.

Cottle also recently assisted with a fundraiser for his girlfriend’s double mastectomy. Jasmine, 22, a female who identifies as a man, stated on her GoFundMe page that she was “on the GenderCare pathway” due to being “exhausted [with] having to endure my body being sexualized in a way that feels so foreign to me.”

In 2021, Cottle was a member of the Queer Heritage and Collections Network Steering Group and a listed speaker at their taxpayer-funded symposium. The symposium featured prominent UK artists sharing “knowledge, skills, expertise and best practice regarding national and regional heritage sites and collections working with LGBTQ+ histories,” and was held in partnership with the national Art Fund.

Cottle was presented as being associated with English Heritage, a major charity that manages over 400 historic monuments, buildings and places in the United Kingdom.

While Cottle has put his Instagram on private, his biography does claim he will be appearing at the Tate Britain, a historic art gallery in central London, on June 10.

FINLAND: Outrage As Transgender Serial Killer Classified As “Female” By Wikipedia

By
Genevieve Gluck
-

A Finnish serial killer who targeted young girls and women has been categorized as a “female” criminal by Wikipedia, prompting criticism on social media. Michael Maria Penttilä, 57, has been described by national media as the “only Finn to meet the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) definition of a serial killer,” having sexually abused and strangled multiple female victims to death, including children. Penttilä was born Jukka Torsten Lindholm, but is also known as Michael Pentholm.

Penttilä has a lengthy criminal record, which was recently highlighted in response to the revelation that he is classified as a “female” by Wikipedia. Many women expressed their outrage using the hashtag “notourcrimes,” which indicates opposition to male violence being recorded in statistics as having been committed by a woman.

Even as an adolescent, Penttilä committed sexually motivated and violent crimes. In 1981, at the age of 16, he abducted a teen girl, locked her in a basement, and beat her. Penttilä choked the girl with scarves and threatened to rape her, but she was able to flee. As punishment for the sadistic offense and a series of petty thefts, Penttilä was held at the Kerava Youth Facility in 1984 for one year.

Penttilä’s first known murder victim was of his own mother, Laina Lahja Orvokki Lindholm, whom he strangled on August 26, 1985, just after his release from the youth detention center. However, the crime was initially considered accidental by authorities, and the verdict in Penttilä’s case was ultimately decided to be wrongful death.

The next year, Penttilä met two 12 year-old girls and convinced them to accompany him to his apartment by promising to give them money to buy alcohol. He then locked one of the victims in the bathroom before using a belt to fatally strangle the other girl. Penttilä proceeded to rape the surviving girl, who was eventually able to escape after neighbors overheard her screams for help and contacted law enforcement.

It was only upon his arrest for the rape and murder of the young girls that the truth about Laina Lindholm’s death was revealed. During interrogations, Penttilä described to police how he had waited for his mother to fall asleep before donning her blue leather gloves and one of her scarves and choking her to death. He told authorities he killed his mother because she had begun dating another man since divorcing his father, and because he blamed her for not attempting to secure an early release for him from the youth facility.

In March of 1987, the Oulu District Court ruled that Penttilä was guilty of the murders of his mother and the child, and sentenced him to 9 years and seven months’ imprisonment. Despite this, the Rovaniemi Appellate Court intervened and held that Laina Lindholm’s death was not a murder, but instead a lesser crime of negligent homicide, and reduced his sentence to seven years.

Disturbingly, Penttilä confessed that he visited his mother’s grave after the killing.

Just one year after Penttilä was granted parole in May of 1992, he again choked a woman to death in his apartment in Kempele. The victim was a 42 year-old woman identified in press as Arja, and Penttilä admitted to causing her death, but claimed the murder was accidental and a result of engaging in the sadomasochistic sexual practice of erotic asphyxiation.

Months later and while in prison, Penttilä told law enforcement his chilling motive behind the slaying. He said that he had confessed to having a “sexual abnormality” to Arja. Before her death, he told Arja that he was only capable of sadomasochistic sex, which included bondage, whipping and strangulation.

The Oulu District Court sentenced Penttilä to 9 and a half years, and a psychiatric evaluation was conducted. The examination concluded that Lindholm was sane and aware of his actions, and was therefore guilty. Finnish media reported that “[Penttilä’s] sexual inclination towards S/M sex and desire for strangulation did not show up in the examination because he focused on being as normal as possible.”

Finland’s Center for Legal Protection of Health Care also stated that Penttilä should be classified as an extreme danger to others, and the Appellate Court intervened and extended his prison term by one additional year.

In 2000, while incarcerated in Hämeenlinna Central Prison which houses both male and female inmates in separate wards, Penttilä began to wear make-up and dress in women’s clothes. According to psychiatric reports, Penttilä had a preoccupation with a hyper-masculine and violent male ideal, despite his fetishistic crossdressing tendencies.

However, the prison’s director soon forbade him from wearing make-up and dresses, citing concerns about security. Penttilä then filed a formal complaint to Parliament’s ombudsman and attempted to argue that he was being discriminated against because female inmates were permitted to wear “men’s clothes.”

While in Hämeenlinna, Penttilä was granted permission to marry a woman named Hannele Pentholm, who was convicted of killing her husband and serving a life sentence. The two were married a short time, only two years, and after their divorce Penttilä adopted the name Michael Maria Penttilä and began claiming to be a lesbian woman.

After he was released on parole in November 2008, Penttilä again attacked three more women on separate occasions. In May of 2009, he attempted to strangle a healthcare worker who he had called to his home to perform chiropractic services. The woman was eventually able to escape after calming Penttilä down and convincing him to release her.

He continued his violent pattern twice more: first strangling a female housecleaner he had hired to tidy his apartment, and the second just three weeks afterwards.

On June 11 of 2010, the Oulu District Court sentenced Penttilä to six years for three aggravated assaults and attempted aggravated assault, as well as aggravated rape and deprivation of liberty. The next year, the Rovaniemi Appellate Court once again interfered with the ruling and reduced Penttilä’s sentence to just four years and five months. The final verdict was upheld in October of 2012.

Penttilä was released in December of 2016, and just two years later, he murdered a prostituted woman by strangling her with stockings in his Helsinki apartment. Additionally, he had been found to have planned to murder a 17 year-old girl in 2017.

He is now serving a life sentence for the brutal slaying.

During deliberations to determine whether Penttilä should be charged with homicide or the lesser crime of manslaughter, the court heard how he had spent hours of each day viewing pornography depicting asphyxiation leading up to the murders he had committed.

Psychologist Jan-Henry Stenberg told the Helsinki Court of Appeal that Penttilä’s pornography consumption illustrated the premeditated nature of his crime and highlighted the tendency for pornography use to escalate towards more extreme content. It was revealed that Penttilä had mimicked the actions of one of the men in a pornographic video he had watched.

Despite repeatedly targeting women and girls for sexually motivated violence, Penttilä is now listed as a “female serial killer” on Wikipedia, where editors have argued amongst themselves over this classification in the site’s open-access backend.

The page was initially created in 2018 under Penttilä’s birth name, Jukka Lindholm.

Few changes were made until last month when, on April 5, a trans activist Wiki editor known as Maddy from Celeste updated the serial killer’s name to Michael Maria Penttilä and cited “deadnaming” as the reason.

Editor Maddy from Celeste, a pseudonym which is a nod to a video game character and its developer, is credited with having created the page “Transgender history in Finland,” and identifies as queer, trans, and non-binary.

“A serial murderer has zero rights – stop with the pathetic gender crap, HE is not a she,” reads one comment on the article’s edit page.

Other comments can be seen in the edit history and depict a back-and-forth exchange over “misgendering”, with one anonymous editor stating, “This person was born a male. Humans cannot change sex.”

In July of 2019, the category labeled “transgender serial killers” was deleted by Wikipedia editors. However, a category does exist for “female serial killers,” and Penttilä is one of two entries in the section regarding Finnish criminals.

Penttilä’s sadistic killing spree resembles the criminal behavior of American serial killer Harvey Marcelin. Marcelin, who identifies as transgender and uses the name Marceline Harvey, murdered three women and dismembered two of his victims’ bodies. Marcelin similarly targeted women trafficked in the sex industry, and is currently being held in the women’s ward at Rikers Island in New York.

Like with Penttilä’s entry, a dispute between various Wikipedia contributors broke out over Harvey’s pronouns in 2022.

La policía quiere interrogar a una mujer maltratada por un hombre que se dice trans por “malgenerizar” a una paciente no binaria cuando estaba hospitalizada.

By
Reduxx and The Publica

Este es un reportaje conjunto en exclusiva de Reduxx y The Publica.

La policía de Derbyshire ha citado a una mujer británica para un interrogatorio por un supuesto comportamiento “transfóbico” durante su estancia en el hospital Chesterfield Royal Hospital.

Toni Smith* dice que recibió la notificación justo después de ser dada de alta de la unidad de salud mental del hospital donde había estado recibiendo tratamiento tras un episodio traumático relacionado con los abusos que sufrió en el pasado por parte de un hombre que se dice trans.

En declaraciones a Reduxx y The Publica para un reportaje conjunto en exclusiva, Smith explicó que ingresó voluntariamente en la Unidad Herrington de Chesterfield en enero, después de ponerse ella misma en contacto con los servicios de emergencia y explicar que se había autolesionado.

Smith es una sobreviviente de abusos sexuales y físicos continuados, abusos que, según dice, sufrió a manos de su ex novio que se dice transgénero.

“Cuando nos conocimos, él era culturista. Sus bíceps eran más grandes que mi cabeza. Nunca había conocido a nadie tan grande como él”. Smith dice, explicando que empezaron a salir juntos en 2017.

Poco más de un año después de comenzar la relación, Smith dice que descubrió que su pareja tenía una propensión a usar ropa de mujer y que le contó su deseo de “transicionar”.

“Me pilló completamente por sorpresa. Llevaba tiempo pensando que tenía problemas [con su cuerpo] … Al principio, muchos de los hábitos que tenía eran similares a los problemas que me causaba mi dismorfia corporal. Así que pensé que era algo parecido”.

Smith señala que si bien no era hostil a la decisión de su novio, no estaba interesada en validar su declaración.

Dado que por aquel entonces el debate sobre la ideología de género estaba aún muy lejos de la popularidad que tiene hoy, Smith afirma que nunca había pensado demasiado en la política que rodeaba al transgenerismo.

Sin embargo, sus sentimientos sobre la “transición” de su pareja eran contradictorios.

“Supe de inmediato que no seguiría con él. Pero me daba pena, quería ayudarlo a sentirse cómodo con la vida que había escogido, y pensé que después podríamos separarnos como amigos”.

Pero Smith dice que poco más tarde su pareja empezó a maltratarla físicamente y sus desacuerdos se tornaban violentos con frecuencia.

“Me maltrató horriblemente”, alega Smith. “Una vez, se sentó en mi pecho y me apretó el cuello hasta que me desmayé”.

El violento altercado acabó con la intervención de la policía. Al principio, el novio de Smith afirmó que ella había sido abusiva con él. Pero más tarde, Smith dice que trató de echarle la culpa a sus problemas de identidad de género.

“Me dijo que la razón por la que me había intentado estrangular y por la que era tan horrible conmigo era que estaba celoso de mí”, explicó.

Smith dice que los abusos fueron en aumento y que la identidad de género de su novio se convirtió en el catalizador para el continuo deterioro de la relación y de su salud mental.

“Me quitaba el maquillaje y me acusaba de engañarlo. Controlaba el dinero, pero enviaba mensajes a su familia alegando que yo me lo gastaba en mí o en drogas. También comenzó a coaccionarme a tener relaciones sexuales con otros hombres a cambio de dinero”, dice Smith, que explica que “al principio” no la obligaba, sino que invitaba a hombres a su casa y la ponía en un aprieto.

“Uno de ellos, casi al final, me hizo bastante daño. [Mi pareja] se dio cuenta de que era demasiado porque fue la última vez que me obligó a hacerlo. Creo que con otros se decía a sí mismo que no estaban abusando de mí porque al final acababa cediendo. Cree que eso es consentimiento”, dice Smith. “Había mucha sangre. Comencé a sentir dolores después de eso en el estómago. Después de romper con él, un día me desmayé y comencé a convulsionar y en el hospital descubrieron que se me había desprendido la espiral anticonceptiva y que, básicamente, se me estaba clavando en el cuello del útero e incrustándoseme dentro.”

Smith proporcionó a Reduxx y a The Publica varios videos que había grabado en secreto durante su relación. En uno de ellos, el hombre admitió haberle rociado la garganta con un desinfectante de limpieza doméstica porque ella lo salpicó accidentalmente con el tónico facial mientras se lo aplicaba en la cara.

En otro video de abril de 2020, Smith captó una interacción con su pareja, a quien se ve con el pelo largo teñido de rojo y pantalones de pijama rosa, enojándose con ella por cantar en el dormitorio, algo que Smith dice que hacía para bloquear el abuso verbal que él le infligía.

La interacción termina con él saliendo furioso a cortar la electricidad de la casa, dejando a Smith en completa oscuridad mientras la llama “abusiva”.

Smith dice que después de que dejara de grabar para poder conectar la electricidad, él la pateó contra una pared.

Inquietantemente, Smith dice que a continuación su pareja la denunció por un “delito de odio” por no afirmar suficientemente su identidad de género, algo que ella dice que ya había sucedido varias veces antes en la relación.

La policía acudió al domicilio, pero clasificó el caso como una simple disputa doméstica sin necesidad de intervención.

Al día siguiente, Smith decidió terminar la relación.

“El día que me fui, le rogué que buscara ayuda. Me dijo que no … así que mi amiga me llamó un taxi y me largué. Me fui al norte de Inglaterra, y fue en aquel momento cuando supongo que se dio cuenta de que de verdad no iba a volver con él. Comenzó a amenazar con suicidarse a menos que volviera, pero me negué”.

Durante la semana siguiente, la policía se puso en contacto con Smith para hacerle preguntas sobre la relación, claramente preocupada por la inquietante cantidad de llamadas que se habían hecho desde esa casa a lo largo del tiempo.

Smith finalmente se sinceró con los agentes sobre el abuso recibido una vez finalizada la relación. La policía de Merseyside hizo arreglos para que ella grabara una declaración en video, y la policía de Derbyshire se hizo cargo del caso.

En junio de 2020, dos meses después de que Smith se fuera, su ex fue arrestado mientras la policía investigaba las afirmaciones de Smith de haber sido víctima de tráfico sexual por parte de él.

“La razón por la que tardaron tanto entre mi declaración y su detención fue porque revisaron todos las denuncias que él que había hecho contra mí. Me había estado denunciando sin que yo lo supiera y había tantas que les llevó un par de semanas asegurarse de que las habían cerrado todas, que dijeron que ahora las consideraban malintencionadas y falsas “, explicó Smith.

Reduxx y The Publica revisaron las comunicaciones entre Smith y un agente de policía de Derbyshire, en las que se usaban pronombres femeninos para referirse a su agresor.

Dos correos electrónicos enviados por el agente a Smith con respecto a la investigación de su pareja.

Al final no se presentaron cargos y a Smith se le facilitaron detalles mínimos sobre los motivos de la decisión.

“[El agente] vino y dijo que su superior consideraba que no había pruebas suficientes y se negó incluso a pedir una decisión a la fiscalía. Simplemente lo archivó sin más trámite”.

Aunque Smith expresa su alivio por el fin de la relación, sigue teniendo problemas con su salud mental incluso después de la ruptura.

Experimentó episodios depresivos, autolesiones y ansiedad grave. A veces, Smith dice que tenía miedo de salir de la casa por temor a ver a uno de los hombres que habían formado parte del abuso sexual que sufrió cuando estaba con su ex.

En enero de 2023, Smith dice que tuvo un episodio grave de autolesión y que se puso en contacto con su hospital local para pedir ayuda.

La remitieron a urgencias del Hospital Chesterfield por falta de espacio, y finalmente fue admitida en la Unidad Hartington, el centro psiquiátrico del hospital. Smith fue ingresada en el pabellón femenino para recibir tratamiento, donde pasaría las próximas semanas en rehabilitación.

Allí se hizo amiga de otras pacientes del centro, una de las cuales, sin que Smith lo supiera, se identificaba como no binaria.

“No se mencionó que fuera no binaria. Yo no lo sabía. La había escuchado hacer un comentario sobre otra paciente, diciendo que era ‘transfóbica y que ninguna enfermedad mental causa eso’, lo que me pareció extraño”, dice Smith, y continúa: “Pero no se mencionó específicamente su identidad. Parecía tener una enfermedad mental muy leve y era muy funcional”.

Aunque al principio las dos mantenían una relación amistosa, las cosas se torcieron después de que la persona no binaria oyera por casualidad a Smith hablar de su ex pareja con otra paciente.

“Me oyó hablar con otra mujer en la zona común… Le estaba contando acerca de mi ex y mencioné que era transgénero”, explica Smith. Cuenta que cuando llegó de fumar un cigarrillo por la noche, la paciente no binaria estaba “gritando a pleno pulmón” sobre los derechos trans.

“Estaba en pie en la zona común, gritando ‘las mujeres trans son mujeres'”, dice Smith. “A gritos. No era una conversación privada”.

Smith explica que inmediatamente percibió que el exabrupto iba dirigido a ella, y se acercó a la joven para contarle su experiencia.

“Le dije: ‘vete a que te viole uno y luego me cuentas lo mujer que es'”, relata Smith. “No le grité, y luego me marché y me fui a la cama”.

Fue al día siguiente cuando se produjo el incidente que acabó siendo denunciado a la policía.

“Me enzarcé en una discusión con una enfermera que insistía una y otra vez en que la paciente que gritaba era una no binaria, no una mujer. Esa luz de gas me afecta de una manera extraña, debido a mi experiencia. [La enfermera] me dijo: ‘Elle no es una mujer’, y yo dije: ‘Sí que lo es, para empezar, está en una sala de mujeres'”.

Smith dice que se enfadó mucho, y que la paciente no binaria escuchó la conversación y comenzó a gritar desde otra zona, dándose cuenta de que la conversación iba sobre ella.

La nueva pareja de Smith llamaría más tarde al hospital para quejarse de la conducta de la enfermera, preocupado de que le hubieran causado angustia emocional.

“No podíamos entender cómo este hospital iba, por un lado, a tratarme por mi trauma, que ellos entendían que había sido causado por un hombre que se decía trans, y por otro, a discutir conmigo que una mujer no era una mujer”.

Smith dice que el incidente la hizo querer abandonar el hospital porque cada vez desconfiaba más del personal.

Le dieron el alta a finales de febrero y, aproximadamente un mes después, recibió un aviso de la policía de Derbyshire en el que se le informaba que debía acudir a comisaría para una entrevista formal.

En la carta, la policía explica que Smith fue acusada de haber “cometido un delito de orden público” en el que “dirigió palabras consideradas ofensivas hacia otra persona del pabellón del hospital”.

La fecha de la carta corresponde con la conversación que Smith tuvo con la enfermera en la cocina sobre la paciente no binaria.

Smith mostró su incredulidad ante la carta, y dijo que le preocupaba especialmente el hecho de que la policía la hubiera mandado a pesar de saber que había estado ingresada en un psiquiátrico recibiendo tratamiento para su salud mental.

“Esto en concreto no me asusta. Sé que no podrán procesarme. Conozco la ley lo suficientemente bien… pero el hecho de que la policía pueda acosar a las mujeres por su forma de hablar es aterrador”, dice Smith. “No he dicho nada que sea delictivo. Pero sí me preocupa que hagan esto a las mujeres”.

Reduxx y The Publica se pusieron en contacto con la policía de Derbyshire para obtener comentarios, pero no recibieron una respuesta.

Mientras tanto, Smith dice que no tiene intención de hablar con la policía, señalando que saben dónde encontrarla, pero aún no se han puesto en contacto para fijar una fecha para su entrevista en comisaría.

“Si quieren que vaya, ya saben dónde estoy. Todo este asunto de pedirme que sea proactiva para organizar mi propia entrevista policial … No voy a hacer tal cosa. No debería tener que hacerlo”.

Hace poco que Smith se involucró más en los debates en torno a la identidad de género a través de las comunidades en línea, en busca de apoyo por su experiencia pasada de haber sufrido abusos por parte de un varón trans identificado.

“Todo este movimiento …creo que es un movimiento misógino de hombres. No tiene nada que ver con los “derechos trans”. Van a por las mujeres vulnerables y exigen que cambiemos la forma en que vemos el mundo”.

Inquietantemente, Smith no es la primera mujer del Reino Unido que se enfrenta a la intervención policial después de “ofender” a una persona transgénero.

En enero de este año, la policía registró la casa de una mujer con discapacidad de Gales del Sur y la acabó deteniendo tras ser denunciada por cometer un “delito de odio transfóbico” por poner pegatinas para crear conciencia sobre la violencia doméstica.

Al mes siguiente, la policía de Surrey forzó la entrada en la casa de Caroline Farrow, una madre de cinco hijos y abiertamente contraria a la ideología de género, después de que su actividad en las redes sociales fuera denunciada. La policía ya había investigado a Farrow en 2019 por “malgenerizar” a un hombre que se dice trans en Twitter.

Dos mujeres australianas acusadas de infringir la ley por criticar a un hombre que se dice trans por amamantar a su hijo.

Reduxx ha sabido que dos mujeres de Australia han recibido avisos de Twitter informándolas de que han infringido la ley australiana por tuitear sobre un varón que se dice trans que ha estado amamantando a un niño.

Twitter se puso en contacto con Jasmine Sussex y Standing For Women Queensland (SFWQ) el 16 de mayo, e informó a las dos cuentas de que el contenido específico que habían publicado iba a ser censurado a los usuarios australianos para cumplir con la legislación australiana.

Twitter envió dos correos electrónicos a cada usuaria, el primero explicando que la plataforma había recibido “correspondencia oficial” de una “entidad gubernamental o agencia del orden público” que afirmaba que su contenido había violado la legislación australiana. Poco después se envió un segundo correo electrónico a cada usuaria para avisarlas de que iban a esconder el contenido en Australia.

A Sussex se le ocultó un tuit, mientras que a SFWQ se le censuraron cinco tuits en total. Todo el contenido se refería a un hombre australiano que se dice trans y que el año pasado provocó fuertes críticas tras declarar públicamente que se había inducido la lactancia y estaba amamantando a su propio hijo biológico.

En declaraciones a Reduxx, Sussex explicó que se sintió horrorizada cuando recibió por primera vez la notificación de Twitter.

“Me horrorizó que se afirmara que infringía la legislación australiana criticar lo que yo y la mayoría de los australianos consideramos un experimento cruel y médicamente peligroso con recién nacidos”, declaró Sussex.

Sussex es una veterana defensora de las madres lactantes, y en 2021 fue despedida como asesora voluntaria de lactancia tras oponerse a la adopción de un lenguaje de “género neutro” en la atención a la lactancia.

Al año siguiente, Sussex fue expulsada de la Asociación Australiana de Lactancia Materna (ABA) tras 18 años de afiliación.

Jasmine Sussex.

“Me despidieron por … ‘Participar en controversias sectarias’, infringiendo los estatutos de la ABA”, explica. “En otras palabras, seguir hablando de los peligros de la ideología de identidad de género para madres y bebés, incluyendo cómo los hombres estaban forzando su entrada en la relación de lactancia al intentar inducir la lactancia”

Pero fue cuando aún era miembro de la ABA que Sussex se topó por primera vez con Jennifer Buckley, un varón que se dice trans que había empezado a participar en debates sobre maternidad en la página de Facebook de la ABA.

Buckley, que comenzó su “transición” en 2017, se indujo la lactancia por primera vez en 2019 en un intento de amamantar a su hijo biológico después de que su esposa diera a luz. El paramédico de 41 años dijo que quería “experimentar lo que era ser mamá y amamantar”.

Pero a Sussex le inquietó su decisión, y fue testigo de cómo participaba en debates sobre maternidad en el Facebook de ABA.

“Buckley [había estado] presumiendo de hacer ‘calostro’ para su hijo recién nacido como ‘madre’ transgénero. No le respondí directamente… pero sí planteé a la ABA que los consejeros de la ABA tienen derecho a un lugar de trabajo seguro y que lo que parecía ser un hombre que se identificaba como mujer estaba en la página jactándose de hacer el calostro. Sólo la madre biológica hace el calostro”, explica Sussex, señalando que fue rápidamente sancionada por plantear sus preocupaciones sobre él.

Jennifer Buckley, un varón trans identificado que “amamanta” a su hijo.

“Me bloquearon de la página [de Facebook] y me enviaron un correo electrónico esa misma tarde diciendo que era una violación de nuestro código de conducta/ética por mi parte plantear siquiera esto como una cuestión de salud y seguridad en el lugar de trabajo a la ABA”.

Sussex afirma que al día siguiente recibió un correo electrónico del Director Nacional de Formación de la ABA en el que la echaban del servicio de la Línea Nacional de Ayuda a la Lactancia Materna Financiada por el Gobierno.

En mayo del año pasado, Sussex intentó apelar a la junta de la ABA sobre por qué no debía ser expulsada, haciendo referencia directa a sus preocupaciones acerca de Buckley.

“Planteé mis dudas porque me parecía un peligroso experimento médico con seres humanos, y por cuestiones de seguridad para los asesores y las madres lactantes y sus bebés. También dije que el apoyo a los padres que amamantan para afirmar su identidad de género es antitético a la labor de la ABA en el apoyo a su primera y única prioridad según el código de ética y la constitución: la relación entre la madre lactante y el bebé “.

El intento de Sussex de convencer a la junta de que le devolviera la condición de miembro ha sido hasta ahora infructuoso. Pero desde entonces, Sussex ha tenido múltiples interacciones con Buckley a través de las redes sociales.

El 12 de mayo, Standing for Women Queensland publicó en Twitter que la Asociación Australiana de Lactancia Materna había recibido 20.000 dólares de un grupo de presión LGBTQ para crear un folleto educativo sobre la “lactancia pectoral”.

La organización escribió: “El beneficio antes que la ética y la protección de bebés y madres. Los bebés están siendo utilizados como accesorios para la perversión masculina”.

Para enfatizar su punto de vista, Standing For Women Queensland publicó una captura de pantalla de un artículo del Daily Mail de mayo de 2022 en el que se describía la decisión de Buckley de inducir la lactancia y amamantar a su hijo. El Daily Mail redactó completamente el artículo a finales de 2022 después de que Buckley se quejara de cómo sale representado, pero todavía existen versiones archivadas del mismo.

En respuesta al tuit de SFWQ, Sussex contestó con un enlace a otro artículo con más información sobre Buckley, escribiendo: “Esta es la delirante teoría queer de Buckley sobre su experiencia ‘amamantando’. El lado positivo de este horrible comienzo de la vida del bebé Auden es que fue alimentado casi exclusivamente con leche artificial gracias a su madre”.

Días después, tanto SFWQ como Sussex recibieron avisos de Twitter en los que se les informaba que una entidad oficial alegaba que habían infringido la legislación australiana por los tuits, y que el contenido sería restringido en Australia.

A SFWQ también se le censuraron otros cinco tuits del 5 de mayo, en todos los cuales aparecían capturas de pantalla del artículo del Daily Mail sobre Buckley, ahora eliminado.

Copia del segundo correo electrónico enviado por Twitter a Standing for Women Queensland. Facilitado a Reduxx.

Aunque en los avisos enviados por Twitter no se especificaba qué gobierno u organismo encargado de hacer cumplir la ley había exigido la censura, Sussex afirma que tiene “fundadas sospechas” de que fue la oficina del Comisionado de Seguridad Electrónica, o eSafety.

El Comisionado es una rama del gobierno australiano dedicada a combatir el “ciberacoso”, pero recientemente ha sido objeto de críticas generalizadas por utilizar su poder para censurar a medios de comunicación, sitios web y personas a instancias de los transactivistas.

A principios de este mes, el Comisionado de eSafety se puso en contacto con Reduxx y le avisó que censurara o suprimiera un artículo en el que se nombraba al transactivista Riley Dennis como objeto de una denuncia tras haber lesionado supuestamente a jugadoras durante un partido de fútbol femenino. Tras la publicación del artículo, el Comisionado de eSafety se puso en contacto con Twitter y le aconsejó que retuviera el contenido en cumplimiento de la legislación australiana.

Ovarit, una alternativa pro-mujer a Reddit, así como una activista crítica con la ideología de género, también fueron contactados por el Comisionado de eSafety (artículo en español) al mismo tiempo.

Sussex ha presentado una solicitud de libertad de información al Comisionado de eSafety para determinar concretamente si fueron ellos “el gobierno u organismo de seguridad del estado” detrás de la censura, pero no prevé una respuesta hasta dentro de semanas, si no meses.

Reduxx también se puso en contacto con el Comisionado de eSafety para preguntarle sobre la acción de Twitter contra Sussex y Standing for Women Queensland, pero le dijeron que el departamento no iba a hacer comentarios sobre casos individuales.

Leah Whiston, la miembro de Standing for Women Queensland que gestiona su cuenta oficial de Twitter, admite que se quedó “estupefacta” cuando recibió el aviso de que sus mensajes sobre Buckley habían infringido la legislación australiana.

Leah Whiston, de Standing for Women Queensland, durante un reciente Periodo de Preguntas Feministas.

“Veo que las mujeres son silenciadas todo el tiempo por denunciar los abusos a menores. El maltrato infantil parece haberse normalizado totalmente”, afirma Whiston.

A diferencia de Sussex, Whiston no sabía de la existencia de Buckley hasta hace unos meses, cuando una amiga le contó la historia del Daily Mail. No hace mucho, Sussex se puso en contacto con Whiston sobre el tema y le dio más información.

“Estoy horrorizada desde entonces. Principalmente preocupada por la seguridad de su mujer y su hijo”, explica Whiston, señalando que nunca ha interactuado personalmente con Buckley.

“Siendo yo misma madre primeriza, comprendo la importancia del vínculo de lactancia entre madre y bebé de una forma que no comprendía antes de embarcarme yo misma en ello… Todavía estoy incrédula por lo que ha ocurrido con Buckley y su bebé y por cómo se ha permitido que esto ocurra”, dice Whiston.

“Estoy embarazada de nuevo y esto me ha hecho perder la fe en las instituciones a las que probablemente vuelva a recurrir, especialmente la Asociación Australiana de Lactancia Materna. Me pregunto cómo diablos puedo confiar en las personas que se supone que deben proporcionar cuidados éticos y salvaguardias a las madres y los bebés, si defienden que los hombres utilicen a los bebés como accesorios para sus fetiches sexuales, y silencian a las mujeres que denuncian lo malo que es todo esto”.

Sussex comparte esta opinión y añade, desde su experiencia como asesora en lactancia materna, que los hombres que intentan amamantar a bebés son “biológica y psicológicamente peligrosos” para todos los implicados.

“Los hombres que codician de este modo la fisiología femenina sufren, en mi opinión, un grave delirio o están sexualmente motivados por la idea de verse a sí mismos como mujeres lactantes”, afirma Sussex. “No hay pruebas de que las secreciones inducidas por fármacos de un pezón masculino sean en modo alguno equivalentes a la leche materna. Es más probable que las secreciones sean parecidas a la galactorea, que se produce cuando la hipófisis libera niveles anormales de prolactina en mujeres que no están embarazadas o en varones con enfermedades.”

A pesar de la persistente amenaza de nuevas repercusiones, ni Sussex ni Whiston se sienten disuadidas de seguir denunciando el tema.

“No creo haber infringido ninguna ley australiana. Creo que esto se ha hecho como una forma de intentar asustarme”, dijo Whiston a Reduxx. “Lo único que voy a hacer es seguir hablando de lo perverso que es que los hombres utilicen a los bebés como accesorios para sus fetiches sexuales”.

Sussex se hizo eco de su opinión, añadiendo: “No dejaré de hablar de los incalculables peligros de la ideología de la identidad de género para las mujeres, los niños y las personas atraídas por el mismo sexo”.

A principios de este mes, Reduxx supo que una mujer australiana (artículo en español) que había criticado la participación de un varón que se dice trans en un equipo deportivo femenino, había recibido de la policía una Orden de Detención por Violencia (AVO).

Kirralie Smith, portavoz de una organización dedicada a combatir la ideología de género, recurrirá la orden ante los tribunales a finales de este mes. Si el tribunal decide que la AVO está justificada y que ella ha realizado actos que incumplen la orden, Smith podría ser acusada de delitos penales. Antes de que se le impusiera la orden, el Comisionado de eSafety censuró el contenido de Facebook de Smith.

Un sádico pederasta que se dice trans demanda al Departamento Penitenciario de Nueva Jersey por “discriminación” de brujería

By
Jennifer Sieland
-

Un pederasta que se dice trans y que cumple actualmente una larga condena en la única prisión de mujeres de Nueva Jersey, ha presentado una demanda contra el Departamento Penitenciario de Nueva Jersey (NJDOC), alegando que su religión Wicca está siendo discriminada.

Marina Volz, de 34 años, presentó la demanda el 28 de abril, alegando que se le niegan las adaptaciones religiosas necesarias de acuerdo con sus creencias wiccanas. La Wicca se clasifica a menudo como un nuevo movimiento religioso, que se estableció en Inglaterra a principios del siglo XX y que se basa en un conjunto diverso de creencias paganas.

Volz en 2017 ejerciendo como presidente de la Clark College Queer Association.

En su demanda, Volz alega que Joy Lynch, la jefa de servicios religiosos de Edna Mahan, la prisión de mujeres en la que se encuentra ingresado, ha negado a los wiccanos el uso de una capa holgada utilizada durante las reuniones de “aquelarres de brujas”. El NJDOC acepta la práctica de la Wicca en las prisiones del estado y, al parecer, se permite a los practicantes acceder al artículo que Volz afirma que se le ha negado.

Otros artículos wiccanos permitidos por el NJDOC son el Libro de las Sombras, que contiene instrucciones para rituales mágicos, un pentáculo, incienso, tres velas eléctricas o a pilas y un vaso de zumo de uva como sustituto del vino.

Volz cumple actualmente una condena de 25 años por una serie de horribles delitos sexuales que cometió contra su propia hija de 7 años.

El 6 de mayo de 2022, Volz, nacido Matthew, fue sentenciado por cargos de trata de personas, agresión sexual agravada, conspiración y poner en peligro el bienestar de una menor. Sus cargos se habían derivado de una investigación de 2019 sobre su conducta después de que el Departamento de Protección Infantil de Nueva Jersey tuviera conocimiento de que estaba creando pornografía en una casa donde residía una menor.

Volz, junto con otro hombre que también se dice trans, llamado Ashley Romero, operaba un negocio de “pornografía transgénero” en su casa a través del cual producían y distribuían contenido fetichista.

Se ejecutó una orden de registro en la propiedad tras conocerse que la niña probablemente había estado expuesta a material sexualmente explícito. Posteriormente se incautaron dispositivos electrónicos de la vivienda y tras un examen forense, se encontraron varias fotos y videos sexualmente explícitos de la niña.

Volz estaba separado de la madre de la niña, pero viajó a Oregón con Romero para poner a la pequeña bajo su custodia y transportarla a Nueva Jersey en 2018, donde comenzó a usarla en videos de explotación sexual infantil. Volz puso en marcha su horrible plan de pornografía justo un año después de haber ocupado el cargo de presidente de la Asociación Queer de Clark College.

Algunos de los medios encontrados por la policía mostraban a Romero abusando sexualmente de la niña. Romero vivía en la casa con Volz y otras dos personas, Sean Allen, quien también había abusado sexualmente de ella, y Dulcinea Gnecco, quien actuaba como empleada doméstica.

Durante el juicio, los fiscales le dijeron al juez que la pequeña había sido sometida a “una vorágine de oscuridad” tras ser retirada del cuidado de su madre.

El juez Peter Tober se negó a profundizar en todos los detalles del caso, pero señaló ante el tribunal que la niña había sido sometida a condiciones similares a la tortura, mencionando collares para el cuello, una jaula en el sótano y juguetes sexuales.

“Esto es de una atrocidad, crueldad y depravación extrema”, dijo el juez Tober, afirmando que la niña había sido arrebatada a su madre “únicamente para la gratificación sexual” de otros.

En la cobertura del horrible caso, los medios se refirieron a Volz y Romero fueron como “mujeres” y utilizaron para con ellos pronombres femeninos. También identificaron a Volz como “la madre” de la niña en el Daily Mail y My Central Jersey.

Después de su sentencia en mayo de 2022, Reduxx se enteró de que Romero (artículo en español) había sido enviado inmediatamente al Centro Penitenciario para Mujeres Edna Mahan, pero que Volz había sido inicialmente llevado a la Prisión Estatal de South Woods para hombres. Apenas dos meses después, Volz fue trasladado discretamente a Edna Mahan, pero siguió registrado como recluso “varón” hasta este año, cuando el estado de Nueva Jersey actualizó su perfil para clasificarlo como recluso “de sexo femenino” (artículo en español).

Volz ya había demandado anteriormente a la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Somerset, alegando discriminación por razón de su identidad de género mientras era procesado después de su detención inicial.

Según documentos judiciales revisados por Reduxx, Volz fue puesto bajo custodia de protección en el módulo masculino de la cárcel del condado de Somerset antes de su juicio por el abuso sexual de su hija. No sería trasladado al módulo femenino hasta el año siguiente, después de argumentar que se identificaba como “mujer”. El caso se resolvió fuera de los tribunales por 5,000 dólares.

El año pasado, Reduxx habló con varias reclusas (artículo en español) del centro que expresaron ansiedad y miedo por la presencia de los reclusos varones en sus espacios.

Miseka Diggs (artículo en español), una mujer encarcelada en Edna Mahan, explicó que las reclusas estaban “muertas de miedo” por culpa de esos hombres. Según la política actual, los hombres no necesitan someterse a ninguna intervención quirúrgica, y Diggs afirma que la mayoría de ellos no reciben terapia de reemplazo hormonal. Dice que la mayoría de las mujeres encarceladas en Edna Mahan han sufrido traumas en el pasado, y muchas de ellas son víctimas de violencia machista, y que la presencia de hombres en el centro les causa una gran angustia.

Según Diggs, las mujeres que se quejan de sentirse inseguras son puestas bajo custodia protectora.

“No podemos expresar nuestros sentimientos por miedo a que nos pongan bajo custodia protectora, [que] es como estar encerradas. Si usas las palabras equivocadas, te sacan de tus dependencias. Muchas mujeres andan por ahí con miedo”, dijo Diggs.

“Nos sentimos parte de una broma de mal gusto. Es una pesadilla de la que no podemos despertar”, agregó. “Las mujeres aquí estamos siendo traumatizadas una y otra vez y parece como si a nadie le importaran nuestras necesidades. Nos sentimos ciudadanas de segunda sin derechos”.

Otra reclusa, Dawn Jackson, expresó preocupaciones similares (artículo en español). Jackson es sobreviviente de los abusos sexuales que sufrió toda su vida, y explicó que la presencia de hombres en el centro le causaba ansiedad.

“Personalmente, he llegado a un punto en el que mental y emocionalmente me acobardo cuando estoy en presencia de algunos de los hombres que se dicen trans alojados aquí en prisión conmigo”, dice Jackson, “He tenido que reorganizarme mentalmente puesto que no tengo otra opción … al estar obligada a vivir entre personas del sexo opuesto”.

Como reveló recientemente Reduxx, las políticas del estado de Nueva Jersey sobre la autoidentificación de género en las cárceles fueron en gran medida el resultado de un acuerdo alcanzado entre la ACLU y el Departamento de Instituciones Penitenciarias en 2021.

La demanda presentada por la ACLU fue en nombre de un recluso transgénero que solicitó el traslado pero se le había negado. Se había guardado el anonimato de ese recluso en los registros judiciales, en los que se referían a él solo como “Sonia Doe”. Reduxx más tarde se enteró de que Doe era de hecho Danielle Demers (artículo en español).

Nacido Daniel Smith, Demers fue investigado por la Fuerza de Tarea Conjunta contra el Terrorismo del FBI y la Fiscalía del Condado de Atlantic por intentar vender municiones y bombas de tubo. Demers es miembro de la comunidad de “bebés adultos”, en la que hombres juegan a ser niños durante sus encuentros sexuales.

Woman Abused By Trans-Identified Male Contacted By Police After “Misgendering” Non-Binary Patient While In Hospital

By
Reduxx and The Publica
-

This is an exclusive joint report brought to you by Reduxx and The Publica.

A UK woman has been summoned for an interview by Derbyshire Police over alleged “transphobic” behavior during her hospital stay at Chesterfield Royal Hospital.

Toni Smith* says she received the notice just after being released from the hospital’s mental health unit where she had been seeking treatment following a traumatic episode related to her past abuse by a trans-identified male.

Speaking to Reduxx and The Publica for an exclusive joint report, Smith explained that she was voluntarily admitted to Chesterfield’s Herrington Unit in January after contacting emergency services herself and explaining that she had self-harmed.

Smith is a survivor of repeat sexual and physical abuse — abuse she says she suffered at the hands of her transgender ex-boyfriend.

“When we met, he was a bodybuilder. His biceps were bigger than my head. I’d never met anyone as big as him.” Smith says, explaining that the two became an item in 2017. 

Just over one year into the relationship, Smith says she discovered that her partner had a proclivity for wearing women’s clothing and expressed a desire to transition.

“It completely blindsided me. I had thought for a while that he had [body] issues… at first, a lot of the habits he had were similar to the issues my body dysmorphia caused me. So I thought it was similar.” 

Smith notes that while she was not hostile to her boyfriend’s decision, she was not interested in affirming his declaration.

Given the gender ideology debate was still far-removed from mainstream popularity at the time, Smith says she had never given too much thought to the politics surrounding transgenderism 

However, her feelings about her partner’s “transition” were mixed.

“I knew straight away that I would not stay in the relationship. But I felt sorry for him, I wanted to help him feel comfortable with whatever life he was living, and I thought we could part as friends after that.” 

But it wasn’t long after that Smith says her partner became physically abusive towards her and their disagreements would often turn violent.

“He abused me horrifically,” Smith alleges. “One time, he sat on my chest and strangled me until I passed out.” 

The violent altercation resulted in police intervention. At first, Smith’s boyfriend claimed she had been abusive towards him. But later, Smith says he tried to blame it on his gender identity issues.

“He told me that the reason he’d strangled me and was so horrible was because he was jealous of me,” she explained.

Smith says the abuse continued to escalate, with her boyfriend’s gender identity becoming a catalyst for the continued deterioration of the relationship and her mental health.

“He would take my make-up and accuse me of cheating. He controlled the money but would message his family claiming I was spending it on myself or drugs. He also began coercing me into having sex with other men for money,” Smith says, explaining that “at first” he didn’t force her, but would instead invite men over and put her on the spot.

“One of them, near the end, injured me quite badly. [My partner] knew it was too much because it was the last time he made me do it. I think with others he told himself he wasn’t abusing me because I eventually gave in. He thinks that’s consent,” Smith says. “There was a lot of blood. I started getting pains after that low down in my stomach. After I left him one day I collapsed and started convulsing and the hospital found my birth control coil had been dislodged and was basically stabbing into my cervix and embedding in the inside of it.”

Smith provided Reduxx and The Publica a number of covert videos she had recorded while in the relationship. In one, he admitted to spraying a household cleaning disinfectant down her throat because she accidentally got facial toner on him while she was spritzing it on her face. 

In another video from April of 2020, Smith captured an interaction with her partner, who is seen wearing long red-dyed hair and pink pajama pants, becoming angry at her for singing in the bedroom — something Smith says she was doing to block out the verbal abuse he had been directing at her.

The interaction ends with him storming out to shut the house’s electricity off, leaving Smith in pitch-black darkness while he calls her “abusive.” 

Smith alleges that after she stopped recording to go turn the electricity back on, he kicked her into a wall.

Disturbingly, Smith says her partner then reported her for a “hate crime” for not sufficiently affirming his gender identity — something she says had happened multiple times before in their relationship. 

Police attended the residence, but classified it as a simple domestic dispute with no intervention needed.

The next day, Smith decided to end the relationship.

“The day I left, I was begging him to get help. He told me he wouldn’t … so my friend called me a taxi and I left. I went up to the north of England, at which point I suppose he realized I was not actually going to come back to him. He started threatening to kill himself unless I did, but I refused.”

Over the coming week, police contacted Smith with questions about the relationship, clearly concerned about the distressing number of calls that had come out of the residence over time. 

Smith finally opened up to officers about the abuse after the relationship ended. Merseyside Police arranged for her to record a video statement, and Derbyshire Police took over the case.

In June of 2020, two months after Smith left, her ex was arrested while police investigated Smith’s claims of having been sex trafficked by him.

“The reason it took them so long between my statement and arresting him was because they went through every report he’d made against me. He’d been reporting me without my knowledge and there were so many reports it took them a couple of weeks to make sure they’d closed all of his, which they said they now regarded as malicious and false,” Smith explained.

Reduxx and The Publica reviewed communications exchanged between Smith and a constable with the Derbyshire Police, in which “she/her” pronouns were used for her abuser.

Two emails sent by the constable to Smith regarding investigation into her partner. 

No charges were ultimately pursued and minimal details were provided to Smith on why that decision had been reached.

“[The constable] came and said that his superior felt there wasn’t enough evidence and refused to even ask the crown prosecution service for a decision. He just closed it with no further action.”

Though Smith expresses her relief that the relationship had ended, she continued to struggle with her mental health even after the break-up. 

She experienced depressive episodes, self-harm, and severe anxiety. At times, Smith says she was scared to leave the house out of fear she would see one of the men who had been apart of the sexual abuse she endured while with her ex.

In January of 2023, Smith says she had a severe self-harming episode, and contacted her local hospital for help. 

She was directed to the emergency room at Chesterfield Hospital due to a lack of space, and was ultimately admitted to the Hartington Unit, the hospital’s psychiatric facility. Smith was placed in the female section for treatment, where she would spend the next few weeks rehabilitating. 

While there, Smith befriended a few other female patients in the unit — one of which, unbeknownst to Smith, identified as non-binary.

“There was no mention of her being non-binary. I didn’t know. I had heard her make a comment about another patient, saying that she was ‘transphobic and no mental illness causes that,’ which I thought was strange,” Smith says, continuing: “But there was no mention of her identity specifically. She seemed to be on a low-end of having a mental illness and was very functional.”

While the two had an amicable relationship at first, things went downhill after the non-binary individual overheard Smith discussing her ex-partner with another patient.

“She heard me talking to this other lady in the common area … I was opening about my ex and mentioned he was transgender,” Smith explained. She says that after she came in from an evening cigarette break, the non-binary patient was “screaming at the top of her lungs” about trans rights.

“She was standing in the communal area, shouting ‘trans women are women,’” Smith says. “She was shouting it. This wasn’t a private conversation.”

Smith explains she immediately perceived the outburst as being directed at her, and approached the young woman to relay her own experience.

“I told her, ‘go and get raped by one and tell me how much of a woman they are,’” Smith says. “I didn’t shout at her, and then I walked off and went to bed.”

It was the next day that the incident occurred which was ultimately reported to police.

“I got into an argument with a nurse who kept insisting the shouting patient was non-binary, not female. That gaslighting affects me in a strange way, because of my experience. [The nurse] told me, ‘they’re not a woman,’ and I said, ‘yes she is, she’s on a women’s ward, for a start.’”

Smith says she got very upset, and the non-binary patient overheard the conversation and began shouting from another area, recognizing the conversation had been about her.

Smith’s new partner would later call the hospital to complain about the nurse’s conduct, concerned that they had caused her emotional distress.

“We could not work out how this hospital was, on one hand, supposed to treat me for my trauma which they understood was caused by a transgender male, and on the other, argue with me that a woman was not a woman.”

Smith says the incident made her  want to leave the hospital because she felt increasingly distrustful of the staff. 

She was discharged at the end of February, and, approximately one month later, was issued a notice from Derbyshire Police informing her she was required to attend the station for a formal interview.

In the letter, police explain Smith was alleged to have “performed a public order offense” in which she “directed words deemed offensive towards another individual on the ward.” 

The date on the letter corresponds with the conversation Smith had with the nurse in the kitchen about the non-binary patient.

Smith explained that she was incredulous about the letter, taking particular issue with the fact police issued it despite knowing she had been a patient on a psychiatric ward receiving treatment for her mental health.

“This specific thing does not frighten me. I know they won’t be able to prosecute me. I know the law well enough… but the fact that the police are able to harass women because of their speech is frightening,” Smith says. “There’s nothing I said that is criminal. But it does worry me that they are doing this to women.”

Reduxx and The Publica reached out to Derbyshire Police for comment but did not receive a response to the inquiry.

In the interim, Smith says she has no intention of contacting police, noting that they have her contact information but have yet to reach out to establish a date for her station interview.

“If they want me to come down, they know where I am. This whole asking me to be proactive to arrange for my own police interview… I’m not going to do that. I shouldn’t have to.”

Smith only recently became more involved in discussions surrounding gender identity through online communities, seeking support for her past experience having been abused by a trans-identified male.

“This whole movement… it’s a misogynistic men’s movement, I feel. It has nothing to do with ‘trans rights.’ They’re going after vulnerable women, and demanding we change the way we see the world.”

Disturbingly, Smith is not the first woman in the United Kingdom to face police intervention after “offending” a transgender individual.

In January of this year, a disabled woman in South Wales had her home searched and was subjected to police detention after being reported for committing a “transphobic hate crime” for putting up stickers raising awareness about domestic violence. 

The next month, Caroline Farrow, a mother of five who has been outspoken against gender ideology, had her house forced into by Surrey Police after her social media activity was reported as criminal. Farrow had previously been investigated by police in 2019 for misgendering a trans-identified male on Twitter.

*Smith’s surname has been changed to protect her identity.

Sadistic Transgender Pedophile Sues New Jersey Corrections Over Witchcraft “Discrimination”

By
Jennifer Sieland
-

A transgender pedophile currently serving a lengthy sentence at New Jersey’s only women’s prison has filed a lawsuit against the New Jersey Department of Corrections (NJDOC), claiming his Wiccan religion is being discriminated against.

Marina Volz, 34, filed the suit on April 28, claiming he is being denied religious accommodations in accordance with his Wiccan beliefs. Wicca is often classified as a new religious movement, having been established in England in the early 20th century, drawing upon a diverse set of Pagan beliefs.

Volz in 2017 serving as the Clark College Queer Association president.

In his lawsuit, Volz alleges that Joy Lynch, the head of religious services at Edna Mahan, has denied the Wiccans the use of a loosely fitting cloak used during “witch coven” gatherings. The NJDOC permits the practice of Wicca in the state’s prisons, and practitioners are reportedly allowed to access the item Volz is claiming he has been denied.

Other Wiccan items allowed by the NJDOC include the Book of Shadows, which contains instructions for magical rituals, a pentacle, incense, three electric or battery-operated candles, and a cup of grape juice as a substitute for wine.

Volz is currently serving a 25-year sentence for a number of horrific sexual crimes he committed against his own 7-year-old daughter.

On May 6 of 2022, Volz, born Matthew, was sentenced on charges of human trafficking, aggravated sexual assault, conspiracy and endangering the welfare of a child. His charges had stemmed from a 2019 investigation into his conduct after the New Jersey Department of Child Protection became aware he was creating pornography in a home where a child resided.

Volz, along with another trans-identified male named Ashley Romero, had operated a “transgender porn” business in their home through which they produced and distributed fetish content.

A search warrant was executed at the property after it was learned that the child had likely been exposed to sexually explicit material. Electronic devices from the home were subsequently seized, and several sexually-explicit photos and videos of the girl were found after forensic examination.

Volz had been separated from the child’s mother, but traveled to Oregon with Romero to take the child into his custody and transport her to New Jersey in 2018 where he began using her in child sexual exploitation videos. Volz’s horrific pornography scheme was launched just one year after he had served as the Clark College Queer Association president.

Some of the media found by police featured Romero sexually abusing the girl. Romero lived in the residence with Volz and with two other individuals, Sean Allen, who had also sexually abused the girl, and Dulcinea Gnecco, who acted as a domestic servant.

During the trial, prosecutors told the Judge the little girl had been subjected to “a vortex of darkness” after being removed from her mother’s care.

Judge Peter Tober declined to delve into the full details of the case, but noted to the court that she had been subjected to torture-like conditions, mentioning neck collars, a cage in the basement, and sex toys.

“If this was not heinous, cruel and depraved, I don’t know what is,” Judge Tober said, stating that the girl had been taken from her mother “solely for the sexual gratification” of others.

In media coverage of the horrific case, Volz and Romero were referred to as “women” and were addressed using “she/her” pronouns. Volz was also identified as the girl’s “mother” in the Daily Mail and My Central Jersey.

After their sentencing in May of 2022, Reduxx learned that Romero had immediately been sent to the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women, but that Volz had initially been placed in the South Woods State Prison for men. Just two months later, Volz was quietly transferred to Edna Mahan but was still recorded as a “male” inmate until this year, when the state of New Jersey updated his inmate profile to classify him as a “female” inmate.

Volz had previously sued the Somerset County Sheriff’s Office, claiming discrimination on the basis of his gender identity while being processed following his initial arrest.

According to court documents reviewed by Reduxx, Volz was placed in protective custody in the male unit of the Somerset County Jail prior to his trial for the sexual abuse of his daughter. He would not be moved to the female unit until the next year, after arguing he identified as “female.” The case was settled out of court for $5,000.

Last year, Reduxx spoke to multiple female inmates at the facility who expressed anxiety and fear about the presence of the male inmates in their close quarters.

Miseka Diggs, an incarcerated woman at Edna Mahan, explained that the female inmates were “scared to death” of the men. Under the current policy, the men do not need to undergo any surgery, and Diggs asserts that most of the men are not on hormone replacement therapy. She stated that a majority of women incarcerated at Edna Mahan have past trauma, with many being victims of male violence, and the presence of men in the facility is causing them severe distress. 

According to Diggs, women who complain of feeling unsafe are placed in protective custody.

“We can’t express our feelings in fear of being put in protective custody, [which] is like lock-up. If you use the wrong words you will be uprooted and removed from your living quarters. So many women walk around in fear,” Diggs said.

“We feel like we are part of some sick joke. This is a nightmare that we can’t wake up from,” she added. “The women here are traumatized over and over again and it seems as if no one cares about our needs. We feel like second-class citizens with no rights.”

Another female inmate, Dawn Jackson, expressed similar concerns. Jackson is a survivor of lifelong sexual abuse, and explained that the presence of males in the facility caused her anxiety.

“Personally speaking, I have succumbed to a point where I mentally and emotionally cower when in the presence of some of the trans-identified males housed here in prison with me,” Jackson says, “I’ve had to mentally rearrange myself since having no choice… being subjected to live amongst the opposite sex.”

As recently revealed by Reduxx, the state of New Jersey’s policies on gender self-identification in prisons was largely the result of a settlement reached between the ACLU and the Department of Corrections in 2021.

The lawsuit the ACLU launched was on behalf of a transgender male inmate who sought transfer but had been denied. That inmate was anonymized in court records, referred to only as “Sonia Doe.” Reduxx later learned that Doe was in fact Danielle Demers.

Born Daniel Smith, Demers was investigated by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office for attempting to sell ammunition and pipe bombs. Demers is a member of the “adult baby” community, in which adults role-play as children during sexual encounters.

Texas Pedophile Deemed “Sexually Violent Predator” Now Identifies As A Woman

By
Reduxx Team

A deranged pedophile who sexually abused four young children has been deemed a sexually violent predator by the state of Texas and sent to indefinite civil commitment following his release from prison.

James Edward Jarvis, 59, was sentenced in 1999 and 2000 for a string of violent sexual crimes committed across three counties in Texas. The seven total counts Jarvis was convicted for involved four victims under the age of 14.

For his crimes, which included aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child, Jarvis was sentenced to a total of 40 years in prison with the possibility of parole after 24 years.

Jarvis was released from prison early, but quickly hauled before a Galveston county court on a bench warrant for an evaluation of his status under the Texas Sexually Violent Predator Law.

According to the Law, a repeat sex offender may be subject to civil commitment “if a jury finds that the person has been convicted of more than one sexually violent offense; a sentence was imposed for at least one offense; and the person has a behavioral abnormality that makes the person likely to engage in an act of predatory sexual violence.”

During the hearing, multiple experts testified that Jarvis was a danger to the community and at high-risk of reoffending.

According to ABC13, Dr. Michael Arambula, a psychiatrist, told the court that Jarvis was “one of the worst” sex offenders he had ever seen. Special Prosecutor Marc Gault also argued to the jury that Jarvis’ pedophilia and antisocial personality traits were a dangerous combination that made him a high-risk sexual predator.

Despite his multiple convictions, Jarvis reportedly denied that he ever committed wrongdoing. He also declared that he now identifies as a “woman,” but his sex marker has not yet been updated in the Texas Department of Corrections system.

On Wednesday, a jury found that Jarvis met the requirements to be classified as a sexually violent predator, and he was ordered to civil commitment. Jarvis has now been placed in the custody of the Texas Civil Commitment Office for treatment at a special facility in Littlefield.

The controversial facility exists with the purported intention of rehabilitating serial sex offenders deemed too high-risk to be allowed to reintegrate into the community, but is often seen as a way for authorities to keep repeat sexual predators off the streets. Civil commitment is indefinite, but Jarvis is set to be re-evaluated every two years. He has the right to challenge the court for release at any time.

if Jarvis undergoes a legal gender change, he would be the only known “woman” deemed a sexually violent predator and civilly committed in the state of Texas.

Hombre que se dice trans demanda a la Federación de Rugby de Inglaterra y exige el derecho de los hombres a jugar en equipos femeninos

Un hombre que se dice trans y que se hace llamar Julie-Anne Curtiss ha demandado a la Unión de Rugby de Inglaterra (RFU) por su decisión de prohibir a los hombres jugar en la categoría femenina. Curtiss alega que la política de la RFU vulnera la Ley de Igualdad de 2010 y sus derechos humanos.

La semana pasada, la directora ejecutiva de Stonewall UK, Nancy Kelley, promovió públicamente un crowdfunder para la batalla legal de Curtiss contra la RFU y dijo: “Si puedes, apoya [a Curtiss] en su lucha por un rugby inclusivo #MakeSportEveryonesGame”.

En la descripción de su recaudación de fondos, Curtiss contó que comenzó su “transición” en 2016 y que es percibido “como mujer” por sus “amigas, colegas, seres queridos y, lo más relevante, por [sus] compañeras de equipo de rugby femenino”.

Curtiss escribe: “Las mujeres trans vienen en todas formas, tamaños y niveles de habilidad, al igual que las mujeres cisgénero”, en un aparente esfuerzo por comparar a las mujeres de cuerpo más grande con los hombres. Continúa: “La nueva política de la RFU carece de matices y ha decidido excluir a todas las mujeres trans. Es difícil ver cómo este enfoque generalista puede ser ‘necesario'”.

Curtiss califica la política de la RFU de excluir a los hombres del deporte femenino de “injusticia” y pide ayuda a los lectores para sufragar los gastos legales y las “pruebas periciales”.

En el momento de escribir este artículo, se habían recaudado 6,550 euros (aproximadamente 7,000 $) de un objetivo de 20,000 euros (aproximadamente 21,500 $).

Curtiss lleva varios años publicando un blog personal, donde escribe que ha tenido el fetiche del travestismo desde que era niño, y que este fetiche era algo que afectó su capacidad para conservar tanto trabajos, como matrimonios.

En un post, dice que su deseo de convertirse en una niña podría explicarse en parte por el hecho de que “el lado de las niñas de [su] escuela me parecía más ‘pacífico’ y ciertamente menos abiertamente agresivo”.

Agregó que a los ocho años se vestía con la ropa de sus hermanas y “me encantaba su suavidad y me hacía sentir algo profundamente emocional por dentro”.

En otro post, Curtiss dice: “Nunca quise tener sexo homosexual, pero deseaba fuertemente tener relaciones sexuales con un hombre, como mujer”.

Curtiss admitió que en su juventud, su compulsión por el travestismo era tan fuerte que robaba la ropa de su madrastra. Su madrastra “trataba de lidiar con eso cerrando con llave su vestidor, cosa que [él] solucionó robando y copiando la llave”.

Curtiss dijo: “A pesar de la aparente normalidad de mi vida… Nunca pude superar o deshacerme de este anhelo de ser una niña. Sentía envidia de cómo se vestían las niñas. Me encantaba la idea de poder usar maquillaje, minifaldas y de llevar el pelo largo. Me volvía loco… No quería ser un hombre vestido de niña … Quería SER una niña”.

Continúa compartiendo que de adulto, cuando vivía solo, le gustaba vestirse como quería en casa, “… pero por mucho que lo intentara, siempre me consumía el hecho de que era un hombre travestido, no una mujer”.

Menciona su exposición a la pornografía: “Desgraciadamente, lo único a lo que estaba expuesto era al extraño mundo de los transexuales a través de revistas porno, y tampoco me identificaba con eso. Me parecía que aunque pudiera reasignar mi género, siempre estaría en la periferia de la sociedad, sin poder llevar una vida normal y sin ser considerado una mujer de verdad”.

En mayo de 2016, Curtiss comenzó la exhibición pública de su “feminidad”, escribiendo en su blog que “no parecía especialmente convincente, pero “… por fin me sentí completo por dentro. Desde entonces, en lugar de echarme del trabajo, ¡me han renovado el contrato 6 veces!”

En agosto de 2022, Curtiss comparó el hecho de que a los hombres transidentificados no se les permitiera jugar en el deporte femenino con la Sudáfrica racista, escribiendo: “Muchos se han sorprendido de que conectase este problema con el apartheid de Sudáfrica. Aquí os va una pequeña lección de historia. El régimen del apartheid basaba su ideología en el “hecho”, según ellos, de que las personas de color (POC) eran infrahumanas y, por lo tanto, debían ser tratadas de manera diferente”.

Cutiss borró discretamente el hilo tras recibir una fuerte reacción negativa.

A principios de este año, Curtiss fue entrevistado por ESPN UK, donde anunció su desafío legal a la prohibición de la RFU de incluir jugadores masculinos en la categoría femenina.

En un video, que desde entonces ha sido ampliamente compartido, se ve a Curtiss, que parece un gigante comparado con las atletas femeninas mucho más jóvenes. Afirmó que los críticos que se oponen a los jugadores masculinos en deportes para mujeres y niñas “deben ser arrastrados, pateando y gritando si es necesario”, hasta que se acepten las políticas que favorecen la identidad de género por encima del sexo biológico.

Fue en julio de 2022 cuando la RFU compartió su decisión de revisar su “política de participación de género” y excluir a cualquier persona “registrada como varón al nacer” de participar en el rugby de contacto femenino.

La organización contó que su extenso proceso de revisión y consulta de la política concluyó, con una investigación revisada por pares, que las diferencias físicas entre hombres y mujeres son demasiado marcadas para ignorarlas.

Las “ventajas masculinas en fuerza, resistencia y físico provocadas por la testosterona y la pubertad masculina son significativas y se mantienen incluso después de la supresión de testosterona”, lo que significaba que la RFU no podía justificar que se permitiera a los hombres competir contra las mujeres en condiciones de seguridad y equidad.

Anticipándose a la controversia, su decisión fue acompañada de amplias declaraciones sobre la minuciosidad de la “investigación” que se llevó a cabo para la revisión final de la política de género.

“La RFU reconoce que se trata de una decisión compleja y difícil, y que el cambio de política no se tomó a la ligera ni sin una investigación y una consulta exhaustivas y completas”.

Jeff Blackett, presidente de la RFU, incluso publicó una declaración personal con la decisión: “Me gustaría agradecer a todos la pasión, el tiempo y el esfuerzo que han dedicado a consultarnos e informar sobre esta revisión de la política. La inclusión está en el corazón de los valores del rugby y continuaremos trabajando con todos para seguir escuchando, aprendiendo y buscando formas de demostrar que hay un lugar para todos en nuestro juego. Sabemos que muchos se sentirán decepcionados por esta decisión, pero se ha basado en toda la evidencia científica disponible. Nuestro deporte se puede fortalecer gracias a todos los que participan en él, ya sea entrenando, arbitrando, administrando, apoyando o practicando formas del juego sin contacto”.

Curtiss ha contado que sus abogados enviaron una carta de protocolo de acción previa a la RFU “pidiéndole que explique por qué cree que su nueva política es legal”, y confirmó que la RFU respondió y “parece decidida a defender su política”. Curtiss no hizo pública la carta de respuesta de la RFU por motivos de confidencialidad.

Si bien Curtiss admite que su batalla legal contra la RFU “tiene que centrarse específicamente en cómo la política le ha impactado [a él] personalmente”, espera que esto “influya en el enfoque de la RFU de manera más general” para “todas las mujeres y niñas trans que quiera jugar al rugby de contacto [con mujeres]”.

A principios de este año, la Federación Mundial de Atletismo, el organismo internacional que rige el deporte del atletismo, siguió la decisión de la RFU de prohibir a los hombres competir contra mujeres. Las pautas anteriores de la Federación Mundial de Atletismo permitían a los hombres competir en la división femenina si habían suprimido sus niveles de testosterona por debajo de un determinado umbral, un estándar que los críticos señalaban que era hasta cinco veces superior a la cantidad promedio de la hormona que se encuentra en las mujeres.

Desde entonces, la Federación Mundial de Atletismo ha anunciado que los competidores varones que hayan pasado por la pubertad masculina no podrán competir en las categorías femeninas de las competiciones internacionales.

La FINA, el organismo rector de la natación internacional, también votó a favor de prohibir que los hombres que se dicen trans participen en las competiciones femeninas de élite si habían pasado por la pubertad masculina.

A principios de este año, la Unión Escocesa de Rugby también prohibió a los hombres que se dicen trans competir en el rugby de contacto femenino, alegando la seguridad de las jugadoras.

Two Australian Women Told They Broke The Law After Criticizing Trans-Identified Male Breastfeeding Child

Reduxx has learned that two women in Australia have received notices from Twitter informing them they have broken Australian law after tweeting about a trans-identified male who has been breastfeeding a child.

Jasmine Sussex and Standing For Women Queensland (SFWQ) were both contacted by Twitter on May 16, with the platform informing the two accounts that specific content they had posted would be censored to Australian users in order to comply with Australian law.

Twitter sent two emails to each user, the first explaining that the platform had received “official correspondence” from a “government entity or law enforcement agency” which had claimed that their content had violated Australian law. A second email was sent shortly after to each user advising them that the content was going to be withheld in Australia.

Sussex had one tweet withheld, while SFWQ had five tweets censored in total. All of the content referred to an Australian trans-identified male who sparked backlash last year after publicly declaring he had induced lactation and was breastfeeding his own biological son.

Speaking to Reduxx, Sussex explained that she was horrified when she first received the notice from Twitter.

“I was appalled that it was claimed to be in violation of Australian law to criticize what I and most Australians consider to be a cruel and medically dangerous experiment on newborn babies,” Sussex said.   

Sussex is a veteran advocate for breastfeeding mothers, and found herself fired as a volunteer breastfeeding counselor in 2021 after pushing back against the adoption of “gender neutral” language in breastfeeding care.

The following year, Sussex was removed from the Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) after 18 years of membership.

“I was sacked for. … ‘Engaging in Sectarian Controversy’ in breach of the ABA constitution,” she explains. “In other words, continuing to talk about the dangers of gender identity ideology for mothers and babies, including how men were forcing their way into the breastfeeding relationship by attempting to induce lactation.”

But it was while she was still a member of the ABA that Sussex first came across Jennifer Buckley, a trans-identified male who had begun to participate in motherhood discussions on the ABA’s Facebook page.

Buckley, who began transitioning in 2017, first induced lactation in 2019 in en effort to breastfeed his biological son after his wife gave birth. The 41-year-old paramedic said he had wanted to “experience what it was like to be a mum and breastfeed.”

But Sussex was disturbed by his decision, and had witnessed him participating in motherhood discussions on the ABA Facebook.

“Buckley [had been] boasting about making ‘colostrum’ for his newborn son as a transgender ‘mother.’ I didn’t respond to him directly … but I did raise with the ABA that ABA Counsellors are entitled to a safe workplace and that what appeared to be a man identifying as a woman was on the page boasting about making colostrum. Only the birth mother makes colostrum,” Sussex explains, noting that she was swiftly penalized for raising her concerns about him.

“I was blocked from the [Facebook] page and sent an email that afternoon saying it was a breach of our code of conduct/ethics for me to even raise this as a workplace health and safety issue with the ABA.”

Sussex says that she received an email from the ABA’s National Training Manager the next day removing her from her service on the National Government Funded Breastfeeding Helpline.

In May of last year, Sussex attempted to appeal to the ABA’s board on why she shouldn’t be expelled, directly referencing her concerns with Buckley.

“I raised my concerns as I felt it was a dangerous medical experiment on humans, and due to safeguarding issues for counsellors and breastfeeding mums and babies. I also said that supporting fathers to breastfeed to affirm their gender identities is antithetical to the work of the ABA in supporting its first and only priority as per the code of ethics and constitution – the breastfeeding mother and baby partnership.”

Sussex’s attempt to convince the board to reinstate her membership has so far been unsuccessful. But since then, Sussex has had multiple interactions with Buckley through social media.

On May 12, Standing for Women Queensland posted a Twitter thread on the Australian Breastfeeding Association having received $20,000 from an LGBTQ lobby group to create an educational booklet about “chest feeding.”

The organization wrote: “Profit before ethics & safeguards for babies and mothers. Babies are being used as props for male perversion.”

To emphasize their point, Standing For Women Queensland posted a screenshot from a May 2022 Daily Mail article profiling Buckley’s decision to induce lactation and breastfeed his son. The article was fully redacted by the Daily Mail in late 2022 after Buckley complained about his representation in the piece, but archived versions of the report still exist.

In response to the tweet by SFWQ, Sussex responded with a link to another article featuring more information on Buckley, writing: “This is Buckley’s delusional queer theory take on his experience ‘breastfeeding.’ Silver lining of this awful start to life for baby Auden is that he was almost exclusively formula fed thanks to his mum.”

Days later, both SFWQ and Sussex received notices from Twitter informing them that an official entity was claiming that they had violated Australian law for the tweets, and that the content would be restricted in Australia.

SFWQ also had five additional tweets from May 5 censored, all of which featured screenshots from the now-deleted Daily Mail article on Buckley.

While the notices sent by Twitter did not specify which government or law enforcement agency had demanded the censorship, Sussex says she “strongly suspects” it was the office of the eSafety Commissioner.

The Commissioner is an arm of the Australian government dedicated to combatting “cyber abuse,” but has recently come under widespread criticism for using its power to censor media outlets, websites, and individuals at the behest of trans activists.

Earlier this month, Reduxx was contacted by the eSafety Commissioner and advised to censor or delete an article naming trans activist Riley Dennis as having been the subject of complaint after allegedly injuring female players during a women’s football game. After the article was released, the eSafety Commissioner contacted Twitter and advised them to withhold the content in compliance with Australian law.

Ovarit, a pro-woman Reddit alternative, as well as an individual gender ideology critical activist, were also contacted by the eSafety Commissioner at that time.

Sussex has submitted a Freedom of Information request to the eSafety Commissioner to concretely determine if they were the “government or law enforcement agency” behind the censorship, but does not anticipate a response for weeks, if not months.

Reduxx also reached out to the eSafety Commissioner with questions on the Twitter action against Sussex and Standing for Women Queensland, but was told the office would not comment on individual cases.

Leah Whiston, a member of Standing for Women Queensland who operates their official Twitter account, admits she was “taken aback” when she received the notice advising her that her posts on Buckley had violated Australian law.

“I see that women are silenced all the time now for speaking out about the wrongs of child abuse. Child abuse seems to have been totally normalized these days,” Whiston says.

Unlike Sussex, Whiston had only become aware of Buckley months ago after a friend first informed her about his story in the Daily Mail. More recently, Sussex connected with Whiston on the subject and shared more information.

“I’ve been horrified ever since. Mainly worrying about safety of his wife and child,” Whiston explains, noting that she has never personally interacted with Buckley.

“Being a new mother myself, I understand the importance of the breastfeeding bond between mother and baby in a way I didn’t before I embarked on it myself … I’m still in disbelief about what’s occurred with Buckley and his baby and how this has been allowed to happen,” Whiston says.

“I’m pregnant again, and it has made me lose faith in the institutions that I will likely use again, especially the Australian Breastfeeding Association. It makes me wonder how on earth I can trust the people who are meant to provide ethical care and safeguards to mothers and babies, if they advocate for men to use babies as props for men’s sexual fetishes, and silence the women who speak out about how wrong this all is.”

Sussex shares the sentiment, adding from her expertise as a breastfeeding counselor that men attempting to breastfeed babies is “biologically and psychologically dangerous” for all involved.

“Men who covet female physiology in this way are, in my opinion, either suffering from a serious delusion or sexually motivated by the idea of themselves as lactating women,” Sussex says. “There is no evidence that drug-induced secretions from a male nipple are in any way equivalent to mother’s milk. It is more likely the secretions are akin to galactorea, which occurs when abnormal levels of prolactin are released from the pituitary gland in females who aren’t pregnant or males with disease.”

Despite the lingering threat of further consequence, neither Sussex nor Whiston feel dissuaded from continuing to speak out.

“I don’t believe I have violated any Australian laws. I think this has been done as a way of trying to frighten me,” Whiston told Reduxx. “I don’t plan to do anything apart from keep speaking out about how wrong it obviously is for men to use babies as props for their sexual fetishes.”

Sussex echoed her sentiment, adding: “I will not stop talking about the incalculable dangers of gender identity ideology for women, children and same-sex attracted people.”

Earlier this month, Reduxx learned that an Australian woman who had criticized a transgender male’s participation on a women’s sport team had been handed an Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) by police.

Kirralie Smith, a spokesperson for an organization dedicated to combating gender ideology, will be challenging the order in court later this month. If the court decides that the AVO is justified and that she has taken actions which breach the order, Smith could potentially have criminal charges leveled against her. Prior to being slapped with the AVO, Smith had her content on Facebook censored by the eSafety Commissioner.
