Our little team here have been bringing you weekly updates because we are committed to spreading the word on what is happening despite legacy media’s insidious silencing of women.

We want our subscribers who pledged unsolicited pledges of support to know that we have received your messages, and we are extremely grateful.
Also, we didn’t know before that Susbtack solicited pledge of support. The “Pledge Your Support” button for readers who haven’t subscribe actually appears as “Subscribe” on the backend.

6/9/2023 - Washington judge orders female-only spa with compulsory nudity to admit transgender women with penises, after owner said facility was for 'biological women only' and pre-op trans activist complained

This week, a federal court in Washington ruled in Olympus Spa v. Arm that Olympus Spa, an all-women Korean Spa, the spa's policy violated Washington's ban on gender identity discrimination in public accommodations, and that requiring the spa to admit males didn't violate the Free Exercise Clause, Free Speech Clause, or the right of intimate association. (Yes, the world has gone mad. Women not wanting to be naked with men with penises present is no longer deemed reasonable.) The Olympus Spa has 30 days to refile the case should it chooses to pursue with different arguments.
Please email them and let them know you stand with them. If you’re able, let them know that you will support them should they decide to crowdfund a refiling of the case. They’re a small business, and are also likely to have to close down, or renovate (and change their nudity policy) to stay in business, and can use the money. info_tacoma@olympusspa.net

6/6/2023: Upon swimmer Paula Scanlan breaks her silence! Speaks out on university, Ivy League, and NCAA threat against female athletes and travesty of William aka Lia Thomas competing on women’s team
A UPenn swimmer breaks her silence! In an extensive interview, Paula Scanlan talked in depth about what went down, and how grossly unfair the entire university system failed and threatened its female athletes. Paula previously discussed what happened anonymously in Matt Walsh’s satirical movie, “What is a Woman”.
Incidentally, Walsh’s movie was scheduled to be broadcasted on Twitter for free earlier this week. A lot of drama broke out as Twitter originally agreed to collaborate with The Daily Wire, which produced the film, to promote the broadcast. At the last minute, Twitter rescinded its plan due to two alleged instances of “misgendering” in the film, and required DW to edit the film. DW refused and tweeted about what happened. Backlash ensued, of course. Elon stepped in. Executives at Twitter responsible for “safety” was fired or resigned. The film ultimately was showed for 24 hours for free on Twitter, but retweets and visibility was suppressed. Over 100 million viewers watched it anyway (last we checked and counting).
We at this Substack object to Walsh claiming he is the person originating a “movement” on behalf of women’s rights, and his constant lie that women and feminists are not speaking up. Neither is true, and many have continuously called him out on it. He also support certain conservative ideologies in conflict with women’s rights. We do recognize his movie and podcasts are amplifying the pushback against gender ideology harmful to women under the current wall of silence in liberal media, and his movie may peak regular people more effectively in some instance. His movie is available on the Daily Wire for anyone interested.

6/6/2023 - Target’s LGBTQ+ Pride Marketing May Be ESG Driven
A new societal discussion is rising that two of the USA’s largest (actually, ginormous is more accurate) venture capital investment firms, Blackrock and Vanguard, are the active drivers of ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) activism in corporations. They profit enormously from mutual funds investing into their companies (ie, money from small people all across the country investing in mutual funds and retirement funds), and reinvest other people’s money to not only benefit themselves, but to remake the the country and world to their views. We take no position on any ESG issue one way or another, as that is not our focus. However, we do plan to track what Blackrock and Vanguard are doing to push trans ideology to harm women’s rights. For now, we share this article, and also this podcast episode below from James Lindsay.
The Edinburgh University continues to stall on the screening of the movie “Adult Human Female”.

6/6/2023 - Oxfam International commissioned cartoon to smear JK Rowling and “Terfs”
As part of their Pride Month activities, Oxfam release a video containing a misogynistic and racist cartoon which villifies “Terfs” and illustrated characters which evil looking red eyes, one of which clearly looks like author J.K. Rowling. (Another character looks to be conservative journalist Andy Ago, who has been critical of trans ideology and activists.) The depiction led to backlash and calls to boycott, causing the organization to backtrack and take down the video, and reupload another video and release a lame-ass statement.
6/7/2023- Watchdog considers action over Oxfam cartoon of anti-trans ‘hate groups’
Following the backlash, the UK Charity Commission said it is assessing whether to take action against Oxfam for undermining public trust and confidence in the charity sector.
Oxfam’s devolution into misogyny is not new. Here’s a report from two years ago on Oxfam blaming “privileged white women” as root causes of sexual violence by wanting "bad men" imprisoned. As if violent men themselves are not the cause of sexual violence.
And let’s not forget this is the same Oxfam which employees raped and exploited minor girls in Haiti, the poverty stricken country it purported to be there to “help”.
6/11/2019 - Oxfam failed to act on reports its workers were raping girls as young as 12, damning report concludes
Finally, here’s a personal account on how Oxfam treated a former employee, a woman who dedicated her life to ending violence against women, for the crime of asking for evidence of J.K. Rowling’s “transphobia”. It is another example of the mentally abusive process of the investigation is the punishment.

That’s right. The BBC on a single day interviewed not one, but three men whose behaviour has ranged from dubious to deplorable — Philip Schofield, TikTok star Mizzy and the misogynist Andrew Tate. But gender critical women like Helen Joyce, Suzanne Moore, and Maya Forstater are put on their unofficial blacklist. (The claim there’s no blacklist. Yeah, sure there isn’t.)

News Hightlight: Genderolgy indoctrination in schools drawing ire and protests from immigrants parents
Immigrants parents from coast to coast came out in riotous protests this week against the continual push by schools to indoctrinate children with radical gender ideology.
In Montgomery County, MD, Muslim parents protested against the school district’s new policy to end parental right to opt out of having their children taught using LGBTQ+ inclusive books.
In Glendale, CA, a protest by Armenian parents outside of a school board meeting on LGBTQ32829358478+++++++ issues turned violent when the parents clashed with TrAntifa. Predictably, news reports spin their headlines depending on which political side they’re on. We offer below two articles from both sides with the least inflammatory headlines that convey what the incident was about.

‘Allowing trans athletes to compete as women is a throwback to the dark ages of misogyny’
We leave you today with this amazing, beautiful poem by Brandubh, a 14 y.o girl from Belfast who read this at Kellie-Jay Keen’s Let Women Speak event in Belfast.
Sent my email to the Tacoma spa:
It is terrible news that men have bullied their way in and bent the law to invade women's nude spaces.
This puts all girls and women at risk of men who wish to take sexual advantage under the false guise of ridiculous and unscientific trans ideology.
This recent decision not only harms women's privacy and sanctity but small independent businesses that wish to provide essential services for their customers.
These predatory men harm all business with their litigious manipulations and destabilise and undermine our country's entrepreneurs and business owners.
I hope you can fight this and win on the side of truth.
And may your women customers be safe from harm's way.
A supporter, Lila
I sent an email of support. I also suggested they file a complaint based on Freedom of Religion. Jewish and Muslim women cannot be in any state of undress in the presence of a male. Most Christian women would feel the same way. Also, Gender Ideology is a belief, not a fact. The government is forcing people to follow what is essentially a religious belief that is inconsistent with material reality. They shouldn't be allowed to destroy the privacy, safety and free movement of women to accommodate the feelings of a biological male. It's just not right, or fair, and it shouldn't be legal to force on women what would be considered a sexual assault in other circumstances.
