Erasing Women, LGB, and Their Spaces

9/20 - Now it's ordinary women like us who are being CANCELLED by the trans lobby! First they came for celebrities like JK Rowling, but that wasn't enough, say those who find themselves on the frontline of the gender debate war

The Daily Mail highlights the stories of three women in the UK who have seen their livelihoods threatened for daring to speak against gender ideology.

9/19 - Braun advertises men’s trimmers using trans model

This time it’s MEN being erased!

9/18 - More woke madness! Women's health writer is censored on Always website... for saying that females have periods

Oh for goodness sake! Who has a good recommendation for a feminine hygiene brand that doesn’t grovel to the trans klan??

9/16 - GMC removes all references to ‘mother’ from maternity document

It’s not just periods and pregnancy, menopause must also only be discussed if we acknowledge that it isn’t a women’s issue.

Silencing Girls, Women, and Their Supporters

9/20 - #1MillionMarch4Children took place across Canada

While Trans Radical Activists succeeded in suprressing some speech through attempted violence, the sheer number of protesters in comparison to TRA counterprotesters shows that Canadians have reached the end of their fuse with gender ideology in schools.

9/15-17 - Women’s Declaration International (WDI) held their second annual convention in San Francisco over the weekend.

There was the expected backlash as Trans Radical Activists attempted to suppress the voices of women. And it’s no surprise that TRAs showed up to counter-proster when they were incited by the media with articles like this one.

Share Woman: Adult Human Female

Males in Female Sports

9/21 - Transgender women still running and winning as females six months since ban

While we cheer on logic winning in the sports debate, we have to remember that those wins are hollow unless new rules banning trans-identified males from participating in women’s sports are actually enforced. This fight is far from over.

9/20 - Ottawa Woman Unofficially Breaks Masters 5k World Record

I don’t want to spoil the (totally expected) plot twist in this short piece. It’s worth it to scroll through yourself for a laugh.

9/19 - Doctors say transgender women should be allowed to compete in female sports because it boosts 'their mental health and self-esteem'

Alternative title: It’s not trans-identified people who need to adapt to the world; it’s the whole world and everyone in it that need to adapt to trans

Reproductive Rights

9/20 - Abortion Rights Group Sees Mission Beyond ‘Pro-Choice,’ So It Has a New Name

NARAL Pro-Choice America has its fourth name change over its lifetime. NARAL is now Reproductive Freedom for All.

Sexual Exploitation

9/21 - Outcry at plan by law reform chiefs to hold rape trials in 'secret' with the public and press banned from court

This… doesn’t seem that crazy to me? I’d wager that most victims would prefer that the most traumatic event of their lives isn’t turned into fodder for the media and voyeurs. But maybe I’m missing something. Let us know in the comments!

9/17 - Sexual assault nurse examiner lays bare the horrors of her job - from examining a 35-DAY-OLD abuse victim to having to 'collect evidence' from dead bodies - and reveals it's left her so terrified that she now carries a gun

This article is pretty tame. If interested in hearing more details, there is a link to the video interview in the article.

9/16 - Woman says grandmother was sexually assaulted at NW Indiana nursing home by resident

This is something I never even thought about. The elderly in nursing homes are vulnerable not only because of their limited physical ability to protect themselves but also because apparently some states have weak laws around preventing ex-offender elderly people from residing alongside everyone else.

News Impacting Society and Children

9/21 - Britain becoming more liberal-minded but not on trans issues, survey finds

Of course the media tries to spin this as people being “prejudiced” as opposed to people thinking critically and rejecting an ideology that is backwards and destructive.

9/21 - NHS Scotland’s treatment of transgender children is a ‘medical scandal as bad as thalidomide’

Clinicians in Scotland are beginning to come forward with calls to end promotion of transing children. Hopefully, with the UK government seeming to lean gender critical, the people and government of Scotland will also free themselves from the cloud of gender ideology.

9/20 - Police find female designer's stolen clothes in ex-Biden official Sam Brinton's home

A resolution to the case of the “non-binary” suitcase thief who served in the Biden administration. The victim has had her clothes returned to her by police. The thief himself? Apparently too good for jail.

9/19 - The SNP’s fight over gender reform is going to court

Remember how the UK stopped Scotland from enacting its Gender Recognition Reform Act last year? Well, now the legal battle around this conflict is in court.

9/19 - Children on puberty blockers saw mental health change - new analysis

A re-analysis of old research shows that youth who were administered puberty blockers were psychologically impacted, in contrast to the original “no significant difference” conclusion. Researchers say that the original study averaged the results of all the study’s participants, which obscured the fact that some youth saw significant improvements in mental health and some youth saw significant deterioration in mental health.

9/19 - Moment hundreds of Pennsylvania high school students walk out after school board said transgender students must be allowed to use whichever bathroom they choose

A reminder that, even though a disturbingly high proportion of youth are falling prey to gender ideology, even more of them are NOT falling for it.

9/18 - Nashville voters elect openly transgender woman Olivia Hill to city council for the first time in Tennessee's history

Congratulations, Nashville voters. Now you can feel like a good citizen for voting a member of the most oppressed minority into office.

9/17 - ‘It’s a power game’: students accused in university rape hearings call in lawyers

Much like in the US, students in the UK are grappling with how to investigate and pursue cases of sexual assault on campus. Schools are not law enforcement, and so issues of due process create thorns.

9/16 - Trans guidance for teachers was wrong, says watchdog

At long last the government realizes that its guidance around supporting children who exhibit “gender dysphoria” was not productive. Now schools are waiting to see how EHRC corrects itself.

9/15 - Kansas will no longer change trans people’s birth certificates to reflect their gender identities

Kansas turns out to be the model state for sensible laws around gender recognition.

9/15 - Judge grants injunction favoring Escondido teachers who sued over student gender-identity policy

In California, of all places, a judge appears to side with teachers who object to a school distrcit policy that prohibits teachers from alerting parents when their children attempt social transition.

Beyond the West

9/18 - Moroccan girls at risk of sexual assault, forced marriage after earthquake

These predators are like sharks circling in the water, waiting to strike prey when they are most vulnerable.

Entertainment

9/20 - Disney CEO says company will 'quiet the noise' in culture wars, according to analyst note

In a promising turn from recent years, Disney CEO Bob Iger appears to want to pivot the company away from identity politics. It’s amazing how so many capitalists did not forsee that alienating a large portion of the population by pushing woke ideology would impact their companies’ bottom lines. Actual footage of Iger in the shareholder meeting:
