Woman who quit job to live life as puppy gets into a 'dog fight' on street - "Jenna Phillips, who goes by the name Puppy Girl Jenna, earns more than £700,000 from filming content for her OnlyFans subscribers of her acting as a puppy. The videos include her playing fetch and drinking water from bowls, among others. In her latest video, Jenna is seen crawling on the floor with a leash tied around her neck. While one woman pretending to be a dog is strange enough, the camera pans to show another woman being tied up like a dog by a barrier. Both the women stare and bark at each other... The video even caught the attention of Jordan Belfort, the millionaire known as the "real Wolf of Wall Street". He commented, "What universe is this?"... Jenna quit her job after having apparently felt like a dog since she was a child. "I feel like a dog," she explained at the time. She said, "I just want to roll around, play fetch, get head scratches, run around and play. All of that. I have always acted like a puppy, but not in a sexual way at first. I really love praise. I love hearing 'good girl'. It makes my heart melt every time.""

Adele accused of transphobia for saying 'I love being a woman' at Brit Awards - "Her comments quickly made it to social media and netizens were divided over the intentions of her statement. One person wrote, “Please, no, ADELE can’t be a TERF,” a “staunch feminist” performer named Jacob told his thousands of Twitter followers. TERF means a trans-exclusionary feminist person. Another wrote, “Who’d have thought Adele was a transphobe and would use her platform to call for the destruction of the trans community. Especially the confused teenagers.” Others complained that they had “lost a lot of respect for Adele” and would no longer “spend a cent on her music.”"
Facebook - "My wife walked up to the server at our local cafe. The person was possibly transgender. She wanted to engage the individual but was frozen in fear that she might use a pronoun that might offend. Therein lies the problem with this language policing. It takes perfectly natural social situations and in the quest to not offend an extraordinarily small minority (who of course deserve to live fully dignified lives like anyone else), everyone is walking on eggshells. Fighting for a world free of bigotry does not imply that we must suppress perfectly natural categorization mechanisms that are built into our brains and our languages. I can be free of bigotry without being compelled to celebrate your unique personhood."

Lauren Hough's Lambda Literary award nomination rescinded: Online lit drama, Twitter, and Goodreads. - "Lauren Hough, author of the acclaimed essay collection Leaving Isn’t the Hardest Thing, was un-nominated for a Lambda Literary Prize for coming to the defense of a writer friend on Twitter. After being told a month ago that her book was a nominee for best lesbian memoir, Hough was recently informed that Lambda Literary, an organization that, according to its website, “nurtures and advocates for LGBTQ writers,” had withdrawn her book from the finalist list for the prize. The reason? Online drama. Hough’s friend, writer Sandra Newman, was embroiled in a social media pile-on when she tweeted an announcement about her forthcoming novel, The Men, briefly describing it as a dystopian yarn set in a world in which “everyone with a Y chromosome suddenly, mysteriously disappears.” This scenario prompted complaints that the novel was transphobic, although very few of the complainants appear to have read the book"

Facebook - "All Gender Toilet with Open Urinal"
"Over a hundred years ago, women campaigned hard for sex specific public toilets. Powerful men pushed back, saying such novelties would enable women to be outside the home too much at the neglect of their families. When a ladies’ loo was finally constructed on Park Street in September of 1900, furious men aggressively worked to shut it down. Women, they determined, neither needed nor deserved their own bathroom facilities. It’s the same misogyny we are fighting today. Here’s a picture of an “all gender” bathroom with open urinals in Federation Square in Melbourne. If you don’t understand why it’s unacceptable to force women to share facilities with men exposing their privates, you’re operating from a place of extreme ignorance and privilege."

College student mocked for complaining about 'cisgender men' who installed radiators in his room - "A student at an $80,000-a-year ultra-liberal Oberlin College in Ohio claimed in an op-ed that he was left ‘angry, scared, and confused’ because ‘cisgender men’ installed a radiator in his ‘safe space’ dormitory. Peter Fray-Witzer, a student enrolled at Oberlin College, posted an article in Friday's edition of The Oberlin Review in which he takes school administrators to task for giving him short notice about the installation. Fray-Witzer writes that he asked a campus official if he could be exempt from having a radiator installed in his room so as to avoid the ‘intrusion.’... Fray-Witzer writes that 'cisgender men are not allowed to live on the second and third floors, and many residents choose not to invite cisgender men to that space.'... Fray-Witzer claims that other students shared his concerns about being ‘subject to the whims of the contractors.’... Journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted: 'Students at Oberlin, which costs $80,000/year to attend, are angry and scared that the low-paid servants sent to fix their radiators are cis men. 'Perfect illustration of how s***** identity leftism doesn't just ignore class repression but reinforces it: Ponder the rotted roots of an ideology that convinces highly privileged and wealthy students at elite colleges that the guys who come to fix their radiators are their oppressors, and that the ones whose family is paying $80k/year are the oppressed.'... 'Jeez, such an uncomfortable situation. My thoughts are with those who are traumatized lol.' Wrote another commenter: 'Will they be survivors of some kind after this?' One Twitter user wrote that the writer's op-ed amounted to 'a public admission of a need for therapy.'"

Comment: "Yeah, when these errors occur with the SRY gene it leads to intersex conditions like de la Chappelle syndrome and Swyer syndrome. They are incredibly rare, always cause infertility, and usually include other lifelong complications such as osteoporosis, endocrine disorders, mental impairment, etc. We don’t categorize things in biology by anomalies and defects. People can be born without legs, or even brains, but humans are still considered to be bipedal and sentient. 99.99999% of trans and nb people do not have these disorders anyways. Which makes it all the more disgusting that they appropriate them."

Evidence and Data on Trans Women’s Offending Rates - "This Swedish cohort study by Dhejne et al. (2011) followed a population of individuals who had undergone surgical and legal sex reassignment involving hormonal and surgical treatment between 1973 and 2003 (324 in total) and compared them to a matched controlgroup of their birth sex. It is crucial to emphasise that this study looks only at those whohave undergone hormonal and surgical transition, which is a much tighter group than individuals who self- identify as transgender... transsexual individuals were more likely to be criminal than non-transsexuals of the same birth sex in the first cohort (1973-1988), and no different from their birth sex in the second group (1989-2003). The researchers state:‘male-to-females . . . retained a male pattern regarding criminality. The same wastrue regarding violent crime.’...
Comparisons of official MOJ statistics from March / April 2019 (most recent official count of transgender prisoners):
76 sex offenders out of 129 transwomen = 58.9%
125 sex offenders out of 3812 women in prison = 3.3%
13234 sex offenders out of 78781 men in prison = 16.8%...
Biggs states that no assessment is made of the dangers posed to women prisoners by trans women housed in the female estate, despite the warnings of Gender Identity Specialists. Of interest in this regard is Dr. James Barrett President, British Association of Gender Identity Specialists, 20 August 2015 ‘Written evidence submitted by British Association of Gender Identity Specialists to the Transgender Equality Inquiry’ (2015), and in particular this section:
'The converse is the ever-increasing tide of referrals of patients in prison serving longor indeterminate sentences for serious sexual offences. These vastly outnumber the number of prisoners incarcerated for more ordinary, non-sexual, offences. It has been rather naïvely suggested that nobody would seek to pretend transsexual status inprison if this were not actually the case. There are, to those of us who actually interview the prisoners, in fact very many reasons why people might pretend this.These vary from the opportunity to have trips out of prison through to a desire for a transfer to the female estate (to the same prison as a co-defendant) through to the idea that a parole board will perceive somebody who is female as being less dangerous through to a [false] belief that hormone treatment will actually render one less dangerous through to wanting a special or protected status within the prison system and even (in one very well evidenced case that a highly concerned Prison Governor brought particularly to my attention) a plethora of prison intelligence information suggesting that the driving force was a desire to make subsequent sexual offendingvery much easier, females being generally perceived as low risk in this regard. I am sure that the Governor concerned would be happy to talk about this.'"
Transwomen are almost 20x as likely as women to be sex offenders and more than 3x as likely as men to be sex offenders. Clearly transwomen are exactly the same as women and putting them in women's prisons is harmless
‘We have been forced to revive the gay-rights movement’ - "Bev Jackson: We noticed that when Stonewall changed direction in 2015, when it started to focus on gender identity rather than sexuality, the rights of LGB people in particular started to gradually slide away. We assumed that we could just discuss this with Stonewall and arrive at a compromise position... we decided we would have to form the LGB Alliance, in order to revive the gay- and lesbian-rights movement... Let’s remember that roughly 70 countries around the world criminalise sexual activity between people of the same sex. That is very clearly about biological sex... When you start talking about gender, you get into a very misty area, because people use that word in three different ways. Some people use gender as a synonym for sex, like when they talk about the gender pay gap. Some people use it as I do, to talk about stereotypes – expecting a girl to behave in certain ways and expecting a boy to behave in certain ways. These stereotypes are things that all sides of this argument want to overcome. And then there is the third meaning of gender – some sort of inner essence. For example, you can have an inner-male essence inside a female body. It strikes me as a kind of spiritual thing. And I personally think it’s very sexist to say that if you have got a male body you ought to be a certain way. This has blurred and obscured what homosexuality is. It’s about same-sex attraction. If you say same-gender attraction, it makes a nonsense of what homosexuality is all about. It just gets rid of it. And this has real-life consequences. Those consequences have always been much clearer for women, especially for lesbians, than for men. That is why the LGB Alliance was set up by two lesbians. We saw from the beginning that this was having real-life negative impacts on lesbians... whenever we try to talk about lesbian rights, gay rights, bisexual rights or women’s rights, it gets called a ‘trans rights’ discussion. It’s extraordinary – it’s as if we can’t talk about women’s rights or lesbian rights. We have a lot of unscrambling of the omelette to do on this. So many young people have grown up with LGBT being a natural cluster of letters. There’s no questioning of whether these letters really belong together. And they don’t belong together – because ‘LGB’ is about sexual orientation. It’s about the kind of relationships that you want to form. ‘T’ is about something else entirely. People calling themselves trans – and that’s an enormous variety of people who also seem to have rather little in common with each other – relates to their identity and the way they see themselves. It’s unfortunate that gender identity has been stuck in between biological sex and individual personality. My personality and identity are made up of millions of different things. But I don’t have a gender identity. This has really confused things for lesbians. The way that you presented it, as an incursion into lesbian spaces, is really important... imagine a young girl, 18 or 19 years of age, looking for her first girlfriend and saying no to someone because she thinks they look male. People will aggressively ask why. And then she has to try to figure out how to say no without being transphobic. There is another issue that is even more disturbing than that. It’s how the word ‘lesbian’ is being trashed and therefore lesbian lifestyles, even lesbian existence, are being trashed, too. Young girls who are attracted to other girls don’t want to be lesbian. It’s not cool. If they are a bit butch, their peers at school will say they are trans and think that’s cool. That leads to the worst part of this, which is that tens of thousands of girls and young women are on GoFundMe raising money to have their breasts cut off. The majority of the kids being referred to the Gender Identity Development Service are girls. Most are attracted to other girls and a significant minority are bisexual. This is an LGB issue above all."
BBC reporter criticises Stonewall links and says staff scared to speak out on gender - "The BBC has been criticised by its investigative reporter over its links to Stonewall amid claims that staff are too “frightened” to speak out on gender issues... BBC journalist Stephen Nolan has claimed “there is a fear factor” among colleagues who disagree with the corporation’s alignment with the charity... “We’ve received communication from senior people within the BBC, outside the BBC, who are frightened of speaking about this issue. Now, as soon as we know that, the BBC needs to get right into that territory, at least to facilitate safe debate, and that’s what this podcast is trying to do.” Stonewall operates two schemes which have faced recent scrutiny. The Diversity Champions programme is provided to employers for a fee, advising them on diversity and inclusion. The Workplace Equality Index is a public ranking of organisations scored by Stonewall and does not require a fee. The Nolan Investigates podcast, in which Stonewall declined to take part, sought information on the schemes under freedom of information laws. Some organisations, including the BBC, refused to release the information on the grounds that it could “have a detrimental impact on the commercial revenue of Stonewall”. However, Nolan found that Ofcom, the media regulator, used its rulings on broadcasters’ content to try to impress Stonewall and score points on its Workplace Equality Index, intended to measure how employers do in supporting LGBTQ+ staff. His criticism comes after earlier this month it was reported that the BBC’s membership of the Diversity Champions scheme was in doubt amid fears that it could jeopardise the broadcaster’s impartiality. The BBC did not comment on the report, in Vice News... Nolan added: “LGBT people within the BBC have a range of different views. And what’s been really interesting since the podcast came out is the number of people from within the BBC, from within the LGBT community, who’ve contacted us and congratulated us for asking these questions about Stonewall."

Stonewall brands lesbians 'sexual racists' for raising concerns about sex with transgender women - "The BBC received 4,819 complaints in the days following publication, while 5,520 messages praised its coverage. Angela Wild, a member of lesbian campaign group Get The L Out who was quoted in the article, told The Mail on Sunday: ‘For years lesbian activists have been trying to get the message out that it is not bigoted to say “no” to sexual pressure from males who identify as women. ‘The fact that Nancy Kelley has framed the reporting of this issue as transphobia is disgusting. Stonewall are a disgrace and no longer represent the interests of lesbians.’ Author John Boyne described Stonewall as authoritarian for ‘telling gays how to think, who to date and betraying lesbians completely.’ The BBC rejected the complaints against the article arguing it had gone through ‘rigorous editorial processes’. adding that its journalism should explore issues ‘even where there are strongly held positions’. Last month, former BBC foreign correspondent Paul Wood told The Mail on Sunday there has been a ‘climate of fear’ at the Corporation around issues of race and gender, with self-appointed censors among the broadcaster’s own staff... an independent report into the BBC warned that ‘networks’ of internal influence – including those representing sexual minorities – could affect its impartiality... Programmes such as Diversity Champions earn Stonewall millions as businesses pay to be vetted on their woke policies. Hundreds of thousands of pounds have been spent on the programmes by Government departments alone. Being part of the scheme gives employers the chance to appear in the charity’s coveted Top 100 workplace index if their policies meet Stonewall’s approval. Last year’s list included Sainsbury’s, MI6, Oxford University, Sussex Police, Barclays, the Ministry of Justice and the Army. But those who have cut their links with the scheme include Channel 4, Ofcom, Ofsted, the University of Essex, the Equality and Human Rights Commission and several Whitehall departments. Philosophy professor Kathleen Stock – who was hounded out of Sussex University for saying that biological sex matters and wrote about her experience in the MoS this month – has accused Stonewall of helping drive a climate of bigotry in British universities."
Stonewall's reign of intolerance - "What were cracks at Stonewall, the UK’s largest LGBT lobby group, are rapidly becoming chasms. Yesterday it was revealed that the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has dropped its membership of the Stonewall Diversity Champions scheme... Stonewall faced a problem in the mid-2010s. The granting of same-sex marriage in 2013 marked the last legal hurdle to equality faced by lesbians, gays and bisexuals. When Ruth Hunt was appointed CEO of Stonewall in 2014, she found herself at the head of a charity rich in staff and cash but suddenly lacking a cause. Hunt found Stonewall’s new cause – and donors – in the ‘struggle’ for trans rights... Stonewall still trades on its reputation from decades ago, when it was both relevant and necessary to the lives of homosexual and bisexual people. But today it seems more interested in raising awareness about straight ‘asexuals’ (ie, those with a low sex drive) and people who identify as transgender, than in lesbian, gay and bisexual equality. Simon Fanshawe, one of the founders of Stonewall, has become a vocal opponent of the charity’s new direction of travel. ‘Instead of continuing to bring together the range of lesbian and gay voices (and for that matter the range of trans voices), it chose to divide us against ourselves’, he tells me. ‘Stonewall’s history is one of listening and finding common ground. Its current leadership have forsaken that for divisive sectarianism.’ Until recently, Stonewall’s Diversity Champions scheme was the rainbow seal of approval for employers seeking to appear as welcoming to people of all sexual orientations. But the case of Allison Bailey has tarnished its image. Bailey is a lesbian barrister and co-founder of the LGB Alliance, a group formed in part to challenge Stonewall’s obsessive focus on transgender ideology and niche causes. Bailey alleges her employer, Garden Court Chambers, colluded with Stonewall to remove her and is now suing both of them... There are also concerns over the impact of Stonewall on organisational policy and freedom of expression. Last week, an independent report into the No Platforming of feminist professors Jo Phoenix and Rosa Freedman at the University of Essex was damning about the influence of Stonewall on university policies. Essex was advised to drop its membership of the Stonewall Diversity Champions scheme. Akua Reindorf, the author of the report, described a ‘culture of fear’ at the university, with academics concerned about voicing opinions that countered the Stonewall-approved line. Reindorf also noted that Essex had adopted policies which reflected ‘the law as Stonewall would prefer it to be, rather than the law as it is’... This is characteristic of Stonewall’s hubris. It seems to believe the importance of its mission and reputation ought to protect it from scrutiny. Criticism, particularly from the right-of-centre press, is used by Stonewall as evidence of the ‘bigotry’ it faces. It seems that criticism only strengthens the faith of believers in the righteousness of Stonewall’s cause."
‘Stonewall now represents intolerance’ - "Simon Fanshawe: The key issue is not about whether Stonewall should or shouldn’t be supporting trans people in the campaigns it wants to run. The issue is the way in which Stonewall has chosen to go about it. My public break with Stonewall was preceded by a very considerable effort, by me and others who were on the original board of Stonewall, to get it to engage in a proper dialogue by which we could reach some common points of agreement on the knotty questions. Those questions are the ones where self-ID and trans rights knock up against women’s (and therefore lesbians’) rights. But there was absolutely no attempt from Stonewall to create a dialogue. My break came through frustration more than anything else. The only thing that I’ve ever tried to do in public is to say that these issues must be matters of discussion. You can’t just say that something is the view of lesbian, gay and trans people, or the ‘community.’ There are as many different views as there are people – there is no one view of the community. The minute you say there is – and that if you don’t agree with it then you’ve put yourself ‘outside Stonewall’, as I have been told that I have – you turn yourself into a political party rather than a very broad alliance. I felt that making this break was the only way to get Stonewall to listen to the voices of gay, lesbian and trans people who are concerned about self-ID... Stonewall’s main problem is that it blocks discussion. Reasonable disagreement is caricatured by Stonewall as ‘hate’. Recently, the chief executive of Stonewall outrageously equated disagreeing with its position on self-ID and trans issues as akin to anti-Semitism... Stonewall could have provided space and resources for trans people to find a voice. But rather than doing that in an inclusive way, it excluded certain trans voices. It excluded those who, often despite transitioning, don’t believe they have actually changed their biological sex. There is a range of voices among trans people and Stonewall refuses to recognise some of them."
Stonewall urges employers to drop mother for 'parent who has given birth' to boost equality ranking - "a series of Freedom of Information requests, seen by The Telegraph, have led to warnings from lawyers that the LGBT+ charity is “misrepresenting” equality laws in advice to Government departments, councils, police forces, NHS trusts and a raft of private companies. Campaigners last night called for a public inquiry into how the “lobby group” have secured such an influential position at the heart of Government... Advice to those applying – more than 500 in the last year - includes ditching all gendered language outlawing single sex toilets and changing rooms. Employers are urged to add gender pronouns to all email signatures, and even run a “rainbow laces campaign”... the charity informed Historic England that it is a “legal right” for an individual to “use the facility that corresponds with their gender identity”... It advises that the organisations should use “gender neutral language” and pronouns throughout their policies, avoid terms such as husband or wife, and offer employees the chance to use the pronoun Mx. They say that “guidance must make clear that all trans employees can use the facilities (e.g. toilets, changing rooms) they feel most comfortable using” and there should be “a formal commitment to introduce gender-neutral facilities”. Gender fluid employees should be given “multiple passcards with different forms of gender expression” so they can be a different gender each day, Stonewall states. Applicants could “choose a gender marker other than male or female” or even “remove gender markers and titles from your systems altogether”. Another question asks whether the members of the board or senior management have appeared at Pride or given speeches which should include “specific messages of bi, nonbinary and trans equality”. Employers are also asked to prove how they have utilised social media accounts “with the widest reach” to communicate messages of LGBT, bi, non-binary and trans equality... Dr Nicola Williams, director of Fair Play For Women, warned: “It's almost as if Stonewall has become a government department in its own right, the government is almost outsourcing its views on equality.”"
Exclusive: Stop using terms ‘boy’ and ‘girl’, Stonewall tells teachers - "Teachers should drop the terms boys and girls in favour of “learners”, and mix up the sexes in PE classes, Stonewall has told schools. The controversial LGBT charity is urging teachers to ditch all gendered language and gendered uniforms and suggests that children should compete against the opposite sex in sport... A Stonewall terminology exercise for children tests them on "transitioning" and "gender dysphoria", a medical term for feeling a mismatch between birth sex and lived gender."
This should be the next step in trans mania - transwomen won't even need to meet testosterone levels for a specified period to compete in women's sports because that would be literally denying that trans people exist
Trans Ideology Has Ruined Credibility of Gay Activism: Stonewall Founder - "LGBTQ activists at Stonewall have lost the plot, according to Simon Fanshawe OBE, who was one of the six founders of the group in 1989. Fanshawe, an openly gay man who spent decades campaigning for equal rights in Britain, said that he and others made gains by engaging with others of differing opinions. In contrast, the Stonewall co-founder accused the current batch of trans activists of treating their ideology as “non-negotiable”... his “jaw hit the floor” when Stonewall’s ‘Head of Trans inclusion’, Kirrin Medcalf, 24, said in court on Tuesday that “Bodies are not inherently male or female. They are just their bodies.”... Medcalf, 24, who earlier this week refused to testify without the presence of his mother and a “support dog”, claimed that Bailey’s opposition to transgender ideology put trans people “at risk of physical harm”. The Stonewall co-founder responded to the claim by saying that “[p]eople such as Kirrin Medcalf imagine that reality can be reshaped to fit their requirements. “A difference of opinion is being painted as a physical threat. According to Medcalf, any trans person encountering Bailey is at risk of attack. This is a completely imaginary scenario”... “Women who do speak out, even those as highly regarded as J.K. Rowling or Martina Navratilova, are told with vehemence to shut up,” Fanshawe wrote. “It often feels as though the trans debate has plunged us back into an era before feminism, when women were often treated as airheads with nothing to contribute to social discourse.”"
Exploding the Myths of Stonewall - "There was a period of time when a favorite story was that gay people stood up to the police because of Judy Garland’s death days before and that the Stonewall Uprising’s success was all due to “drag queens.” In the last few years, there has been increased interest in the role of transgender women and black and Latinx folks in the Uprising, a focus that has sparked complaints that white gay men have stolen the credit from those who did all the heavy lifting on that fateful first night... most of the crowd in the vanguard on the Uprising’s first night were white men"

Hospital slammed for pediatric gender change guidance promoting controversial practices - "Doernbecher Children's Hospital, a pediatric teaching hospital in Portland, Oregon, has come under fire over its guidance for kids interested in changing their gender identity. The guidance teaches kids how they can hide their genitals, called “safe tucking,” discusses the use of puberty blockers, some say encouraging their use, and even refers children to “a sex-positive shop in Portland” where they can find “gender-affirming” products in addition to “sex toys, videos and more.” The guidance also says the shop is for people 18 years of age and up but that it offers appointments outside of regular business hours for minors to come in... the guidance also provides instruction on the practice of “binding,” which is a way to compress a female’s chest in order to flatten their breasts. “Tucking” is the act of “moving the penis, testicles, or both” to make “the genital area look smoother and flatter,” according to the guidance. Both present potential risk factors that the guidance also mentions"
