Big Tranny

An artist was allegedly told she needed to give 24 hours’ notice to attend her own exhibition and reported to the police, after saying she believed it was harmful for children to try to change sex.

Victoria Culf, 43, was setting up her independently funded exhibition at Watford Museum when a borough council employee began talking to her about transgender issues.

Culf claimed she politely revealed that, because of her beliefs and her experience with children and young people, she believed transitioning them was harmful.

I first came across investigative journalist Jennifer Bilek’s work in 2020, when her essay “The Billionaires Behind the LGBT Movement” was published in First Things. It was a stunning piece—there are several journalists committed to exposing the transgender ‘movement’ (or industry, as Bilek calls it), but nobody has peeled away the façade of civil rights, pink-and-blue flags, and ‘trans kids’ like Bilek. If we had a mainstream press truly committed to uncovering and reporting the truth about the forces driving our culture today, her work would be cited by them across the board.

An unusual scene erupted in a school hall in Hampstead, north London earlier this month. Around 200 female volunteers from the Kenwood Ladies’ Pond Association (KLPA) met to discuss the fate of the women-only natural bathing pond on Hampstead Heath. The meeting was genteel at the start, as one might expect of a group of middle-class women discussing the affairs of a swimming pond. But it soon descended into a ferocious shouting match. The main question on the agenda was whether transwomen – aka men – should be let in.

Athlete and women’s rights advocate Riley Gaines, alongside the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, the University System of Georgia, and other entities on Thursday.

“It’s official!” Gaines announced on social media. “I’m suing the NCAA along with 15 other collegiate athletes who have lost out on titles, records, & roster spots to men posing as women.”

A transgender neighbour from hell who terrorised the couple next door by yelling and threatening to ‘punch women’s face in’ is jailed for 41 weeks.

The victims have lived in their upstairs flat in Newcastle for around 30 years without issue until Andrew Fleming, who, a court heard, now identifies as Susan Hope, moved in in February last year. The woman helped her new neighbour initially, letting them charge a phone and making them a cup of tea when their electricity was off.

At long last, the adults have re-entered the room. Safeguarding of vulnerable children is back at the forefront of British healthcare. NHS England’s announcement that it will no longer prescribe puberty blockers to children is a truly historic moment in the ideological battle for biological reality that has been raging.

A police force allowed a group which claimed gender-critical views are hate speech to carry out a training day for members of the local community.

Staffordshire Police was criticised for permitting the organisation to carry out an “inappropriate and inaccurate” course in February.

The session was delivered by the group Uniting Staffordshire Against Hate (USAH) at the force’s headquarters to members of the public.

How does a professional organisation respond when a scandal breaks? Some issue smooth denials, leaving not so much as a seam for critics to pick at. Some finger bad apples. Others dare to admit faults and strive for transparency. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) took a rather different tack, issuing a bizarre statement this week in response to the publication of files exposing malpractice at the organisation.

The UK’s first transgender national news anchor has reported “Harry Potter” author JK Rowling to the police for “misgendering” her as a “man” on social media.

India Willoughby, 58, reported having “contacted Northumbria Constabulary” over a series of X posts Sunday by the outspoken author.

Rowling, also 58, called Willoughby “just a man reveling in his misogynistic performance of what he thinks ‘woman’ means: narcissistic, shallow and exhibitionist.”
