THE recent violent attacks on Kellie-Jay Keen and Riley Gaines for speaking up for sex-based rights including single sex spaces and female only sports have been met with horror and incomprehension across social media and wider society. However, on closer examination these activists and their violent actions are understandable if viewed in the context of the mob, as envisaged by Hannah Arendt, the most famous political thinker of the 20th century. What we are witnessing is the use of the mob by the ruling class to bring about a totalitarian regime and usher in an era of digital feudalism where the masses are exploited by a rich and powerful class and stripped of all agency and wealth.

The protests outside Lenape Middle School carried on for four straight days last May.
Young students, some drawn by the lure of free pizza, walked out of their Pennsylvania school to wave rainbow flags and chant, “Hey hey, ho ho, transphobia has got to go” into a bullhorn.
The protesters — not just middle schoolers, but also local adult activists and high-school students — held signs that read “Protect Trans Kids.” They called for “justice” for a Lenape teacher who had been suspended, seemingly for filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights on behalf of a bullied transgender student.

Outrage ensued in a Wisconsin school district after an 18-year-old male-to-female transgender student allegedly got into the showers with four freshman girls and exposed their male genitalia to them at an area high school.
In a statement, an attorney representing the district admitted the incident should have never happened, but one legal group says the overall response to concerns raised by parents has been lackluster at best.

The beer giant has been under fire for the stupid marketing decision that has alienated its core demographic: older, sane people who don’t think men are women no matter how much makeup they put on or how many times they say, “transwomen are women!”
A Montana Democrat was censured by the state assembly Thursday after hate-filled comments that accused Republicans of having “blood on your hands” over transgender legislation.

Journalists are transitioning from speech to censorship.
Twitter no longer bans users who refer to people using biologically accurate pronouns. Instead, it now allows accountholders to determine how they express themselves. This victory for freedom of speech won scorn from outlets existentially dependent on freedom of speech.

‘This project . . . is backed by big finance, big pharma, big tech and all the corporations, international corporations, international finance houses, international law firms – they’re all driving the same narrative. And you have to ask yourself, why would this happen in the span of ten years?’ – Jennifer Bilek in an interview with James Patrick
Someone, somewhere thought it was a smashing idea to house Desiree Anderson in a Windsor women’s shelter.
Of course, there was no consideration for the wishes, feelings or fears of other residents. That would be … regressive and wildly off-message in 2023.
Transgender Convicted Pedophile Had Been Watching Girls Undress In Locker Room Of Canadian Pool, Claimed It Was His “Human Right” To Access Women’s Spaces
Reduxx has learned that a convicted pedophile is the individual who had been protected by swimming pool staff after mothers expressed concerns about his presence in the women’s locker room. Parents and concerned citizens had been sounding the alarm about the man, who some say they had caught watching their young daughters undress, but were told he had a right to use the facilities as a “transgender woman.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Twitter has quietly removed a policy against the “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals,” raising concerns that the Elon Musk-owned platform is becoming less safe for marginalized groups.
Twitter enacted the policy against deadnaming, or using a transgender person’s name before they transitioned, as well as purposefully using the wrong gender for someone as a form of harassment, in 2018.

Misleading studies are being taken as gospel
Do people with severe depression have a right to accurate information about antidepressants? I suspect most people would answer “yes”. There is a general understanding that individuals who suffer from medical conditions are in a vulnerable position, making them susceptible to misinformation. There is also increased awareness of the influence that the profit motive can have on how medical research is funded, undertaken and communicated to the public.

Single-sex schools will be allowed to reject transgender applicants of the opposite biological sex, government guidelines are expected to say.
It would protect girls’ schools if they refused a place to a boy identifying as female and the same would apply for girls identifying as male wanting to join boys’ schools.

Is anyone surprised by transgender homicide?
On March 27, a 28-year-old armed woman walked into a Presbyterian primary school in Nashville, Tennessee, and shot three children and three adults to death before being gunned down by police. The murderer was initially identified as Audrey Elizabeth Hale, but later the same day, having discovered that she considered herself to be a transgender male, local officials began referring to her by her last known name of choice, Aiden Hale.

If blackface is racist, then ‘womanface’ is sexist.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, minstrel shows featuring white actors in blackface — dark makeup worn to make them look black — spread throughout the United States. This practice was laughed off as entertainment. Today, it’s considered to be racial appropriation and stereotyping. But aren’t men who impersonate women similarly guilty of appropriation and stereotyping? If blackface is racist, then surely “womanface” is sexist.
