“99% of the AGPs I dealt with were pedophiles. I basically ran a confessional. People need to understand these are the worst of the worst kinds of men.” - Bunny, a former sex-worker-turned-radfem I just interviewed for my channel. Ep posted next week.
I used to admire Senator Warren. I believed she was one of the few politicians willing to confront institutional corruption, name hard truths, and defend people with less power.
Her response to the SCOTUS decision on Title IX has shown me that my admiration was misplaced and naive.
The Title IX decision is not about “MAGA.” It is not about “targeting trans kids.” That framing is evasive and dishonest. The issue is whether women and girls are a distinct category of human beings with their own human rights.
Female sport exists because sex matters in athletic competition. It exists because girls and women were historically excluded, overlooked, underfunded, and displaced. Title IX was not designed to make female-only competition accessible to male athletes. It was designed to ensure equal opportunity for women and girls to participate and succeed in athletic competition.
Senator Warren knows this. Or she should. If she does not understand it, that is shameful. If she does understand it and says this anyway, that is worse.
To pretend that defending female sports is merely hatred toward trans people is cynical and dishonest. By framing the defense of female sport as bigotry, she is not protecting the vulnerable. She is erasing the legal rights of women and girls and dismantling the feminist civil rights project.
She is asking women and girls to surrender their their human rights, their distinct humanity, their privacy, and their fair opportunities to buy political loyalty from a misguided, misogynist, homophobic, and unprincipled cause.
I do not believe compassion for trans-identifying males requires sacrificing women and girls. I do not believe women’s rights should disappear the moment they become politically inconvenient for leftbwjng politicians. And I do not trust politicians who call themselves feminists while refusing to defend female people when it actually costs women and girls their hard won himan rights.
Senator Warren has lost credibility. Not because she disagrees with SCOTUS, but because she chose a manipulative framing that treats women’s rights as negotiable and women and girls as acceptable collateral damage.
This is not courage. It is not feminism. It is a betrayal of left-wing values, cynical political pandering, and moral cowardice.
@lachancenaomi27 I stopped seeing a therapist that I went to after my brother died because he kept forgetting that my brother had died… like… the entire reason I was there.
Just for the record, anyone who actually understands Harry Potter knows Dolores Umbridge would force you to write down “trans women are women” until it was etched into your skin.
"Some kids do wish they were the opposite sex - and you tell them they can't be. You don't say 'we have drugs that will save your life'..."

@jonahowheeler Thank you for being the only man in the Democratic Party to truly stand for women. I didn’t even know you existed until this year. If ever there is a chance to correspond please let me know. I’d love to chat with you and express my gratitude. XO
"If there are women who feel unsafe, if there are women who feel their space has become not private, then we should listen to them." NH Rep Jonah Wheeler breaks ranks with Democrats to help pass HB148, restoring women's sports and private spaces.
THE MEN LOCKED UP WITH WOMEN IN WASHINGTON:
Since 2022, Reduxx has closely monitored the situation at the Washington Correctional Center for Women, where male inmates are being housed in accordance with their "gender identity."
Meet just some of the men at the facility. 🧵
Prison reform is an issue I've worked on for many years.
In 2020 Governor @henrymcmaster signed my prison reform bill into law ending the practice of shackling pregnant women in custody during childbirth.
Now we've introduced the Prison Rape Prevention Act to keep biological men out of women's prisons and stop taxpayer-funded gender-affirming abuse for inmates.
You can count on us to protect women. Always have, always will. #HoldTheLine
Of 1,500 transgender federal inmates, nearly 50% of trans-identified males are in custody for sex offenses, compared to 11% of non-trans male inmates.
Keep telling us this isn’t about safety.

New @FDRLST
McBride and his allies know that this fight is about much more than where one politician pees. Rather, they are seeking to establish — at the very core of American government — that men have an absolute right to access women’s private spaces.

A couple of years ago, most women wouldn't have complained about a trans-identifying male using the women's bathroom. Our desire to be tolerant and not hurt anyone’s feelings would have trumped our own feelings of unease.
But now we see that women’s instinct for kindness and tolerance allowed men to take world’s records and medals from female athletes; to justify convicted male rapists moving into women’s prison cells; and to enable men to undress in women’s showers and locker rooms, while women made uncomfortable were told to shut up.
Some now insist that these trans-accommodation issues rarely come up. Yet these are the same people who insisted that our elementary schoolers give their pronouns at the start of school and that we use words like “bleeders” and “chest feeders” so that men somehow don’t feel left out of conversations about women’s health.
This is no longer about one person quietly using a bathroom -- it's about the war on the concept of sex which has made women pay the entire price. Women have paid with lost opportunities, safety and dignity.
So I'm sorry, Rep. McBride, men who identify as women can no longer go into a women's bathroom. Our instinct to show deference and put your comfort over our own interests was used up long ago.
Don’t you see? Don’t you see what this insanity is doing to women?? WHY DO GIRLS HAVE TO SHARE THEIR BATHROOMS W/BOYS? THEIR LOCKER ROOMS? THEIR SPORTS? THEIR PRISONS? WHY DO 4th GRADE BOYS HAVE TO SHARE THEIRS W/GIRLS (& THEIR TAMPONS) IN MN? NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL, SAFE OR FAIR
This thread is very important. Many of us have gotten used to industrial strength propaganda. What no one is ready for is a world where propaganda is actively tailored to you, in real time. It *is* The Truman Show, and it’s already here.
In June, @Powells Books sponsored an author meet and great and panel with the writer's of the book, "The Price She Pays: Confronting the Hidden Mental Health Crisis in Women's Sports - from the Schoolyard to the Stadium. The authors, who are both mental health therapists and "experts" talked for an hour about the mental health crisis among female athletes. Also on this panel was the owner of @TheSportsBraPDX.
Concerned and brave Oregonian women and mothers attended to ask questions about the invasion of males into female sports, locker rooms, and single sex spaces. Below is a recording of the interaction between these women and the authors. What you are about to hear is two mental health experts say that young girls should step aside, ignore their discomfort and instincts, and give up their rights and dreams. AND They should do so politely. They further parroted the debunked and dangerous lie and emotional blackmail regarding self harm.
To say this is shocking is an understatement.
We demand that experts and lawmakers stop gaslighting women and girls and stand up for their sex-based rights and safety.

I absolutely despise essay-posting but as the co-owner of the outlet (@reduxx) that broke the news about Khelif and Lin and started this wildfire, I feel compelled to put to bed some of the bullshit surrounding this story.
A rapid-fire FAQ:
1. "L & K are just women with high testosterone!"
Khelif and Lin were never tested for their testosterone levels.
The claims that they were disqualified from the 2023 Women's World Boxing Championship due to simple testosterone abnormalities were made by their respective national sporting bodies, who, obviously, have some motivation to lie here.
2. "L & K have female ID!"
Khelif and Lin are not believed to be transgender, and @reduxx made that VERY clear in our July 28 article.
They are believed to be impacted by a Difference of Sexual Development, in which there is a developmental abnormality in secondary sex characteristics. This is a medical condition which can manifest with children being born with ambiguous or disfigured genitalia. Male children impacted by DSDs are often "assigned female at birth" due to these genital defects, as there is a genuine assumption they are girls.
Thus, their identification documents would be completely irrelevant in this case. As is the fact they were "raised as girls." That's entirely expected for male children with DSDs.
Even more so for male children with DSDs in socially conservative countries.
Is a boy without a penis more likely to be raised as a boy or a girl? Exactly.
3. "The IBA never said they had XY chromosomes!"
On March 25, 2023, IBA President Umar Kremlev said that the boxers disqualified at the championships had XY chromosomes. He said this in a statement to TASS News.
There were only two boxers disqualified at the championships: Lin and Khelif.
4. "But Kremlev could be lying!"
Over the last 72 hours, the IBA has released two separate statements confirming that Khelif and Lin were not subject to testosterone testing, but had instead been subjected to a separate test validated by two independent laboratories.
That test confirmed they were not eligible to compete in women's boxing as per the IBA guidelines.
Crucially, the IBA defines "woman" as "an individual with XX chromosomes." In their guidelines, they also indicate that the gender tests they use to determine if a person is eligible to compete with women is a chromosomal test, not a hormone test.
In their second statement, the IBA condemned the IOC for allowing Khelif and Lin to proceed as they believed it was putting female boxers at risk and that they did not support "boxing between the genders."
5. "Why doesn't the IBA release the test!"
They cannot. It is protected medical information. They would be sued.
Khelif and Lin, however, can agree to have the laboratories release those tests themselves... Why haven't they?
6. "The IBA didn't let L & K appeal their disqualification!"
Yes they did. They have no choice in the matter. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is a fully independent tribunal which oversees all disputes in elite athletics. Every athlete has a right to bring a case to the CAS.
Lin did not challenge the disqualification.
Khelif challenged the disqualification but withdrew the appeal before it could proceed through the court.
Please ask yourself why. If they were genuinely female, why would they have chosen to refuse their opportunity to establish that in an irrefutable and legally binding way at a fully independent venue? Literally none of this would have happened had they simply submitted their tests to the CAS.
Buuuut... Consider that all decisions at the CAS are public information. It was through a CAS challenge that the world became aware that Caster Semenya had XY chromosomes, for example.
If Khelif and Lin had proceeded through the CAS, there would have been irrefutable evidence, documented by an independent body, that they were either male or female.
So why? Why did they not want the CAS to examine their tests? Why did they not want this information to be public? I think the reason is obvious.
7. "But the IOC approved their eligibility for 2024!"
The IOC stopped sex testing athletes in 1999. Since then, they have deferred to individual sporting bodies to ensure athletes were eligible.
HOWEVER, for the purposes of the 2024 Paris Olympics, there is no formal oversight body for boxing. This is the first time this ever happened.
As a result, the IOC created an ad-hoc boxing unit to temporarily oversee the boxing competitions in Paris. This unit has no guidelines for gender eligibility, and has apparently just been allowing boxers to compete "as females" if they have female gender markers on their passports/legal documents.
8. "The IBA is corrupt and cannot be trusted!"
The IOC has long had an issue with the IBA because the IBA has refused to disqualify Russian athletes on the basis of their national identity.
Claims of the IBA's "corruption" can basically be summarized to "Russia bad, Russians evil." The IBA has literally no history of bullshitting about the sex of boxers involved and it doesn't benefit them in any kind of way to do so.
9. "The IBA only disqualified L & K because they beat Russian boxers at the 2023 championships!"
No they did not. I started seeing this weird, completely false claim circulating over the last 24 hours.
Khelif beat Thailand's Janjaem Suwannapheng and was set to compete against China's Yang Liu for gold in the Welterweight category.
Lin beat Bulgaria's Svetlana Kamenova Staneva for bronze in the Featherweight category.
They were scheduled to fight no Russian boxers in either one of their categories, and only one Russian boxer won a gold medal in the entire championship (Anastasiia Demurchian, Light Middleweight).
India won the most gold medals (4) at the 2023 Women's Championship. China won the most medals overall (7). Kazakhstan won the second most medals overall (6). Russia only won 3 medals at the championship.
Also worth noting that another Taiwanese boxer, Huang Hsiao-wen, won gold in the Bantamweight category. So for all the Taiwanese mouthpieces claiming Lin's disqualification was just "discrimination against Taiwan"... lol no.
10. "L & K were only singled out because they don't look feminine!"
This idea that Lin and Khelif were singled out for not meeting some "western feminine beauty standard" is atrocious and quite easily refutable when you look at literally any of their competitors, most of whom do not meet that arbitrary standard themselves because boxing is a physically demanding sport for robust people, male or female.
Below is Khadija El-Mardi of Morocco, for example, who likely would be accused of failing to meet this supposed "western feminine beauty standard." El-Mardi won gold in the Heavyweight category at the 2023 World Championships. She is advancing to the quarter-finals in Paris as we speak. She's one of the best female boxers out there.
She is a woman. Her features and tall stature literally do not matter. She is biologically female. Sex testing would return an XX.
Women are adult human females. This is true regardless of their external appearance.
Likewise, men are adult human males. This is true regardless of abnormalities or defects in their secondary sex characteristics.
