The 'transgender' movement is increasingly interested in spreading the myth of the 'trans child' - including the idea of ‘child drag queens’, reports of which have been circulating in the media and on Twitter recently. One motive for this is that focusing on children discourages the public from thinking of cross-dressing as a sexual fetish (even though for adult men, it usually is). More importantly, whether as a knock-on effect or an intended consequence, the 'trans' movement is breaking down safeguarding measures that protect children. We OBJECT.

An insight into the biased 'training' events held (at considerable profit) by the so-called Public Policy Exchange. These events offer 'training' to police forces and charitable organisations, claiming to educate on the issue of prostitution – but only offering a pro-prostitution perspective. We OBJECT to greedy organisations and individuals who endorse and perpetuate sexual slavery for financial gain. This is Janice Williams' account of attending one of PPE’s events in September 2016, first published on Nordic Model Now's website.

With insight from James Davies’ book ‘Cracked’ (2013), Janice Williams describes why ‘Transgenderism’ isn’t a ‘thing’; its inclusion in the DSM doesn’t lend it any scientific credibility. Many of the ‘disorders’ and ‘mental illnesses’ listed in the Diagnositic & Statistical Manual are not based on scientific evidence, but are voted into existence by male 'experts’. This is how many ‘female disorders’ (e.g. hysteria, Masochistic personality disorder, sexual aversion disorder) are invented. Next scheduled entry into the DSM: Penis Exclusionary Personality Disorder.

STRANGE BUT TRUE...this is beyond Orwellian, this is now Putinesque.  Maria Maclachan has written about how trans-activists spun the story of her assault to make it sound like she was the perpetrator, and how this version of events was spread online. More recently, in the court case involving Linda Bellos, the malestream media has irresponsibly publicised the ridiculous accusations made against her - yet NOT bothered to report that the charges brought against her were rightfully dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service. We OBJECT to malestream media manipulation.

Thain Parnell, radical feminist writer and activist, exposes 'trans-activism' as the latest counter-movement against feminism. Read her article, “Feminism has been co-opted but it won't last,” originally posted on Medium. Throughout history, when great gains are made by feminists in the pursuit of women's rights and liberation, a blacklash movement strikes back – often co-opting the term 'feminism'. The practice and ideology of 'trangenderism' is simply the latest form of anti-feminist activism (a.k.a. men's rights activism). We OBJECT.

Dr Heather Brunskell-Evans from OBJECT’s management committee discusses pornography on The Wright Show, broadcast on talkRadio on 23/10/2018. The topic for debate is the recent Commons Women and Equalities Committee report on the sexual harassment of women and girls, which deems pornography to be a public health crisis. Heather brilliantly rebuts the classic arguments made in defense of pornography. She affirms that pornography is NOT sexual liberation. Listen to the interview here.

Critique of an article in the Manchester Evening News, praising a so-called 'sex workers' charity' which offers prostituted women hot drinks – BUT calls them “sex workers” and claims that they are just doing a “tough job” like “any other worker.” We OBJECT to irresponsible media referring to the sexual exploitation of women as a “job”. The MEN article blames women for their own abuse and covers up the culpability of the men who use/abuse prostituted women. We OBJECT.

Men who declare themselves to be 'transwomen' get laser-hair removal funded by the NHS – they don't even have to 'get the snip' first (or at all). The treatment received by 'transwomen' is a cut above that offered to women. An NHS Senior Consultant speaks out anonymously – public discussion of this hairy issue runs the risk of being accused of 'transphobia'. Let's not allow this to become the perm.

The female survivors of male-inflicted rape, sexual abuse and sexual violence need FEMALE-ONLY spaces and services for recovery. A rape crisis centre in Brighton is already operating ‘gender’ self-ID policy. This may be partially attributed to desperation for funding and unlawful victimisation under the Equality Act. Last week, Harry and Meghan (the Duke and Duchess of Sussex) visited the centre, but did they seek to listen to the female survivors excluded from this service? Please listen to female survivors and amplify their voices in your reply to the GRA Reform consultation (Deadline: 19th October).

Janice Williams reviews and recommends a modern version of the opera La Traviata. La Traviata tells the story of a poledancer in “the most realistic portrayal of a strip joint you are ever likely to see on stage.” The performance is snappy, fast-paced and perfectly suitable for those of us who ‘hate opera’!
