The International Olympic Committee (IOC) recently reduced the maximum testosterone level that men must fall short of in order to participate in women's sports. Male athlete Joanna Harper claimed credit for this in The Guardian, feigning an interest in “equitable rights for all” and stating that the original limit was set too high. This article by Helen Saxby reveals that Harper was in fact responsible for the previous high testosterone limit. So who really influenced the International Olympic Committee? The pivotal moment occurred at Harper’s open lecture in Brighton, attended by Helen Saxby, Stephanie Davies-Arai (TransgenderTrend), Ali Ceesay and Sheila Jeffreys (OBJECT board member).

A ‘London Porn Film Festival’ is due to take place from April 26th-28th at The Horse Hospital, an independent arts venue in London. This 'festival' involves the screening of violent pornography. There is a panel event encouraging pornography use in schools. Another event is called “Sex Work is Work.” This is advertised using the hashtag “necrophilia”. Can a dead woman consent? According to The Horse Hospital, “sex work is work” even if the woman being raped is dead. We OBJECT. View our letter to Camden Council, write your own and join us in protest. Let's stop this celebration of men's violence against women.

Angela C. Wild of #GetTheLOut (the group who famously protested against lesbian erasure at London Pride 2018) has published new research exposing the abuse that 'trans'-identified males inflict upon lesbians. 80 women responded to her questionnaire about their experiences within 'LGBT' groups and on lesbian dating sites. The results reveal that rape culture is rampant – lesbians are told to accept penises as 'lady sticks' - 56% of respondents reported being pressured to accept a 'transwoman' as a sexual partner. Several women revealed that they were sexually assaulted or raped by men who 'identified as women'. This is the enforcement of compulsory heterosexuality on lesbian women. 'Trans' ideology is inherently misogynistic and lesbophobic. We OBJECT.

Earlier this month, OBJECT went to New York City to promote and launch the Declaration on Women's Sex-Based Rights! While there, we also joined an anti-pimp protest outside New York City Hall; attended events at the UN Commission on the Status of Women; listened to a panel of 'detransitioned' women (Pique Resilience Project); and witnessed 'queer-erasure' of lesbian herstory at New York Public Library. The launch of the Women's Declaration was a fantastic success; it now has over 3300 signatories from over 70 countries! Please keep spreading the word!

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.
