Oak Foundation 3

Oak Foundation was set up by a British billionaire who made his fortune in an international company specialising in luxury, Duty Free goods. The foundation, ironically, now spends much of its money on climate change issues and other “social justice” causes; beloved of the self proclaimed “progressive left”. Naturally enough this includes LGBTQIA+ causes and initiatives pretending to focus on women which actually prioritise men who are sex mimics. Oak funds organisations across the world but am here to drill down to see how the U.K has been (potentially?) corrupted by Oak monies.

This is the third in a series on Oak Foundation grant recipients. You can read part one here 👇.

Oak Foundation: Grantees PT 2 a

Oxfam

Oxfam was in the receipt of over half a million dollars from Oak Foundation.

Oxfam has embraced sex denialism with unseemly enthusiasm so they have cropped up before on this blog. I did a three part series on them which is linked below.

Oxfam

Human Dignity Trust.

This outfit was a new one for me but it quicly transpired that they have a sex mimic on the board. Emma Cusdin has an impressive list of achievements, measured by the standards of the sex denialist world.

Emma was previously a trustee of Gender Identity Research and Education Society (GIRES). GIRES was set up by the parents of a boy/man they call their daughter. GIRES are one of the more influential of organisations promulgating sex denialism. In addition our Emma is also involved with Global Butterflies which is run by another man who calls himself Rachel. Emma and Rachel are married and of course Cusdin refers to Rachel as his “wife”.

I have also covered Global Butterflies where “Rachel” gave an interview to the Solicitors Regulation Authority effectively advising them to , effectively, break the law but calling it Get Ahead of the Law.

Get ahead of the Law!

I did a bit of digging on Emma who appears on quite a few podcasts /YouTubes. I sat through a couple so you don’t have to. Here he is 👇 talking, without a hint of irony, about being true to himself a twist on the authentic self. He also covers the danger he faces when travelling internationally; specifically life threatening mis genderings.

You can delve into his work further here 👇 Here he makes a plea for more “trans” representation in advertising. This was five years ago and it is safe to say mission accomplished.

Trans Representation

Or this one via GIRES sponsored by Thompson Reuters. Thompson Reuters sponsored the infamous Denton’s Document that laid out the strategy on how to take over the world with sex denialism.

U.K Youth.org

This is one of the youth indoctrination centres. Oak funded them by over $250k.

Screenshot

A quick search of their website brought up their links with the most radical of trans activist groups ;All Sorts Youth based in Brighton.

The UK Youth project has Princess Anne as a patron and receives 56% of its funding from the usual suspects in Charitable Foundations. They also get a sizeable chunk of government funding. Princess Anne is not the only royal connection to Oak Foundation.

End Violence Against Women.( EVAW )

This misnomered organisation also benefited from the largesse of Oak Foundation. Unsuprisinly the term woman, to them, is a mixed sex label. A charity for women that fails to focus on women only is an abject failure but the ,mainly young women, have been groomed to work against their own interests.

Here are a couple more clips from EVAW which give a flavour of their betrayal of women. They also take aim at the government (then Conservative) for fanning the flames of “transphobia” and referencing the politically motivated “hate crimes”. They also advocating for specialist services able to focus on niche demographics so that minoritised women get support from their own demographic. This courtesy , naturally, does not include women who want only same sex support.

Royal Connections.

Oak foundation also made a large donation to the Royal Marsden hospital where the Duchess of Cambridge of wales was treated for cancer. They also donated over half a million dollars to the Duke and Duchesses charity. I say this not to advance a conspiracy theory but to illustrate how well connected are these foundations are and how they have the power to set the agenda and undermine democracy.

Global Dialogue

Each of these above organisations merit a deep dive of their own because they, inn turn, distribute grants. However There is one foundation that I will cover shortly.; Global Dialogue. They also received huge amounts of money(Over $4 million) from Oak Foundation and in turn are distributing large amounts of money to further their agenda.

Apart from covering Global Dialogue I have also been encouraged to look at the work Oak Foundation is putting into combatting child sexual abuse and the kind of organisations they are funding. I am told there are connections worth looking into to research whether they are funding those who think the best way to combat CSA is to destigmatise paedophilia and encourage the rebranding as “Minor Attracted People” and promote the idea of “Virtual Paedophiles” who claim to be “no contact” .

Corey Maison

I have decided to cover Corey for my series on marketing the “transgender” child. You can read that series below 👇. Corey is still only in his twenties but has amassed a huge following across a range of social media.

Marketing the Transgender Child

Corey was a huge sensation in the United States; having produced a viral video focused on anti-bullying. This was seized upon by media organisations who were hungry for stories about “transgender children” . This soon reached the U.K and was featured in the Independent and ITV.

Screenshot

His own mother, subsequently, decided she was also “transgender” which generated even more publicity. She was a heterosexual, married, woman who had given birth to five kids.

Screenshot
Screenshot

The mum became Eric after, amid claims she tried, for decades. to suppress the feeling of being a man trapped in a woman’s body; fantasising about suffering with cancer so she could justify get a double mastectomy.

Corey’s fantasy about being the opposite sex began after he was exposed to the reality series featuring Jazz Jennings, former poster kid for the marketing of “the Transgender child”. Jazz has not had a happy trajectory, he is now severely over weight, struggles to form relationships and, overall, is no longer a positive advert for transgender medicine /surgeries.

There is a lot of debate about the role of the media in driving the phenomenon of the “transgender child”. Many of us believe it is fuelling a social contagion. Conversely pro-trans voices argue that increasingly negative coverage is driving down referrals to gender clinics, as in the article below.

Negative Coverage

The autor’s all have a financial interest in the Gender Identity Industry.

They admit that many of their clients were influenced by positive portrayals in the media. Citing Caitlin Jenner, Chelsea Manning and Eliot Page the author’s concede that increased visibility of “transgender” people was driving up demand.

However, in Sweden a documentary covering people who went on to regret their surgeries had the opposite effect and led to a decrease in referrals of 31%.

Screenshot

Young boys, and girls, who are naturally attracted to things associated with the opposite sex are likely to be more vulnerable to the suggest selling of all things “transgender”. Below 👇 is Corey as a young boy which accompanied an article emphasising his love of all the trappings of femininity: “mascara and lipgloss”.

Screenshot

In his viral video he talks about how he did not fit in at school and was bullied about his atypical interests.

Boys who are like Corey often grow up to be gay boys. This seems never to have been considered as an option. Corey’s parents took him out of school to be educated at home. When he returned to the public school system it was to a different schools and as a “girl”. Corey was allowed to use the girl’s facilities and play on the girl’s sports teams.

Corey was put on puberty blockers, age 11 , followed by cross sex hormones, after being socially transitioned. You can find many interviews with Corey and Eric. There is not much of an up to date media presence, for Eric, but Corey is on instagram, twitter, facebook, YouTube, TikTok and, sadly, Only Fans. He appears to have fallen out with his mum and has been evicted from the family home. This is a post from his facebook account pleading with his mum (who he calls his father) for guidance and referencing her alcoholism.

I am going to blur out some of the more explicit images from Maison’s account but he is clearly posting explicit content on any platform that hosts the images. These pictures may have originated from his only fans but I sourced them from images in the public domain.

Corey is a victim but now acting as a social influencer promoting this ideology to his many followers which is why I covered him. He has been badly let down by his parents, doctors and by society. It is not unusual to see men, who transitioned early, acting out in hyper sexualised ways.All the more tragic since there is a high likelihood that he has damaged his sexual function by following this trajectory.

Oak Foundation: Grantees PT 2 a

This is part 2 of a series looking at this foundation and the organisations they bankroll. You can read part one here 👇

Oak Foundation’s Controversial Causes and Funding. Part One

I have covered a few of these “Charitable” foundations; with a specific focus on the United Kingdom. For a global perspective you need to follow @bjprtraits on X and visit her blog which is linked below: 👇

11th Hour Blog

The annual reports for Oak Foundation are readily available, dating back to 2018 and, at the time of writing, up to 2023. I was able to search how many grantees were described as LGBT, versus Lesbian only (none). For this post I searched for grantees based, or with operations in, the United Kingdom. There are too many to fit in one post so I will split this in two parts.

My intention was twofold; first to find out how much Oak is pushing gender identity ideology and secondly to ascertain how many other organisations are compromised by taking the Oak dollar. As you will see, some of those organisations have embraced the transgender propaganda wholesale, even when it appears to be outwith their official remit. Others have refrained from pushing this ideology but I could not find any who have publicly adopted the “gender critical” position. I will be naming the organisations funded by Oak but you should be wary of drawing any firm conclusions in respect of their actual stance on Gender Identity Ideology. The financial clout wielded by so many of these foundations may mean recipients may see little choice but to accept this funding to pursue their charitable cause. We do not know if there are conditions attached to the funding or if the trustees opt to remain silent on gender identity ideology to avoid compromising a funding stream. Individual charities may be doing their utmost to hold the line, on issues like single sex spaces, albeit behind the scenes. Nevertheless it is very difficult for the grantees to be anything but muted about the harms of gender identity ideology, even if it compromises their core objectives. We should all be concerned about this.

Internews

First up is an outfit called internews who took $200,000 and describe themselves as an independent media outlet prizing accurate reporting and holding power to account.

Internews have no hesitation in painting themselves as defenders of women’s rights whilst they are fully paid up proponents of gender ideology, as outlined in their style guide and LGBTQ reporting guide.

Internews cover such ground breaking topics as the impact of Covid on the LGBTQ+ community forced back into a home environment with family invariably portrayed as unsupportive, or even dangerous.

Russell Webster Ltd.

Russell is an independent consultant with numerous publications on the prison system. He links to a lot of content on the experience of LGBT people in prison but I could find nothing on the impact on female prisoners housed with male offenders. He seems unfamiliar with the legally protected characteristics and substitutes “gender” for “sex”.

He was awarded $26,000 by Oak Foundation; whether this played a role in his lack of curiosity about the practical impact of imposing “gender ideology” , in the form of mixed sex prisons, on women, is hard to say. It seems a major sin of omission to me.

Screenshot

Rights Info /Each Other

Rights info are recorded as receiving $380,000 but it appears they subsequently became an organisation called Each Other. (Adam Wagner a barrister specialising in Human Rights cases appears in early material). As Each Other, this organisation is fully committed to sex denialism.

Screenshot

Sadly, for him and the rest of us, the Archbishop of Canterbury appears to have listened to the arguments of “gender identity” ideology as espoused by Vichy, Lesbian, comedian, Sandy Toxic . (oops Toksvig). 👇

The charity is supported by some one of the frequent supporters of LGBTIQ+ outfits the English Collective of Prostitutes, The “trans” ideologues seem particularly enthralled by people is prostitution; which is in itself ironic because the highest number of homicidal deaths, in the trans community, happen to “transgender” males involved in prostitution. They also boast that they are supported by Liberty, The Bar Council and have worked with the EHRC (Equality and Human Rights Council) and, I am sad to see, The Equality Trust.

Liberty is no surprise as I covered that organisation earlier. You can read that here 👇 

Liberty:

 As you can see this organisation is very well connected and the ideological capture by the trans lobby is very evident on their website.

Imkaan

Imkaan got $450,000 from Oak Foundation.

Screenshot

Oak are their main funder as this extract from their accounts illustrates. This is from the Charity Commission for the annual return published in 2023. The charity is in receipt of government and council funding as well as funding from Esmee Fairburn who crop up regularly bankrolling purveyors of gender identity ideology.

Imkaan have a social media account and a very flawed understanding of “trans” history. Here they memorialise a gay man (Marsha P Johnson) as a “transwoman” and activist who they claim particpated in the Stonewall riots, in New York. Marsha was a cross dressing, gay, man and was not a prominent figure in the Stonewall riots. He was among a group of transvestites / men who worked as prostitutes many, like Johnson, were also drug addicts. His behaviour was found so troublesome he was among a group who were ejected from the Gay Liberation front.

Not only does Imkaan propagate the lie that Johnson was a “transwoman” and a major player in the Stonewall riots they also claim “trans sisters” paved the way for women’s liberation. This is laughably false.

They also find time to memorialise the murder of a trans identified man 👇 without feeling it necessary to flesh out the back story. “Naomi” met a man on a swingers site and was murdered after a three day sex and drugs binge. Once again, I remind you that homicides associated with working in prostituion, for this demographic, account for over 60% of the fatalities. This horrific statistic not stop trans lobby groups making #SexWorkIsWork a key part of their propaganda.

Before I leave Imkaan it is work noting that they also claim links with Centre for Women’s Justice, who are also funded by Oak Foundation. Centre for Women’s justice is run by the partner of Julie Bindel.

Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA)

Another beneficiary of Oak Foundation’s largesse is the above charity.

Since their interim C.E.O is Sam Smethers, erstwhile of the Fawcett Society, it is no surprise they are also enmeshed in the belief a women’s rights society should also include men. I was not disappointed. I hope I am giving you a flavour of the way these charities are interlinked: hence the group think. I covered the Fawcett Society in a piece about Jess Phillips. Linked below. The extent of the capture of the charity sector is less of a surprise when you look at all these links.

Jess Phillips. Feminist? Meninist?

Open Democracy.

I have covered Open Democracy before so I will keep it brief. They are funded by quite a lot of foundations including Oak Foundation.

They are also an enthusiastic supporter of prostitution.

More on Open Democracy here: 👇

Open Democracy?

Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Oak Foundation gave quite a hefty donation to Marie Curie. Sadly they are all in on the trans agenda and produce guidance on maintaining a “trans” identity in the face of a terminal diagnosis. They cover issues such as pronouns, concern about exposing their genitals to carers and 👇 continued access to synthetic hormones.

The guidance also signposts readers to the “trans” lobby groups Stonewall and LGBT Foundation.

I will cover further grantees in part two on funding. Like Japanese knotweed their roots are deeply embedded in the charity sector. Japanese knotweed was first introduced by Victorian gardeners and prized for its attractive flowers, until it became known for its invasive and harmful effects, and was outlawed. There is a lesson there for us all.

Oak Foundation’s Controversial Causes and Funding. Part One

Oak Foundation is a global outfit, founded by a British man, Alan Parker, who made his fortune via DFS group, a company based in Hong Kong, DFS group retailed luxury items, at Duty Free shops around the world. According to Influence Watch Parker was an accountant who put his skills to the task of legal tax minimisation.

Parker then sold his shares, moved to Switzerland and set up his foundation. According to their Annual report the amount of donations to their favoured causes was $159 million in 2013 and by 2023 had reached $474 million. Influence Watch describe their preferred causes as “left wing” ; a description embraced by modern social justice warriors. Among the causes they support are tackling homelessness, environmentalism, human rights, women’s issues (more on this later) and tackling child sexual abuse. In common with a lot of other “philanthropic” bodies (Arcus Foundation and Open Society Foundation, to name but two) Oak Foundation is heavily invested in the spread of transgender ideology which is what brought them to my attention.

In the 2018 annual report the foundation notes that it has attracted criticism for their western led approach to human rights and failure to tackle issues such as economic inequality which has resulted in a declining faith in democracy. They sum up the criticism in this quote and then spectacularly miss the point with their defence. This is why I raise a question mark in relation to the labelling of these foundations as “left wing”. They are rightly criticised for the focus on individualist solutions, as opposed to collectivist, it is clear they operate within a global capitalist framework.

To ascertain which causes have attracted Oak funds I scoured all the availabe Annual Reports, back to 2018. In this year a search revealed a search for the word Lesbian yielded zero results. A search for gay yielded just one result which included gay men alongside transgender and bisexual in a charity called “Women’s Refugee Commission”. There are just five references to LGBT and only one grant awarded under this heading. This turned out to be relation to the criminalisation of same sex relations.

Tracing the foundations up to 2023 we see that those 5 references to LGBT increase significantly as do the monies doled out to these causes. These are the LGBT causes funded in 2023.

Screenshot

Note that, despite the name, Astrea Lesbian Foundation is a hijacked organisation that began life advocating for Lesbians. I have done a series on them because they are also funded by Arcus Foundation, another big player in the spread of Gender Identity Ideology. Link below:

Astraea Lesbian Foundation

This is the one highlighted as a project based in the UK. There are quite a few organisations tackling housing problems specifically for LGBTQI + communities.

Screenshot

The 2022 grants also fund this charity 👇 which is a retirement project for LGBTQ people in London.

Screenshot

The CEO and Head of Operations, at Tonic Housing, previously held posts in the housing sector with a specific focus on LGBTQI+ groups.. Ben Green (He/Him)has history with Stonewall Housing and LGBT Foundation.

Anna Kear, CEO is a She/They with links to the London Mayor who also provided funding. (Despite objections to the forced teaming of the LGB with the T, the endeavour sounds as if it could be fantastic for Londoners, if the L&G are allowed to express their same SEX attraction and not forced to view themselves via the prism of gender identity ideology).

Here is the full list of organisations, labelled LGBTQ, who recieved funding from Oak Foundation.

Screenshot

Here is how the akt grant was described.

Screenshot

This will be a three part series because Oak Fdn does not restrict its donations to the LGBTQI+. They also fund numerous other charities who may find themselves silenced expressing any opposition to the spread of transgender ideology, They may in fact feel coerced into adherence to gender identity ideology or may be enthusiastic proponents. I will focus on these charities for part two. Part three will look at who is being funded for the campaign to end child sexual abuse and what, precisely, they are arguing for…. In part this is motivated by a man, in reciept of Oak funding, one who is undertaking joint work with James Cantor. Cantor is on record saying paedophilia is a sexual orientation 👇 and should be added to the LGBTQ etc. l will look at who is being funded and how prevalent is this stance. I am not prejudging what I will find it maybe that there is nothing to see here but I will be looking.

Kick it Out

This charity began life as an anti-racism charity focussed on football. It was set up in 1997 and originally branded “Kick Racism out of Football”. It is not an insignificant charity and was originally partnered with the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE). The CRE was subsequently absorbed into the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC).Their main funding sources are the key Football bodies and they are also partnered with Sky.

The charity has close ties to the Football Association who recently issued a six match man for a, 17 year old, autistic, female, player who had the temerity to challenge a male player; who was using his status as a sex mimic to invade female sport. Here are a couple of quotes from the Daily Mail coverage on that case: 👇

It was this incident that prompted me to have a closer look at “Kick it Out” who are a limited company, and a registered charity. The majority of their funding comes from the main football bodies though latterly they began to recive grants from other organisations and to attract government funding. This is a snapshot of one years funding and these funding sources carry on from 1998 to 2023 as reflected in all their public accounts.

Screenshot

Latterly they have also received government funding and funding from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). The Annual Trustee reports contained in the accounts allow us to trace the mission creep of Kick it Out, which began with a narrow focus on racism but eventually extended its remit to coverage a range of “equality” and “diversity” issues . The failure to focus on their core aims has resulted in a dilution of their effectiveness and led them into an anti-equality territory; where women’s rights to fair sport are concerned.

The mission first expanded to focus on the gypsy /traveller community and a specific focus on refugees and asylum seekers. Gradually it began to advocate against homophobia in football and subsequently they turned their attention to bisexuals and sex mimics (“trans”) people.

It seems they then realised that there were women among the traveller community and ethnic minorities and the charity began adding mention of the women from these demographics to their annual reports. About this time they also added a couple of female trustees to their previously all male board. Clearly they were concerned that the board was male, stale and pale so the surnames of their trustees also began to include members drawn from the African diaspora. This focus seems like a logical extension of their activities and is compatible with an anti-racist stance.

The language in the annual reports from the trustees begins to shift to an all encompassing concern with diversity,

Equality & Human Rights Commisssion

It is not until 2010 that the charity moves to expand their advocacy to cover LGBT issues which seems to have originated with the acceptance of a grant from the EHRC.

I suspect the trustees little understood that they had embarked on a path which would result in a stance incompatible with the human rights of women. Whether the staff, at the EHRC, foresaw the end game resulting in sex denialism and males in women’s sports is not clear. The EHRC, in 2010 , was headed up by Trevor Phillips. Even if Phillips had no sinister intent it is perfectly possible that there were activists embedded in the EHRC whose motivations were less than benign re the impact on women.

European Connection: FARE

Kick it out also collaborates with a European body FARE. I am intuiting that this organisation began life as Football Against Racism but their current website makes no reference to this. It is likely that the title disappeared as their mission also expanded to a more comprehensive campaign on behalf of “diversity” and the old name no longer encompassed the breadth of their mission,.

Screenshot

They do not list their 150 partners in full but do name FIFA, UEFA and the European Commission. On their list of FARE board members is one Howard Holmes who was also a long time trustee of Kick-it Out.

I located a likely twitter account for Holmes which focuses on anti-racism only. The other UK board member is more interesting and even manages to have a neo-pronoun I have never heard of before. (update. apparently the peonouns are in the Welsh language).

It may also be pertinent that Kick it Out reference their desire to obtain European funding in their trustee report. Presumably it would soon become apparent that, in order to secure any European Funding it was necessary to embrace the alphabet soup.

Screenshot

Sophie Cook

Fast forward to 2017 and the organisation seems to have gone full steam ahead by embracing the “trans” influencer who calls himself Sophie Cook. Cook was, by now, an ambassador for Kick it Out and headlined an event called “Raise Your Game” aimed at women footballers. I guess the title was advance warning for the stiff competition about to be introduced to the female game; in the form of sex mimics.

You can read more about Cook in a piece did on him when he was also recruited by the Crown Prosecution Services.

Sophie Cook: TRAs behind the scenes

You can watch him in action talking about his role at Kick it Out here 👇

Cook kicks it out

Screenshot

Chris Paouros

Also appearing, in the above YouTube video, alongside Cook, is Chris Paouros who became a trustee for Kick it Out in 2019. Paouros was also a member of the Women’s Equality Party who at the outset adopted the stance that sex mimics could be included as women. My series on the WEP is linked below.

Women’s Equality Party

I have chosen to focus on Paouros because she is a great illustration of where the fallacy (or phallussy) of intersectional feminism leads.

Screenshot

Paouros has quite the portfolio of volunteer work on her preferred version of LGBTQ+ activism.

I determined it would be worth a closer look at Paouros who is one of those Vichy Lesbians who has let herself be manipulated into undermining women’s rights. She gives quite a lot away in this YouTube interview.👇

Women in Football

The implications of allowing men into women’s sports are never directly addressed but she is quite happy to chant the expected mantras for the inclusion of “trans” in her advocacy ;whilst deluding herself she is a feminist.

Screenshot

She leaved with this parting shot even and a quote from Audre Lorde 👇. The fact that Patriarchy has just donned a frock and some fake tits has entirely bypassed Paouros’s feminist consciousness. Allowing some tools in female sports will dismantle female sports.

Screenshot

Paouros is also Vice Chair of an organisation called Proud Lillywhites whose YouTube is so ignorant about the history of gay rights that is quotes the disproven myths about the Stonewall riots.

Paourus has a twitter account which does not deviate from the woke script for proponents of diversity and inclusion. Pronouns in bio. & tweets on George Floyd/ Black Lives Matter litter her account. Still up are tweets about a criminal who was shot dead by British police following a confrontation. (The police officer was subsequently exonerated and the victim was revealed as a career criminal.),

Paouros ‘s inclusion in the charity was likely the consequence of the charity’s new direction rather than as a result of her input but she certainly is unlikely to have been a dissenting voice on the inclusion of the T in LGBT.

Education & Re-Education

The trustees report a number of collaborations on developing educational resources for schools with the Dept of Education and the NUT (National Union of Teachers).

Screenshot

Kick it Out also recived NUT funding for a conference and the Home Office also contributed funding for a festival to promote their aims. (Note that Lloyds TSB also provided financial backing for an events coordinator.)

Screenshot

One of the more disturbing aspects of Kick it Out is their fan re-education programme. It seems that as the rhetoric was heightened to label purported anti LGBT statements as “hate inspired” activities. Note that this includes the “crime” of sex recognition.


Screenshot

The inclusion of “transphobia” is particularly chilling when you reflect that Kick it Out also launched an application that can be downloaded onto a smart phone to facilitate anonymous reporting. Not only that but the charity liaises with the police and counter terrorism to not only supply intelligence but to be involved in “offender” rehabilitation.

Screenshot
Screenshot

Then they came for the Cricket

Before I leave Kick it Out, on football, it is worth noting that they are also in talks with the English Cricket Board to infect their sport with their wokery. The ECB paid them 100k!

Screenshot

Online Safety Bill

I note that Kick it Out are also involved in consultations on the online safety legislation. It requires a more specialist opinion on that legislation; suffice to say I do not think this organisation is likely to understand the importance of free speech. I instinctively find myself concerned about issues like pornography and on-line content, in general, for under eighteens. At the same time I am hesitant about the envisaged role for bodies like kick it out as a “super complainant” who stands to profit from referrals to them for fan re-education.. I have not reached firm conclusions on this topic myself so I will link below two perspectives.

For more on this see the Free Speech Union.

Conclusion

I don’t wish to add to the hyperbole but having followed some of the excesses of the police on this issue I do not think it is excessive to raise serious concerns about where we are heading. I think we, as a country, have been taken down a sinister path. My concern is primarily related to the de facto criminalisation of sex recognition. However we are also witnessing a stifling of public concern about islamic extremism and this is also a serious issue of concern.

Roberta /Robert Cowell

Robert Cowell is another heterosexual man who followed the well travelled path from transvestite to sex mimic. He married and fathered children but had an escalating tendency to steal his wife’s clothes to cross dress; likely because it gave him a sexual charge. He is now being promoted to primary school children, by organisations such as Stonewall.

Cowell is also used as propaganda by a less well known organisation, Jigsaw, who provides PSHE (Personal, Social,Health, Education) for ages 3 to 11.

Early life

The true story of Robert Cowell is not quite so savoury as presented to your nursery and primary school children. Cowell was the middle child of three children, from a well-to-do family. His father was a surgeon who held high rank in the military. Robert was educated at public school, he graduated from University, with a degree in engineering. and later joined the R.A.F where he became a spitfire pilot in WW2. He was later shot down and became a prisoner of war. 👇. He was also a motor racing enthusiast.

Marriage and fatherhood

Robert claims he was attracted to aggressive, male pursuits to mask his “feminine” traits. He would meet his wife, Zelda, at University, where she also obtained a degree in engineering. They married and Robert fathered two children. The marriage was punctuated by his increasing need to wear Zelda’s clothing which is captured in media coverage at the time.👇 This compulsion escalated, as paraphilia will, over time. Robert also had affairs with other women. Zelda divorced her husband in 1952 following his desertion of her and their children, in 1948. He had already been allowed to change his birth certificate, (in 1951) to record him as a female despite being married). This is why Trans Widows are fighting to retain the Spousal Exit Clause so they are not having their marriage contract changed against their wishes. Cowell never saw his daughters again, despite living until age 93.

Zelda 👆 writes about her decision to inform her daughter about her father so she did not learn about it via the newspapers. However at least one of her daughters was not spared this as she explained in an interview after Cowell’s death. She read about it in the newspaper. 👇

Screenshot

Cowell was deeply entrenched in the fantasy /delusion that he was really a woman, right down to his chromosomes. He claims that, even as a schoolboy, he had to mask his feminine physical characteristics by binding his “breasts” and that he was ashamed of his abnormal genitals. This is what is known as a “retconned” narrative (con for short) where a man does his level best to distance himself from accusations of transvestic fetishism by claiming he was actually always a woman and locating his realisation to when he was a child.

This is obviously false as he fathered two children, continued to have affairs, and his wife expresses her shock when Cowell’s mother informed her about his “transition”. She had never noticed any biological issues. Here his a picture of him and he is very evidently male

Screenshot

His ex wife was shocked when informed by Cowell’s mother.

In 1951 Cowell persuaded a doctor to support his request for a female birth certificate to be issued, under the name Roberta. Cowell is deeply immersed in his belief that he has an genetic abnormality but in order to “prove” this he had to repudiate the children and claim they were the product of his wife’s affairs. I can only conjecture what the social consequences were for her, or the children, but it seems the two daughters not only lost their father but were sent to live with their grandparents. Meanwhile Zelda remarried and had three further children.

Michael Dillon

At the time of his desertion Cowell met a woman who was identifying as a man and in the midst of obtaining a medical degree. Michael Dillon was also from a supremely privileged background being the, expensively educated, neice of a baronet.

It seems Dillon became infatuated with Cowell, a feeling that went unreciprocated, but which was likely instrumental in persuading Dillon to risk her medical licence by performing an orchiectomy (castration) on Cowell. It was presumably this that allowed him to persuade a gynaecologist he was “intersex” which is a disorder of sexual development.

Dillon would move to India, become a buddhist monk, and die aged just 47, in 1962.

Picture Post.

Cowell would go on to sell his story to the Picture post for a huge sum of money purportedly to clear his debts. There is no evidence that he used the large payment to support his children. He had been involved in an engineering company and also a company designing women’s clothes, but both companies had collapsed. He also needed to pay for the penis removal and the facial feminisation surgery. It was presumably this coverage that impacted his daughter.

Screenshot

Cowell also produced an autobiography which I found on Amazon for £200! No, I did not invest in a copy.

Screenshot

An immersive fiction.

Cowell is keen to promote the idea that he is a woman right down to his chromosomes. The fact that he passed a medical to enter the R.A.F casts further doubt on these assertions. Cowell has claimed to be “intersex” and that he is a woman “glandularly”, psychologically” etc. At one point he claimed to have ovaries.

Rather bizarrely he claimed that the stress of being held in a prisoner of war camp may have “brought out her underlying female biology” . It is absolutely ludicrous that medical professionals and psychologists /sexologists fall for this guff. Being a woman is a stress induced condition? 🤡!

Screenshot

His own father seemed to have thought his son could bear children until he retracted it and agreed his son was not a “hermaphrodite” but a transvestist”. This is a more believable scenario.

Screenshot

Attitude to woman and “transphobia”.

Cowell was not exactly enamoured of his brothers in gold lame or feminists. He spoke out agains “women’s lib” and men following in his footsteps, calling them “freaks”. This is an excerpt from an interview he did in 1972. 👇.

Screenshot

These men are treated like modern day Tiresias as if these men can offer any insight into womanhood. He describes the expectations on men to perform “masculinity” while he projects a passive existence on women who “simply be”. This is so obviously a patronising view of women and is the attitude of a male chauvinist.

Screenshot

Cowell continued to compete in mother racing now stealing prizes from women. Here is a news reel showing footage of Cowell in motor racing mode.

Cowell wins race

Conclusion.

In summary Cowell was a cross dresser whose addiction to transvestic fetishism escalated until he could not control his paraphilia. He laid waste to his marriage and deserted his family, never to see his children again. In order to secure a new birth certificate he claimed to have a genetic abnormality that had resulted in him being wrongly classified as male. To give credence to this fiction he had to repudiate his children and accuse his wife of infidelity. He did this whilst having affairs himself.

In order to recoup the money he had spent on expensive surgeries he went public with his story in complete disregard for the impact on his ex wife and children. There is no evidence he provided any financial support for his family despite the money he received for press coverage and his book. He appears to have used the money to fund his motor racing, women’s clothing and trips abroad accompanied by various women.
Cowell was aware that he still appeared male and avoided those who would recognise his sex as he said himself. Children and elderly ladies seem to have been the worst culprits for truth telling. 👇

Screenshot

Here are a few more images of Cowell. He clearly does not “pass” and now that I have read so many of these narratives I am all out of compassion. These men are incredibly narcissistic and selfish leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.

Cowell died in 2011 and only six people came to his funeral. He gave instructions that there was to be no publicity and his daughters did not find out he was dead until two years later. The final insult.

Melissa Poulton /Matthew Viner

Poulton is a man called Matthew Viner who now goes by the name Melissa Poulton. He is not only a heterosexual man, and a father, he is an ex Conservative Party candidate. He jumped ship to the Green Party in 2020. Despite his political history he was selected as parliamentary candidate for the Greens: Standing in the constituency of Bromsgrove.

Screenshot

This is Matthew in man mode. 😳 Classy pose beside a discarded mattress.

Screenshot

Here is his campaign literature for the Conservatives and him wearing a T shirt advertising his very public repudiation of his former party.

None Crime Hate Incident.

Viner/Poulton caused a little media furore when a candidate standing in a neighbouring constituency spoke out about his candidacy after Viner retweeted support for a campaign to increase female representation in parliament. Viner was doing his bit by trying to get elected.😳

This hypocrisy was called out by a female M.P in a neighbouring constituency.

Laughable as this is there is a more serious concern since Mclean had her comment recorded as a Non-Crime hate incident by the police.

Both the Labour leader of Redditch council and co-leader of the Green Party (since elected as an MP) criticised Mclean and defended Viner.

Skin Walker: Usurping a wife’s identity.

You will notice that his previous surname was Viner but he has now adopted the surname of his ex partner; who is the mother of his daughter. This is not uncommon and is a phenomenon I covered in an earlier piece. This is from a piece written by the wife of a cross-dressing man. She counselled women in a similar position and says she has spoken to over 2000 of these wives. Here are some of her observations.

Full piece is here 👇

You can ignore the timelines in this article which don’t make any sense. If they are correct Viner has a daughter, aged 18, with Poulton, and Viner was with her for nearly two decades. Her son describes his revelation as a complete shock to his mother.

Ollie Poulton also described how his stepfather started acting weird and staying out all hours.

Viner’s , alleged,social media activity was uncovered and posted on twitter. He appears to have deleted these accounts, Here is a sample: 👇 It seems that Viner has been dabbling in a bit of sissy porn.

This was also uncovered by Genevieve Gluck of Reduxx magazine.

For more on Sissy Porn here is an article that delves into the disturbing nature of this sexual fetish.

Joanna Stuart-Rowland

Featured

Joanna Stuart-Rowland has been arrested following the death of his husband Andrew Rowland. Both are biological males, a.k.a men. I had not encountered Stuart before but he appears to have been somewhat of a fixture on the Brighton scene.

Media Coverage.

Naturally this is reported as a woman’s (alleged) crime by some outlets, notably the BBC, who manage not to mention any detail to give readers any hint that the accused is a man.

Screenshot

BBC Coverage

Other outlets reported it as an (alleged) crime by a “trans woman” and with the added detail of the Samurai Sword.

Transexual “Lesbians”

On further digging it appears that Andrew used to go by the name “Angela” or “Angie” and their wedding was covered by a few outlets. This is how it was covered in the Irish Independent, in 2006. The two men were described as “Lesbians”.

Turns out they used to run something called Brighton Belles, now deleted, but retrieved from an archive page.

Here is how “Angie” described Jo. “Mistress of the purse Strings” and a Devout christian. To nobodies surprise both are heavily into computers.

Here is how Jo describes “Angie”: “Faithful companion”. I think the language used, by both, conveys the impression that “Jo” was the dominant partner at this time in the relationship. I wonder how “Angie” reacted to “Andy” shifted the dynamic between them?

Companies.

As is frequently the case, it turns out that Stuart-Rowland has a background as a company director and involved in LGBT groups among other ventures.

Screenshot

Here is a full list of all the companies he was involved in 👇. I was surprised to see his time at one of them overlapped with Linda Bellos: Lesbian and founder of Black History Month. Ovingdean is a charity supporting education for the deaf. Stuart is deaf.

Screenshot

PCS Union, Learning Skills Council, Police, etc.

Stuart was also a “Transgender” representative for the Public Health and Commercial Services Union, involved in the local church and, more worryingly, with the local police. The Clare Project, he mentions below 👇 is a, Sussex based, support group for “trans” & non-binary people.

He also reports being part of this civil service group 👇

He has a YouTube account with only one video about the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner.

Screenshot

Here he appears to be educating the police on community engagement 👇

Screenshot

You can watch the footage of Stuart being interviewed by Sophie Cook, for the above event. here: 👇

LGBT Safety Forum

The police were also present at this event, together with Local Labour councillor, Lloyd Russell-Moyles who would go onto become an M.P. (At the time of writing he is not being allowed to stand,in the forthcoming election, due to unspecified, and unproven, allegations; dating back eight years).

The above event was organised by Sophie Cook, another trans activist who is a champion for the Crown Prosecution Services. Politicians Jeremy Corbyn and Caroline Lucas sent congratulatory messages.

Both Start and Rowland were consulted on this domestic violence project.

Social Media Presence

I could not locate a twitter presence and he does not appear to have graced prominent YouTube/Podcasts about trans figures. I was sent some facebook exchanges about his love of Dungeons and Dragons. As always I had many tips for this piece, far too many to name, you know who you are. If anyone spots anything I have missed I will add it. Finally let us not forget a man appears to have died a horrific death, which will create quite the dilemma for the compilers of trans murders and trans crimes, May he Rest in Peace.

Trustee of a Charity.

After I published someone informed me he is also involved in a charity. I had a quick check and he is a trustee of this Outreach Brighton and Hove. Their reporting is over due by 1218 days, i.e. nearly 3 and a half years! The charity focus is about personal safety and domestic abuse. Now it seems they have an alleged perpetrator as a trustee. (Incidentally Clive Mockford appears as a trustee of this charity and is also listed a co-director, with Stuart, in one of the above companies.)

Joanne/Peter Lockwood 2

Featured

You can read part 1 here:

Joanne (Pete) Lockwood

Lockwood is a married, heterosexual, father of two. He is a late “transitioner” and followed the well worn path from part-time cross-dresser to full-time cross-dresser who now cals himself a woman. No longer able to restrict his cross-dressing, to evenings and weekends, he sold his share of an IT business to allow him to be his authentic self. He subsequently set up a company, to provide training on how to be more “inclusive”. He joins a number of men who have made their fetish into a career. The company name is See Change Happen and is registered at companies house.

Screenshot

The directors are Lockwood and his wife, Marie Manley.

This is the blurb o his website: Predictably the focus is on “diversity

Screenshot

As is my custom, I had a look at the company accounts to see if there was anything of interest. There was not.

Inclusion Bites.

Lockwood also has a podcast called inclusion bites which you can find on YouTube and apple podcasts.

Screenshot

There is a lot of content which may merit a detailed look but, for now, I chose just two episodes to look at. First up our Joanne is doling out legal advice which is, unsprisingly incorrect.

The Equality Act, 2010

Given the number of legal cases arising from, wilful, misinterpretations of the law, it seems H.R departments would be well advised to cease sub-contracting out to those with a vested interest. Here is Lockwood confidently giving false advice about the nine, legally, protected characteristics, under the Equality Act, 2010. Here is Joe’s version. alongside the correct guidance. You will see that Lockwood adds “gender” to sex; the only one he misrepresents.

Lockwood on the Equality Act

The bullying of “Transwomen”!

Another episode focuses on the victimisation of men who demand to be accepted as women. He first emphasises a “born this way” narrative about his “transness”. As we will see, later, this is not quite the unvarnished truth. The entire episode is a master class in victimology.

Screenshot

He opens by saying he became aware that he was “different” aged three or four. He claimed his parents and other adults were corrective of his behaviour; whilst not specifying exactly what “behaviours”. We learn that he is left-handed which allows him to the, historical, misguided attempt at “conversion therapy” to make children right handed. As he explains left-handed people were demonised, persecuted and even killed though, needless to say, not in his lifetime. This allows Lockwood to claim further oppression points and also to claim his “transness” is hard-wired in much the same way as his left-handedness.

Screenshot

He elaborates on his feelings about his marginalised status. He feels excluded, marginalised and bullied. I think he his replying to the concerns of women, who want to maintain our single sex spaces. Joanne here makes it clear that the “women” we should be prioritising are the ones who put the man in woman.

Screenshot

For a group who seem to have the establishment in their pocket, changing laws and language to bend to their will, the level of paranoia is astonishing. Despite the over-representation of sex offenders, in prison, claiming a “trans” identity, the media do their level best to disguise this as crimes committed by women. Men are being allowed to compete against women, in sport, despite the blatant unfairness. We are being dehumanised by being renamed such language as “bleeeders” ; “cervix-havers” etc. This is aimed at MEN but also men who identify as women because all evidence points to sexual deviance which motivates these men.

Screenshot

Of course he would have gotten away with it were it not for those pesky gender critical women. It’s not Fair! Lockwood, to plagiarise Julie Burchill, is the Violet Elizabeth Bott of “transwomen”.. I would accuse him of persecutory delusions but we do indeed think he is unworthy of the moniker “woman”. We do want him excluded from single sex spaces. I would like also like him marginalised from any discussion on women’s rights just as we don’t want any man telling us what rights we are allowed to have,

Here is a link for you to watch it yourself 👇

Who are the bullies?

Gloriously Unready!

Screenshot

It is his guest appearance on this podcast that is most revealing. It is hosted by a mum of two “transgender” kids (What are the chances?). This discussion is from a couple of years ago. I have covered many “trans narratives” and it is noticeable that males tend to furiously deny any sexual motivation for their “transition”. Many of the males are older so parents are either deceased or don’t have a platform to contradict tales from their childhood. The men tend to claim they have known they were really girls from a prepubertal age which serves to suggest its innate and definitely not sexual.

Time to familiarise yourself with “retconned narratives”.

This can also apply to females though the motivations are different. It is notable Stephen Whittle’s account of her childhood and parental attitude to her trans identity changed markedly after her parents were, presumably, not around to contradict her. This was all the more extraordinary because all her previous interviews are all in the public domain. Heres my series on Whittle

Stephen Whittle

Lockwood is married, to Marie, and they have a son and a daughter. As a young man he joined the R.A.F but latterly he was a partner in an IT company, which was sold in 2017, prior to him coming out as “trans”. Elsewhere he describes subsequent financial difficulties which resulted in a voluntary agreement in order to satisfy his creditors. The selling of the family home is sometimes described as a financial necessity and at other times as a means to downsize to a dream, waterfront property. The other discrepancy is that he also talks about his expenses for his medical treatments which does not seem to square with someone in straitened financial circumstances.

Screenshot

Lockwood describes a long marriage that had its difficulties and during periods of turmoil both had sought solace elsewhere and he recounts many, alcohol fuelled, arguments. During one of these periods he blurted out a truth of which his wife was unaware; he had cross dressed, furtively, throughout their marriage.

Screenshot

Lockwood describes how maintaining his family unity was a key priority for him, I believe him, these men are desperate to remain in their marriages, for a ready supply of validation and because, by hell, do those transwidows shed an ugly light on their exes.

It was after this disclosure that the couple reconciled so the reunion was in the full knowledge of his proclivities. He describes acceptance of his cross-dressing as not exactly a “condition” but “in the deck”. Thereafter he begins to test the boundaries in the bedroom, whether he would “transition” and whether he would break his promise to keepmit from their children, family and social circle. He breaks everyone of these promises. Telling his son, his daughter and making a facebook announcement. Thereafter they began incorporating this into the marriage, though it is not known if Marie was enthusiastic about this or merely resigned. I am guessing the latter from the phrase “willing to go along with it”.

Screenshot

It maybe that she wearied of these extra conjugal duties because she soon began to drop him off at places where he could meet like minded people.

Screenshot

Lockwood then describes the escalation of his desire to cross dress. He had assured his wife he did not wish to “transition” ; this is a common deceit in these type of men. At the outset he was anxious when attending these events; worried about his outfits and make-up. Eventually he began, instead, to dread the return to his normal presentation and the balance began to shift. He does describe trying to get rid of this compulsion by growing a beard. He hoped the incongruity of the beard and a dress would enable him to put the genie back in the bottle. A lot of these men have cycles of binge and purge where they may get rid of their female clothing only to succumb and purchase them all over again. (Incidentally, many trans widows report a catastrophic impact on the family financial coffers )After attempting, and failing, to purge himself of the clothing, and the desire, he finally succumbed to his desire for a full time presentation as a “woman”.

I described some of Maria’s difficulties in part one at one point daring to call him selfish. Now, however, she works with her husband, counselling other women in the same situation and seems to have fully accepted that she now has a “wife”. From an outsider perspective it’s is clear to see, that Marie has been co-opted to serve as a sister wife to validate her husband in his fetish. There’s something really telling when he explains how his testosterone levels are very similar to women’s and his oestrogen levels are similar to women twenty or thirty years younger than his wife, who will be post menopausal. Debbie/David Hayton made a similar observation and I clocked it, immediately as a sly dig at his wife, a sort of “I am more woman than you”.

ScreenshotMy jaw dro

My jaw dropped when I heard him admit this. 👇 Of course he had belonged to a men only club and admits that he still supports single sex /gender spaces which would conveniently include him under “gender”. He seemed quite put out when he was initially not included,in his new guise, and then shows precisely what he thinks of women by the utterly male assumption about women’s chat. Jan Morris expressed similar views.

Screenshot

Apparently listening to women defend out sex based rights is “pandering to a vocal minority”. Of course this is D.A.R.V.O (Deny, Reverse,Victim and Offender). It is well worth listening to his dismissive tone when he talks about sport and the safety of women and girls. Yes, he is right it is predatory men that are the problem and how do we know you are not one of them when you are prepared to breach our boundaries.

Screenshot

 Confessions of a Cross-Dresser

Before I sign off I also found an interview Marie did about being on a “trans” journey with her husband. She echoes all of her husband’s account and berates herself for being selfish when he came out. Like a slowly boiled frog he seems to have broken down any resistance.

Joanne (Pete) Lockwood

Featured

Lockwood was born Peter, in 1965. He has been married at least thirty one years and has at least two children. He has quite a lot of content on his own podcast and has done interviews where he explains that he sold his business, predictably in IT, to live his authentic truth. He appears to have started living as a full-time cross-dresser (inBBC speak “as a woman”) in his late fifties. Subsequently he got caught up in tax arrears, lost his house and took out an IVA which is an agreement to pay off his creditors. It’s worth thinking about in what predicament this left his wife. Also worth reflecting on this which is on his YouTube channel. £7000 spent on personal grooming.

Screenshot

He has recently begun to be trotted out on GB News which is where I came across him. Before I get into all his other content it is worth looking at this Channel 4 documentary which focuses on Jo/Pete getting a new wig.

Screenshot

In marked contrast to his wife Lockwood is clearly giddy with the attention he is getting. Marie, his wife, has to go outside and in another space to hide her tears. Her husband has already been on hormones for two years but watching him get a more permanent weave/wig is clearly traumatising.

Screenshot

Clearly she is wondering how she will feel sexually attractive to him whilst he emphasises that he doesn’t want to lose her because they are best friends. He needs a woman to cos play as his girl friend to make the fantasy real.

The young hairdresser sees Marie go outside and Lockwood emphasises his care for her and his empathy, the cynic in me thinks he has read that females are more empathetic and so he must perform it now he is a “Lady”. Her distress provides another opportunity for him to indulge his fantasy.

Screenshot

By contrast Marie constantly suppresses her own feelings to prioritise her husbands but she is clearly struggling.

Screenshot

Lockwood can barely suppress his excitement at his transformation and, in a very revealing, aside he lets slip what this is really all about. There are three of them in this marriage and two of them are Pete/Jo.

Screenshot

After expressing her difficulty with accepting his transformation and indication that divorce couls still be on the cards they have this exchange. He did try to inject somewhat of a questioning tone to his voice but the words are stark.

Marie tries to make light of it and jokes that he would have to get divorced first snd also that she still has not made her mind up. Clearly this attempt at levity is too much of her and she moves away and turns her back on the camera and is clearly sobbing, Notice how every time she dares to think about the impact on her she soon centres her husband. She knows he is the most important person in this drama, to everybody around her and doesn’t even dare to say the truth that its invaded HER life.

Screenshot

Meanwhile The husband talks like a teenage boy fantasising about his very own pair of tits. I don’t know any women who celebrate the bouncing breasts of the stairs climber. But “Jo” finds this validating. Interestingly this was the segment of the show about how Marie was finding it difficult to come to terms with and it soon becomes clear they are in separate beds.

Screenshot

He cant see anything beyond his own need for validation. The next seen is a visit to a couple who are friends. Marie has decided not to go and look at how her husband describes this and how soon he brings the discussion to focus on himself. Her pain is another opportunity to revel in his own “femininity”

Screenshot

When he arrives at the friends’ house, without his wife he can’t resist telling them that it was Marie who put his hair in a bun while he asks the male friend which hair colour he prefers referring to his previous, blond, wig. Men like this require validation from males as well as females.

Marie must have some good friends who have told her what he is doing is selfish. Bravo her for feeling able to vocalise it. “Selfish” is in her top ten of words to describe what he is doing. That is not all he is doing but Marie likely doesnt have any experience of this and is blindsided after thirty one years of marriage.

The show ends with Marie and “Jo” celebrating their thirty first wedding anniversary with a trip to Amsterdam.

The Making Of Me

I will do a follow up piece on his podcast content and his new career as a public speaker and diversity consultant. I have already listened to his first podcast where he, predictably, picked (tricked?) a woman with a PhD who talks about neuroscience and discrimination against women in the workplace. Ironically she is big on trusting your instincts but thinks some women should deny their instinctive recognition of men, She was smug and infuriating…till next time.
