The dark underbelly of trans ideology

Women are constantly being told that they have nothing to fear from men invading their spaces. Whether it’s sports, prisons or rape-crisis centres, women are expected to greet biologically male ‘transwomen’ without fuss and with open arms. When predatory men inevitably take advantage of ‘trans inclusive’ policies, the grim and tragic consequences are often swept under the rug by the media and the political class. News articles about sexual-assault cases are replete with references to ‘her penis’. We read about ‘women’ committing grotesque crimes, beneath pictures of men sporting beards and ill-fitting wigs.

Genevieve Gluck, co-founder of Reduxx, is working tirelessly to challenge this. Her magazine exposes the dark, disturbing and often cruel consequences of letting gender ideology run amok. Genevieve appeared on The Brendan O’Neill Show recently to discuss some of Reduxx’s most harrowing recent stories. What follows is an edited extract from that conversation. Listen to the full thing here.

Brendan O’Neill: I want to ask you about a couple of stories that you and your team published recently on Reduxx – in particular the case of a Danish woman named Lotte Ingerslev. What can you tell us about it?

Genevieve Gluck: Lotte Ingerslev is a gender-critical psychotherapist and blogger. Earlier this year, she wrote a long post concerning a man who called himself Nadia Jacobsen. Jacobsen had been working on ‘inclusivity’ policies for the Danish Football Association – specifically, new guidelines that allowed men into women’s changing rooms.

Ingerslev was concerned about this because she had stumbled across pornography that he was publishing of himself online. This particular genre of porn is called ‘sissy’ porn, where a man is forcibly ‘feminised’ by being made to wear things such as lingerie or makeup, and is sexually penetrated. In this type of pornography, the belief is that being penetrated makes a man a woman. It eroticises humiliation and degradation. Ingerslev was questioning why a man who is interested in this is an adviser for inclusivity guidelines for the Danish Football Association.

Within days of Ingerslev publishing her blog post, Jacobsen had got some of his friends and trans activists to rally around this issue. They tried to have Ingerslev’s whole blog pulled. Then they began to harass and dox her. One of Jacobsen’s friends was able to get her address and a satellite image of her home, which they published online.

Instead of them being held to account, Ingerslev is the one who is being taken to court. A legal threat is demanding she pay Jacobsen the equivalent of $14,000 (US) for ‘misgendering’ him.

O’Neill: Reduxx has also been covering the case of a UK ‘transwoman’ who was recently convicted of rape. What can you tell us about this story?

Gluck: Alexander Secker is a trans-identifying man, who for a long time used the name ‘Lexi Bowen’ online. He had been trying to turn himself into a YouTube influencer, particularly on trans issues. Along with his YouTube channel, he had several social-media accounts that he used to harass people – mostly women – who were critical of trans ideology.

In particular, he targeted JK Rowling for her stance on the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre (ERCC), which had been in the news because its chief executive was a trans-identifying male. Secker was commenting online to the effect that transwomen posed no threat to women.

We now know that, as he was railing against the likes of Rowling online for her stance on the ERCC, he was, in fact, a rapist himself. In September, he was sentenced to six and a half years in prison for raping a woman in Wiltshire in 2023.

Throughout his trial and sentencing, Secker was referred to as ‘Ms Secker’ in court, even when the victim was physically present.

O’Neill: You’ve also been writing about a female prison in New Jersey for a few years now, and the increasing number of men who have been placed in that facility. What’s going on there?

Gluck: Edna Mahan is a correctional facility for women. As a result of several lawsuits brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, an increasing number of violent men have been transferred there. The test case centred on a man named ‘Danielle Demers’. He is a convicted terrorist who publicised his fetish for wearing diapers and pretending to be a little girl online. In 2019, he was housed in a women’s prison.

Another case concerned a man named Perry Cerf, who is serving a 50-year sentence for murdering a prostitute. Not only did he murder her, but he also tried to steal her identity by superimposing his own photograph on her driving license, wearing her clothes and even drinking her blood. He has been harassing women since he got into Edna Mahan.

Last year, there was a controversy after a male convicted of murdering his foster father, who called himself Demi Minor, impregnated two women at Edna Mahan. He is now in a men’s facility, but only after his story made international headlines. Since then, it’s come to light that Demi Minor had actually been coaching another convicted killer on how he could get into a women’s prison.

The main purpose in bringing these issues to light was to help people understand the level of danger involved. There are violent men, rapists and murderers, who are being placed in cells with a captive population of potential victims.
