Enlightened elites delete sex, the media self-mutes, kids get queered, and an old Swedish crone won't shut up
German ministers want to get rid of separate toilets for women at public events
A ministerial body of the German federal government is about to vote on an amendment to a building regulation that would remove the requirement for separately-sexed toilets in buildings intended for large events. The change would apply to new constructions intended to be used as concert halls, stadiums, theatres, festivals, or any building designed to host large public events. In practical terms, it means no more women-only toilets for German women, girls, and little kids, which many people consider to be necessary for safety, privacy and dignity.
The women’s rights organisation, Was ist eine Frau, said that such a move would be “devastating”.
Ironically, psychotically, it is being pitched as a ‘gender equality’ initiative: the ministers are reacting to complaints that there are never enough toilets for women. Venues tend to have equal number of toilets for both sexes, even though we take longer in cubicles — not because we’re having a good time in there, but because we have to get half naked in order to pee. We also spend a substantial part of our lives bleeding out of our vaginas, and we need to make very sure there are never ever any outward signs of that fact, otherwise everyone freaks the fuck out. But rather than give us more cubicles, we just have to bunk in with the men. All together like one big sexless family.
For this great plan to work out well, men would have to no longer present a statistically significant predatory threat to women and children in confined and isolated spaces (and given this particular context, likely drunk). That’s not the reality currently, but civil servants and gender studies “graduates” seem to perhaps think they can engineer that utopian outcome.
This move is an escalation of woke Europeans’ mission to de-sex all hitherto-sexed facilities, a plan that has mostly only concerned schools so far (see a good recent example in Luxembourg and another one in Ireland) as well as individual hospitality establishments whose cool clients love all that gender shit. Germany is engaging in a bit of “norm entrepreneurship” by expanding the idea outside of schools and woke coffeeshops.
Suffice it to say, the building ministers and their policy assistants don’t spend much time around the kind of men who follow you into a bathroom and masturbate while listening to you pee, or place a camera under a toilet seat and stream the footage to millions. That world still exists for German women and kids, but bureaucrats never encounter it, unfortunately. Their favourite funky brunch place in Neukölln has mixed sex toilets, and like, the non-binary baristas use it, so what’s the big deal?
They either don’t know about the extremes of male sexuality, or worse, they think they can tame the latent (sometimes blatant) savage out of male mammals, even the ultra low-IQ ones, by getting some 23-year-old gender urchin to design a cartoon world in Canva where sex doesn’t matter.
The vote for this elite betrayal of women and children will soon get underway. Was ist eine Frau is urging citizens to write to their building ministers.
No more women’s restrooms at events? Let’s stop this!
Single-sex services for women are disappearing in Europe
There are two main ways via which single-sex spaces and services are slowly going extinct in Europe. The first one is, obviously, by allowing anyone to identify as the opposite sex. Once a male person is in a female-only space, let’s say a youth hostel dorm room for example, it is no longer a women-only dorm room. It is a mixed-sex dorm room. He may have had his nads removed, or he may even be wearing a dress covered in flowers. It is a mixed-sex dorm room once both males and females are allowed to sleep in it.
If you tried to get such a man out of the room, and return it to its status as a women-only space, you would be accused of discrimination against him on the basis of his gender identity (though depending on your legal jurisdiction, which in turn depends on the speed at which your country’s equality legislation is being transed, this may still be called discrimination on the basis of “gender” or even sex-via-gender reassignment, even if the “reassignment” involves nothing more than the flowery dress).
If a company, or service of any kind, tries to maintain a single-sex policy, they will likely have to battle it out in court as soon as a disgruntled transvestite sniffs out their heresy. And so in order to avoid being dragged to court by such men (and such women), companies and services are pre-empting legal action by just making everything mixed-sex, like the Germans are planning above. Problem solved.
And while the end of women-only yoga classes might not bother you that much, there are some services that really (really really) need to remain sex-based, and they are underpinned by the same equality laws that are currently under threat.
First a little background: equal treatment laws are mandatory in EU countries. I can’t refuse to sell a man an ice cream from my ice cream van, just because he’s a man. You can’t refuse to polish a woman’s Fabergé egg because you only polish men’s Fabergé eggs.
Except, and this is crucial, sometimes you can discriminate on the basis of someone’s sex. And I bet you can guess what those circumstances are. It must be, as the TERF Islanders put it: “a proportionate means to achieve a legitimate aim”. This teeny tiny caveat, variously worded, carries the weight of women’s safety and dignity in public spaces and services in European countries. You can deny a man access to a women’s prison or rape crisis centre, and you can refuse to hire a man for a job in (for example) a residential care home if that job involves washing the intimate parts of delirious old ladies or intellectually disabled children (whose families can request female-only intimate care).
Do you know why a family of an old checked-out woman might wish for their mother’s genitals be tended to by someone female? You bet you do. Not All Men yadda yadda yadda. Save it for yer wife. Enough men are #LikeThat that even gender-equal Scandinavian utopias can legally advertise for those jobs for women only. And men also have the right, for privacy reasons, to wish only to have men tend to their bits. And that’s utterly reasonable.
But by expanding equality protections to include men masquerading as women and vice-versa, the burden is on the management of such facilities to justify why they are excluding variously-identified people. The only country that has gone to court to establish in law that sex refers to biology, not identity, is the UK, but service providers eager to please noisy activists are ignoring it, leading to a bit of a crisis. Oh you’ve not read about this major policy issue in the newspaper, or seen a debate about it on the news? That’s not an accident.
Men stayed out of women’s spaces because both society and the law punished them if they did not. That norm is disappearing, and the law is disappearing — or being tortuously reinterpreted into nothingness — along with it.
‘Anti-gender’ is being fashioned into something akin to ‘racist’
The EU is about to pump about €11 billion into woke media and NGOs and there’s not a single thing we can do to stop it. The final text of the new programme, called AgoraEU, is currently being negotiated, and it can only get worse. For example, when it went to the European Parliament, it was amended to make sure that some of that huge money pot goes to media organisations to detect, analyse, combat, and tackle “anti-gender narratives”.
The same amendments were added to the part on civil society funding.
Journalists and editors whose employment depends on the continued receipt of AgoraEU money would — at the very least — be cautious about covering the de-sexing of society, even in a neutral way, because talking about it (thus raising awareness that it is happening) is treated as a hostile act by rainbow activists. Editors would have to present “anti-gender actors” in the same way they present people who burn down asylum hotels, lest they get accused of platforming or legitimising Nazis (Nazis like me. I hate gender. I would burn it down if it was a hotel).
The media in Europe, with very few exceptions, are allowed to say about four or five things about “trans people” and all of them are very super good. It gets pretty boring, but it keeps the access and the funding flowing. If passed, this amendment would make that dynamic even worse.
Beyond a chilling effect, the anti-gender monstering would explicitly set the media and the public money griftosphere like a pack of dogs on anyone who doesn’t think that biological sex should play second fiddle to “inner gender identity” in the organisation of public life. This is extremely worrying. I don’t think I have to point out that it’s anti-democratic to frame something so contested as medicalised gender feelings as a universal, unquestionable good.
Beloved old Swedish hag sparks debate about trans extremism
Agnes Wold is a much-loved public intellectual in Sweden who is known for her feminism, her level-headed response to the COVID lockdown hysteria (she’s a bacteriologist), and, more recently, for refusing to go along with the transgender dogma that has gripped Swedish bureaucratic, activist, media and political elites.
On 20 May, the Swedish parliament approved an amendment to the law that criminalises “psychological violence” and “coercion”. The preparatory texts explaining the intent of the law covered “gender identity or gender expression (such as conversion practices)” as relevant contexts. It is widely understood to be Sweden’s version of a conversion therapy ban (a more explicit law is likely if the left coalition gets into power in September).
Speaking on a radio programme recently, Wold told the host that she would take 4 years in prison— the penalty for trying to prevent someone from leaning into their opposite-sex, delusion — before she would allow the gender transition of a grandchild (hard agree).
This comment set off major drama, with one famous gay media guy calling her the Swedish equivalent to “old hag” or “old crone”. Specifically, he said “get rid of the old hag. It is unethical of Sveriges Radio to give her access to a microphone,” which is a way of saying she should be fired from her public radio job.
Many, many people have called for Agnes Wold to be fired throughout the trans-mania era, and a lot of them seemed to be hoping that this comment would be the final nail in her coffin. But the remarks seem to have the opposite effect. Not only did Swedish people get very offended by this little shithead calling their beloved based radio-granny an old hag, they started to ask questions about the law that she was criticising.
And that, boys and girls, is how the omerta on the trans mass derangement got partially lifted in Sweden, and suddenly everyone started to ask: wait, what? Some kids think they’re in the wrong body and you can go to jail for telling them to snap out of it? Yes, dear Swedes, that’s what’s happening. Welcome to the conversation. We’ve been expecting you.
As of writing, Wold still has not yet been fired.
The EU gave €340, 000 to Save The Children to queer children’s rights
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child has long been a prize target for queer activism, because if you can legitimise the idea of a “queer child” or “trans child”, then it’s easier to explain trans adults.
Activists have been careful to take things slowly, however, approaching the queering-kids mission via “anti-bullying” programmes in schools, as well as making teacher training more “inclusive” and trooning the sexuality education curriculum.
But with all the legal victories and advocacy milestones met, it looks like they may be ready to make a move on children more explicitly. Tomorrow there will be an event in the European Parliament hosted by a young “queer” MEP from Germany called Lukas Sieper on the topic of “children’s LGBTIQ rights”. One of the highlights of the event will be a presentation of a tool created by Save The Children Sweden, who got €340,000 from the EU Commission to map children’s rights instruments (UN treaties etc.) onto LGBTIQ instruments. What this means in practice is that they are creating a pile of evidence showing all the ways kids being queer (and thus in need of puberty blockers etc.) is already provided for in various international treaties. This is how the advocacy sausage is made.
The right to identity originated from the plight of children stolen from their families during Argentina’s junta (Dirty War) years. Activists fought for their right to know who they are. But this is interpreted by queer activists to mean that kids have the right to change into the opposite sex, and to take wrong-sex hormones to manifest that impossible delusion concretely. That particular “right to identity” was pivotal in the framing of Argentina’s self ID law, the first in the world (rolled back in 2025 by Javier Milei), a framing to which citizens in that country were particularly sensitive. Trans activists twisted the plight of stolen children to suit their own weird fantasy adventures.
Polish woman wants court to pretend she has always been male
The legal cases that codified born-in-the-wrong-bodyism in law in your country likely passed under the radar until it was far too late. Well here’s one in Poland that’s just getting off the ground.
The interesting thing about this case is that it reflects activists’ evolving strategy of framing LGBTIQ+ extremism as a rule-of-law issue. This woman wants her birth cert to reflect the fiction that she has *always* been male, which is not unusual, but here’s the novelty of this case: her legal defense is related it to Poland’s justice system, and not free movement like the Romanian woman in the Mirin case and not GDPR like the psychos in the Mousse case. This one is about a previous ruling made by allegedly “biased” judges. Ultimately, the aim is to make legal gender recognition easier in Poland but I think the strategy reflects a shift in the movement.
You can see ILGA-Europe’s swivel-eyed advocacy goblin, Katrin Hugendubel demonstrate their organisation’s rule-of-law pivot in the video below, in which she calls Slovakia’s sex-realist legal amendments a “constitutional coup'“.

Will Ireland get Montenegro’s sex falsification law over the line?
Ireland is taking over the presidency of the Council of the EU in a few weeks, and that means that Irish leaders and civil servants will have a big role in many big and small meetings for the next 6 months.
Irish minister for European Affairs and Defence, Thomas Byrne, has been telling journalists about Ireland’s ambitions for this 6-month term, and one of them is to make progress on accession talks for EU candidate countries. In particular, Byrne said he is hoping to make progress with Montenegro, the most advanced country on the list in terms of meeting the obligations for joining. However, one of the obligations that Montenegro still has to fulfill is introducing sex self-ID (legal sex falsification). A draft bill has been ready since 2024 but opposition has kept it from being passed. I have asked the Commission if they consider this a dealbreaker, or if there is any chance Montenegro can get away with not doing the trans thing. I’ll update when I get an answer.
One thing we do know, however, is that Ireland is a hopelessly gender-trooned country that has never refused the demands of a rainbow NGO. My country might be the one to help Montenegro get its utterly backwards sex falsification law over the line. What a proud legacy that would be.
Trump’s USAID cuts hit ILGA really hard
The annual reports of rainbow activists for 2025 are coming out and you can see how badly Trump’s decision to halt Globohomo has affected their revenue streams. In terms of actual figures, they don’t tend to talk about those. But ILGA-World has butt-hurtedly lamented the cuts over and over in their official communications, including in their 2025 annual activity roundup.
The big job of the rainbow mafia over the past year has been is to find a way to replace the USAID money. The begging bowl is out, and some corporates are filling some of the gap. But to keep these nutters in the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed, this requires bigger budgets than even Primark or Google can provide. On 26 May, speaking in the context of global aid, Ursula von der Leyen said that the EU is now “the leading humanitarian donor worldwide”. You can take that to mean that your tax money, both from the EU pot and your country’s domestic budget, will end up being spent on drag queen toddler sex changes in Belize or whatever.
