“I did assault her and I will do it again,” he said. “And if I need to be 10 years in prison I’m happy to be 10 years in prison.” Says a man fled anyway.

The trans activist who threw tomato juice on a women’s rights campaigner during a free speech event in Auckland has been charged with common assault and appears to be fleeing from New Zealand authorities as a result.

Eliana Rubashkyn, also known as Eliana Golberstein and Eliana Rubinstein, is a male who identifies as transgender and intersex and uses “they/them” pronouns. On March 25, Rubashkyn attacked women’s rights campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen during what was supposed to be a peaceful women’s rights demonstration. 

Keen, also known by her moniker Posie Parker, had arranged for a speaking tour of New Zealand centered around giving women the platform to express their thoughts on gender ideology. But she was forced to cut the tour short after being met with extreme aggression at her first stop in Auckland at Albert Park.

As Keen approached the bandstand in the park, where she was set to speak to a crowd of approximately 200 supporters, Rubashkyn dumped a liter of tomato juice onto her and her security detail. Videos of the incident have since circulated on social media, and Rubashkyn told a local news station that he was able to approach Keen because he lied about his identity and pretended to be a supporter of hers.

Following the event, Rubashkyn gave an interview where he claimed that he targeted Keen because “her words are blood because they are killing our people.” He continued: “That tomato juice represents the blood of the people she is trying to kill.”

Rubashkyn also addressed the crowd after Keen was escorted away from the park by police, and stated that he wanted Keen to be “full of blood … because she’s advocating for our genocide.”

Information on Rubashkyn’s charge was first reported by Newsable, which received a statement from Rubashkyn where he again claimed the assault and suggested he was comfortable facing justice.

“I did assault her and I will do it again,” he said. “And if I need to be 10 years in prison I’m happy to be 10 years in prison.”

But despite his words, Rubashkyn fled New Zealand shortly after being made aware that police were planning on issuing a warrant for his arrest on charges of assault.

His latest travel-related post suggests he has now left Australia and is en route to the United States.

A fundraiser has been launched to support Rubashkyn, citing support for a legal defense fund as well as “personal security needs.” It has since raised just over $1,300 as of the writing of this article. The fundraising campaign is currently under review by GiveALittle, and some on social media have noted it is likely against the platform’s terms of service to be fundraising for a known fugitive.

Rubashkyn is originally Jewish-Ukrainian from Colombia, but currently lives in New Zealand. He has worked with the UN and as a Program Officer at ILGA World (the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Intersex Association). Much of his origin story and gender identity has come into question after a March 28 Twitter space wherein Rubashkyn appeared incoherent at times while addressing a live audience for almost 8 continuous hours.

During the space, Rubashkyn made a number of anti-lesbian, racist, sexist, and violent remarks, including that trans-identified males were the “first victims” of the Holocaust.

“Trans women were the first victims of Nazism. Trans women were killed before the Jews were sent to concentration camps,” he said, continuing: “In the 1930s, Nazis relied on TERFs to promote hate… TERFs became holders of concentration camps for females. TERFs were quite instrumental in the system that the Nazis built for making more babies… to keep Nazi Germany growing.”

Rubashkyn claims to be Jewish and says he can speak fluent Hebrew, but seemed to be unable to understand a Hebrew speaker who challenged him on his assertion.

In addition to the marathon space, Rubashkyn also uploaded a video to his Twitter account in which he was seen sobbing while claiming there was a “trans genocide” occurring, and that “Nazis” were trying to murder him.

“I am so full of joy because I am trans, but I am so scared because they want to kill me. The Nazis, they are– they just really want to get you.”

The March 25 event was part of an international Let Women Speak tour hosted by British women’s rights campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen. Keen has hosted rallies across the UK, USA, and Australia encouraging women to use her platform to speak about how gender ideology has impacted their lives.

While Keen’s events are often met with hostility, the New Zealand rally descended into violence so rapidly that it had to be cancelled before it could even begin. 

As she arrived at the Albert Park venue, Keen went live on her YouTube channel as she usually does to provide her supporters updates from the event. 

Immediately, the scene was chaotic as police did not appear to be present. Those watching from a distance through the YouTube stream were able to see Keen being led by her security though a braying crowd of trans activists. Once she managed to make it to the stage, Keen could immediately be heard expressing concerns about the lack of police presence. 

Keen and her supporters were quickly surrounded by an increasingly aggressive mob of trans protestors. The activists broke through established barriers, and didn’t take long before the decision was made to cancel the event and leave for the safety of all involved.

In addition to Keen having been assaulted by Rubashkyn, an elderly woman who had attended the demonstration in support of Keen was battered in the face by a male trans activist.

The woman, who is said to be in her 70s, was left with a darkly blackened eye after being both head-butted and punched in the face. Videos of the assault went viral on Twitter as multiple angles of the altercation between the elderly woman and the male trans activist began to leak in the aftermath of the rally.

Posie Parker had tomato juice thrown at her by a trans intersex woman, counter-protestors overwhelmingly outnumbered her and told her where to stick it, and now she's left Aotearoa as a result, solidarity comrades you done good.

#non fandom #posie parker #anti posie parker #transphobia tw

[pierog]

i’m so proud today of aotearoa new zealand. posie parker is a british terf who’s been touring around the world + spewing transphobic hate, and when she announced her rally in nz, the rainbow community TOOK IMMIGRATION TO COURT in an attempt to revoke her visa. 

immigration ruled against the rainbow community and let her in, so queers took matters into their own hands. thousands of ppl turned up to the rally and threw eggs at poosie. as soon as poosie tried to speak, a middle-aged trans/intersex woman -- who was invited to stand alongside poosie as a terf, cuz they thought she was cis -- poured soup all over her.

she was gone within 30 mins and is cancelling her tour. 😊

[the-homo-flag-informist]

Hi. I would politely like to ask you to refrain from posting about flags or identities that you have only surface level knowledge of, like intersex. Though well-intentioned, this can spread misinformation. This is aiding in the continued misinformation and oppression of intersex people and our voices.

Please research using valid sources, like intersex activism groups and intersex people themselves.

Being misinformed is one reason I wanted to delete my intersex posy, and hearing it from an outside source, I will. I apologize to anyone I may have offended or hurt, I wasn't trying to.

Actu trans de janvier 2024

On a commencé l’année avec des personnes trans qui ont déposé un recours auprès du tribunal judiciaire de Lyon, en France, pour dénoncer un refus de prise en charge de leurs soins par la Caisse nationale d’assurance-maladie et 5 caisses primaires d’assurance-maladie. On verra ce que ça donnera.

Résultat du remaniement gouvernemental, Gabriel Attal a nommé, entre autres ministres douteux…, Aurore Bergé au poste de ministre de l'Égalité et à la lutte contre les discriminations.

Pour rappel, Bergé a activement milité contre le mariage pour toustes et contre les droits des personnes trans et intersexes.

On se souvient de son vote contre l’interdiction des mutilations des enfants intersexes. De son vote pour l’exclusion des personnes trans dans le cadre de la loi PMA. De son amendement visant à exclure explicitement les personnes transmasculines de la constitutionnalisation de la protection au droit à l’IVG. Et également, de son rendez-vous avec Moutot et Stern, 2 transphobes issues de l’extrême-droite française, qu’elle a reçu avec je cite « écoute attentive et compréhension ».

Toujours en lien avec le gouvernement, Macron nous a pondu une pseudo-conférence de presse XXL où il s’est mis à parler de « réarmement démographique ». (Comme le bon petit viriliste qu’il est...)

Vous allez me dire : « en quoi est-ce que ça concerne les personnes trans Thomas ? On n’est mentionné·es à aucun moment. » Et vous avez tout à fait raison !

Cela étant dit, les termes employés ont quand même tendance à déclencher une sonnette d’alarme chez moi. Et je ne peux pas m’empêcher de me dire que, quand une personne au pouvoir commence à utiliser un champs lexical de ce type, ça ne sent pas bon (du tout) pour le droit des personnes minorisées (femmes, comme personnes queers de manière générale) à disposer comme bon leur semble de leur corps.

On flirte dangereusement avec des idées et des politiques anti-IVG, natalistes, fascistes et plus largement de contrôle.

Et je rappelle quand même qu’il y a peu de temps, le gouvernement a remanié le texte pour la constitutionnalisation du droit à l’IVG (d’où les personnes trans ont été– je ne vais pas dire exclues parce que ce n’est pas entièrement ça – mais on n’y est pas inclus non plus hein.). Et où le terme de « droit » à été changé par le mot « liberté ».

Donc… Ça sent pas bon. Et – je vais sortir du cadre de la pastille de news pendant 10 secondes mais - franchement si vous êtes sûr·e de vouloir vous faire stériliser, je serai plutôt d’avis de ne pas trop tarder à prendre rendez-vous. Parce qu’il n’y a pas de garantie que ce droit là soit encore là dans quelques mois ou années.

L’activiste anti-trans britannique, Posie Parker, s’est mise à vendre un calendrier transphobe pour l’année 2024. Ce dernier est intitulé "He's a Man!!" et utilise de manière non-autorisée l’image de plusieurs femmes trans.

Malgré sa conception médiocre – puisqu’il comporte notamment une erreur en ne tenant pas compte que nous sommes dans une année bissextile avec 366 jours -, il est déjà en rupture de stock.

La Gender Plus Hormone Clinic au Royaume-Uni a reçu l'approbation de la Care Quality Commission pour devenir la première clinique privée offrant un traitement hormonal aux jeunes trans de 16 ans et plus.

La clinique offrira également un soutien psychologique en matière d’identité de genre aux jeunes qui sont en questionnement sur leur identité de genre.

Les consultations pourront se dérouler en personne ou en distanciel via Zoom, facilitant ainsi l'accès aux soins pour les ado trans qui sont confronté·es à des listes d'attente assez énormes.

En Indonésie, des centaines de femmes trans pourront voter pour la toute première fois aux élections le 14 février, après avoir obtenu des cartes d'identité KTP grâce à un accord gouvernemental qui a facilité l'accès des personnes trans à ces documents essentiels.

Cette initiative a été soutenue par le groupe de défense des droits LGBTQ+ Suara Kita, basé à Jakarta, qui a aidé des centaines de femmes trans à obtenir leurs cartes d'identité.

Pour beaucoup de personnes trans en Indonésie, l'obtention d'une carte d'identité est un défi assez majeur. Le fait de ne pas en avoir, les prive de l'accès à des services publics essentiels comme le fait d’aller chez le médecin, ouvrir un compte bancaire mais aussi, avoir la possibilité d’aller voter.

Bien que les cartes d'identité délivrées mentionnent toujours leur deadname et le genre assigné à la naissance, cette avancée est considérée comme un changement significatif, offrant aux femmes trans non seulement une vie quotidienne facilitée, mais aussi une voix politique lors des élections. Chose toujours bonne à prendre !

Le Président de la République du Portugal, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, a promulgué le décret visant interdire les thérapies de conversion.

Cet acte est désormais puni d’une amende ou d'une peine pouvant aller jusqu'à 3 ans d’emprisonnement. Les peines sont alourdies si les crimes sont commis par plus d'une personne, si la victime a moins de 14 et 16 ans, ou s'il s'agit d'une personne particulièrement vulnérable, entre autres situations.

Toute personne reconnue coupable de ces délits peut également se voir interdire d'exercer des fonctions impliquant des contacts réguliers avec des mineur·es et d'assumer la prise en charge d'un ou une mineure, qu'il s'agisse d'une adoption, d'un placement familial ou d'un autre type de garde, pour une période comprise entre 2 et 20 années.

En Slovaquie, la ministre de la culture ultra-nationaliste Martina Simkovicova a annoncé qu'elle cesserait de financer les associations qui défendent les droits de la communauté LGBTQ+. Elle en a profiter pour qualifier ces associations de "parasites".

Le gouvernement sud-coréen envisage d'intégrer les femmes trans dans son service militaire pour remédier à une pénurie d'effectifs, en assouplissant ses critères d'admissibilité.

Avec cette proposition du Ministère de la Défense nationale, les femmes trans n'ayant pas suivi plus de 6 mois de traitement hormonal ou souffrant de dysphorie de genre sans traitement hormonal régulier pourraient être assujetties à un classement de grade 4, les obligeant alors à effectuer un service alternatif après une formation de base avec leurs conscrits masculins.

Cette révision suscite des inquiétudes quant à une possible discrimination accrue à l'égard des personnes trans au sein de l'armée.

Selon les informations, Séoul justifie cette mesure en croyant que les femmes trans pourraient accomplir un service supplémentaire en l'absence de dysphorie de genre sévère (quoique cela veuille dire...).

Ce service supplémentaire est une exigence générale en Corée du Sud, obligeant toutes les personnes reconnues comme hommes valides [sic] à servir dans l'armée pendant au moins 18 mois ou à effectuer un service alternatif.

On termine avec les États-Unis.

On a appris que près de 300 projets de loi anti-LGBTQ+ ont déjà été déposés à travers le pays pour 2024. A titre de comparaison, au mois de janvier de l'année dernière, la chercheuse et professeure de droit à Harvard, Alejandra Caraballo, avait retracé plus de 90 projets de loi anti-LGBTQ+.

Plus de la moitié des projets de loi de 2024 ont été présentés pour la première fois lors de la session législative précédente, mais même en tenant compte de ces projets réintroduits, cela fait tout de même 119 nouveaux projets de loi anti-LGBTQ+ qui ont été ajoutés au décompte. Ce qui représente une augmentation assez marquée par rapport à la même période de l'année passée.

Selon l'ACLU, près de la moitié de ces projets de loi restreignent les droits des étudiant·es et des éducateur·ices, avec des dispositions telles que l’outing forcé, la censure des programmes scolaires et l'interdiction aux étudiant·es trans de participer au sport ou d'utiliser des toilettes en accord avec leur genre. La deuxième catégorie la plus importante concerne les restrictions en matière de soins de santé, avec 76 projets de loi limitant ou interdisant carrément les traitements médicaux d'affirmation de genre pour les jeunes trans.

En terme de lois adoptées, nous avons eut ce mois-ci :

- Le Sénat de l'Ohio quia voté pour annuler le veto du gouverneur Mike DeWine, devenant donc le 22eme État à interdire les soins d'affirmation de genre pour les mineur·es trans (donc bloqueurs, THS et chirurgies) et le 24eme à interdire aux personnes transfem’ de participer aux équipes sportives scolaires en accord avec leur identité de genre.

L’entrée en vigueur de la loi est prévue pour fin avril, mais elle fera très certainement l'objet d'une contestation judiciaire de la part de l’ACLU (qui se penche déjà sur le dossier), ce qui pourrait retarder sa mise en application.

Depuis cette annonce, au moins 68 familles de l'Ohio ont demandé un financement d'urgence pour fuir l'État.

- La Cour suprême des États-Unis qui a rejeté une demande d'audition d'une affaire centrée sur les étudiant·es trans et les toilettes qu'iels utilisent dans les écoles de l'Indiana.

Cette décision maintient ainsi une précédente décision de la cour d'appel qui a confirmé les droits des étudiant·es trans à utiliser les toilettes correspondant à leur identité de genre. Donc ça c’est une bonne chose.

Dans le reste de l’actu USA :

- Un enregistrement audio provenant d’un Twitter Space privé a été divulgué. On y entends dedans des législateur·ices républicain·es de l'Ohio et du Michigan discuter ouvertement de leur stratégie visant à interdire les soins d'affirmation de genre pour les personnes trans de tous âges.

Même si on s’en doutait déjà, ça démontre un effort concerté et réfléchit pour restreindre progressivement l'accès à ces soins, et poursuivre et étendre ce qui est (et a déjà été) fait pour les mineur·es trans.

On peut également les entendre exprimer leur intention de cibler les cliniques fournissant des soins aux adultes trans.

- Tout autre chose, Vanessa Joy, une femme trans candidate à la Chambre des représentants de l'Ohio, a été disqualifiée, malgré avoir obtenu toutes les signatures nécessaires, pour ne pas avoir divulgué son deadname sur ses pétitions de candidature.

Cette action a été considérée comme une violation d'une loi de 1995, rarement appliquée, exigeant la divulgation de tout changement de nom survenu au cours des 5 dernières années. (Bizarrement quand des candidat·es ont changé de nom pour d’autres raisons, cela n’a pas l’air de poser de problème hein…)

Joy a contesté cette décision en soutenant que cette loi constitue une barrière discriminatoire envers la communauté LGBTQ+ et en indiquant qu’elle n'était pas au courant de cette loi, absente des instructions de candidature de l'Ohio en 2024.

3 autres candidates trans se sont également présentées aux élections en Ohio et n’ont pas indiqué leur deadname car pas au courant de cette loi.

- Le gouverneur de Floride, Ron DeSantis, a annoncé, se retirer de la course à l’investiture républicaine, et qu’il soutiendrait Donald Trump en vue de l’élection présidentielle de novembre de cette année.

Même si ce n’est pas optimal vu qu’il y a encore Donald Trump et Nikki Haley, ça fait toujours un transphobe de moins en course.

- Déjà condamné à 5 peines de réclusion à perpétuité et 2 208 ans par l'État du Colorado en 2023 pour l'attentat perpétré au Club-Q, une boîte de nuit queer, qui avait entraîné la mort de 5 personnes et blessé 25 autres lors d'un brunch à l’occasion du TDOR en 2022, Anderson Aldrich a indiqué souhaiter plaider coupable de 74 chefs d'accusation fédéraux supplémentaires, comprenant des accusations de crimes de haine et des violations liées aux armes.

Cette décision lui vaudra une peine supplémentaire de 190 ans de prison, en échange de l'abandon de la peine de mort par les procureurs.

- Une nouvelle recherche publiée par les Centers for Disease Control and Prevention révèle que la marginalisation sociale et économique, incluant la discrimination à l'emploi et au logement, accroît le risque de contracter le VIH chez les femmes trans.

Basée sur une enquête menée auprès de plus de 1 600 femmes trans dans 7 villes américaines de 2019 à 2020, l'étude indique que le taux de séropositivité chez ces femmes, en particulier chez les femmes trans racisées, est disproportionnellement élevé.

Les résultats mettent en lumière les corrélations entre des comportements à risque accrus et la discrimination, le chômage, les difficultés de logement, d’accès à la nourriture ou encore au soin. On peut citer par exemple le fait d’avoir recours au TDS (travail du sexe) pour survivre, contribuant ainsi à l'augmentation des infections par le VIH.

Les chercheur·euses soulignent l'importance d'orienter les efforts législatifs et les services de prévention du VIH et de logement en fonction de ces constatations pour améliorer la santé des femmes trans.

- L'Association Américaine des Vétérans Trans a intenté un procès contre le Département des affaires des anciens combattants pour exiger la couverture des soins de santé trans pour les vétérans, dénonçant le manque de réponse du Département à une pétition déposée en 2016. (Soit, il y a 8 ans quand même. Il ne faut pas être pressé·e..)

Bien que le secrétaire aux affaires des anciens combattants ait annoncé en juin 2021 que le Département couvrirait bientôt les chirurgies d’affirmation de genre, l’association affirme que les promesses sont restées vagues de la part de l'administration Biden et que le Département n'a, à ce jour, toujours pas fourni de calendrier pour l'adoption de cette règle.

- L'ancienne championne de natation de la NCAA, Lia Thomas, a officiellement contesté les politiques restrictives de World Aquatics concernant l'éligibilité olympique des nageuses trans en déposant un litige devant le Tribunal arbitral du sport en Suisse (qui est considéré comme la Cour Suprême du sport d’après ce que j’ai compris).

Son action vise à contester les politiques introduites qui disqualifient la plupart des femmes trans et des personnes intersexes des compétitions internationales de natation féminine, les obligeant, je le rappelle, à concourir dans une nouvelle catégorie "ouverte". (Ce qui, en plus d’être excluant, a pour conséquence supplémentaire de ne pas avoir la possibilité de se qualifier pour les Jeux olympiques qui ne comportent que des catégories de natation masculines et féminines.)

L’issue du litige est incertaine, mais a le mérite d’enclencher une action légale sur le sujet, à la fois pour Thomas mais aussi pour les autres athlètes transfem’ et intersexes.

- L’administration Biden alloue environ 700 000 dollars à un programme d'éducation sexuelle destiné aux ado transmasculins, axé sur l'éducation sexuelle et l'utilisation de préservatifs pour ces derniers.

Le résumé de la subvention explique que les garçons trans sont exposés à des risques de santé sexuelle mais sont souvent exclus des programmes d'éducation sexuelle en raison de l'absence de messages éducatifs pertinents et inclusifs pour les jeunes trans.

La droite a, sans surprise, exprimé son indignation face à l'allocation de ces fonds, qualifiant le programme de "woke" et "radical".

- Et pour terminer, le mini-film de 19 minutes, intitulé "An Avocado Pit", a créée l'histoire aux Oscars. Il a été pré-sélectionné dans la catégorie "Meilleur court métrage en prise de vues réelle".

Produit par Elliot Page et Pageboy Productions, et réalisé par Ary Zane, il s'agit du premier film dirigé par une personne trans à être pris en considération pour ce prix.

Le rôle principal est interprété par Gaya Medeiros, une femme trans.

Does this guy have citizenship in New Zealand? Would this impact this guys chances of gaining citizenship?

The trans activist at the center of controversy after assaulting English women’s rights advocate Kellie-Jay Keen in Auckland, New Zealand, is a representative for the United Nations who was invited to speak at the UN on International Women’s Day, March 8, a revelation that is now beginning to circulate on social media.

Eliana Rubashkyn, also known as Eliana Golberstein and Eliana Rubinstein, is a male who identifies as transgender and intersex, and uses “they/them” pronouns. Rubashkyn is originally Jewish-Ukrainian from Colombia, but currently lives in New Zealand. He has worked with the UN as a Program Officer at ILGA World (the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Intersex Association).

Rubashkyn boasted about assaulting women’s rights campaigner Kellie-Jay Keen on March 25 during what was supposed to be a peaceful women’s rights demonstration. Keen, also known by her moniker Posie Parker, had arranged for a speaking tour of New Zealand centered around giving women the platform to express their thoughts on gender ideology. But Keen was forced to cut the tour short after being met with extreme aggression at her first stop in Auckland.

As Keen stood in the rotunda at Albert Park in central Auckland, where the event was scheduled to be held, a mob of trans activists broke through the barriers. With no police in sight, Keen began to express concern about the safety of herself and her supporters as she streamed live on YouTube.

Among the hoard of trans activists was Rubashkyn, who had managed to get inside the bandstand by lying about his identity. As Keen approached, he then dumped a liter of tomato juice onto her and her security. Videos of the incident have since circulated on social media, and Rubashkyn told a local news station that he was able to approach Keen because he lied about his identity, and “they were not thinking that I am a trans person, because I’m intersex and trans but they can’t tell.”

In a statement on the act, Rubashkyn claimed that he targeted Keen because “her words are blood because they are killing our people.” He continued: “That tomato juice represents the blood of the people she is trying to kill.”

The last murder of a transgender person in New Zealand was in 2018. Zenith Campbell was murdered by Paddy Woods, his long-time boyfriend. Since Campbell’s death, however, two transgender New Zealanders have been charged with violent crimes — one of whom tortured a young girl to death.

On social media, Rubashkyn boasted of the attack on Keen, leading many women’s rights advocates to hone in on his Twitter feed.

The images of Rubashkyn at the United Nations were first revealed by women’s rights advocates, and then quickly shared by popular detransitioner Oli London,.

While many were shocked by Rubashkyn’s presence at the United Nations on International Women’s Day, his connections with the intergovernmental organization date back years.

While a student studying at the Taipei Medical University in September of 2013, Rubashkyn visited Hong Kong to update his passport. He had begun taking estrogen the year prior and wanted to update his photograph, but the Colombian consulate in Hong Kong was the closest place he could do it. 

After arriving in Hong Kong, Rubashkyn claims he was subjected to mistreatment by the Hong Kong border authorities, and contacted the UN High Commissioner for Refugees through Amnesty International. The High Commissioner provided Rubashkyn protection under the stipulation he surrender his passport, at which point he was allowed to enter the country.

Without a passport, Rubashkyn became a stateless person, and was effectively stuck in Hong Kong for several months where he faced deportation back to Colombia. While in Hong Kong, Rubashkyn fought to have his legal gender marker changed to “female” in contravention of Hong Kong law, which stipulated that a person must go through genital alteration prior to being legally recognized as the opposite sex. In April of 2014, with the assistance of the United Nations, he became the first transgender person to be recognized as his self-declared “gender” in Hong Kong despite not having undergone any surgeries.

By late 2014, Rubashkyn had been moved to New Zealand where he then fought for refugee status and was granted asylum in May of 2014. The next year, he paid for his Israeli boyfriend to meet him in Auckland where the two married while Rubashkyn studied at a local university. 

According to his LinkedIn, Rubashkyn currently works as a pharmacist, and he is also a Gender Identity, Gender Expression and Sex Characteristics Officer with the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Intersex Association via the United Nations.

It is currently unclear what actions, if any, will be taken against Rubashkyn for his attack on Kellie-Jay Keen during the March 25 demonstration. According to the New Zealand Crimes Act 1961, Rubashkyn may have committed assault when he threw tomato juice on Keen and her security guard. The legal definition of assault is very broad in New Zealand, covering any situation where an individual directly or indirectly applies force against another person’s body. Community Law New Zealandnotes that this “includes when you do this indirectly – by throwing something for example.”

But despite Rubashkyn admitting to the act, the Prime Minister of New Zealand has refused to state whether any assaults committed during the Let Women Speak demonstration will be properly investigated by police.

During a press conference today, The Platform reporter Sean Plunket asked PM Chris Hipkins if he could give “general assurance” that justice would be pursued. 

“Those are matters for the commissioner of police,” Hipkins responded curtly, re-stating the line when pressed further.

Of all people they could have quoted why did it have to be Oli London? Couldn’t they find a detransitioned person with less controversy?

why don't you consider yourself a feminist?

It's an ideology with flaws and its own agenda, as well as issues with their activism throughout the decades. I don't need to consider myself anything to believe in women's rights, men's rights, equality, etc.

#anonymous #a lot of radfems are following me from the intersex posy #post #yall may want to actually look up radical feminism on my blog first

I’m so confused on if terfs do or don’t want men in the women’s bathroom. They cry about trans women in the bathroom but I’ve seen screenshots of their tweets saying they send their husbands, who are men into the bathroom to make sure it’s safe for them and to check there aren’t any trans women in there, and they also demand trans men use the women’s bathroom, even though if any trans man who had facial hair or a deeper voice walked in they would “clock him” as male (because he is a man) and freak out.

Yeah, they don’t seem to mind transphobic men being in there with them 🤷🏻 Posie Parker literally said men should go in the bathrooms with guns to “protect women” and I just…

If I, as a gnc intersex woman, go into the bathroom and see a man stood there with a gun trying to decide what’s in my pants, I’m going to feel very far from safe or protected.
