Pope Francis: ‘Demasculinize the Church’

Controversial Pope Francis, whose left-wing leanings are alarming to more traditional and conservative Catholics, recently received members of the International Theological Commission (ITC) at the Vatican, where he sparked a new controversy by informing the gathered theologians that the Catholic Church is “female” and needs to be “demasculinized.”

The ITC was established by Pope Paul VI within the then-Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 1969 to assist the Vatican in examining crucial doctrinal issues. It consists at any given time of 30 theologians who serve a five-year term on the Commission. Women have served on the panel since 2004, but never more than two at a time until 2014 when Pope Francis named a record five women to the ITC. In the current membership of the Commission, five again are women.

Among the Pope’s comments to the theologians was a condemnation of the scarcity of women among them. “We must progress on this!” Francis passionately declared. “Women have a different capacity for theological reflection than we men. At the next meeting of the [Council of Cardinals], we will reflect on the female dimension of the Church.”

Fair enough so far. Women often do have a different capacity for theological reflection – reading the great female mystics in history from Hildegard von Bingen to Julian of Norwich to Teresa of Avila demonstrates that – and there is room for debate in the Church about the ministerial role of women. But then the Pope went off the rails. “The Church is female,” he stated, “and if we do not understand what a woman is, what the theology of a woman is, we will never understand what the Church is.”

I humbly submit that the Pope, who is considered by Catholics to be infallible when speaking ex cathedra on matters of doctrine, is wrong on this point. While the Church is believed to be referred to in the Bible as “the bride” of Jesus Christ, this is a theological metaphor about their relationship. It does not make the Church “female,” and certainly not in the way he went on to explicate.

“One of our great sins,” Francis continued, “has been masculinizing the Church. And this is not resolved through ministerial means, that’s another thing. It is resolved through the mystical, the real way.”

It’s unclear how the Church being vitalized with a masculine energy is a sin at all, much less a “great” one, although the West generally speaking is suffused with the assumption, cultivated through decades of relentless feminist messaging, that masculinity is “toxic” and that thousands of years of so-called “patriarchy” have prevented women from stepping up and fixing the mess men have purportedly made of the world. In his comments to the ITC, Pope Francis seems to be pandering to this childish idea.

(Speaking of which, Hollywood funnyman Will Ferrell unintentionally humiliated himself with a virtue-signaling display in his opening remarks for the recent Women in Entertainment Gala. “Isn’t it just time for women to run the planet?” the Saturday Night Live alumnus asked, which predictably drew vigorous applause. “[W]e men, we’ve been running the show since, what, 10,000 B.C., something like that? And we’re not doing so good. So please, can you guys just take over, can you? I think it’s time.” In reality, women increasingly are running the planet – and how’s that been working out for us? Our own epically incompetent Vice President Kamala Harris, Germany’s Angela Merkel, New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern, the three Ivy League university presidents who recently refused before Congress to take a stand against campus antisemitism, to name just a few – has their sex, broadly speaking, shown any greater capability than men for visionary leadership, for “fixing” the world? We are all, men and women, subject to the same flaws and limitations of human nature.)

Back to the Pope: he concluded by pleading with the members of the International Theological Commission, “This is a task I ask of you, please: demasculinize the Church.”

Demasculinize the Church? How is this notion different in substance from Will Ferrell’s begging for women to take over running the planet? Both men seem to see masculinity as some kind of obstacle to human flourishing and excellence, and see simply replacing men with women as the solution.

Contrary to the Pope’s apparent fear, Catholicism today – and Christianity in general – does not exactly suffer from a surfeit of masculinity. The Church already has been demasculinized, and the result is a foundational institution of Western civilization being in dangerous, accelerating decline.

The New Emangelization Project, dedicated to inspiring Catholic men to greater involvement in the faith, warns that the Church has a significant “Man Crisis”:

About 11 million adult men in the U.S. were raised Catholic but left the faith and men are under-represented in the Church versus their share of the total population (46% of parishioners are male versus 49% of the population).

[…]

Only about 1/3 of Catholic men (36%) say they attend Mass on a weekly basis. One third of Catholic men (32%) are not formally members of a parish. A large portion (42%) of Catholic men attend Mass “a few times per year” or “seldom or never.” Almost half of Catholic men do not engage in a routine of prayer; praying only “occasionally or sometimes” or “seldom or never.”

[…]

The “face” of the Church is feminine; men are underrepresented in the pews (only 37% of regular mass attendees are men). Further, a Notre Dame study shows that 70-90% of catechesis, service, bible study activities are led by women, causing the authors to suggest that “young males…assume that serious religious studies are a women’s business,” resulting in greater numbers of younger men being disengaged.

Christianity, which has always been burdened by the perception that it is a feminized religion – is today in desperate need of exactly the opposite of what Pope Francis called for: it urgently needs courageous, bold, manly leadership to steer the faith away from its ongoing capitulation to our neo-pagan pop culture, away from the degrading influence of “prosperity gospel” hucksters and hipster pastors in skinny jeans, and away from subversion by gender ideologues who are determined to “queer” the faith and replace God the Father with “God is Trans.”

Francis’ feminist position comes as no surprise. After all, he is the Progressive, globalist, open-borders pope who berates Western countries to overcome their “fear” of “foreigners” and take in ever more “refugees” from cultures incompatible with Western values; he denounces capitalism, nationalism, and populism while promoting the big-government Green economy scam; he has taken measures to restrict celebration of the traditional Latin Mass; he insists on whitewashing jihad and has even been praised as a “defender of Islam” by the Grand Imam of Al Azhar University; and he has opened the door for greater acceptance of the LGBTQ agenda. Now he calls for his own already-flaccid Church to emasculate itself, driving Christianity even further into cultural obsolescence, especially in contrast to the perceived hypermasculinity of Islam, which is the world’s fastest-growing religion at least in part because it offers men an alternative that affirms, albeit to a misogynistic extreme, their masculine nature.

Francis’ call to “demasculinize” the Church is, at best, a foolish and irresponsible position for a Pope to take at this critical point in its decline; at worst, it is a deliberate subversion of the spiritual institution that powered our glorious civilization, an institution rendered increasingly impotent in a post-Christian West.

Shouting “Allah Akbar”, a man with a knife threatens a woman in Paris and asks her if she is Jewish; he is taken into police custody

On Monday December 11, a man was arrested and taken into police custody in the 17th arrondissement of Paris shortly before 9pm. A few minutes earlier, he had attacked a woman on the corner of Boulevard Pereire and Avenue des Ternes, according to consistent sources. (…)

The man, who was armed with a 40 cm kitchen knife, is said to have wielded the weapon and shouted “Allah Akbar”. At the same time, he is said to have asked a passer-by whether she was of Israelite origin. When the woman answered in the negative, he said to her: “You’re lucky, otherwise you would have got that (the knife, editor’s note) in your stomach”. (…) Le Figaro

First Black Czech MP convicted for raping 2 women, 1 attempted rape

Dominik Feri, a former Czech MP, was once lavished with praise. Now, he has been sentenced to three years in prison after being convicted for rape on multiple counts.

Dominik Feri had a promising career as a Czech politician lined up, and as the country’s first Black MP, he was promoted as someone who could dispel stereotypes and pave the way for more minority politicians. However, his political career fell apart in 2021 when he was arrested for rape and sexual harassment.

Now, the former politician, who once was named eighth out of 28 politicians in Politico’s Class of 2019, has been convicted of raping two women, including a minor, and attempting to rape a third.

Following the allegations, he resigned from his MP position in the Chamber of Deputies in May 2021. On Nov. 2, 2023, he was convicted in District Court for Prague 3 on two counts of rape and one attempted rape, and sentenced to three years in prison. However, he has appealed the conviction, and his trial is expected to move forward in the appeals court.

During his initial trial, he attempted to block the process through an appeal action, and when that failed, he ended up in the hospital after a suicide attempt, according to Czech news outlet Novinky.cz.

Feri had over 700,000 followers on Instagram at one time, and in 2016, he described himself as “crown sunshine man” in the media and supported the admission of refugees to Czechia. However, at the time, he insisted he would offer no compromises towards those refugees who come to Czechia and are found guilty of rape.

Politico gushed over Feri in 2019, naming him a “dreamer” and one of the “28 people who will shape Europe in the year ahead,” with the publication writing: “Feri isn’t just the youngest parliamentarian in the country’s history. He’s the first black one — and conspicuously so. He wears his hair in a bushy afro and enjoys playing Fats Waller-style jazz piano in local clubs.”

Politico also wrote about the alleged troubles he faced as a Black Czech politician, writing: “It’s not easy being young and black in the Czech Republic, where the number of residents of African descent remains minuscule and racial intolerance is widespread.”

Feri also told Politico that he faces “constant mockery and threats by some people. Or, even worse, many people won’t even take you seriously.”

Feri was born in the Czech Republic on July 11, 1996. His mother was Czech, and his father had ancestors from Ethiopia. In 2017, he ran in last place on the list of politicians for the TOP 09 party in Prague. However, with 15,003 preferential votes, he came in second place among candidates and, at the age of 21, won the title of the youngest member of parliament in the Czech Republic.

Young French conservative women push back against the Islamization of their beloved Europe

Photo: Mila, https://resistancerepublicaine.com/2023/12/08/mila-soutient-le-patriote-assassine-thomas-myprotein-la-limoge/

By Olivia Murray

When leftwing outlet Dazed Magazine published its Winter 2023 issue, the front cover depicted three young Muslim women in quasi-Islamic dress—one woman wore solid blue, the next wore solid white, and the last wore solid red for a sort of French flag mimicry stunt—with a caption that read “Togetherness: Resistance in France”. (Now I saw “quasi-Islamic” because I’m pretty sure 4-inch stilettos and head-to-toe red garb would warrant an honor killing in certain parts of the Islamic world.) See below:

And here is the lede for the feature article:

In France, where the secular state is a source of historical pride, Muslim women are being shut out from society by politicians who pander shamelessly to the far right. Now, they are taking the fight for bodily autonomy into their own hands[.]

The essay focused on the French government’s “abaya ban” and included a number of “glamor” shots of other young Muslim women in, again, quasi-Islamic dress: haute couture designers like Balenciaga, Gucci, and Saint Laurent aren’t your typical producers of abayas, and Prada heels and skintight spandex don’t exactly convey modesty.

As noted in the lede, the narrative pushed by Dazed is that the “far right” is driving a discriminatory agenda to “shut out” Muslim women from society—but the abaya ban came about thanks to a far-left government, and it’s something that Emmanuel Macron, France’s president and free-for-all migration advocate, explicitly supports. It’s inaccurate to describe any cultural pushback as emanating from the “far right” because in reality, those who support making France great again are just normal French people who don’t want to see a thriving Western culture obliterated by Sharia-loving jihadis. Islamization always ushers in cultural degradation; crime, violence, oppression, chaos always accompany the introduction of third-world mentality muslims into a Western society.

The girls who defied the ban are painted as “resistance” fighters standing up to oppression (the irony), but I’d like to introduce you to the women who actually deserve a round of applause for their resolute patriotism, via an article at RAIR Foundation:

In a bold response to the recent front-page feature of Dazed, a left-wing fashion magazine promoting sharia clothing, the Némésis collective, a group of French female conservative activists, has voiced its strong opposition.

…

In response, the Némésis collective organized a photo shoot featuring three French women, each adorned in the national colors of France, symbolizing their love and respect for French culture and values. This move was intended to juxtapose their vision of French femininity and freedom against the backdrop of the Dazed feature, which glorifies a tool of submission under sharia law.

See the two covers, juxtaposed below:

I have to iterate, perhaps my favorite touch was the cured sausages (pork) displayed prominently across the table—bravo!

“Son of a bitch, this is our country”: Muslim youths attack a Father Christmas in Kassel, Germany

Wikimedia Commons , Chlempi,  CC-BY-SA-3.0

He used to play St Nicholas occasionally, often in the Marburg-Biedenkopf area. In 1996, he even rode a horse as St Nicholas. But he has never experienced anything like what happened to him on St Nicholas’ Day in Kassel this year, says 54-year-old Rainer B. The man, who comes from Ulm, was hired as St Nicholas in Kassel for the first time. Last week Wednesday, he was due to perform in the Königsalm on Königsplatz.

But Rainer B. could only make his appearance in a tattered costume. His coat and cape were tattered. Rainer B., who normally works as an excavator driver, says that he travelled by tram from Nordstadt to Stern. He got off there at around 5.15 pm to walk to Königsplatz. He was already wearing his costume.

Near the pharmacy on Untere Königsstraße, five to six youths approached him from the other side of the street. They were around 15 years old and had a migrant background, according to Rainer B. They insulted him as a “son of a bitch” and a “fat bastard” and asked him to take off his Father Christmas costume. The young people had said that they were Muslims and that this was their country. They also pulled on his costume. The costume was torn in the process.

According to the 54-year-old, one of the attackers grabbed him by the neck, leaving him with slight swelling. To defend himself, he hit the youth in the face with a rod he had made from a hazelnut bush. The youth then fled in the direction of Martinsplatz. Several people on Untere Königsstraße witnessed the attack on him, reports Rainer B. But many just laughed, some even applauded. Nobody came to his aid.

The 54-year-old has filed a complaint against the youths. Police spokeswoman Ulrike Schaake said on enquiry that the state security service has taken over the investigation on suspicion of assault, insult and damage to property. State security always investigates when a political motive for an offence cannot be ruled out.

Björn Bischoff, manager of the Königsalm, reports that Rainer B. was shocked when he arrived at the Königsalm on Wednesday. Nevertheless, he made a good appearance. However, because his coat and cape were torn, no photos were taken of his performance.

Rainer B. doesn’t want to let the attack spoil his work as Father Christmas. “I’ll carry on.” Next year he will simply take pepper spray with him so that he can defend himself if necessary. Police described the attackers as five to six young people between the ages of 14 and 16 with black hair, most of whom were wearing dark-coloured clothing. One of them was wearing a black and white jacket. Please give any hints to the police by calling 0561/9100 (Ulrike Pflüger-Scherb).

Turkish Football Match Ends in Violence as Club President Assaults Referee

In a disturbing incident in Turkish football, MKE Ankaragucu’s president, Faruk Koca, physically assaulted referee Halil Umut Meler after his team conceded a 97th-minute equalizer against Caykur Rizespor in a 1-1 Super Lig draw.

The assault involved a punch to the face and kicks while the referee was on the ground. Koca required hospital treatment for injuries sustained during the altercation, and “detention procedures” were announced by Turkey’s Minister of Internal Affairs, Ali Yerlikaya. Several arrests were made in connection with the attack.

Turkish President Recep Erdogan condemned the assault on referee Halil Umut Meler, emphasizing that sports should promote peace and brotherhood and must remain free from violence. Home club MKE Ankaragucu expressed regret over the incident, apologizing to the Turkish football public and the entire sports community for the unfortunate occurrence at Eryaman Stadium.

In response to the incident and the broader issue of violence in Turkish football, Galatasaray, one of the country’s prominent teams, has called for an emergency meeting. The club aims to address the growing problem of violence within the Turkish game. A statement from Galatasaray urged unity among clubs to collaboratively address and solve the challenges posed by fan violence.

Meanwhile, in Greece, the government has taken stringent measures in response to recent violent incidents related to football. All top-flight soccer matches in Greece will be played without fans in stadiums for the next two months. The decision comes after a sport-related riot outside a volleyball game resulted in life-threatening injuries to a police officer. Emergency legislation has been introduced to enforce the immediate ban on supporters, with possible extensions considered. The government mandates the installation of surveillance cameras in stadiums and personalized ticketing systems requiring identification for entry to combat violence associated with fan groups. The ban is part of ongoing efforts to curb long-standing issues of violence within Greek soccer.

French Parliament torpedoes ‘strict’ new migration law

Nosta Lgia

In what is seen as a painful blow to French President Emmanuel Macron’s standing, a bill that seeks to better control immigration and improve integration has been voted down by the French Parliament.

The no-vote came as a surprise and led to the French interior minister Gérald Darmanin, who championed the bill, to offer his resignation, which Macron turned down.

As the plenary discussion on the law began on December 11, the Parliament voted for a motion of rejection, with 270 votes in favour and 265 against, tabled by The Greens.

Support for the migration bill dwindled from the centre-right in Parliament as adjustments were made at the behest of “progressives”.

On the evening of the same day, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne held an emergency meeting with ministers involved in the controversial immigration bill.

It will now go before a joint committee, Government spokesman Olivier Véran announced at the end of the meeting. That means Senators and representatives, seven each, now will need to find a new agreement.

Darmanin lamented the day’s events as a “denial of democracy”.

On December 12, he said he hoped “firm measures” against “illegal immigration” and “crime by foreigners” would be adopted “by the end of the year”.

His call came as France is still reeling from a rash of terrorist attacks and criminal assaults.

The parties opposing the bill were, for different reasons, happy with the result.

“We will spare the country two weeks of xenophobic and racist rhetoric,” said Mathilde Panot, president of the Assembly’s far-left LFI group.

LFI MEP Manon Aubry described the outcome as a “victory for human rights and total debacle for ‘Macronie’!”

Leader of The Greens Marine Tondelier said: “Immigration would not have changed anything in the day-to-day lives of the French, but it would have done a great deal of harm to those seeking refuge.”

Marine Le Pen, leader of the right-wing Rassemblement National, said she was “delighted” that the rejection resolution was passed and said the bill was “pro-immigration”.

She was also seen apparently mocking Darmanin in Parliament.

Her party colleague Jordan Bardella went a step further and called for “the dissolution of the National Assembly” in the wake of the Government’s failure on its immigration bill, which he said represented “a major political crisis”.

Eric Ciotti, leader of the centre-right Les Républicains (LR) said under Darmanin, France suffered “more violence, more insecurity, Islamic ‘communitarism’ and [record levels] of legal and illegal migration.”

Olivier Marleix, group leader for LR in Parliament, said the migration bill wanted to please both the Left and the Right, which he said was impossible.

“We cannot make a text that tries to tighten the rules and undo everything in the Law Commission by relying on Nupes and France Insoumise!” he stressed.

When the original text passed in the French Senate, it was with the help of RN. But in the vote on December 11, party members opposed it as changes were made.

They said they saw a flaw with “unacceptable measures”, notably “the mass regularisation of foreigners”.

“500,000 foreigners, the equivalent of a city like Toulouse, have been welcomed in France this year. That is three times fewer foreigners deported than under Sarkozy,” said Marleix.

“Mr Darmanin has unravelled the Senate text through an alliance Renaissance-France Insoumise,” he said, adding that the interior minister had a “permanent double tongue” on immigration.

“We cannot be a text of Left and Right at the same time, otherwise it is mush,” he said.

The French Government is trying to get a handle on migration just as Rassemblement National and Le Pen are surging in the polls ahead of the European elections in June 2024.

Among hot topics regarding immigration and the migrant situation, the expulsion of dangerous foreign criminals is high on the agenda.

On the same day as the bill was voted down, news broke that France had been forced by the courts to take back a foreigner suspected of Islamist radicalisation and who had been sent home to Uzbekistan.

The ruling came as the judges decided his life was in danger in his native country.

French teenager stabbed to death by ‘African types’ over Nike tracksuit

https://resistancerepublicaine.com/2023/12/10/brian-17-ans-est-mort-il-ne-voulait-pas-offrir-un-jogging-gratuit-a-la-racaille/

A French teenager was stabbed to death on Friday evening by a gang of youths attempting to steal a tracksuit the victim had arranged to sell through an online marketplace.

The incident occurred around 8 p.m. in Valenton in Val-de-Marne, a commune in the southeastern Parisian suburbs. The 17-year-old victim, named Brian, was walking to meet up with a buyer he had agreed to sell a Nike tracksuit to through the Vinted online app.

He was walking with a group of friends when they were approached at the Lutéce bus stop by a gang of youths, reported by journalist Amaury Bucco to be of “African type, tall, dressed in down jackets and dark-colored parkas”.

It is understood the group attempted to steal the tracksuit from Brian who resisted with the help of his friends. One of the attackers then pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim in the thigh.

“He was hit in the femoral artery,” a source close to the case told Le Parisien newspaper, causing Brian to bleed profusely as he attempted to reach the road and call for help.

Despite emergency services being dispatched, the victim died at the scene from his injuries.

Brian’s 18-year-old cousin also sustained a stab wound to the thigh and was transferred to the Villeneuve-Saint-Georges hospital. His prognosis is not known.

According to Bucco’s report, authorities were dispatched to a residential building later that night after a call from a distressed mother who told police her 16-year-old son had attempted to take his own life because he had “done something bad”.

The police linked the two incidents after the teenager matched the description of the attacker given by the victim’s companions.

“It was me. Is he dead?” the teenager reportedly asked police.

He was subsequently arrested and charged with intentional homicide.

Metin Yavuz, the Les Républicains mayor of Valenton, called the attack a “tragedy” and offered his “sincere condolences” to the victim’s family.

Presidential candidate Eduardo Verástegui promises not to let LGBT ideology ‘contaminate’ Mexico

Eduardo Verástegui X, (LifeSitenews)

 Pro-life Catholic actor and Sound of Freedom producer Eduardo Verástegui said he strongly opposes as a Mexican presidential candidate the LGBT agenda and will protect children from rainbow “indoctrination” and “sexualization” in schools.

Verástegui declared on X, formerly Twitter, that if elected president he will not allow LGBT ideology to “contaminate” Mexico. He said he would oppose the sexualization of school children, public Pride propaganda, adoption by homosexuals, transexual men competing in women’s sports, and the entire agenda represented by the rainbow flag.

“Let me be very clear,” he said. “If I am given the opportunity to be President of Mexico, I will not allow the whole LGBT alphabet and more to continue to contaminate our nation. I do not want Mexican children sexualized and indoctrinated in schools with books that promote gender ideology. Neither propaganda in public spaces, nor adoptions that deprive children of having a mom and dad. There is no right to adopt, there is the right of children to be adopted.”

All Mexicans will have the same opportunities, without privileges. And there will be no men usurping the place of women in sports competitions, reducing them to mere spectators of the triumphs of athletes with a physical advantage. In Mexico we have a beautiful flag and that is the only flag that represents us and there we all fit. We will not allow groups of a noisy minority to come and define public policies that affect the vast majority of our nation.

The lion’s roar can already be heard. Long live the family!

Verástegui filed Sept. 7 as a presidential candidate for Mexico’s 2024 elections. He must secure close to 1 million signatures by early January to get his name on the presidential ballot.

When announcing his candidacy, the pro-life actor declared, “My fight is for life. My fight is for freedom. It is time to remove the same old people from power. Our country needs a new way of doing politics, to eradicate corruption and impunity. We are on time! Let’s go all out, for our Mexico!”

Verástegui is best known for his most recent production of the summer’s surprise blockbuster movie exposing child trafficking, Sound of Freedom. Since the premiere of the movie, which starred Jim Caviezel, Verástegui has been at the forefront of the global movement to end child sex trafficking.

In July, he stood with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele as he signed a pledge to halt child exploitation. And on Nov. 24, Argentina president-elect Javier Milei signed an agreement with Verástegui pledging to fight child sex trafficking.

UK: Transgender Greens Candidate Reportedly Shared “Sissification” Porn Content On Social Media Board

A trans-identified male recently selected to be a political candidate for the UK Green Party has prompted backlash after describing himself as a “proud lesbian” and accusing critics of “transphobia.” Melissa Poulton, previously known as Matthew Viner, has a disturbing history of sharing pornographic “sissification” content on social media.

On December 2, Poulton announced his candidacy for the Bromsgrove Constituency in a post he shared to X. Over the next two days, as word of his bid for office spread on social media, critics responded to his post with disbelief, accusing the Green Party of having lost credibility.

A biography of Poulton describes him as a “proud lesbian” who has been involved with the Green Party since 2020. He is also a member of LGBTQIA+ Greens, Green Party Women, and an Equality and Diversity Committee Member since October, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Reactions across X ranged from disbelief to anger, with some responses particularly critical of his claim to be a lesbian.

Following the significant backlash, Poulton locked his X account.

Some critics also pointed to Poulton’s 2019 run for the Wyre Forest Council Elections while representing the Conservative Party. During his campaign, he did not yet describe himself as transgender, wore a suit, and still used his birth name, Matthew Viner.

On December 9, Conservative Party MP Rachel Maclean was slammed by her political opponents after she shared a post from Reduxx co-founder Genevieve Gluck which referred to Poulton as a “man who wears a wig.” Maclean commented on the post, writing: “While the Greens don’t know what a woman is, my Worcestershire neighbours, the people of Bromsgrove certainly do.”

Poulton was given a platform on BBC to complain about Maclean, stating: “Without a shadow of a doubt it is a transphobic comment.”

While Maclean ultimately deleted her post, she stood firm on its contents after GB News alleged she had “apologized” to Poulton.

“In fact I did NOT apologize for my comments relating to the Green Party’s extreme policies on gender and self ID ideology and am happy to come on to your program to explain my position in more detail. As Deputy Chair for Women, I am clear that the law allows me to say what a woman is and the difference between a woman and a trans woman. Both deserve respect and freedom to live their lives but it is not transphobic to say they are not the same thing,” she wrote in a multi-part thread.

Reduxx has now discovered a Pinterest account believed to belong to Poulton. Within his Pinterest board, populated when he still “identified” as male, Poulton had saved images related to sissification pornography, a genre which involves men being transformed into young women or even into little girls.

Several images saved by Poulton under a collection titled “AMAB” were sourced from sissification and forced feminization pornography blogs hosted on Tumblr.

One animated gif shared by Poulton depicts what appears to be a young man in a blond wig and a pink high school chearleading uniform, sitting seductively on a bed covered with rose petals. The text written across the photo reads, “Is there any doubt left sissy? Go full time.”

In another image shared by Poulton, “instructions” were provided for men who identify as women to follow, including always smiling at males who make eye contact with them in an apparent show of submissiveness.

Another post shared by Poulton reads: “Femininity is more than appearance. It’s an air… composed of starched petticoats, a ribbon or two, and an indefinable plus. And how do you do it? It doesn’t matter. You’re a woman now, so make the most of it. Apply your makeup with a delicate hand. Let your clothes reflect your womanliness.”

Accounts followed by Poulton on Pinterest similarly share fetishistic content, including images of the BDSM practice of sissification in which men wear highly sexualized maid uniforms and perform degrading tasks. In other instances, a type of content known as sissy captions are shared. The images are of women posed in a pornographic fashion alongside text intended to encourage male viewers to begin taking estrogen.

One account followed by Poulton on Pinterest shares content known as sissy captions.

This is not the first controversy involving trans-identified males in the UK Green Party.

Just months ago, Heather Herbert, a trans-identified male currently standing with the Green Party, came under fire on social media after uploading photos of himself using a bathroom intended for women with disabilities to “dilate” himself.

Herbert posted an image of himself lying on the floor the bathroom, which was at Gatwick airport, captioning it: “Found a disabled toilet… not the most fun I’ve had.” Dilation refers to a process in which trans-identified males insert a rod into their surgically-constructed genital hole, often referred to as a “neo-vagina.” Dilation is often done for the rest of a patient’s life following “gender affirming” genital surgery.

In 2019, the party was accused of not properly vetting Aimee Challenor prior to allowing him to run for the position of Deputy Leader. Challenor, who was the party’s “equality spokeswoman” was a top contender for the position until it was learned he had hired his pedophile father to serve as his election agent.

At the time, Challenor’s father was out on bail after being charged for the rape and torture of a 10-year-old girl. Challenor nevertheless hid his father’s past from the public before it was discovered in what the party would later call a “major safeguarding risk.” David Challenor was ultimately sentenced to 22 years in prison for the horrific crime.

While under scrutiny, Challenor’s romantic partner was similarly embroiled in controversy after netizens discovered he had admitted to becoming aroused while fantasizing about children being sexually abused.
