A 25-year-old man in Ontario, Canada, has been charged with breaking in to a family’s home in Welland and sexually assaulting their toddler. Daniel “Dani” Senecal identified himself as using “she/her” on his Facebook profile and displayed the trans pride flag in his biography.
On Sunday, August 31, police and paramedics were called to a home near Crowland Avenue and York Street in Welland for a medical assistance call involving a young child. When emergency first responders arrived, they discovered the front door of the home showed signs of being forced open and the child was suffering from serious injuries.
Officers secured the scene and canvassed the neighbourhood shortly thereafter. Investigators say a witness came forward with surveillance video, and the suspect was quickly identified as Daniel Senecal.
Senecal was taken into custody and charged with aggravated sexual assault on a child, assault, assault by choking, breaking and entering a home and sexual interference with a child. His young female victim has been transported out-of-region for advanced medical care, but she has been declared to be stable.
After interviewing the parents, Niagara Police issued a news release describing Senecal as a “stranger” had broken into the family’s home sometime between 10 p.m. and 8:59 a.m. and sexually assaulted their sleeping toddler.
Senecal’s Facebook profile.
While police attempted to portray the crime as a “stranger attack,” the National Post has since reported that several friends of the victim’s mother say the man arrested was known to the victim’s family and had previous contact with the toddler he assaulted. Locals also expressed confusion as to why police described it as a “stranger attack” when that was not the case.
Another mother in the area told the National Post that Senecal had sexually assaulted her young son in 2021. She said he was arrested, charged and after two years of court hearings was sentenced to 18 months in jail, but was released six months early, in early March.
While little is known about Senecal’s past, a Facebook page has been uncovered showing that he appears to have recently adopted a transgender identity.
On the profile, Senecal refers to himself as “Dani,” and, in a short bio note, writes “finally figured it out” with the gay pride and trans pride flag emojis.
His pronouns on the profile are set to “she/her” and his most recent selfie, taken in March, shows that he had clean-shaven his beard and grown out his hair.
While it is unclear when Senecal first began to identify as transgender, under the current laws in Ontario, he is allowed to request housing and accommodations on the basis of his self-declared “gender identity.”
In Ontario, transgender inmates are generally housed according to their self-declared gender preferences, both in federal and provincial facilities, unless officials determine that serious safety or health concerns make it impossible.
The federal Correctional Service of Canada formalized this policy in 2017 and reinforced it in 2022 with Commissioner’s Directive 100, which requires placement based on gender identity or expression by default. Ontario’s provincial system adopted a similar policy in 2015, instructing that inmates be placed according to their gender identity or housing preference, with exceptions only if authorities can prove compelling reasons.
The only province in Canada that has moved to defy the nationwide procedural consensus is Quebec, which recently adopted new rules surrounding the housing of transgender inmates. In June, Quebec’s Public Security Minister, François Bonnardel, announced that the province would now require transgender inmates in provincial prisons to be housed based on their anatomical sex at birth, rather than on their self‑identified gender.
The announcement came after a high-profile trial involving a trans-identified male who had murdered his entire family. Mohamad Al Ballouz began to identify as a woman after being arrested, and was briefly placed in a women’s facility during trial. He has since been moved to a men’s prison.
Such radical cultural sadism could only lead to radical polarization: all or nothing.
A church full of children from a Catholic school in Minneapolis. A male named Westman, who identified as a “transgender woman” and had changed his name from Robert to Robin, entered during a Mass held for the first week of the new school year, and carried out a massacre: two children dead, aged 8 and 10, while another 17, among them children and adults were injured, some seriously.
The usual media will now talk about how “easy it is to get a gun in America.” Others about how “difficult it is to be transgender in America.” Still others, like the New York Times, will try to find a “motive.” Others will not speak of it at all.
Media diversions.
Minnesota has stricter gun laws than most U.S. states, and Governor Tim Walz (former running mate of Kamala Harris in the presidential race) has designated the state a “refuge for trans people.”
What will not be discussed is the “motive” behind Westman’s massacre (only if the terrorist is a white supremacist must one discuss it).
No one wants to look into the heart of woke darkness.
The attacker had written a manifesto full of insane thoughts about killing “filthy Zionist Jews,” Donald Trump, and Elon Musk. And then that “six million are not enough” (anti-Zionist fury always turns antisemitic, despite the hypocritical distinctions made by newspapers) and “Mashallah,” which means “if Allah wills it.”
What drives a transgender youth to glorify Allah and kill Christian children to “avenge Gaza”? Westman is the product of the woke agenda, full of madness and hatred, that has infested the West.
In Colorado, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian immigrant and fan of the Muslim Brotherhood, said he wanted to “kill them all,” the Jews, at the march for Israeli hostages. His oldest victim, 88 years old, was a refugee from Nazi-era Europe.
“Six million are not enough.”
Jews who kill children. Jews who poison wells. Jews who spread diseases. Anyone convinced that Jews shoot Gaza residents for fun will not be persuaded by any rational objection. A genocidal army, especially one as powerful as the IDF, does not take two years to win a war in a territory the size of an Italian province. But of course, the jihadist Ministry of Health in Gaza is much more credible than the official reports of democratic Israel.
It takes a certain genius to turn reality inside out like a blood-soaked glove. Radical Islam has this genius. It is not a genius of civilization. It is a genius of evil. It has taken the language of the West, stripped it, emptied it, and used it as a media mask. A terror that disguises itself as martyrdom. An army of shadows that says: “Look what they are doing to us.” While it shoots, stabs, beheads, rapes, and films.
And then there is this softened and masochistic West that apologizes for existing, that loves its executioners, and hates its allies.
The blood of Jews dissolves in their great and gloomy woke dialectic.
A generation has thus grown up thinking that the world would be a more peaceful place without Israel, that America would be healthier if someone got rid of Donald Trump, that for the sake of the climate one can move on to doing harm, and that transgenderism is a new substitute religion.
Islamic terror is not an alien body; it is their beloved child. Their perfect model. It combines the Kalashnikov with social media, prayer with human bomb, cultural orphanage with media strategy.
“We love death as you love life,” repeat the terrorists who want to wipe out the Jews in the Middle East. And now we also have white terrorists who write “odes to death.”
And so we come to Robin “Westman,” nomen omen.
“Where is your God?” wrote the Minneapolis terrorist on one of the magazines used in the school. No God could save the Christian children, just as no God could save the Israeli children, the sweet Bibas brothers whose faces are erased from our streets by anttisemites.
Their mad God, an incredible mix of Mashallah and Wokistan, has decided to put an end to the West.
Bournemouth was once a quintessentially British seaside resort — genteel, safe, and idyllic. Today it has become a microcosm of modern Britain, plagued by gang violence, sexual assaults, and locals forced to organise street patrols. This is the direct result of mass third world migration and the failed ideology of multiculturalism. For decades the public pleaded peacefully for the experiment to end. They voted, obeyed the rules, and trusted the system. But those days are over. Now the demand is not just to stop the inflows, but to reverse them. The choice is stark: Old Britain or the new Bournemouth.
Lower Saxony’s Interior Minister Daniela Behrens has ridiculed the initiative of her North Rhine-Westphalia counterpart to record multiple nationalities of suspects and victims in crime statistics.
CDU official Herbert Reul ordered the policy’s introduction in North Rhine-Westphalia late last month, saying that without this information, “we are groping in the dark.” It means that anyone holding a German passport alongside another will no longer appear solely as German in the state’s crime data.
But Behrens hit back this week, saying she believes “the direction of this debate to be fundamentally wrong.” The SPD official toldDer Spiegel:
A German is someone who holds German citizenship; there is, and should be, no gradation.
As if, therefore, there was any doubt, Behrens added that Lower Saxony will not be changing what she described as its “proven practice.”
Not that there isn’t pressure for the region to follow North Rhine-Westphalia’s lead. CDU MP André Bock said showing multiple nationalities in police crime statistics “is an important step towards greater transparency and honesty in the security debate.”
Perhaps, as we previously posed, other states will reconsider their positions once the results of North Rhine-Westphalia’s become clear.
Spanish police are investigating more than 20 illegal immigrants over the deaths of more than 70 others reportedly accused of witchcraft.
In early August, a migrant boat carrying around 320 people from the West African coast suffered engine failure and was adrift in the Atlantic Ocean for more than two weeks.
The vessel was rescued on August 24 by Spanish coastguards, with only 248 survivors brought to Arguineguin on Gran Canaria’s southern coast a day later.
According to survivor testimonies, around 70 migrants were allegedly killed during the journey, with their bodies thrown overboard.
Investigators said the boat was stranded en route to Spain and had been adrift for about 15 days when a group of 20 to 30 young passengers, all sub-Saharan Africans, seized control and allegedly killed the 70-odd others in order to survive.
Their deaths reportedly followed disputes over dwindling food and water supplies, with the alleged victims initially accused of stealing resources and later of practicing witchcraft.
Spanish news outlet OkDiario reported that 20 to 30 young sub-Saharan men, now housed in refugee centres in the Canary Islands, were under investigation for allegedly carrying out what it described as “executions”.
Spanish police have made several arrests and the investigation is ongoing, co-ordinated by a court in Gran Canaria.
It remains unclear if women or children were among the alleged victims. The police stated that the exact number of fatalities was still under investigation.
Relatives and friends of those who died are demanding action after learning of the situation via social media.
The Canary Islands have been a magnet for illegal migrants, leading to frustration among the local population.
Fernando Clavijo, President of the Canary Islands, has been critical of the leading political parties in Spain over what he said was their lack of action, saying the archipelago felt “abandoned”.
Spain has pursued open-border policies under the current progressive government, with Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez claiming the country needed migrants. That has led to a sharp rise in migration, including illegal migration.
In 2024 the government announced the country was set to legalise 300,000 undocumented migrants per year through 2027 under new regulations.
A violent attack by three Syrian brothers in Hof over an unpaid €15 ice cream bill has left six people injured, including a 10-year-old girl, but the suspects have already been released from custody.
The men, aged 15, 19, and 25, all residing in the Helmbrechts district, had eaten ice cream at the Levante shop the previous week without paying. When they returned on Monday and again refused to settle the debt, the confrontation escalated.
TVO reported how the eldest brother struck the 42-year-old shop owner with a metal flagpole, while a 24-year-old employee and the owner’s daughter were also hurt in the scuffle. The 19-year-old migrant smashed furniture while the youngest brother tried to drag a table inside as the men rioted.
The brothers fled but were intercepted at Sonnenplatz. Witnesses told police one of the men might be armed with a knife, prompting officers to draw their service weapons. When the eldest brother resisted arrest and attacked an officer, pepper spray was used, and three officers were injured in the struggle. A passerby reportedly helped slow the man’s escape before police finally subdued him.
Remix News has posted footage of the arrest.
🇩🇪‼️ Syrian migrants at an ice cream parlor in Germany refused to pay their €15 bill and turned violent.
The incident happened on Monday in Hof. Three brothers, aged 15, 19, and 25, had been asked to settle their bill by the owner, and when they refused, he said he was calling… pic.twitter.com/R0Nsxjg2dF
During the search, officers found a Tilidine tablet on the 19-year-old, leading to an additional investigation under the Narcotics Act. All three are known to police, with the eldest already convicted of property and assault offenses.
Despite the violence, the public prosecutor’s office determined there was no legal basis for pretrial detention. Prosecutors cited the men’s permanent residence in Helmbrechts and the absence of grounds such as risk of flight, obstruction of justice, or destruction of evidence. “As much as some might have wanted to take the men into custody, without a legal ground for detention, that is not possible,” Chief Inspector Patric Scheibel told Frankenpost.
The Levante ice cream parlor has since issued a statement thanking police and guests who assisted during the ordeal. “Although we offered to pay for the ice cream later, this time they provocatively told us that they wouldn’t pay. When we then said we would have to call the police, the situation escalated,” the statement read.
“A very special thank you also goes to our guests who were present on the terrace, supported us in this difficult situation, and helped us identify the perpetrators more quickly through their photos,” it added.
The brothers now face charges including grievous bodily harm, assault, resisting law enforcement, and violations of the Narcotics Act, but are free to roam while they await trial.
Americans who don’t spend time in Europe might not fully appreciate what a powder keg the Old World has become. However bad social relations in the United States now are, they are at least an order of magnitude worse on the other side of the Atlantic. European self-hatred is dissolving traditional cultural bonds. Mass immigration is compounding age-old rivalries. Europe is one spark away from exploding.
Europe is a perennial battlefield. Many of our ancestors, after all, left the old country to escape religious, economic, and cultural conflicts that had endured for centuries. Those historic grievances — always simmering in times of peace before boiling over into outright violence — are passed from one generation to the next. Modern European nations are the product of two thousand years of shifting borders and alliances, and native Europeans trace their family lineages back to regional tribes whose ancient territories do not fit neatly within the politically drawn maps of today.
If you think geographical accents in America make it tricky for a Mississippian or Minnesotan to communicate effectively with an English-speaker from the Bronx, consider that Europe is home to nearly three hundred native tongues. Switzerland has four national languages — including Romansch, which derives from the spoken Latin of the Roman Empire. The cornucopia of indigenous languages, dialects, vocabularies, and accents makes it possible for local residents of small towns to recognize “outsiders” immediately. Even more impressively, they can usually tell — just by listening — which towns a stranger’s grandparents once called home.
Two world wars — both ignited in Europe and responsible for immense European destruction — propelled a mid-twentieth-century political movement calling for the eradication of national borders. The European intelligentsia who became the founding members of the continent’s fledgling transnational bureaucracy blamed national pride for Europe’s carnage and effectively turned “nationalism” into a dirty word.
Oddly, this was also a time when crumbling empires, such as France and the United Kingdom, were at least tepidly supporting the national independence of former colonies. Likewise, it was the beginning of a half-century U.S.-led campaign to encourage national revolutions in European countries stuck behind the Soviet Union’s Iron Curtain. So Western power brokers framed nationalism as a kind of intolerable ethos on par with Mussolini’s fascism and Hitler’s national socialism while encouraging former nations or proto-nations in Central Europe, Africa, and Asia to break away from the respective empires that controlled them. While Western leaders pushed for the integration of distinct European nations into a single “Union,” they also promoted national independence movements under the rationale that all humans possess a natural right to self-determination.
In the eighty years since the project for European integration began in earnest, those latent contradictions have transformed Europe into a tinderbox with even greater potential energy for self-destruction than existed before WWI and II. While the bureaucratic ruling class has actively repressed the historic identities of native Europeans, it has flooded the continent with foreigners who are encouraged to retain their own cultural identities. In this way, a Hungarian or Pole or Dane who celebrates his country’s unique heritage is denounced as a “far-right nationalist,” while a Frenchman who insists that African and Middle Eastern immigrants assimilate to the European way of life is denounced as a “racist” and “bigot.”
This anti-European monstrosity was created deliberately. Simultaneous suppression of Europeans’ national identities and protections for foreign nationals create a kind of “multiculturalism dynamo” that converts Europeans into something alien. Stripped of their native religion, culture, and historic customs and forced to praise foreign religions, cultures, and customs taking hold in the West’s civilizational void, Europeans are effectively assimilated within their own lands. Europeans are taught to despise their own civilization and to bow down before those who seek to replicate a foreign civilization inside Europe. Europe’s bureaucratic ruling class uses foreigners to beat the Europeanness out of Europeans.
Perhaps because a critical mass of Europeans finally realizes what Europe’s unelected bureaucrats have done, a “Great Awakening” is spreading across the continent. After decades of submitting to cultural erasure, a patriotic fervor is taking root once again. As many now see it, if globalism’s war on nationalism means that only nations outside Europe will survive, then European peace is not worth the cost.
Many Americans will dismiss this resurgence of European nationalism as “too little, too late,” but I would strike a more optimistic chord. Sometimes we must be pushed to the edge of the cliff before we find our footing and forcefully fight back. When surrender means falling into the sea and survival requires moving in the opposite direction, the right choice is also the only one.
In the United Kingdom, a grassroots movement of ordinary Brits has initiated “Operation: Raise the Colors.” The strategy is simple: British citizens are encouraged to prominently display and wave the Cross of St. George and Union Jack flags.
What could possibly be offensive or dangerous about raising the flags of England and the United Kingdom? Nothing. Yet the globalist Establishment is losing its collective mind. Leftists insist that the flags should be replaced with something more “multicultural” and that only “far-right racists” would stoop so low as to patriotically raise the country’s flags. Open-borders politicians are calling the flag-waving “extremist,” “hate-filled,” and “white supremacist.” In other words, the British people have forced Britain’s “elites” to acknowledge that they have no loyalty to and only antipathy for the United Kingdom.
This rather anodyne form of political speech is proving remarkably effective at exposing globalism’s suicidal contagion. In London, it is perfectly normal to see so-called “gay pride” flags, “Palestinian” flags, Pakistani flags, Iranian flags, and the flags of almost every third-world nation now offloading its citizens onto the shores of the U.K. If a British citizen were to express outrage over the fact that a panoply of foreign flags is flown brazenly throughout the capital, constables would intimidate the outspoken “offender” into silence by threatening him with prosecution for imaginary “hate speech.” Revealingly, however, these same petty tyrants throw hissy fits when native Brits dare “raise the colors” of their own nation’s historic flags.
Similar movements are picking up steam. Ten years ago, it was more common to see such patriotic displays on the streets of Balkan nations or amid independence parades in the Basque region or other areas of Europe seeking national recognition. Today it is easy to stumble into a sea of Dutch, Danish, German, Italian, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Hungarian, Polish, Czech, or Greek flags when crossing borders. Eighty years after the European Union began constructing its continental empire, the “colonies” appear eager to reclaim their right to self-determination.
I think it’s fair to say that ordinary Europeans are no longer willing to remain quiet as the bureaucratic ruling class kills what’s left of Europe and hands the carcass to foreign conquerors. As an American with absolute fidelity to the millennia-long promises of Western civilization, I find these patriotic revivals timely rebuttals to a globalist Establishment that prefers our death.
I cannot tell you how many times I have come across the words of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas translated into one of Europe’s many native languages. “Do not go gentle into that good night” and “Rage, rage against the dying of the light” show up on message boards like faint heartbeats on an EKG machine. Many in Europe don’t want to die. To live, they’ll have to fight.
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has admitted that he would not want a migrant hotel near his family’s home, as his government houses over 30,000 supposed asylum seekers in hotels in communities across the country.
Hotel migrants for thee, but not for me appears to be the new credo of Downing Street as Prime Minister Starmer continues to struggle to grapple with mounting public anger over the mass migration agenda imposed upon Britain by both Westminster establishment parties.
Speaking with BBC Radio 5 Live’s Matt Chorley on Tuesday, Starmer attempted to relate to Joe Public by claiming that he understood that immigration is a “really serious issue”.
“We have to have control of our borders, and I completely get it, and I’m determined that whether it’s people crossing in the first place, whether it’s people in asylum hotels, or whether it’s returning people, we absolutely have to deal with this,” the Labour PM said per the Independent.
When pressed on whether he would feel comfortable if a hotel was commandeered to house migrants near his family’s home, Starmer said: “Local people by and large do not want these hotels in their towns, in their place, nor do I. I’m completely at one with them on that.”
While the prime minister has said he hopes to accelerate the shutdown of the migrant hotel scheme before his government’s original 2029 planned end date, he has so far refused to commit to a new timeframe. The PM said that he wants asylum hotels “emptied” and that he understood “why people are so concerned about it”.
At present, there are over 32,000 alleged asylum seekers being housed at British taxpayer expense in over 200 hotels dotted across the UK.
Nevertheless, it has been his government which has argued that the rights of supposed asylum seekers and the requirements for the government to house them outweigh the rights of locals to decide who lives in their midst.
This argument put forward by the Home Office successfully overturned a temporary injunction to shut down the asylum-housing Bell Hotel in Epping, which sparked nationwide protests in June after an illegal Ethiopian living in the hotel was accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl from the Essex town.
The local Epping Forrest council suffered another blow on Tuesday, as the same Court of Appeal that overturned the injunction to shut down the hotel ruled that the council could not appeal the decision to the Supreme Court, the BBC reports.
The Court of Appeal decision has come under scrutiny, with critics claiming that the lead judge in the case, Lord Justice Bean, may have had a conflict of interest given his longstanding prior membership in the Labour Party and his ties to pro-mass migration groups, such as the socialist Fabian Society.
However, the council still has legal options remaining, including a planned October High Court hearing for a potential permanent injunction. The local government said that it is also considering plans to apply directly to the Supreme Court in the meantime.
The outcome of the case is likely to have national ramifications, with at least 19 other councils planning legal action to attempt to shut down migrant hotels in their areas.
[L] Steph Blanch, [C] Kirralie Smith, [R] Riley Dennis
An Australian woman who has vocally opposed the participation of trans-identified male players in women’s football leagues has been deemed guilty of “vilification” after two of the men filed Apprehended Violence Orders (AVO) against her for referring to them as “men.”
Kirralie Smith, a spokeswoman with Binary Australia, a campaign group dedicated to advocating for single-sex sports in Australia, has been told by the local court of New South Wales that she “unlawfully vilified” the two men – Justin “Riley” Dennis and Nicholas “Stephanie” Blanch – by raising public awareness of their inclusion in women’s sports after learning of injuries sustained by female players.
Demands made by Dennis and Blanch that may be imposed upon Smith and Binary Australia include: two payouts to the trans-identified men, at a maximum of $100,000 each, for “damages” to their reputation; a further financial penalty requiring Smith and Binary to cover the men’s court costs; a requirement that Smith and Binary issue a public apology; and the expectation that they “develop a policy aimed at eliminating unlawful discrimination and transgender vilification in relation to any future public acts.”
The court’s final decision, which will outline the extent of the punitive measures, is expected to be handed down in November.
Reduxx has reviewed both of the judgements, which were decided by Magistrate Sharon Freund on August 26. The AVO judgements center around comments that Smith made on social media which highlighted the fact that Dennis and Blanch, by playing on women’s football teams, jeopardized the safety of female athletes.
The AVO lodged by Dennis was filed in March 2023. Police visited Smith at her home on March 30 and Smith was given the AVO requiring that she refrain from discussing or approaching Dennis – despite the fact that Smith lives over 200 miles from him.
Apparently the judge has ruled against me. Guilty of vilification against two trans identified people.
“Orders:
1. I am satisfied that the defendant unlawfully vilified the Plaintiff … when she referred to the plaintiff as a male or a man”.
Last week’s court decision laid out specific comments made by Smith between March 29 and March 31, 2023 that Dennis alleged were discriminatory against him. In particular, Smith discussed alleged injuries sustained by two female players which were said to have occurred during a match involving Dennis.
“I have cried a lot today,” Smith wrote on Facebook on March 27, 2023. “Last night I was contacted by people in Sydney. It is alleged that two female soccer players were hospitalised over the weekend after being forced to play against a male appropriating womanhood. Trying to get hold of the video. Football Australia have received more than 2000 complaints about the men in teams such as Wingham FC and some Sydney first grade teams,” she said, referencing both Blanch and Dennis.
“No one is excluding trans,” Smith continued. “We simply want female sex-based services and spaces. The trans can play according to biology or on a mixed or trans team.”
Smith also noted that “the top goal scorer in the NSW Women’s League One First Grade soccer is male,” referring again to Dennis. “Football NSW fail to safeguard women and girls for the sake of men’s feelings!”
In 2023, Football New South Wales (NSW) introduced a Gender Diversity Policy. The guidance states, “FNSW remains committed to supporting the inclusion of Transgender, Non-Binary and Gender Diverse people in Football. FNSW intends that Gender Diverse Players who are registered to play Football in the gender competition which best suits the Player’s Gender Identity shall be supported to play in a safe and inclusive environment.”
Additionally, Football Australia’s Anti-Discrimination Policy defines “excluding people on the basis of their sex and / or gender identity status from participation in a competitive sporting activity” as a prohibited form of discrimination.
A letter-writing campaign was launched by Smith, out of concern for the safety of the female players, encouraging concerned individuals to contact Football New South Wales — which reportedly then received over 12,000 submissions. Yet after Smith had publicly identified Dennis as the top goal scorer in the women’s league, Football NSW scrubbed Dennis’ name from their website, replacing his name with “Inter Player” on their roster.
Reduxx has learned that trans activist Riley Dennis injured a female player while participating in a women's football game in Australia on May 21.
This is the second time Dennis is alleged to have injured women while playing in a women's league.
After being afforded protection by Football New South Wales, Dennis continued to play on women’s football teams. On May 21 of that year, Dennis was filmed injuring a young female athlete during a game between the Inter Lions and the St. George football clubs at the Majors Bay Reserve.
Reduxx published footage of the match, showing Dennis launch his smaller female opponent towards a metal fence using an aggressive tackle as the two chased down the ball.
Reduxx was told that the female St. George player was provided treatment from the club’s physiotherapist during the game’s half-time break, hoping to be able to return to the field. But, during the second half of the game, the woman was only able to play for “approximately 8 minutes” before she succumbed to the injuries she sustained and had to be replaced.
An anonymous source close to the situation explained to Reduxx that Dennis left the Inter Lions team following the controversy over the injured female players. The source stated that Dennis then submitted at least three applications of interest for other teams, which were not accepted. The Flying Bats, however, approved his application to join the team. The football club’s official website states it is “the biggest LGBTQIA+ women’s and non-binary football club in the world,” having been founded in 1985.
A "trans inclusive" football club in Australia has won a women's championship match, defeating a previously-undefeated women's team.
The Flying Bats has at least 5 males on the team, some of whom have been accused of injuring female players.https://t.co/19djsrCE02
The Flying Bats, a football club for “self-identified women and non-binary people,” has drawn significant criticism due to its policies, and because there are at least five male players known to be playing on their Premier League women’s football team. The heightened scrutiny has led officials to increase security and implement prohibitions against filming at matches.
As critics such as Smith have attempted to sound the alarm regarding the risks posed to female players, as well as emphasizing the physical advantages that male athletes have over other women’s teams, The Flying Bats have dominated their competitors. During the 2024 season of the North West Sydney Football Women’s Premier Competition, The Flying Bats won all 17 games and scored 76 goals while only a total of 8 points were scored against them.
In 2022, the Flying Bats FC was presented with a Fair Play award, the same year that a female player had her leg broken in two places by an unidentified male player for their team. The female player was said to be “screaming in pain” due to the injury, and is now no longer playing football. At the time, her teammate was penalized for “transphobia” after she made a remark referring to the trans-identified player as a male.

The second AVO lodged against Smith was filed by Nicholas “Stephanie” Blanch, who plays against female athletes in the Wingham Football Club.
Blanch first applied for his AVO against Smith on March 22, 2023, but his complaint was rejected in January of 2024 after the Civil and Administrative Tribunal of New South Wales found that the scope of the request was out of their jurisdiction. But Blanch appealed the following month, arguing that Smith’s “conduct” had caused him to fear for his safety, and on March 21 of last year, Magistrate Greenwood granted him permission to pursue the matter in court.
In January 2023, Smith wrote an article for Binary which explained that Blanch was male and that he had been given a participation award for playing against women.
“Men of mid coast NSW [New South Wales], can you get in touch with me please? I need your help. There is a bloke playing on the women’s team in Wingham and many are upset about it. The federation is refusing to listen,” Smith posted to X on January 19, 2023.
The following day, Smith posted the article she had written alongside a photo of Blanch. Examples of statements highlighted as harassment in Blanch’s AVO include quotes from the article Smith authored.
“Wingham Football Club on the Mid North Coast of NSW published these photos on their Facebook page in December 2022. The bloke in a frock was receiving an award for playing in the women’s division.”
“The bloke in a frock can play either in the men’s competition or a mixed competition, there is absolutely no need for him to play in a women’s division,” Smith added. “No one is saying he can’t play. It is simply a matter of fairness, safety, and dignity. He is male and does not belong in a female division. Women and girls deserve to have the option of a female-only competition.”
The AVO further cites several instances wherein Smith referred to Blanch simply as a “bloke in a frock,” and a “man,” between January and February 2023. The court, in its judgement, stated that Smith – and by extension Binary Australia – “sought to evoke fear in the reader regarding the fact that [Blanch], who is described as a man / male / bloke is playing in a women’s team (and transgender women playing in women’s sport generally).”
Evidence provided in the judgement to support this statement included Smith’s comments: “How can girls, women, and families feel safe when they are not even permitted to question the presence of a man in their space or on the field?” and “Why should parents be put in the terrible situation of having to deal with an adult man in their daughter’s bathroom?”
In 2013, the Gillard government introduced legislation which amended Australia’s Anti-Discrimination Act to include provisions regarding “gender identity.”
Section 38S of the ADA states: “It is unlawful for a person, by a public act, to incite hatred towards, serious contempt for, or severe ridicule of a person [or persons] on the ground that the person is a transgender person.”
As a result of Australia’s national policies prohibiting public statements of “discrimination” on the basis of gender identity, Smith has been repeatedly censored online over the past two years.
We live in an upside down world when defending fairness and safety for women and girls is considered ‘violence’ and ‘harassment’, and when males intruding on female sports are the ones painted as the victims.
On February 20, 2023, Smith’s public Facebook page was removed at the request of Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant.
