Happy Birthday to Malala! 

Happy 25th birthday to Malala! The Pakistani girls’ education activist, who survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban ten years ago, became the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate in history at the age of 17. In 2020, Malala graduated from Oxford University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. Today, she continues her work of breaking down barriers to education for girls around the world through her non-profit organization, the Malala Fund.

the story of the four colombian children that survived over a month in the jungle after surviving a plane crash is incredible. their mother initially survived the crash, but was fatally injured, and as she was dying, she told them to leave her so that they may live. the eldest child, a 13 year old girl, is who kept the younger siblings alive, having both knowledge of edible jungle plants, as well as scavenging the wreckage, knowing how to take care of an infant (yes, the youngest was an 11-12 month old baby), and also had a hobby of playing ‘survival games’ with her 9 year old sister, where they would built make-shift shelters outside for fun. they were finally rescued several days ago, in large part because the search helicopters continuously played a recording of their grandmother, telling them to stay where they are in their native language.

so, three generations of women and girls, grandmother, mother, and daughter, all contributed to the group’s survival. they are malnourished and dehydrated, but apart from that, fine physically. they will be out of hospital in little over a week (excluding perhaps the baby).

Maybe it’s not impossible that there are some gay people are who born gay and some whose exclusive ssa develops in later life. In general I think there needs to more discussion and studies on this, to see if there are separate reasons ssa may manifest in different people, but of course very sensitively so homophobes don’t misconstrue them to justify their homophobia. It would be a lot easier to examine the different reasons people could be gay if homophobia wasn’t always there waiting in the corner. I wish things like this could be discussed more neutrally and without agenda

menalez:

hm no i think if u have a history of being attracted to the opposite sex and then eventually become “exclusively” same-sex attracted then ur simply bi. if it wasnt exclusive before, how is it ever going to be exclusive? bi people’s preferences change over time and many have gone back & forth in terms of the sex they prefer so i dont think it makes much sense to argue thats the same as homosexuality which is consistent and unchanged over time. if there’s people who are always & consistently exclusively ssa, and then people who aren’t, wouldn’t that be in itself a different sexual orientation?

One of the first pride founders, Fred Sargeant.

I love this dude. He has zero chill.

Of course you need someone like this to start the first Pride. You need this type of person to help start a positive uplifting revolutionary parade in response to homophobic state violence. TRAs absolutely hate him because he’s alive and they can’t erase the history of a living man. They can’t infantilize him or change his identity posthumously like they do with dead lesbians and gays. They have to deal with a real activist who is feisty, witty, and leaves no stone unturned. That’s the kind of attitude that was very useful in 1969 and 1970. And it’s honestly reassuring to see that he’s not another gay doormat. He’s not telling us to “just be kind” to a rising wave of homophobia. He’s leading with his conviction that homophobia is unacceptable everywhere in every form. And he won’t compromise on that. And he’s held this stance for decades. He’s never wavered.

People might try to tell you “you’re too focused on the trans issue! You’re not actually helping any gay people!” If they try to say that, remember Fred. He’s absolutely not taking his eye off the trans movement because it has rapidly unraveled a movement he helped build. So if he’s not taking his eye off it, we shouldn’t either.

i get why the “i was born gay” line became a thing but on a personal and ontological level its stupid as fuck, its now become counterproductive and essentializing, it is undialectical and it should be retired

It’s so funny to me how straight people treat homosexuality as some intellectual exercise… sorry that my innate sexuality isn’t convenient for your postmodern self-identified consciousness or whatever but “personally and ontologically” i understand myself to be born homosexual and i experience homosexuality as an innate part of my being that was not influenced by any outside factors. throughout history, gay people have understood our sexualities as an innate part of our existence. “Personally and ontologically,” this is consistent with my belief that homosexuality is a natural, morally neutral biological variation that occurs in human beings. “Personally and ontologically,” this is consistent with my first-hand experience that my sexuality cannot be persuaded, changed, altered, unlearned or “unpacked.” “Personally and ontologically,” I find it most accurate to say that I was born gay just as I was born female and born human and I will die that way and nothing in between my birth and death can change those immutable facts about me. The fact is, the only people who find the idea of innate (homo)sexuality “counterproductive” or “essentialist” are those with the goal of changing or delegitimizing homosexuality, of moralizing it, of diminishing it, of legislating it, of eradicating it. I don’t give a shit if some homophobic straight person finds these facts of my being to be “undialectical” honestly this shit is the most vile navel gazing self important STRAIGHT ASS HOMOPHOBIC bullshit I’ve ever read and you should be humiliated that you made this post.

Straight people act like there’s some Secret Gay Conspiracy where we just pretend that we’re born gay so the homophobes will feel bad for us or whatever.

It’s what the single ladies have been saying.

I am a heterosexual woman and I’m telling you girls out there you aren’t missing Anything.

Focus on your school.

Focus on your happiness.

Focus on your finances.

Focus on your health.

Travel. Eat.

You don’t need a man to be fulfilled. Only you can do that.

An intact white male went to a Korean spa and wanted access to the space for nude women, was denied, found another spa that was trans inclusive and is still suing the first spa.

Man Who Identifies as Transgender Files Legal Complaint Against Korean Sauna After Being Denied Access To Nude Women's Space - Reduxx

A man who identifies as transgender has filed a legal complaint against a New Jersey sauna over “discrimination” on the basis of gender iden

Reduxx

A man who identifies as transgender has filed a legal complaint against a New Jersey sauna over “discrimination” on the basis of gender identity. 

Alexandra “Allie” Goebert was denied access to the women’s section of King Spa & Sauna in Palisades Park on the basis of his sex, a move he claims was a violation of the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD).

Goebert, who is a US Army Veteran and law school graduate, filed the complaint to the state’s Department of Law and Public Safety on October 7, 2022 over the incident, which he states occurred last year on August 14. Goebert also is the owner of White Crow Martial Arts, located in Watertown, New York, where he teaches the Korean combat sport of taekwondo.

King Spa & Sauna is a facility inspired by the Korean jimjilbang, a sex-segregated public bathhouse intended for rejuvenation and health benefits. Bathing areas are sex-segregated as they are intended to be used nude. The spa’s website makes specific note of this custom.

“If you are K-spa newbie and uncomfortable being nude, you could skip the bath house. Change to the Spa uniform in the locker room and go straight to the saunas. For bath house users, you must be fully nude,” it advises.

According to the complaint, Goebert was issued a “male token” when he arrived at King Spa & Sauna, “which did not align with [his] gender identity.” Additionally, Goebert alleges that he was asked whether he had undergone genital surgery by a staff member who stated, “Have you changed your front?” to which he replied, “No.”

In accordance with the facility’s policy, Goebert was told he was prohibited from entering the women’s section, where female patrons made use of the hot tubs and wet saunas, because “those areas required nudity.”

Instead, the complaint states, Goebert was told to use the co-ed areas, which required that guests be clothed. Dissatisfied with being denied entry to the area where women were undressed, Goebert complained. The General Manager then issued him a refund and asked him to leave the premises.

According to the legal claim documents, the general manager of King Spa & Sauna is alleged to have failed “to accommodate Complainant so she could use the facilities in accordance with her gender identity.” As compensation, Goebert “requests whatever relief is provided by the law, including, but not limited to, affirmative relief, and compensatory damages for economic loss, humiliation, mental pain and suffering.”

Goebert took to social media to complain about being denied access to areas where women and girls were undressed. In a Facebook post, Goebert suggested he would instead frequent a different facility, Island Spa & Sauna, as an alternative to King Spa. Goebert claims to have reached out directly to Island Spa in one comment, saying, “I have spoken with them personally and they’re trans-welcoming.”

According to admission policies posted on Island Spa’s website, “All guests, including transgender guests, have the right to access the spa in a manner consistent with their gender identity and gender expression.”

The company further implies that any patrons who object to the presence of a man in a women’s section of the spa may be removed from the premises. “We expect all members, regardless of gender identity, to show respect for others so that all members may have a peaceful and pleasant experience.”

“We have a body-positive and accepting environment; respect your fellow bather and help us to create a safe and welcoming environment for guests of all gender, race and body types. Island Spa & Sauna has the right to remove any guest found to be in violation of these policies,” the website states.

Additionally, rules regarding the bathing area explicitly stipulate that nudity is a requirement: “Bathing suits and clothing are not allowed in the bathing area. Traditional Korean Spas require all guests to be fully nude in our gender separated bathhouses.”

A woman who was a regular patron of Island Spa told Reduxx that she, and several of her acquaintances, would no longer visit the sauna out of fear for their privacy and safety. The woman, who has requested to remain anonymous, pointed out that Asian women in particular were “horrified” to learn of the self-identification policy.

“It fills me with dread knowing this fetishist is going to be there and we wouldn’t know when. I am never going there again. I am absolutely concerned about other women and girls. My circle is mainly Asian women and everyone was horrified to hear about it. We won’t be going there now,” she said.

“Why should a naked man be in there with the women at all? We don’t care about his gender identity. He can always use the co-ed section. Why does he want to be where women and girls are naked? The spa is used by teen girls, too.”

Island Spa’s admission policy allows access to children over the age of 10 on a regular basis, and hosts “family days” once per month which permit entry to children under the age of 10 years old.

Goebert’s Instagram profile reveals that he follows a range of fetish-related accounts. 

Among them are women’s lingerie company Honey Birdette and sex toy retailer Wet For Her. Hashtags followed by Goebert include “lesbian”, “boyinadress”, “menindresses”, and the misspelled “nuedisnormal”, which features photos of naked or nearly-naked women, often in sexualized poses.

On Twitter, Goebert has stated that he has not had any genital surgery, and clarified that he has no intention to do so in the future. 

Goebert’s legal claim comes as “gender identity” policies allowing adult men into areas of undress designated for women and children are coming under national scrutiny. This week, news reports circulated revealing that a trans-identified male is facing multiple indecent exposure charges after repeatedly stripping down in the women’s locker room at a YMCA in Xenia, Ohio, including when minors were present.

In January, a young woman became the target of trans activist vitriol after she took to a city council meeting in Santee, California, to report that she had seen a male in the YMCA locker rooms. 17-year-old Rebecca Phillips teared up as she recounted her experience at the January 11 meeting, stating she had seen “a naked male in the women’s locker room.”

Christynne Lili Wrene Wood, 66, announced publicly that he was the man that Phillips had been referring to in her testimony. Reduxx would later find that Wood had a disturbing social media history that included posting photos of little girls he compared himself to.

In 2021, another Korean spa in the United States became a flashpoint for debates on gender ideology after a trans-identified sex offender had been granted access to the women’s facilities. 

Wi Spa, a jimjilbang-style establishment in Los Angeles, California, was the subject of international attention after a video recorded by a female patron went viral on social media. In the video, the woman confronts spa staff because of a nude male who was exposing himself in front of women and girls in the women’s changing room.

The incident was initially dismissed as a “transphobic” hoax by progressive commentators, but would later be verified by police who issued a warrant for the arrest of Darren Agee Merager, a registered sex offender. Merager was arrested in December of 2022.
