Reduxx has learned that one of New Zealand’s most prominent trans activists has been sharing disturbing fetish content on social media. Lexie Matheson, who claims to be a “lesbian,” has had a significant influence on national and local policies surrounding gender self-identification and currently competes in women’s sports competitions.
On January 14, New Zealand outlet Stuff positively profiled Matheson in response to an ongoing debate surrounding the admission of men who claim to be transgender into women’s sporting competitions. During the interview, Matheson, who has been involved in women’s karate and has won women’s titles, revealed that he had been using the women’s changing rooms and restrooms for more than twenty years.
Matheson was involved in drafting Sport New Zealand’s “transgender inclusion guiding principles,” which were released in late 2022 and prioritize self-declared “gender identity” over biological sex.
He has also been recognized on a national level, and was an honoree in the 2016 Queen’s Birthday Honours List, where he was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his LGBTQ advocacy. Matheson is also a founding member of Auckland Pride Festival, Inc.
But Reduxx has now located a social media account belonging to Matheson revealing his interest in fetishistic cross dressing, as well as his apparent affinity for an animated pornography genre that involves depictions of children.
In a Pinterest folder titled ‘My Obsessive Stuff,’ Matheson has shared multiple images of “loli” illustrations, which are Japanese animations intended to depict young girls.
