Spanberger Refuses To Condemn Male Sex Offender Using Girls’ Locker Rooms

Virginia’s Fairfax County claims there is no “probable cause” to charge Richard Cox, a Tier III registered sex offender, for allegedly exposing himself to women and girls.

Fairfax County’s refusal to charge Cox comes despite an Arlington detective’s testimony that Cox was in possession of child pornography and Fairfax County children’s swim class schedules, Cox’s previous alleged admission of his own compulsions to expose himself, and witnesses claiming that he exposed himself to women and girls in Fairfax County recreation centers’ locker rooms, ABC 7 News’ Nick Minock reported.

Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat candidate for governor in Virginia, did not respond to The Federalist’s inquiry asking whether she believes it is appropriate for males to have access to sensitive female spaces such as bathrooms and locker rooms, and whether she supports allowing men like Cox to use their supposed “transgender” identities to access sensitive women’s and children’s spaces. Spanberger has previously refused to condemn men’s access to sensitive women’s spaces, as reported by The Federalist.

In a statement Friday, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares explained that Cox’s status as a sex offender extends back to the 1990s, and that he was convicted on child pornography charges in 2006. Since then, Miyares noted, Cox has taken advantage of Virginia law that allowed him to change his driver’s license sex description to female, letting him exploit his claimed “transgender” identity and access to female spaces where he allegedly repeatedly exposed himself to women. Cox appealed to this so-called identity in a preliminary hearing in Arlington County Thursday, repeatedly claiming to be a woman and complaining that he was being “misgendered.”

The Fairfax Commonwealth Attorney’s Office “declined to participate in the prosecution of Cox” over a 2024 indecent exposure charge that was eventually dismissed, Miyares said, nor would it prosecute his reported presence near an indoor children’s playground, in violation of his status as a registered sex offender. Miyares attributed Cox’s alleged exposure of himself at an Arlington County high school — testified to in an Arlington County hearing — and other incidents to Fairfax County’s failure to prosecute Cox.

Swiss Man Chooses Jail Over Fine After Conviction for LGBT Comments Online

A Swiss man is choosing prison over paying a fine after courts punished him for comments on social media about biological sex.

Emanuel Brünisholz, who repairs wind instruments in Burgdorf, announced that he will serve 10 days behind bars beginning in December rather than hand over hundreds of francs to the state.

The case began nearly three years ago when Brünisholz replied to a Facebook post by Swiss National Council member Andreas Glarner.

In his response, he wrote: “If you dig up LGBTQI people after 200 years, you’ll only find men and women based on their skeletons. Everything else is a mental illness promoted through the curriculum.”

That remark was quickly flagged by activists, who reported it to police as incitement to hatred under Article 261bis, the country’s anti-discrimination law.

What was once a narrowly tailored rule to stop racist propaganda has, since 2020, been extended to cover “sexual identities.”

According to local media, this expansion opened the door for Brünisholz’s prosecution. On August 15, 2023, local police interrogated him, demanding to know his intent.

When asked what he meant by his post, he answered: “Well, that those who think there’s not just man and woman, I want to tell them that there’s only man and woman.”

As reported by Reduxx, asked about his opinion of the “LGBTQI” community, he said: “Nothing, absolutely nothing. It’s an extremist bunch. They want to silence me.”

Authorities concluded his statement demeaned LGBT individuals and thus violated human dignity.

He was fined 500 Swiss francs, with the penalty convertible into jail time if unpaid. After he contested the order, the Regional Court of Emmental Oberaargau reaffirmed the guilty verdict in December 2023 and added another 600 francs in court fees.

Instead of complying, Brünisholz declared he would not pay. On September 19, 2025, he posted an image of his summons from the Bernese Office of Justice Execution alongside the words: “It’s happening. On December 2, I’m going to prison for 10 days!”

‘Male pitcher’: Minnesota’s transgender radicalism lands state in violation of Title IX

The transgender radicalism in the state of Minnesota, run by Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, has landed the state in violation of federal law.

Officials there have been given 10 days by the Department of Education to comply with the federal Title IX statute or face a Department of Justice referral.

It’s because the state’s transgender agenda that infringes on the rights of girls has allowed a boy to be on a girls’ high school softball team.

The violation notice also confirmed that the state has let males into girls’ alpine skiing, girls’ Nordic skiing, girls’ lacrosse, girls’ track and field and girls’ volleyball teams.

“For too many years, Minnesota’s political leadership has found itself on the wrong side of justice, common sense, and the American people. Now the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League find themselves on the wrong side of Title IX by allowing males to compete in women’s sports,” explained Craig Trainor, the DOE acting assistant secretary of civil rights.

“The Trump Administration will not allow Minnesota or any other state to sacrifice the safety, fair treatment, and dignity of its female students to appease the false idols of radical gender ideology. Once an education program or entity takes federal funds, Title IX compliance becomes mandatory. And the federal government will hold Minnesota accountable until it recognizes that fact.”

The state was allowed 10 days to change its policies to comply with federal law.

A report from Fox News said it also must comply with President Donald Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” order.

The determination of violation came from both the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services.

Schoolchildren as young as 11 are being asked in poll part-funded by taxpayers and Andy Burnham’s office: Are you pansexual?

Children as young as 11 are being asked if they are transgender, non-binary or pansexual in a study part-funded by taxpayers and Andy Burnham’s office.

The #BeeWell survey is a Manchester University project to assess wellbeing in youngsters, covering topics such as mental health, eating habits and engagement with school.

However, the questionnaire distributed to secondary school pupils also asks them about their ‘gender identity’ and sexuality.

The gender options offered are ‘girl (including trans girl); boy (including trans boy); non-binary; not sure; or I describe myself in another way’.

The ‘sexual orientation’ options include bisexual, pansexual, lesbian or heterosexual. Pansexuals feel romantic, emotional or sexual attraction to people of all genders.

In a ‘gender modality’ section, pupils are told: ‘Some young people are transgender. Do you consider yourself to be transgender?’ It explains that this means ‘someone’s gender is different to the one they were assigned at birth’.

The questions were added to the annual survey ‘following feedback from young people’, organisers said. 

It is funded by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), which represents Greater Manchester mayor Mr Burnham plus ten local councils, Manchester University and a number of charities.

States Sue HHS Over Order to Remove ‘Gender Identity’ in K-12 Sex Education

A coalition of 16 states and the District of Columbia is suing the Trump administration to keep materials they say “recognize and affirm gender identity” in their federally funded K-12 sex education programs.

The lawsuit, filed Friday in the U.S. District Court in Oregon, is co-led by the attorneys general of Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington.

At issue is an order from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that prohibits what it calls “gender ideology” in lessons supported by two federal grants: the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) and the Title V Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) program. Both are used to teach teenagers about preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

Citing President Donald Trump’s order that no federal dollar should go into indoctrinating children in “radical, anti-American ideologies,” the HHS in August demanded that 46 states and territories remove references to gender identity from teaching materials or risk penalties, including the suspension or termination of funding. The deadline for them to comply with the conditions is Oct. 27.

“Federal funds will not be used to poison the minds of the next generation or advance dangerous ideological agendas,” Andrew Gradison, acting assistant secretary for HHS’s Administration for Children and Families, said at that time. “The Trump Administration will ensure that PREP reflects the intent of Congress, not the priorities of the left.”

The suing coalition argued that the order violated Congress’s spending power, and that terminating the funding through these programs will result in a loss of at least $35 million and will “harm the very populations Congress intended to help.” The coalition members also argued that compliance would conflict with their own laws and policies requiring “inclusive” sex education curricula.

Sex offender accused of exposing himself in girls’ locker rooms while claiming to be a trans woman

A prolific sex offender is accused of exposing himself to women and children in girls’ locker rooms at public schools and community centers in Virginia while claiming to be a transgender woman.

Richard Cox, a 58-year-old, balding pervert on the highest level of the sex offender registry, appeared in court in Arlington on Thursday and repeatedly insisted he is now a woman and demanded the prosecutor be ordered to stop misgendering him.

However, the judge declined to do so — noting how dozens of horrified witnesses had seen he was physically still a male when he stripped naked and touched himself in local public locker rooms.

In one case, Cox — whose lengthy rap sheet of sex crimes stretches more than 30 years — was accused of spying on women while naked in changing rooms shared by a high school that allows people to use bathrooms based on their chosen gender identity.

One disturbed mother also said she and her 5-year-old daughter went to use a public women’s locker at a school after a swim class when she saw Cox touching himself while nude in a shower stall with the curtain open, WJLA reported.

WI Republican Linked To Explicit Trans Account Was A Trump-Dissing RINO Who Pushed Leftist Election Rules

AWisconsin RINO who appears to have a penchant for “sexually explicit” material — and a connection to a trans porn site — has dropped out of the Badger State governor’s race. 

Whitefish Bay businessman Bill Berrien, who also had a past dalliance with the disastrously kinky election method known as ranked-choice voting, quit Friday following reports linking the candidate to several “sexually explicit accounts” on social media. He apparently connected to said accounts through the platform Medium, where he followed Jiz Lee, a “trans” sex peddler, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported earlier this week. 

Berrien reportedly followed “publications” on Medium such as “Sexography,” which bills itself as “An inclusive place for people to talk about and explore #sexuality from all orientations, cultures, and perspectives.” 

‘Very Intellectually Curious’

Announcing his decision to leave the race, Berrien said his campaign was “gaining traction” until “the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published this week two articles clearly targeted to force me out of the race.”

It’s all a misunderstanding, the former candidate claimed after his connections to many of the “sexually explicit social media accounts” were reportedly scrubbed. He’s a “very intellectually curious” guy. He said he listens to podcasts and is “constantly trying to take in new information, trying to learn something new.” To that end, Berrien said he follows more than 5,000 people across many platforms, subscribes to more than 100 newsletters, and has liked “perhaps 20,000 different articles or postings.” 

“I thought it was a strength to read very widely and show a broad intellectual interest,” Berrien wrote in his farewell. “[T]he media cherry-picked a handful of individuals and written articles that came across my feed that I then followed (without the faintest clue as to an author’s lifestyle choices!) 6 or 7 years ago …”

“Lee, the trans porn star … has been on Medium since 2015 and has 1,500 followers,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Lee only has one post on Medium from 2015 titled “Ethical Porn Starts When We Pay for It,” an article for which Berrien reportedly expressed support on the platform. Lee’s Medium page currently “directs people to [his] personal website,” which is updated “fairly regularly.”

Berrien’s campaign officials confirmed to the Journal Sentinel that the former candidate set up his Medium account in 2018 but used it “rarely” since 2019. However, his spectrum of learning apparently took Berrien to “Polyamory Today,” a forum that celebrates multiple sexual partners, presumably outside their primary relationship. 

On Tuesday, Lee, who “identifies” as nonbinary, posted an angry message on Bluesky above an article on Berrien. 

“It’s okay to follow trans porn stars. It’s okay to read articles about sex and relationships. What’s not okay is the hypocrisy of backing forceful legislation that restricts what people, trans and otherwise, can do with their own bodies. That is shameful,” scolded the porn pusher.

Trans Terrorism Is Rising: The FBI Lacks the Tools to Counter It

Over the past five years, there have been more transgender mass shootings than in the previous two decades. From 2018 to 2025, at least four or five confirmed cases appear consistently across sources, compared to just one case documented before 2018 in The Violence Project database, which tracks incidents back to 1966.

Recent cases include the 2025 Catholic church attack in Minnesota, where a transgender individual killed two children and injured 17, leaving a manifesto threatening to “kill Donald Trump”; the August 2025 Minneapolis school shooting by Robin Westman; the March 2023 Nashville Covenant School shooting by Audrey Hale; the November 2022 Colorado Springs Club Q shooting; the May 2019 Highlands Ranch, Colorado, school shooting; and the September 2018 Aberdeen, Maryland, warehouse shooting. In February 2024, Kyle Benjamin Douglas Calvert, a pansexual nonbinary Antifa sympathizer from Irondale, Alabama, attempted to bomb the state attorney general’s office in Montgomery. The 2025 assassination of Charlie Kirk was not committed by a transgender person, but by a man romantically involved with a transgender individual who subscribed to trans ideology.

Tracking this trend is difficult because federal crime reporting systems do not record gender identity. The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports and Active Shooter documents track age, race, and biological sex, but not whether an offender identifies as transgender. Similarly, the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) categorizes offenders by biological sex, meaning a transgender shooter would typically be reported as male. As a result, there is no centralized, official dataset specifically counting transgender offenders in murders or mass shootings.

Beyond mass shootings, which represent only a small percentage of violence in America, transgender perpetrators are increasingly appearing in violent assaults, though the real numbers are likely higher given the crime data collection problems discussed earlier. On example was in June 2024, Jason Lee Willie, who identifies as a woman and goes by Alexia, was sentenced to one year in prison after pleading guilty to threatening to rape girls in restrooms, carry out school shootings, and bomb churches.

The rise in trans-perpetrated violence, intimidation, and assaults by extreme trans activists is often linked to “Trantifa,” a loosely organized movement of far-left transgender activists associated with Antifa ideology. The name, a portmanteau of “transgender” and “Antifa,” refers to activists who view the United States as systemically racist and oppressive toward trans people, framing laws against gender-related practices as part of a “trans genocide.” Online, an official Trantifa International Facebook and Twitter presence describes itself as “the transgender arm of Antifa.”

Slovakia Passes Constitutional Amendment Recognizing Only 2 Genders

Slovakia passed an amendment to its constitution that recognizes only two genders, along with other measures, through its parliament on Friday.

The amendment, drafted by Prime Minister Robert Fico’s government, required a three-fifths majority to pass, and moved through the National Council with 90 of the 150 members backing it.

It states that Slovakia only recognizes two genders, male and female, and that Bratislava retains its sovereignty in matters of “national identity,” especially in “fundamental cultural-ethical questions.”

It also bans surrogacy and places tighter restrictions on who is eligible to adopt a child, heavily favoring married couples.

Slovakia’s constitution already defined marriage as “a unique union between a man and a woman.”

Parental consent will also now be needed before children can be taught sexual education, and it enshrines equal pay for men and women in the constitution.

Māori women’s rights advocate faces jail over social media posts

Rex Landy, an outspoken Māori women’s rights advocate and member of Mana Wāhine Kōrero, is facing court action under the Harmful Digital Communications Act after being reported to police by a trans activist over her social media posts.

Landy was arrested in December 2024 after complaints from Daniel Johnston, a fantasy author who identifies as female and is known online as “Caitlin Spice.” 

Police first contacted Landy in 2022 and later issued a written warning. “They told me I had to stop saying what I was saying… 

The very next day I received a written warning in the post threatening that they had enough to charge me under the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015.” 

In September 2024, Landy was ordered by the court to delete all posts referencing Johnston. She says she deleted everything but claims she missed two posts. 

On 18 December, she said police raided her home, seized devices, and charged her with failing to obey a court order.

She was given another charge after Johnston claimed she had indirectly referenced him in a livestream. Prosecutors have ruled out diversion, telling the court she was “in the grip of an ideology,” meaning they view her stance as rigid and unchangeable rather than a one-off lapse, and therefore undeserving of leniency. Landy reportedly faces up to three months in jail or a $50,000 fine.

“Win, lose, or draw – he’ll never be a woman. I’ve already won. I’m a woman, he isn’t,” Landy said.
