The military coup in Myanmar, led by men, ousted female leader Aung San Suu Kyi & began collaborating with male management at factories to quash women-led workers' unions.
The garment industry is worth $6 billion nationally; women are 90% of its workforce.

"A majority of the factory managers are men", a trend seen across sweatshop / garment factories in Asia.

They prefer to employ women, paying them a pittance ($3.40 / day) for long working hours, and are known to sexually assault the female workers.

Women garment workers have been at the forefront of protests against the military coup in Myanmar.

The sexual politics of the junta's takeover are impossible to miss: it occurred as the women's labor movement had begun to make gains.
"Fear of rape and robbery are common amongst garment workers, who work long shifts and have to travel during hours of darkness. Women also reported that they suffer from depression, largely as a result of long working hours and poor working conditions."

The minimum wage in the garment sector in Myanmar is about $65 per month.
Union leaders and labour rights activists representing the country’s 90% female workforce have been central voices in the civil disobedience movement that emerged following the coup.

In May, the junta sentenced 28 people to 20 years in prison for attacks on factories.
Some suspect the military instigated attacks on the factories to justify imposing martial law.
The fires broke out after five garment workers were killed by the military.

Since the army’s takeover, at least 1,300 protesters and bystanders have been killed, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) @aapp_burma
aljazeera.com/news/2021/12/2…
In 2011 a ban on labor unions was dropped; in 2012 collective bargaining was legalized.
Ma Moe Sandar Myint, of the Federation of Garment Workers:
"Eight or nine years ago, strikes were led by men. Employers decided to not hire male workers at high rates."

Happy #Pride. Let's look at some activists who have been convicted of rape, child sexual abuse, and sex trafficking.

Stephen Ireland of Pride in Surrey raped a 12 year-old boy.

The court was told how both Ireland and his partner, David Sutton, referred to themselves as “pedos” who fantasize about “pump[ing] children full of estrogen” and “get[ting] their vocal cords snipped.”

In one message, Ireland, who is HIV positive, stated about a child, “If we breed him now, he’ll be [HIV positive] in 6-8 weeks.”

Yin Yeung Derek Chan pleaded guilty to secretly recording hundreds of women and girls in public spaces over a period of six years. The court heard that his crimes escalated over time, and that he had been publishing the content online.

Chan's voyeur pornography attracted more than a million views. While a website he used to share these videos has been taken down, many are still available online.

Police determined that 64 of Chan's victims appear to be under the age of 18.

Thousands of photos and more than 28 hours of video were obtained by Saanich police in a search of Chan's house.

He had filmed hundreds of victims without their knowledge, which the court heard was for his own sexual pleasure.

Those images show women and children secretly filmed over six years at gyms, on the street, at the beach, in stores, at swimming pools, and through the windows of their own homes across Greater Victoria, said the judge.

About 90 per cent of the images were filmed up the skirts of victims, she said, while others were shot from above or below the partition in retail changing rooms. Still more were filmed while victims were sunbathing, in some cases without clothes.

In addition to the images, police found "thousands" of pairs of women's underwear and bras in a search of Chan's home.

He was caught shoplifting women's underwear in 2014. In 2019, he was convicted of secretly recording in the changing room of a Forever 21 store.

The judge referenced a young girl — one of 16 people who submitted victim impact statements — who wrote that she felt "violated, exposed, and powerless."

She wrote that her mental and emotional well-being has suffered, along with her grades and ability to work.

Chan was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison.Image

Derek Beard appeared in Lynchburg General District Court accused of placing hidden cameras in the women's changing rooms in several locations around the city.

"The Commonwealth said so far, they’ve recovered 387 videos showing people inside changing rooms and public restrooms, and about one-third of those videos involve minors."

"Prosecutors said this investigation goes far beyond a single store. In addition to Dick’s Sporting Goods, they said Beard secretly recorded people at multiple locations across Lynchburg, including TJ Maxx, Kohl’s, Target, Plato's Closet, Mission Thrift, the Muse Coffee Company, and Millie’s Living Cafe.

The department's Victim Identification Form also lists Walmart, Goodwill and The Inspiration Co. as potential locations. Officials said they believe this has been happening for the past year."Image

The origin of the "transgender" movement goes back several decades before Judith Butler's book "Gender Trouble," published in 1990.

The "trans" movement originated with sexologists and their partnerships with fetishists.

Virginia Prince, born Arnold Lowman, who popularized the term "transgender," said he got erections while imagining himself as a "girl".

He worked with the American Psychiatric Association to destigmatize transvestic fetishism by reframing sexual pathology as "identity."

It is the APA that is largely to blame for the "transgender" social contagion. Unlike the esoteric ramblings of academic queer theorists, the APA actively influences medical protocols, and by extension the WHO and the UN.

The idea that sex is a social construct dates back to the 1960s, and was pioneered by sexologist John Money.

Dr. Money forced children to act out "copulation play" while he photographed them, and advocated for sexual relationships between adult men and children.
Image
The word "gender" rose in usage after 1980, the year that the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III) was published by the American Psychiatric Association.

The word "gender" does not appear even once in the DSM-II. The DSM-III, however, included for the first time the concept of "gender identity" in the manual, which is published, for profit, by the APA.

Gender identity disorder is classified as a psychosexual disorder in the DSM-III. Several notable sexologists were on the committee overseeing the addition of "gender identity disorder" into the DSM.

Among them was pedophile apologist John Money, who devoted his life to promoting the idea that sex is socially constructed, and who attempted to convince a young boy that he was really a girl.

Money would force David Reimer - who he called "Brenda" - to engage in "copulation play" from the age of about 6 years old with his twin brother Brian. Money photographed the children in sexual positions together, and to this day is cited by NAMBLA.Image

Women are being punished for saying that men are never women. The legal fiction of "gender identity" is used to take away women's rights and to allow predatory men to enter spaces where women and children are vulnerable.

Gender identity laws protect sex offenders and fetishists while dragging women through the courts and publicly shaming them as "bigots."

NEW ZEALAND

A Māori women’s rights advocate in New Zealand is facing prison time after being reported to police by a trans-identified male for her social media posts. Rex Landy, a member of Mana Wāhine Kōrero, was arrested in December of 2024 after being targeted by a trans activist who took issue with her online commentary.

BRAZIL

Isabella Cêpa first came under criminal investigation after she made a social media post about Erika Hilton – a male politician who “identifies” as a woman.

Hilton was elected to São Paulo’s municipal government in November of 2020, winning his seat by a landslide that gave him the title of the most voted-for ‘woman’ in Brazil.

Cêpa was charged with five counts of “social racism” for referring to him as a man. She was facing up to 25 years in prison for the supposed “crime.”

Transvestites are men with a sexual pathology that escalates towards public predation.

Transgenderism is an attempt to rebrand their behavior by including women and children under a more "inclusive" term, thereby providing cover for male fetishes that overlap with pedophilia.

New Zealand's most prominent "trans woman," Lexie Matheson, who claims to be a "lesbian," has had a significant influence on national and local policies surrounding gender self-identification and has been competing in women’s sports competitions.

In a Pinterest folder titled 'My Obsessive Stuff,' Matheson shared "loli" illustrations of young girls, and lesbian pulp erotica book covers, some of which show schoolgirls engaged in sadomasochistic bondage.
Matheson, who has been involved in women's karate and has won women's titles, revealed in a recent interview that he has been using the women's changing rooms and restrooms for more than twenty years. Image
Matheson 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. Image
