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.
vice.com/en/article/k7w…
"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.
france24.com/en/live-news/2…
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."

This is a post for the GC nerds. I know that many people won't understand, but I have to say: I don't want to have anything to do with Jennifer Bilek.

It wasn't an easy conclusion to come to. In short, she's been a part of a bullying campaign against me, in addition to praising the conspiracy theorist David Icke, and borrowing her main talking points from feminists - while now taking on an anti-feminist angle.

The bullying started before this, but, as it often happens, I didn't let myself recognize it at the beginning.

This is not an easy read, I understand, and I'm open to questions or dialogue though I'd much prefer if you'd at least take a glance at this before commenting.

I really dislike doing this, there's no joy in it, but I have been treated badly and I have to stand up for myself and say, I'm done.

I'm grateful to my friend @DonovanCleckley for putting this together.

I'm not the only one to have noticed.
But I've been putting up with something I shouldn't.

The Wiki category for "transgender" serial killers was deleted in 2019, and since then, male serial killers who dress up in lingerie, strangle women with stockings, or dismember female victims are classified as "female" Image
Here are Wikipedia editors arguing about how to deal with "TERFs," or specifically, historical feminists who don't believe that men can be women.

Julia Frost:
"Can we edit to get rid of the TERFs though? They're not feminists, they're a hate group.

Natacha Kennedy (trans-identified male)
"We could try... I would suggest putting transfeminists in first and then raising hell if the TERFs try to delete. Then we quietly delete the non-feminists like Raymond and Jeffreys later."Image

Once again for the newcomers: gender identity ideology does not come from feminism. It was not created suddenly by Judith Butler in the 90's.

It comes entirely from the convergence between sexology and psychiatry.
Gender ideology was pioneered by sexologists and especially men sympathetic to pedophilia.

Sex offender treatment programs spearheaded "gender-affirming care" via chemical castration for pedophiles. That chemical castration treatment is now promoted to minors as "puberty blockers". A pedophile's dream come true.

The idea that sex itself is a social construct dates back to the 1960s, and was promoted by John Money, who encouraged the use of pornography - even among children - to develop one's gender identity. John Money forced children to act out "copulation play" and photographed them, and advocated for sexual relationships between adult men and children.

Gender identity ideology is the philosophy of porn and BDSM. It is quite literally the belief that sexual roles determine one's sex, and it normalizes dangerous sexual pathologies by turning them into a protected "identity".Image

Women in US prisons are still waiting for trans-identified male convicts to be transferred out. I have heard from incarcerated women saying that state officials feel they can ignore the Trump administration's executive orders.

Therefore, I am sharing several stories reported by @ReduxxMag about the US prison situation within the past three years.

To begin with, in 2022, I spoke to inmate Miseka Diggs, who was incarcerated in New Jersey at Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women.

She told me the women were "scared to death" of the male transfers.

“It is like you are living in an abusive situation. I have anxiety that I never knew about,” said Diggs. She explained that she had been visiting the mental health services to address the ways in which the presence of violent men in the women’s facility was bringing up her own feelings related to her past.

The following month, a second female inmate at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women told @ReduxxMag of the hardships survivors of sexual trauma like herself endured since the arrival of trans-identified male convicts.

“In my 23 years of incarceration here at Edna Mahan… I’ve never seen anything like the traumatic damage that’s been going on.”

Dawn Jackson had been the victim of repeat incestual abuse by the men in her family from the age of 5, some of which was so severe it resulted in her having damaged vaginal and rectal tissue, and required her to re-learn how to go to the bathroom as a child.

We learned that one of the very first men transferred into New Jersey's only women's prison was a sadistically violent rapist and killer named Perry Cerf.

Cerf had undergone genital surgery and calls himself Michelle Hel-loki Angelina.

He was convicted for the brutal rape and murder of 47-year-old Ecuadorian immigrant Flor Andrade in 2002, and was arrested while wearing his victim’s clothes. He was found utilizing her identification with his photo superimposed over hers.

While awaiting trial, Cerf penned a letter to The New York Daily News confessing to the crime and boasted about drinking the woman’s blood.

His letter continued: “Since I have a most unusual taste for blood, I drank and licked and lapped up my fill … Let it be known: I am Lucifer’s Maiden servant, sent to earth born of sin, to bring suffering and pain, darkness and evil.”

Once again, for the people (most people) who don't understand how the surrogacy process works:

Women are pumped full of hormonally disruptive drugs, such as Lupron, to control their natural cycle. The goal is to control her reproductive function completely.

These drugs are very powerful and some have previously been used to treat end-stage cancer.

There is a strategic refusal to conduct long-term follow-up research on the impact of drugs used in the surrogacy process on the health of the women and children involved.

There is plentiful anecdotal evidence suggesting these drugs lead to reproductive cancers later on.

Women who have acted as "surrogates" have reported developing breast cancer and uterine cancer some years afterwards.

The lack of medical research means:

1) women are being lied to by omission about health risks;

2) therefore 'informed consent' does not exist for the mother, and certainly never can for the child;

3) surrogacy is industrial medical experimentation on women and infants for profit.

This is an extreme human rights violation and all appearances of consent are fabricated through deliberate obfuscation of adverse health risks.Image
BY THE WAY
The same process of refusing to conduct medical research was done by the breast implant industry.
The only study done before implants were placed in women's bodies was conducted on ONE DOG.
The implants were removed from the dog two weeks later.
For over three decades in the US silicone injections and breast implants were sold to women - many of whom developed brain cancer, or breast cancer, or died as a direct result - and not a single peer-reviewed study was released during that time.

Let's go through a few articles from @ReduxxMag about men who have turned out to be violent and / or sexual predators who have harassed @jk_rowling, starting with the most recent - Stephen Ireland, who raped a 12 year-old boy. Image
There's also Alexander Secker, who called himself Lexi Bowen.

Secker repeatedly mocked women critical of gender identity ideology online, including JK Rowling, and advocated against female-only rape crisis centers.

He was found guilty of rape.
reduxx.info/exclusive-deta…Image
In 2022, @jk_rowling stood up for Reduxx contributors when we were targeted and threatened by convicted child murderer Luis Morales, better known as Synthia China Blast.

She was then hounded by trans activists.

Reduxx reported that Blast had been discharged from his parole without notice, and our team was sent multiple death threats and images of meat in a grinder, with Blast expressing a desire to murder women on our team.
