What happens is it gets to a point in the week where I think, gosh, I don't have something for Saturday. And those audio listeners are expecting something on Heretics. And so it is time that I
provide that thing that they expect, which is this. And so what is the news? It doesn't stop these days. And I think really in the role that my role has taken on, the role that my role has taken on is one of having to not only keep my ear close to the ground, see what's what, see what's going on in maybe the culture wars and the political arena and just mad stories and things happening.
But also to write about it now that I have my substack. That's right. That was an inadvertent, because I don't script these at all, but that was an inadvertent plug for Andrew Goldheretics.com. And I've been writing this week about the loop holes that allow pedophiles or pedophiles depending on your accent to just get rid of their criminal records. And this is in many countries
around the world. This is possible, including the UK, including Canada. I would have to check in America, I imagine it depends on the state, but their criminal records can be changed by changing their name and gender. They get a new birth certificate. They are legally obliged to divulge any past criminal doings that were done under their previous name. But there's no way of compelling them to do so. And unfortunately these people are, I'm talking about pedophiles, the ones who have
committed crimes. They are criminals. So it might be in their interest to withhold that information. That's a pretty crazy thing going on. So that's part of the news that I will talk about. Then there's also this whole thing of Josh Citer, who I think was on some sort of reality show. And he's this fellow who has been for some time doing the whole kind of bearded, pretending like a bearded woman kind of thing, like a trans woman. And he's come out and said this was all a prank,
which I think shows the extent to which this is all just nuts anyway. JK Rowling retweeted in, which I think it inspired a vote of inst some level of envy in me. I mean she sort of retweeted a couple of things that have been like mentioning stuff to do with my ex profile. And has also said, yes, yes, I watched it when people have said, oh, you must watch this video that Andrew's done with so and so. So I'm on her radar, but she just won't follow me. She just won't follow me.
And I think she knows that if she did, I would immediately inundate her with invites to be on a podcast. She must get so many invitations to be on podcasts, JK Rowling, and she never does them. And I suppose you get to a point where you feel like, gosh, if you do them, that is a,
you know, it's like giving something of yourself away. And there is a feeling by the way, it's something I was thinking about recently where when you, you know, that feeling, I guess it's an old myth or some sort of, I don't know what it is, but when the photo, when the camera was invented, people felt like their soul was being taken away when photos were taken. And I'm sure some of you have that kind of feeling a little bit, you know, you're out, you're having fun and someone's
like, let's get a photo of you. And it sort of sucks the joy out and you're giving something of yourself to them. And obviously there is that feeling, I'm sure big celebrities have that when they're asked all the time to take another photo, another photo, there was a really cool short film that Kirsten Dunst did where these two women, young girl, young women, recognize her and come over and they just want a selfie with her. And she says, is there anything you'd like to ask me?
Is there anything you want to know? And they're like, no, just the, just the selfie. And it's sort of taking something of your soul. And I suppose one has to be careful when one is in this position of of having a sort of pro, a public profile, you get so used to saying no and declining interviews because you just only have so many hours in the day. And each person must feel like, oh, you think he's too good to even do a one hour interview with me. And you're like, yeah, but you know, I've got
eight hours here in this day to work. Half of that is tending to my dog now, taking her out, making sure she's fed and happy, playing with her. But also spending time with my family, which I almost never do because I live in a different city. And so by the time, you know, the calls have been
made and I've got to see them and all of these things, there's just, you have to live. And if that interview is not going to do well for your, your business, which, which this ultimately is, and it's only going to get like five listens or views or whatever, you've got to make a decision there. And often it's that you can't be doing these things anymore. Obviously, when you start, you do. And this is the weird thing about being a podcaster, I think, because it is one of those careers.
I'm sure many of you have those kinds of things. I often talk about the similarities in being a hairdresser or a therapist where there's that blurred boundary between what is professional and work and what is friendship. When we go on one another's podcast, are we doing one each one on another favors? Are we enjoying each other's company as friends? Or is it more a strategic business
plan because you're going on their podcast, you're going to get lots of views? What if they have a brand new podcast and it's not going to do very well, you know, because it's new, it doesn't yet have an audience, but you know that you can profit long term from the relationship with that person. What I mean is it ends up if you really think about it being bogged down in business stuff. And is there
an enjoyment as well? You speak to one another as though you're friends. I've heard Chris Williams and talk about this feeling of when you've had someone in your podcast, it's like you've had sex with them. And there is that awkward thing going on, by the way. Hang on, let me just check the microphones working. Well, I hope it is. Is that awkward thing of afterwards? You tend to say,
hey, that was great for you. Was that good? Was that good for you? Was that good for me? You know, you're both sort of, there is that weird thing going on, not in a creepy way, but you do have this intimate moment. You have an intimate hour where you were staring into somebody's eyes. And it's not at all sexual. Let me just make that very clear. But it is intimate in a way that, I mean, one was the last time I stared into my father's eyes for an hour or my mom's eyes or my
friend's eyes, even my wife's eyes, just stare into her eyes for an hour. It's a really intimate process. And I know what Chris is saying then when it's like, you know, not just in that intimate sense, but also afterwards like, yep, I've had him, I've had her, she's had me, he's had me, you've had one another on the show, you're collecting one another like Pokemon. And it's a strange thing. But back to my initial point, you do feel like you've given something just like in the photography
example I used, you've given something of your soul. I am doing a podcast as podcast on Saturday, so when this is coming out, when you're listening to this, I am probably in the midst of being interviewed on a podcast. And I know what I don't want to say because I maybe she doesn't want to be, you know, but it's somebody who's young and was on who went to my university and all of that. And she's going to be there. And she's, and it's a, you know, and that's a nice thing. You feel like
you're sort of giving back a bit. But then you also feel like, oh, look at me, this ego-tistical, I'm giving back to the, I'll screw that. So screw that guy being all patronizing like that. But there were people who came on my podcast when I first started, didn't have much of an audience, James Lindsay, Helen Plutcrow's and Peter Begotian were all like that. I think Hen Lewis did very early on. So quite a few of those people gave me a chance before I had any kind of following,
so you feel like you should give back. All of that is to say before I lose my thread that Jacob Rowling must feel all the time that she's being nudged and pulled at. That's not easy to say pulled. Is it pulled? Pulled? It feels that you're being pulled at. And I have that with all kinds of the celebrity friends I have. I don't have any celebrity friends, but the people I know who of notoriety, of celebrity, of fame, who have been in touch, let's say. And you feel like, oh,
God, I've been sort of chatting with this person and that person for a year. And it's really nice. And they actually like the podcast, but every now and then I'm just going to drop in a, yeah, do you want to come on the podcast sometime? And then they say, oh, yeah, let's try and organize that at some point. And then you can't nail down a date. And those people must feel like they're just something of their soul is being taken from them every time they are asked. So it's a tough one.
And Jacob as well has now gone so long. And you get so used to saying no to these kinds of opportunities that then saying yes becomes really big. And I think if she is going to go on a big podcast, if she's going to go in any kind of podcast, I would imagine it would be important to her as a leading feminist that it be a female, a female podcast, a woman's podcast. But I don't know, you know, one can always hope. And I would love to get Jacob rolling on the show, of course.
Anyway, the person who's podcast, I'm going to be going on, oh, maybe I should just give it a shout out, actually, because that's what podcasts are for, isn't it? So her name is Connie Shaw, Connie Shaw, and the podcast is the fringe. And so that, and I don't know if it's some sort of, is it is like a podcast that leads university or is it just a general kind of about wokeism and
identity politics? And one of the nice things, and I know this, this is, I am, I am in dangerous waters here as I, as I say this, but they're big, big only because I am very much anti-woken, anti-identity politics. And I think that anybody should just do what they want to do no matter what and who they are. But this is a woman, a woman podcast, and obviously there are lots of women podcasters, but there are not many in the cultural war space on this side of the argument.
So that's always something that I do want to promote. Even though I do fervently believe it shouldn't really matter what sex you are, what this you are, what that you are, it's nice to encourage a bit of difference and a bit of change and a bit of a mix. So we're not all just blokey, blokey blokes. So good on her for doing that. And one of the things, I mean, when I was at Leeds Uni, and I think she's going to be asking me about this kind of thing, but I think it was,
I wasn't very political as a teenager at university. And I realize now that that in itself is political, obviously, because a lot of my friends were being very political. And the reason I wasn't, wasn't just an apathy that many teenagers have. I mean, that was part of it. But it was also the things that they were all for didn't make sense to me. They seemed to, I don't think I knew words like virtue signaling. I didn't know about all of that. So it just seemed a little what I might have
called try hard or showing off or stupid, not very nuanced. I don't know, but I didn't know enough about politics. So a lot of my friends, this was back when student fees were being pushed up to 9,000 pounds a year, which is a lot. It's not compared to America, but it's a lot. And it was 3,000 when I was there. And suddenly everyone was rushing down to London to do these big protests against the evil governments. And I just thought, well, there must be a reason. I don't want to sound naive,
but there must be a reason they're putting the money up. Obviously, they need it. And they have to get a certain amount of money. And they have to take it from somewhere. And with the students, we get student loans. And the student loan doesn't kick in until we earn over a certain amount. Now, that doesn't mean that it's not a detriment, that it's not annoying and frustrating. It is to many of us who still have to pay, including myself, have to pay our student loans. And it comes out,
and there is interest. And it comes out of your wages. It's a tax, an additional tax. And it's very frustrating. But it enabled me to get what was for me for years of studies, of living costs, and things like that. And I had a wonderful time. And it helped shape who I am. So I see that as like, OK, obviously, if it was 9,000, it would, I'd owe even more. And it would be a lot. Oh, I love these guys. Make this full the tastiest season yet with farm, fresh produce,

But it seems like okay, well that's one way of getting the money by raising the fees or another way would be to take money away from pensioners as they're doing now and take away their heating and things like that. By all means go and argue and debate about the cost of student fees and things like that. But don't frame it like it's some kind of heroic virtue signaling move. It's really quite selfish. It's something that you relate to.
Whether this affects you in the following year or not or it affects you or younger sibling or you know this is something that you relate to whereas money for pensioners for example you don't relate to. And that seemed really clear to me. Like you're going down to protest for something that is very much your cause. What bothered me at the time was the feeling that they didn't see it as their own cause. They saw it as some kind of we're doing this for the rights of everybody.
And that was probably the first time I felt myself moving away from what later became known as as woke culture. And anyway I'm thinking about all that because I know that Connie is going to ask me about that in her podcast The Fringe. But also because I shared a tweet the other day that's that clip of you can't handle the truth. You can't handle the truth that Jack Nicholson says to Tom Cruise in a few good men. And I wrote I was 19 when this speech made me realize
wokeness and its previous incarnations is cowardly and hypocritical. Do you remember the moment it became clear to you? So I wonder what you guys think was there a moment and there often is or was where suddenly everything that seemed like that we're doing the right thing was like oh maybe that's not the right thing. Maybe that's actually the easy simple thing. It doesn't mean you go right wing and you go the other side and start hating everybody but you start to understand
that things are complicated. I wonder if I can play this clip because I don't think that the copyright thing is an issue really and it's a shortage clip. But what I don't want to do is give my editor extra work and say oh make sure the clip goes in at this point because that's a pullover as well. So I'm going to see if I can get the speaker over to the microphone. I mean I started this podcast four or five years ago with like I had like cello taped things.
Every like I had a little microphone cello taped to the table and I had to sort of bend down and I had a webcam that was also cello taped to a kind of ring light that was worth about five pounds and even that felt like a lot a lot of money back then when I was starting out. But let's see can I can I get this going let's see let's see. You're on her like to ask for a recess. I like an answer to the question judge. The court will wait for an answer.
If Lieutenant Kendrick gave an order that Santiago wasn't to be touched and why did he have to be transferred Colonel Lieutenant Kendrick ordered the code red didn't he because that's what you told Lieutenant Kendrick to do. I'm jammed when you went bad you'll cut these guys loose. You're on her. You're on her. You're on her. You doctor the law book. Then I can't. You're seducing yourself in your 10. Colonel Joseph did you order the code red?
You don't have to answer that question. I'll answer the question. You want answers? I think I'm entitled. You want answers. What the truth you can't handle the truth. Son we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's going to do it? You you lieutenant Weinberg. I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom.
You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know that Santiago's death wall tragic probably saved lives and my existence while grotesque and incomprehensible to you saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties. You want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent
defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time or the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then quest into the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand opposed. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to. Did you order the code red?
I did the job. Did you order the code red? I did. I probably should have explained before if anyone who's not seen that film actually what that was all about. Otherwise, that's not my... Yeah, that's Speaker of Pedaway. Yeah, that's Jack Nockerson and Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise is the lawyer and it's a funny one because for years when I was younger I think when I first watched that, I mean, Jack Nockerson is very much made out to be the baddie. He is the head of the army
or something like that or some sort of head of military, I don't know. And because of the brutal ways that he gets his soldiers or whatever to do their soldier stuff, some kid died and was bullied actually and he let it happen on his watch and he lets those kinds of things happen. There is no doubt, I mean, even rewatching it now from an anti-work perspective, he is very much a villain in this by letting that happen. And this was what sparked a load of debate. I mean, I put this out
last night at the time. I mean, this is the next morning that I'm doing this recording and it's got 400,000 views on Twitter or X, which is quite a lot because it sparked a big debate that made it go viral because a lot of people were saying, oh, right, you like that speech, but he's the baddie,
so you're a baddie. I mean, they said it in different ways, but a lot of woke people got involved saying that and then a lot of people came and said, you know, agreed with the reality here is, of course, he is the bad guy, but what is lost on woke people watching that film and it's sad that they lose this because they lose the beauty of it is that Tom Cruise is also a bad guy in this. I mean, Tom Cruise is this clean cuts very 1980s, 1990s kind of hero role of the lawyer.
I remember watching it again and going, well, he's sexist in a really snarky, horrible way. He's snarky and competitive and not very nice the whole way through and he's just utterly smug and self-righteous and virtuous. And so those are the two sides and neither of them is perfect and the villain, Jack Nockerson, in allowing those horrible things to happen, allowing a soldier to die is just absolutely horrific. However, that bit he says about, by the way, the bit where he says,
who's going to help us? What about you, Lieutenant Weinberg? And I imagine this sort of family guy joke about a sort of Jewish looking fellow going, me? Why am I? Because I don't even know who Lieutenant Weinberg was in this film. Why am I? Why are you picking on me? I don't know who Lieutenant Weinberg is that he has to go out. Maybe someone who knows the film better than I do will better remember who Lieutenant Weinberg was. I'm sure I could just look it up.
But that thing of, you know, basically, I'm the guy, you don't want to talk about in parties or dealing, right? But I'm the guy who has to come up here and risk my popularity, get people saying horrible things about me and to do ugly things, but I keep you safe.
And that is at the crux of every cultural argument that is absolute here. There's a group of people who maybe do awful things and they don't deserve a free ride for that, but who very much believe that sometimes awful people need to be in charge to do what nobody else wants to do. And there's a group of people who live in like Kuku Land, who just don't seem to understand
that entities such as Hamas, for example, want us dead. And that if we don't have strong people in charge who maybe have terrible morals, who maybe let people die, who maybe do awful things never do, but I'm sure as hell, those people exist. For that reason, I mean, I think, I mean, I can't vote in an American election, but I never thought I'd say this a few years ago, but I think I would probably, if I were American, I would vote for Trump. And not even begrudgingly
now. And I think what really changed it for me was listening to what a translator said about Trump recently. There was, it was actually a couple of African American guys who acted as translators for Trump talking to, I think it was the head of the Taliban. And they tell this story of how Trump sat there and said, right, we might withdraw from Afghanistan, we might not, I don't know, whatever, but you are not going to touch a hair on the head of any American going forward. And
here's why I know that. And he pushed something forward. And it was pictures of the Taliban leaders house, his home, his family, all of those things. And the next two years, not another American was touched. And like, I don't know the full validity of that, but I know that that is what Trump stands for. He might be a psychopath. He might be morally bankrupt. He might have, it might be true, all the allegations about things he has done to women over the years. None of this makes me like him,
although he is very funny as well. And I do find myself laughing, watching his ridiculous the things he says in his takedowns and things. They are quite funny. But I don't think, oh, what a lovely nice guy. I do think this is probably the kind of strong leader that you need in charge. And I don't think it's a coincidence that in his time in charge, there were very few walls. The world was a much safer place. And almost immediately upon him no longer being in charge,
it completely derailed and fell apart. I saw a video of him recently having a go at the Germans and saying, you know, you Germans have been giving money to Russia and that's not okay. And I thought, can I imagine Kamala Harris standing up to the Germans or whatever, or the Brits or any country who's done that kind of thing and really putting them in their place in the way that Trump did?
So I think Trump epitomizes everything that is not woke. And that means that he might do nasty things and he does do really nasty things and has done some morally repugnant things over the years or at least is accused of doing so. And yet having him in charge is, I think, the safest to possible. I mean, he totally, the way he handled career, the way he was handling the Middle East, Russia and Ukraine, everything was much quieter. Now, it could be that Trump gets in and everything
goes to pot and I improved wrong in a few years. And there's also only so much a president can do. Right? They can do quite a lot. But if there's going to be war, there's going to be war. So I don't mean to blame Biden entirely for all of the wars that have taken place since Trump left office. It might all just be coincidence. But I do think that this is something at least to consider and that having a strong Jack Knokerson-like character in charge doesn't mean you have to like him.
You don't have to vote for who you like. But I do think it is the safest option for us. And right now it does seem like I know everyone's worried about climate change. I'm worried about this and that it feels like the biggest worry really is World War III. I don't know how Israel and Palestine work this out. I don't know how the Middle East gets worked out. I don't think it's possible to be worked out. It is such a shit show. So I think just having a strong person in charge at the top of
America is just enough to maybe calm things and make people think twice on both sides. So that's what I think about that. But I don't know when was the moment for you? I mean for me it was watching that film. I was about 19 or 20 years old. I was starting to question and go why all these guys are showing off that they're so great because they want to they want to lower the cost of themselves going to university. They want to go to university for free and get everything for free.
Why is that virtuous? I didn't quite understand it and I watched that film and everything that Jack Nicholson said there about the safety of your own whatever. I'm the thing you don't want to talk about at dinner parties. I thought wow that is truth at least. And truth is important and it's a quality that is lost on the on the idealistic youth at the same time as suppose you could say
don't you want your youth to be idealistic to an extent even in just for a few years. Even if they just have a few years of being utopian and idealistic you can't go get to the stage, get a thumb bugs that I mean it's been like 10 years now where she is just perpetuating this kind of omnicles of the climate and quiz for Palestine and all of these kinds of things. I've got an episode out next week with Maya Poet that's her sort of stage name if you will. It's so good.
She is so good. It's going to be it's one of the best episodes we've had. I think one of the best interviews I've done because she thought she was turning trans and so she went to Israel and then they people in extreme Muslim communities there and people in extreme Jewish communities don't see gender the same way. They can't recognize that she clearly is a butch lesbian because they don't know what that is. And so they assume she was a man and from that moment she just went
about being a man wearing a binder throughout the day and she could have been killed. She was just like hanging out with extreme Muslims and Orthodox Jews pretending to be a bloke. Pretty bauzy and then she was supposed to go to the Nova festival on October 7th and last minute her ride cancelled or something and she didn't but many of her friends were killed which is horrific. I mean
what a story just absolutely incredible. And so I think she's a great example of somebody who just had that idealism of youth and as she got a little bit older came to realize it was all nonsense but maybe it can inspire beautiful interesting things as it sort of did in her journey. I mean what a journey she has. So I wouldn't want to necessarily get rid of all that kind of youthful
optimism and idealism. I just sort of wish kids could be taught at school as a priority that there are many things that they will think in their lives that will feel 100% virtuous and righteous that will actually seem to other people quite the opposite.

Being with Finch. I was in some fairy tale. I was like I write for Grace Anatomy. I was like what? Her writing was so highly regarded because Finch had been through so much.
A Hollywood writer's life. When you love somebody, you're no red flags that are hitting in the head. Filled with fiction. She would do whatever it takes to get ahead. She saw a life like a TV series. I don't know my wife is Anatomy of Lies. Streaming October 15th only on peacock. It's all a lie. The other topic I've been looking into of course was that the recent episode with Kerry Lee Galvin, whose father, Clive Bundy, is a pedophile and was abusing her childhood. She's been telling me
more about what we call the DBS checks, criminal records and things like this. It really does appear that there is this crazy loophole in the UK and also in other countries. I've seen it in Canada. I don't know about the individual states in the states where people, I mean, I just can't believe
this is true but it does appear to be true. You can change your name. You get a brand new birth certificate as well to do this with your trans. Then from that, you no longer have your criminal record and people have quite angry at me for writing about this because I wrote about it on Androidgoldheretics.com and people are saying, no, that's not the case. You still have to give in your prior convictions and those kinds of things. Well, not really. No, you don't. I mean,
you are compelled to do so. It is a criminal offense not to do so, not to divulge that you've with your new name that you had other criminal convictions under your old name. But there's no way of enforcing that. We've lost more than 700 pedophiles in a two-year period between 2019 and 2021. The last two years, I don't have the data for that. But it means that 300 or 400 pedophiles are going missing every year because they change their names for the records and this is easier to do
when they change to trans and get a brand new birth certificate. Now, this guy Clive Bundy completely fucked up because he was trying to be cool. He was trying to troll Clare Fox who is an advocate for free speech and a heroic person, I would say, and he wanted to troll her. So gave himself the name Clare Fox, which made national headlines. And now everybody knows that Clive Bundy is Clare Fox and is
therefore the pedophile. But still, you know, he has been spotted many times hanging around libraries or sorts of things and there's not much that people can do about it. And that's awful. That's awful. And it seems like something that everybody or 99% of society, I guess everybody who's not a pedophile would be in favor, well, I suppose apart from trans rights activists, would be in favor of making this harder to do or making it impossible to do, not eradicating your former name. It has to
still be there. You change your name fine, but it still has, it should be there in your records. Surely, even if only the DBS can see it or there should be some kind of you want a new name, okay, when that happens, your old name automatically transfers over all the convictions, but it doesn't. And it just seems like something that would be so easy to implement. So this is the article, I'm going to read out the article that I wrote on Andrew Gold Heretics.com, I wrote two of these
a week that go straight to people's emails. It is titled The Pidos Turning Trans to Hide Their Past. We've lost the identities of nearly 1000 pedophiles with new birth certificates. When Kerry Lee Galvin's abusive, incestuous father, Clive Bundy was arrested, she thought her nightmare was finally over. Little did she know that it would take a brutal and dystopian turn. What he did to his daughter continuously, even involving other pedophiles, merits a life sentence.
I'm not for the death penalty because I worry it could be misused, but I see no reason not to employ it with Clive. I don't say that with hyperbole, I'll be intrigued to hear the argument against it. Given the depravity of his crimes and the danger to others who come across him, he has given up his rights to life, and yet we have afforded him an extraordinary
reprieve, a blank slate unavailable to 99.9% of the population. He was supposed to face at least 10 years behind bars, but after serving just five, the victim, the A's and Officer, contacted Kerry Lee to tell her they were considering letting him loose. What followed was the most bizarre and painful phone call of her life. I was like, what do you mean she told me? I was in shock,
but that was nothing compared to what followed. Just to let you know, I did the victim liaison officer nonchalantly, he's given us permission for you to know that he's now Clive Fox, he's a woman. That must have been a shock, I replied. Not to the liaison officer, to whom this was apparently banal. Perhaps they're used to monstrous, incestuous pedophiles declaring, deciding that they are women in prison. It was like she was telling me what she had for breakfast,
said Kerry Lee. Before I get into the absurdity of the situation and the dangers it causes to children, I want to press a point we must not lose sight of amid the madness. The conversations between a victim liaison officer and a victim such as Kerry Lee should be handled with extreme care. They are sacred. The victim has a right to expect support, understanding and as a minimum requirement, honesty. But they told her that the man, her father, who used his male appendage to do to her the
most brutal thing imaginable, is a woman. This is a cruel and unforgivable lie. These are the people and systems we put in place to protect our most vulnerable. Think of that. A common fallacious argument about trans, one repeated by trans rights activist Peter Tachel when he was on heretics is that gender realists are trying to take rights away from trans people. Trans rights are human rights goes the motto, although nobody explains which human rights trans people lack.
The opposite is true. Trans activists are seeking and getting extra rights for those who say that they are the opposite sex. For example, Clive received a wig and makeup at taxpayer expense. This is not available to actual women in our prisons. Clive was then segregated from the rest of the prisoners treated with extra compassion and kindness and from what Kerry Lee has gathered, able to put out the story that he only did what he did, the horrendous crimes against his own daughter,
because he was struggling with his gender identity. That's right, Clive is the real victim here, and it's believed to have led to his early release. Worse still is that Clive changed his name to Claire Foxx, the name of a prominent free speech advocate, in the clearest example of trolling since Roxy Tickle, who successfully took my former guest, Sal Grover, to court for access to her women only at App Giggle. These men are taking the piss, or perhaps they're not, perhaps,
well, quite certainly, these men are mentally ill. Either way, this is the exploitation of lax, gender laws that Tatchel told me does not happen. But despite the trolling and madness, this is very real and serious. Not only for Kerry Lee, but for children across the UK. That's because people claim that they are trans can get a brand new birth certificate. This is shocking.
Not enough people are aware of this despite the ongoing heroic efforts by the likes of my former guest Dr. Kate Coleman of Keep Prisons, single sex, who have passionately, passionately, I should say, rallied against this madness for years. With a new birth certificate, sex offenders who say they are trans can have their criminal record wiped. Actually, it's not wiped. It just isn't.
There is simply no trace of criminal behaviour before their name change. It is a criminal offense not to make the disclosure and barring service aware of crimes committed in a former name or gender. But doing so wouldn't make the top thousand in the crimes that Clive was willing to commit. So what would incentivize him to divulge his history? We are asking pedophiles to be honest about their crimes. Does no one see the problem with that? This is why Clive, Kerry Lee tells
me, has been seen hanging around children in libraries multiple times. His access to children would likely be cut off if he were honest on his DBS record. This takes us back to the nature of trans ideology, which is at its core the pursuit of extra rights. You won't then be surprised to learn that this same loophole cannot be exploited by non-trans people who change their name. They don't have this right. We have a situation whereby a monstrous pedophile can wipe his history by
changing his name. The old one no longer exists because he says he is trans. But his victim, Kerry Lee Galvin, who changed her surname to escape her rapist, cannot do the same. She is forced to relive his ordeal whenever employers check on her and ask why she changed her name. This is far from a one-off. Police in the UK lost 729 sex offenders between 2019 and 2021,
simply because they changed their names. Nor is this a quirk of the UK. The most shocking case I've come across is that of a violent man called Adam Laboukong who did unspeakable things to a three-month-old baby in Canada. They moved him to a mother and baby ward after he came out as trans. The dangerous predator is now in wards with mothers and children up to the age of 7. Inmates reported to Redux that Laboukong consistently menaces the mothers by making suggestive comments
and staring at their children. Just a couple of months ago a Spanish man in Seville called Antonio Luis B.R. avoided a 15-month prison sentence for gender violence by changing his gender. Although the woman took out a restraining order against Antonio Luis he continued to stalk Harass and psychologically torture her. He or she as our authorities expect us to refer to him is free to continue harassing his victim. You couldn't make it up but our law makers did.
All we can do is continue the brilliant work of Kate Coleman and the brave gender realists who risked everything to push against this. So share this message and let people know that it is not okay.
