A transgender girl accused of assaulting two students at a Texas high school alleges that she was being bullied and was merely fighting back

Shocking video shows a student identified by police as Travez Perry violently punching, kicking and stomping on a girl in the hallway of Tomball High School.

The female student was transported to the hospital along with a male student, whom Perry allegedly kicked in the face and knocked unconscious.

According to the police report, Perry - who goes by 'Millie' - told officers that the victim has been bullying her and had posted a photo of her on social media with a negative comment.

One Tomball High School parent whose daughter knows Perry said that the 18-year-old had been the target of a death threat.

'From what my daughter has said that the girl that was the bully had posted a picture of Millie saying people like this should die,' the mother, who asked not to be identified by name, told DailyMail.com.

When Perry appeared in court on assault charges, her attorney told a judge that the teen has been undergoing a difficult transition from male to female and that: 'There's more to this story than meets the eye.'

Perry is currently out on bond, according to authorities.

The video of the altercation sparked a widespread debate on social media as some claim Perry was justified in standing up to her alleged bullies and others condemn her use of violence.

The mother who spoke with DailyMail.com has been one of Millie's most ardent defenders on Facebook.

'I do not condone violence at all. But situations like this show that people now a days, not just kids, think they can post what they want. Or say what they want without thinking of who they are hurting,' she said.

'Nobody knows what Millie has gone through, and this could have just been a final straw for her. That is all speculation of course because I don't personally know her or her family, but as a parent and someone who is part of the LGBTQ community this girl needs help and support, not grown men online talking about her private parts and shaming and mocking her.'

One Facebook commenter summed up the views of many, writing: 'This was brutal, and severe! I was bullied for years and never attacked anyone!'

Multiple commenters rejected the gender transition defense and classified the attack as a male senselessly beating a female.

One woman wrote on Facebook: 'This person will get off because they're transitioning. This is an animal. She kicked, and stomped, and beat...not okay. Bullying is not acceptable, but kicking someone in the head. Punishment doesn't fit the crime.'

BREAKING: Antifa-backed trans sex offender at center of WiSpa controversy arrested after months on the run​

Archive

On Sunday, Darren Merger, a biological male who identifies as transgender, who exposed his genitals to a little girl and several women in June of 2021 at the Los Angeles Wi Spa, was arrested after months of an outstanding warrant was out for Merger's arrest for indecent exposure.

The Post Millennial Editor-at-Large Andy Ngo tweeted, "BREAKING Wi Spa update: The trans sex offender & wanted fugitive over women's locker room indecent exposure incidents, including Wi Spa case defended by Antifa, has been arrested. Darren Merager had been on the run since September 2021 after my reporting. Bail is set at $350k."

"Though Darren Merager is legally female through California's self-ID law, Merager is currently being kept in a male inmate facility in Los Angeles. After 15 months of being a wanted felony fugitive, the registered sex offender was arrested on Dec. 13, 2022," Ngo wrote.

"In June 2021, a video recorded at Wi Spa went viral. It showed women complaining about a nude man in the women's section. The incident was dismissed as a transphobic hoax by left-wing press. I investigated & found out a sex offender was the suspect."

Charges were filed on Merger, who is a tier-one registered sex offender with multiple felonies, after the incident.

Ngo posted video of the original incident, where a woman can be heard complaining about Merger.

"Wi Spa, so it's okay. I just want to be clear with you. It's okay for a man to go into the women's section, show his penis to young little girls. Your spa, Wi Spa, condones that," she said. "Girls down there, other women who are highly offended by what they just saw and you did absolutely nothing. You sided with him. Wi Spa is in agreement," the woman says to the workers at the spa's front desk.

For months after the incident happened at Wi Spa, management chose to ignore the women. Left-wing media outlets reported it was a "transphobic hoax." This led to months of protest, sometimes violent, around the Spa.

In an interview with Ngo, Merager denied all wrongdoing and claimed that he was the victim of "transphobic sexual harassment," despite flashing partially erect genitalia to a young girl.

Ngo told Tucker Carlson in September of 2021, "As a gay man, LGBT stories interest me, but as a journalist, the truth matters the most. The truth here is that four women and a minor girl, all people of color, came forward to authorities, despite the pressure that they were facing from the public. The LAPD were completely silent for two months throughout this investigation which seemed like they were trying to make the story go away or was giving some legitimacy that there wasn't merit to the original claims."

GERMANY: Pregnant Woman Attacked by Trans Activists At Anti-Sex Trade Demonstration​

Archive

Women in Germany who attended an event critical of the sex industry were assaulted by trans activists in a coordinated counter-demonstration that resulted in multiple people, including a six-months pregnant mother, being attacked.

On Sunday, December 11, a conference was held at the Conne Island Cultural Center in Leipzig titled “The New Pseudo-Left.” The event, featuring communist author Jörg Finkenberger, was intended to criticize the political left’s acceptance of the sex industry, and its treatment and suppression of feminists critical of gender ideology.

In particular, the left’s support for legalized prostitution in Germany was called into question. At the end of August, an event in Berlin organized by survivors of prostitution was cancelled due to pressure from trans activists. Sisters advocates for women in the sex trade seeking to exit and promotes legislation commonly referred to as the “Nordic Model,” which penalizes pimps and sex buyers in an effort to reduce demand for sex trafficking rather than criminalizing the women forced into the industry.

In response to the event’s anti-sex trade discussion, trans activist group Linksjugend Leipzig Ost rallied its supporters to protest outside the venue on the basis of “transphobia” and “sex worker hostility.”

CN Transfeindlichkeit, Sex-Arbeiter*innen-Feindlichkeit
Im Conne Island findet am 11.12. ein Vortrag mit dem Titel “Die neue Pseudolinke” statt. In dem Vortrag sollen laut Ankündigung vor allem die Sex-Arbeiter*innen-feindliche Thesen von Sisters e.V. verbreitet werden. pic.twitter.com/elsMb7U9Il
— Linksjugend Leipzig Ost (@ljl_ost) December 8, 2022

According to eyewitness reports, members of the group blocked the entrance to the building while shouting expletives about “TERFs” – an acronym for “trans exclusionary radical feminist” often used as a derogatory term for women who are critical of gender ideology.

Women were also insulted as “SWERFs,” a slur used to demean those who criticize the sex industry. The acronym stands for “sex worker exclusionary radical feminist,” and is frequently used in conjunction with “TERF.”

The group, consisting of approximately 40 black-clad individuals, made an effort to bar visitors from entering, and some went on to physically assault attendees.

One of the women who attended, a sex trade survivor named Marie, told Reduxx about the attacks on event participants.

Marie described how the aggression rapidly escalated as people attempted to enter the Conne Island center, and explained that all attendees were searched for weapons before being permitted admission on account of threats that had been made to the administrators of the venue.

According to Marie, one woman in particular had been a target for the activists – famed biologist and feminist Marie-Luise Vollbrecht.

Vollbrecht has become a lightning rod for trans activist aggression after a lecture that she was scheduled to present on the evolution of biological sex was cancelled earlier this year.

Her talk, titled “Gender is not the same as sex: Sex, gender and why there are only two sexes in biology,” was intended to demonstrate her research in her main area of academic interest, which includes neurobiology and animal physiology.

Marie explains Vollbrecht had been situated at the center of their group in order to protect her from serious injury due to calls for violence against her that had been circulating on social media.

“We knew they hate her the most and wanted see her hurt,” Marie says. “It started when we tried to enter. Marie-Louise [Vollbrecht] was hit in the ribs with an elbow. They were trying to shove us around.”

Ich wurde geschubst und hab einen Ellenbogen in die Rippen bekommen (beim Reingehen) inklusive "schäm dich" Rufe. Abeim Verlassen haben mich 20 Menschen in die Mitte genommen. Mir geht es gut, die Situation war aber max bedrohlich
— Frau Marie https://sneed.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/svg/1f426.svg (@Frollein_VogelV) December 11, 2022

Outside of the venue, members of Linksjugend Leipzig Ost read a statement they had prepared which singled out Vollbrecht by name as a “TERF” and slammed Sisters as an association made up of “radical feminists who are anti-trans and anti-sex workers.”

Marie describes how a friend of hers who left the event early was assaulted on her way out of the building. The trans activist group congregated outside the entrance, and as she stepped outside, she was struck in the face by one of the men in the counter-demonstration.

“After that, my male friends went out to see what was going on. One of the protesters ripped the hat off of his head and threw it. That’s when things escalated.”

Marie says that one of her male friends was pepper-sprayed in the face by a trans activist dressed in all black who screamed at him for being a “cis” man.

Komme gerade vom Conne Island, meine Zusammenfassung: Extrem aggressive Stimmung bei der Gegendemonstration, einer Frau wurde ins Gesicht geschlagen, eine schwangere Frau getreten und es wurde auf uns/vor uns gespuckt. Frauenfeindliche Parolen inklusive. https://t.co/BPtLeFtMp6
— marie (@marishkamaus) December 11, 2022

Even a six-months pregnant woman was not spared the aggression, and was attacked as she attempted to leave the area.

As she was being shoved, the woman tried telling the trans activists that she was pregnant in an effort to have them stop aggressively manhandling her. But informing them did not stop the attack, and one of the protesters deliberately blew cigarette smoke into her face and stalked her in an intimidating manner as she fled towards her car.

Marie says that the woman’s boyfriend intervened, sparing her from serious injury.

“She was specifically attacked because she was a pregnant woman. It was not like they did not know she was pregnant,” Marie says.

Police were present outside the venue, but Marie says some women were reluctant to file reports due to their reputation, and others were hesitant due to their political stances. One woman who was hit in the face wanted to go to the police, but had a hard time finding people willing to substantiate her statement due to concerns for their own safety.

“Police don’t have the best reputation… And we’re all leftists. Some don’t want to go to the police and collaborate,” Marie says. “But now the venue has set up an e-mail address where they are soliciting messages from anyone who was harmed.”

In the days following the attacks, Linksjugend Leipzig Ost posted a thread on Twitter sarcastically mocking the women attendees, Vollbrecht in particular, with videos depicting soldiers lying dead and bloodied on a battlefield.

Marie added that those assaulted have been “framed as the aggressors” on social media by members of the trans activist association. Marie and other women attending the lecture brought male friends with them, she says, because they expected to be attacked – something that trans activists labeled an incitement to violence.

“These people are very dangerous, and they are doxxing us in their groups,” Marie added. “They know where we live, they know our names, and I know that some of them are johns. Some of them are porn consumers, and are very misogynistic and have a hatred of women.”

Marie explains that the hostility from trans activists has been increasing, and causing a climate of fear among women in Germany who oppose the sex industry and gender ideology.

“We do not feel safe going to any leftist events,” Marie says. She also noted how trans activists have been attending events organized by groups established to support women who have left the sex industry, or oppose the legal model of prostitution, in order to intimidate them.

The trans activist groups have been “massively threatening” the women with violence, Marie said, resulting in women being prevented from publicly protesting Germany’s notoriously extreme sex industry.

Germany is often referred to colloquially as the “brothel of Europe” for its massive legal prostitution market in which many eyebrow-raising practices have managed to become normalized.

In recent years, there have been documented cases of convicted rapists being granted permission to visit brothels with the explicit intention of “accumulating experience with women” as a form of therapy. Desperate migrant women have also been a target for solicitation into the “industry,” with some trans activist-run “sex worker” collectives having come under fire recently for attempting to appeal to Ukrainian women fleeing the conflict.

In March, Reduxx reported on how a trans activist “sex work” organization had been utilizing social media to solicit Ukrainian refugee women for information on entering the legal German sex trade.

Berlin-based Trans*Sexworks, which describes itself as “a peer-to-peer support structure and network for and made up of trans and non-binary sexworkers,” posted advertisements for counselling services targeting Ukrainian women who ‘need support/info on how to begin sex work in Germany.’

That same month, Berlin’s police force issued a statement warning the public about the presence of human traffickers attempting to lure refugees from Ukraine at the city’s central railway station.

Huschke Mau, an author and advocate for the Nordic model legislation, told Deutsche Welle: “Every day, 1.2 million men go to a prostitute here. Germany is the number one destination country for EU-wide human trafficking,” she said, adding that traffickers and pimps “know that the refugees can bring them a lot of money.”

Japanese Transgender YouTuber Sparks Outcry After Entering Women’s Bath House​

Archive

A Japanese trans-identified male YouTuber has prompted backlash after boasting of using the women’s sauna at a hotel in Yokohama last month.

Nao Wasada, who also uses the name Suzanne Misaki, uploaded a video to his YouTube channel on December 5 titled “What Happened After a Former Man Took Off His Clothes and Entered the Women’s Bath.” In the vlog, Wasada describes his experience entering the women’s section of the bath house in highly sexualized terms.

As of January 4, the upload has over 2,300 ‘dislikes’ compared to only 290 ‘likes.’

“I snuck into a women’s bath where women in their natural appearance gathered together,” Wasada says in the video. “For a former man, a women’s bath is a dangerous place because it reveals the male body and if it is discovered that you are a former man, you are in all sorts of trouble.”

He went on to call the experience “paradise” and said he was in “boob heaven,” and compared women’s bodies to marshmallows and peaches, using Japanese onomatopoeia to imitate the sound of jiggling. “It was really a 360-degree world full of tits and tight, peach-like buttocks,” Wasada said.

“I actually went to peachy boob heaven and worshipped marshmallow tits,” he added. “Everyone hides them with a towel, but they’re protruding, aren’t they? Heaven. There are big peaches and small ones. There are peaches, and there are women whose buttocks stick out like pears.”

Wasada further detailed his experience in the women’s public bath on his Instagram account, where he describes himself as someone who “love spending money on plastic surgery, body modification, and beauty,” and promises tips on “bust enhancement.”

In a December 4 post, Wasada stated that this was not his first time entering a women’s public bath, and again made sexual comments about the naked bodies of women he saw in the bath house. Wasada excitedly compared women’s breasts to a buffet, depicting the scene as “all-you-can-fill boobs while your heart is pounding.”

Wasada has made repeated references to breasts in his videos and social media posts. In June 2021, Wasada tweeted: “I love girls, I love boobs. If you have a sex change, have breast augmentation, and work hard on your clothes, hairstyle, voice, and make-up to look like a woman, you will be recognized as a woman, and that’s okay.”

Many commenters responded negatively to Wasada’s sauna video, with some asserting that Wasada posed a threat to the women in the facility. The replies which received the most “likes” in response were ones which strongly condemned Wasada’s behavior.

“If you’re a woman at heart, don’t you understand that if you say things like this to a woman, it’s scary and disgusting? I’m not discriminatory and I’ve participated in the Pride parade in the past, but when I saw this video, I honestly thought it was really disgusting. LGBT+ just lost its supporters,” read one of the top comments.

“[This is] a person you don’t want your wife or daughter to encounter in a hot spring or toilet,” said another commenter.

Other responses from women expressed the view that they would not want to enter a public bath if they knew men would be present and watching them. Some replied that Wasada’s behavior was more like a man than that of a woman, with one respondent labeling him “a man who is fascinated by women’s bodies and has changed his body beyond his hobby of cross-dressing.”

Japanese news outlets reported on Wasada’s video, and a lawyer spoke with Yahoo News about the incident. When questioned about the legality of the situation, attorney Ayao Masaki, a member of the Tokyo Bar Association, stated that it could present a “legal issue,” and cited laws related to trespassing with a voyeuristic intent and public exposure.

Following the public outcry, Wasada uploaded a video on December 20 responding to critics. Rather than apologizing for his behavior, Wasada instead claimed that the video was intended for male viewers, referred to himself as a “pervert”, and stated that he could not promise he would refrain from making similar comments about women in the future.

A Japanese feminist who campaigns against gender self-identification policies explained to Reduxx that because bath houses are segregated according to sex, women would not expect men to be permitted to enter the women’s area.

Haruka, speaking under the condition of anonymity, said that despite the laws surrounding sex-segregation, there have been documented cases of men gaining access to the women’s baths under false pretenses. Most of those cases resulted in an arrest.

Haruka added that she believed some women would refuse to use public bath facilities if they knew that men who identify as transgender were being granted entrance, and especially if they were aware that such men were sexually attracted to women. Haruka explained that in Japan, public bath houses are not considered recreational, but are “a part of daily life.”

Gender ideology appears to now be colliding with Japan’s centuries-long tradition of public bathing and creating legal confusion. While the areas are presumed to be segregated based on sex, the introduction of legal document revision means that males like Wasada who change their gender marker to “female” are technically able to access the facilities.

The Japanese government currently requires “sex-reassignment surgery” in order for individuals to alter sex markers on official documents, though activists are pushing for reforms which would allow for self-identification on the basis of a subjective gender identity with no medical transition.

Last fall, Reduxx reported that several Japanese women’s universities had begun accepting men who self-declare a transgender status as students.

Japan Women’s University (JWU) was the latest institution to announce it would be adopting a self-identification policy. The measure will be implemented at the start of 2024 despite half of the female students currently enrolled expressing opposition or hesitation.

In response to the female student’s concerns, JWU released a “Diversity Declaration” last June outlining how administrators intended to work towards convincing female students to change their views on gender ideology. According to the statement, female students at Japan Women’s University (JWU) who express skepticism on the topic of gender identity may be asked to speak with “gender-specialist counselors” in order to convince them that men who identify as transgender are “female.”

Policies allowing for men to self-identify into women-only academic institutions come in the wake of internationally-publicized scandals that saw top universities intentionally lowering women’s entrance exam scores for years to deny them admission on the basis of their sex.

International rankings, including those from the World Economic Forum, consistently place Japan as one of the most unequal countries in the developed world in terms of political representation and economic opportunities for women.

Sexual harassment, upskirting, and public groping are so prevalent in the nation that advertisements on public transportation can be seen warning passengers to be on alert for sexually-motivated crimes, and most major railways offer some form of specially designated women-only spaces or train cars. In addition, voyeurism pornography has been increasing in popularity in recent years, motivating men to install cameras in women’s spaces of undress in order to film them unaware.

On the lighter side of Tranny News…

male swimmer Iszac Henig has admitted that his transition has made him a statistically worse swimmer after he finished 79th out of 83 at men's meet - but says he ultimately 'lives more' as a man.

Henig, 21, has begun swimming for the Yale men's team after placing as an All-American on the women's team the previous year.

Top Stories by Daily Mail 00:29 01:00
In an op-ed published Thursday, Henig notes that his times are 'about the same' as last season when he swam with women but that as a result, in a November meet, he finished 79th out of 83.

The sports site Outkick noted that a swimmer without a left arm and three others who specialize in different strokes were the only four who finished behind Henig.

It's a far fall in terms of competing, given that Henig was such a heralded women's swimmer she competed in the 2016 Olympic trials and was named one of the top 100 female swimmers in the country.


Transgender male swimmer Iszac Henig has admitted that his transition has made him a statistically worse swimmer but he does not regret the change and ultimately 'lives more' as a result
He wrote: 'I wasn't the slowest guy in any of my events, but I'm not as successful in the sport as I was on the women's team.'

Writing for the , Henig - whom along with Penn's Lia Thomas, has caused controversy and backlash against transgender athletes - says he is living his best life.

He speaks about using swimming in high school - where he was highly rated and broke records - as a way to see value in himself as he was going through feeling like he was 'completely out of touch with myself' and contribute to a team.

'I felt most appreciated and closest to my true self when I was swimming,' he wrote and felt joy in throwing himself into the Yale swim team when Henig arrived at the Connecticut Ivy League institution.

'I was able to define myself by what I could do beyond the norm, not by how well I could fit into it. I did not need to ask myself who I was the way I did at school or in social settings,' he added.

Henig said he continued to enjoy life as a swimmer at Yale to begin with, having become the highest point scorer for the women's swim team by sophomore year.

However, by that time, he describes his 'mere existence' being 'effortful' and said he felt discomfort in the locker room.

In an op-ed published Thursday, Henig notes that his times are 'about the same' as last season when he swam with women but that as a result, in a November meet, he finished 79th out of 83
While he had already acknowledged he was attracted to women and assumed that was what made for confusion, it soon became bigger than that.

'I thought that my unease came from worry that my sexuality made others uncomfortable,' he writes. 'I hadn’t yet considered that the real reason I felt so off was my sense of being in the wrong locker room.'

He said that things got worse during the pandemic, as he was sent home from school and the pools were closed, leaving him without the escape swimming so often brought.

Henig chose to take a gap year 'to focus on improving my mental health and, as an added benefit, to preserve my collegiate seasons of eligibility.'

As he tried to cling to being a woman, he says the feelings only grew worse, eventually trying out therapy.


Henig wrote: 'I wasn't the slowest guy in any of my events, but I'm not as successful in the sport as I was on the women's team'

Henig speaks about using swimming in high school - where he was highly rated and broke records - as a way to see value in himself as he was going through feeling like he was 'completely out of touch with myself' and contribute to a team
'I dived deeper into queerness, exploring the balance of masculinity and femininity, especially with presentation in clothing,' Henig wrote. 'Through that I discovered binders, base-layer compression garments used to create a more traditionally masculine chest appearance.'

Henig claims feeling 'euphoric' upon putting together this appearance and it led to finally questioning his identity as a woman.

Eventually, it led to changing his name, pronouns and getting a double mastectomy early in 2021. The final decision, when he returned to Yale, was what he was going to do about the swim team.

He was given the option of choosing the men's or women's team and chose the women's at first, saying he felt he'd made a commitment, but that eventually, it became impossible to navigate.

So after what Henig calls the 'best swim season of my life' that included an Ivy League championship and a top five finish at the NCAA Championships, he finally decided to join the men's team.

In addition to the 79th-place finish in November against Columbia, he also finished in 10th place out of 11 and 11th out of 12 in two events days earlier and finished the slowest of anyone in a third.

That said, that's not really the point for Henig. 'I'm trying to connect with my teammates in new ways, to cheer loudly, to focus more on the excitement of the sport,' Henig wrote. 'Competing and being challenged is the best part. It's a different kind of fulfillment. And it's pretty great to feel comfortable in the locker room every day.'

Henig finishes: 'Feeling congruent with my team has opened my eyes even further to how powerful athletic communities can be and how important it is for everyone to have the chance to feel that.'

Trans swimmers s and Henig lead to controversy and to further questions about their continued participation in sporting competition.

Earlier this year, President Joe Biden proposed to change the definition of 'sex' in a federal civil rights law to include 'gender' and 'gender identity.'

The changes to Title IX, the 1972 law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or any other education program that receives funding from the federal government, would therefore allow transgender female athletes to compete against biological women in sports.

THE RULES ON TRANSGENDER ATHLETES AND WHEN THEY CAN COMPETE FOR GENDER THEY ARE SWITCHING TO​

Lia Thomas started taking hormone therapy while she was still competing as a male back in May 2019.

Under USA Swimming rules, athletes had to have recorded low levels of testosterone for 36 months to compete in the female category.

That meant that Thomas didn't qualify for the NCAA championship, if they followed USA Swimming rules - as they originally said they would.

But the NCAA said that she would be allowed to compete because they were refusing to adopt the threshold in 2021.

The NCAA committee said: 'The subcommittee decided implementing additional changes at this time could have unfair and potentially detrimental impacts on schools and student-athletes intending to compete in 2022 NCAA women's swimming championships.'

It is unclear what they will do next year, however.

This chick was at one time in the Olympic trials. Now she’s a zippertitted manatee barely beating the dude WITH ONE ARM in a swimming contest.


After a little investigating, my hunch proved accurate. Henig isn’t even swimming in competition. Like Schuyler Bailar before her, she swimming in the non-competitive exhibition category.

A Festival Is ‘Uncensored’ No More After Pulling a Work About Gender​

The Frigid Fringe Festival in New York said it would no longer bill itself as “uncensored” after deciding not to move ahead with a performance it deemed anti-trans.

​

Since its 2007 founding, the Frigid Fringe Festival in New York has selected the plays it produces randomly, like many other fringe festivals around the world that aim to highlight voices from outside the theatrical establishment. It boasted that it was both “unjuried,” since it did not rely on gatekeeping panels, and “uncensored.”

But that changed this past fall, when Frigid decided for the first time that it would not stage one of the productions it had chosen. A staffer at the festival had red-flagged the work, “Poems on Gender,” after its author, David Lee Morgan, submitted a blurb drawn from the show that began: “There are two sexes, male and female.” Further investigation led organizers to conclude that it “featured material we deem to be anti-trans.”

In canceling its production of “Poems on Gender,” Frigid announced that it would stop calling itself “uncensored,” and that it would reserve the right to withdraw future plays. “Our commitment to freedom of expression does not obligate us to lend our efforts to platform what we consider to be hate speech, or even just very offensive and hurtful speech,” it said in a news release. It added, “In this case we choose to just say no.”

The festival was “uncensored” no longer, becoming the latest example of a wider rebalancing in the worlds of culture, publishing and academia, as many institutions that once emphasized freedom of expression and artistic license have curbed speech that they deem hateful or offensive to members of marginalized groups.

Morgan, a busker and spoken-word poet based in London who performs “Poems on Gender” as a recited monologue, said in an interview that he did not expect Frigid to tolerate absolutely everything. “If I were presenting a recruiting film for the Ku Klux Klan,” he said, “I’d be astounded if they’d be fine with putting it on.”

But he disputed that his show, which he performed last year at the prominent Edinburgh Festival Fringe, was deserving of censorship. “Is it reactionary?” he said. “Is it anti-trans? Is it bigotry to say there are two sexes, male and female?”​

Erez Ziv, a founder of Frigid New York and its managing artistic director, said he could not ask his increasingly diverse staff, which includes several transgender and nonbinary people, to be part of a production that denied their realities. The Frigid Fringe Festival, which will run in February and March, supplies shows with theatrical space and publicity, and tech and front-of-house workers. Productions keep all box office revenue. (Frigid relies on grants and small fees from the productions.)

“In November, I boastfully said to an entire room full of fringe producers in North America that I would allow a show to happen no matter what,” Ziv said. “But then it happened: We actually got a show that I just couldn’t ask my staff to work.”

“I support free speech,” he added. “I think all speech should be legally protected, but not all speech should be platformed.”

David Lee Morgan said he did not believe his work “Poems on Gender” deserved censorship: “Is it bigotry to say there are two sexes, male and female?”Credit...Charlotte Hadden for The New York Times

​

Before deciding, Ziv, who never reads production scripts for Frigid, viewed several online videos of Morgan performing other works. He also consulted a colleague: the co-artistic director at Frigid, Jimmy Lovett, partly because Lovett is trans.

Lovett said that some of Morgan’s online performances of related works were “very minimizing of our experiences” and framed transition-related surgery and other medical care as “damaging to the body rather than necessary and healthy for the individual.”
In sometimes elliptical language, “Poems on Gender” raises questions about how some people define their genders (“You tell me I can’t be your friend/Unless I believe you are a real woman/I can’t do that”) and about transition-related medical care (“You took a rainbow and forged it into a knife”).

Morgan, who grew up in Washington State, describes himself as left-wing and feminist and said that “Poems on Gender” was partly inspired by conversations with trans friends from the spoken-word poetry scene. “I’m looking at people I have a lot of respect and unity with, and then seeing where we disagree,” he said, noting that he believes some of the friendships have ended because of his views.

Frigid’s evolution away from its stage-anything ethos is striking, because the festival exists precisely to ensure that even unusual or outré works get a chance to go up in New York City.

Fringe festivals share a mandate to elevate edgier voices. The concept originated when troupes that were not invited to the first Edinburgh International Festival in 1947 put on a counter-festival, which a journalist later described as “round the fringe of official festival drama.” They have earned a reputation for giving opportunities to new talent: the hit Broadway musical “Six,” about the wives of Henry VIII, was written by college students and was one of the 3,398 shows the Edinburgh Festival Fringe put on in 2017.

Xela Batchelder, a veteran fringe producer who studied fringe festivals for her Ph.D. dissertation, said that generally “the audience is the curator,” and that it would be a challenge for festivals to begin deciding which works to stage and which to rule out. “It’s going to be very hard for the arts organizations and the artists trying to figure out how to work through all this,” she said.

The fringe model has been tested in recent years. The Chicago Fringe Festival, which like Frigid selected works entirely by lottery, faced backlash in 2017 for staging “A Virtuous Pedophile.” (Its author, Sean Neely, said the play did not advocate pedophilia.) The outcry was “very detrimental” to the festival, said Anne Cauley, its executive director at the time, and the festival’s largest foundation sponsor declined to renew its support the next year. The festival ceased after 2018.

The Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals, whose guiding principles call for convening no juries for selecting plays and allowing no interference with artistic content, added a new plank in 2017 that said, “Festivals will promote and model inclusivity, diversity and multiculturalism.”

A spokeswoman for the association, Michele Gallant, said that Frigid, which is one of its members, had still abided by the principle that says “festival producers do not interfere with the artistic content of each performance,” because it had not altered the show — but simply pulled it entirely.

Morgan still hopes to take “Poems on Gender” to other fringe festivals.

He won the Canadian association’s lottery in November, which gives him entry to fringe festivals next summer in the cities of Victoria and Vancouver, in British Columbia. The Vancouver Fringe declined to comment, and an official at the Victoria Fringe did not respond to a request for comment.

As a fringe performer I have always had positive experiences with Erez. I’m glad he pulled the plug on this piece. The excerpts featured here don’t seem to be particularly artful or insightful. Sometimes ‘controversial’ art is just badly done. It’s really not worth putting his team members through the experience of promoting and elevating this kind of work.

I've presented work in The Frigid Festival, and found that it was one of the best run, most professional situations I've worked in.

I've also seen many shows in the festival and at their various venues over the years. The entire organization is one that presents a huge amount of wide-ranging work. They are one of the essentials of downtown and independent theater.

They also treat artists fairly and with respect, and work to give us the best possible venue for our work.

To all of the commentariat publicly bewailing this decision, and commenting on how you can't say ANYTHING these days, I'd like to ask how long you have supported independent theater? Which are your favorite venues? Who are some of your favorite performers?

For that matter, a man who calls himself a feminist and reserves the right to define who is a woman is not someone I'd consider a feminist.

Do you know how you get into fFigid? If you are one of the first submissions at midnight on the day that applications open, you are in. No questions asked. And for many years this has been a great process.

I think that Erez and the rest of his staff made the correct decision.

For those who are so upset that a voice they want to hear is being silenced, I recommend that you produce his show. That's what independent theater is all about.

It's funny, because gatekeepers and curators typically lack any known abilities in the art forms they oversee. When challenged, they cite their current or past experience -- curating. It's true in theater, film, etc. We're experts not because we have demonstrable skills in the medium but because we're employed as such. Or we inherited the job from someone else.

"Erez and the rest of his staff" apparently can't even say that much, based on the description you offer of how one gains acceptance to this festival. What we have here are curators without experience of curation.

But you still have absolute faith in their judgment -- at least until your views and theirs diverge.

@jrd "Funny"?
Well, I'm a playwright, with a show opening in NYC this weekend (presented by TOSOS at The Flea).

"Funny," I've had my plays professionally produced since the last century (including in the late NYC Fringe festival which was [gasp] curated and juried!), and have been involved in indie theater as a playwright, producer and (God forbid!) a curator of drama and literary works my whole working life.

"Funny," I'm also on the standing committee for Festivals and Contests for the Dramatists Guild, where a number of dedicated playwrights work to develop Best Practices for our Guild.

Frigid has always accepted the first 10 plays submitted, no questions asked (and I know people around the world waiting at their computers to hit "Send" the night applications open.)

"Funny," but independent theater is my passion and my avocation. I'm proud to have worked in it for many years, and to work in the community so that others can present their work.

"Funny," I've also edited literary anthologies and magazines, and "curated" the selection of 10 or 15 pieces from 200 or so submissions.

"Funny," I wonder whether you actually attend indie theater at all.

"Funny."

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Look at all these comments with the predictable "they're stifling discussion," etc. responses. There is nothing here up for discussion. You are not entitled to an opinion about other people's genders and how they should be "allowed" to express them.
Let's make this more visible. Interestingly, the playwright himself tries the "hey, it's not like I wrote about the Klan" approach. Well, exactly. When anti-trans speech and actions (same for misogyny) are questioned, a quick way to make what is going on crystal clear is to sub in race for gender.
If this playwright's poem that is quoted in the article had been about race instead of gender, it would have read “You tell me I can’t be your friend/Unless I believe you are a real human/I can’t do that.”
Voila--clearly this is vile to present on the stage, unless in the mouth of a character we are meant to find racist. A play that "raises questions about how some people define their genders" is no more acceptable than a play that raises questions about whether some people should be able to attend college, eat at lunch counters, or vote.
Yes, art should talk about all the existence of human existence, including racism, LGTBQ-hatred, and misogyny. A play that explores that gets the stage--a play that expresses that does not.

The amusing part of this is that there are many, many trans people who believe that there are, in fact, only 2 sexes. They just believe they're the wrong one.

Calling this work anti-trans is ridiculous. One could consider it anti-gender-fluid or anti-non-binary, but those are different things. I wonder if any trans people are involved in making these decisions in their name?

@M-in-Vegas yes, in what sense does a statement like “gender doesn’t exist” not undermine the experience of trans people? There are a lot of rough edges that never get addressed because it’s really difficult to have an honest conversation. Even raising questions about things that seem like logical inconsistencies gets shut down as hate speech.

…Civilizations the world over have - for better or worse - been built around the idea of two genders. It’s an idea that is central to more than one creation myth. And for that reason it’s a basic axiom of the world most of us grew up in. ..getting everyone to rethink that isn’t something that is going to happen overnight, but willingness to have open conversations would help. I don’t think the quick tendency to accuse people who have questions of being bigoted hate mongers is very conducive to making progress. It just carves out more fault lines in society.

I do find it interesting that one trans person gets veto power over anything that that one particular person views as anti-trans. Should that one person be allowed to speak for a whole community?

I think I'm pretty smart and know a good bit about the gay community--and the "bear community" in particular (full disclosure: I'm a bear). I've been the "victim" of anti-bear bias perpetrated by "twinks." So I know what that bias feels like and have some choice words for its perpetrators. But does that mean that what I consider "anti-bear" is something my fellow bears would also consider anti-bear? I dunno. Should I get veto power because a gay play comes across as anti-bear just because I'm one of the organizers of a festival showcasing fringe theater? I'd love that kind of power, don't get me wrong. But I also know it wouldn't be right.

I bought the book of poetry today, Poems on Gender, by David Lee Morgan, after reading this article -- I read the entire thing, it's not that long. OMG, it is not hateful at all, and it is not anti-trans! It does engage in a vigorous debate about the meaning of gender, the meaning of biological sex, and how culture and capitalism engage in wars upon our bodies in the name of gender. It tackles difficult ideas, from a variety of viewpoints. It is challenging, but not hateful, and not anti-trans, if you read the entire thing instead of a few phrases taken out of context.

Who gets to define what is "anti-trans"? If one trans person says so about a work, then must we censor the work to avoid offending one person? I identify as nonbinary, which some people consider to be a type of transgender, and I do not view this work as anti-trans. Do we get to vote on this, or do we have to censor something because one person claims it is hateful? Or can we allow diversity of opinion even when somebody gets hurt?

I value freedom of speech more than I value making sure nobody is ever upset by something they've read or heard or seen. The real world is upsetting. Discussions about real issues can be upsetting. There's more than one way to view gender issues, and this short volume explores many of them. But never in a hateful way.

So sad to see this play getting pulled.

I don’t agree with the playwright/poet’s comments on trans surgery. I am agnostic on whether there are just two genders.

But these are ideas that need air time, not the shutting down of illuminating discussion.

My own mind has been changed on various trans issues, and that has come through reading and mingling with trans people.

Mostly it has come through getting to know my mother’s caretaker. She is trans. I don’t think of her as anything but a woman, and I relate to her as a woman myself, woman to woman. Is that the right way to think of her? Should I be doing anything different? Without discussion, even confrontation through works of art, we cannot grow as people, or grow our culture.

Sadly, I have not been to the theater )or opera, cinema, live music or comedy shows) in person since my toddler was born. My wife and I get one or two dinners out per month when we have childcare. We get home by 7:30 pm to be there for his (delightful) bedtime. So, no, my consumption of culture and the recent surge in trans-related questions have not dovetailed into a theater-going experience that challenged my beliefs. Instead, I find most of those challenges and new ideas through reading or the occasional Netflix binge.

I don't see a call to violence against any group or an attack on their beliefs. It does reflect a disagreement but how is that worth of rejection from a "fringe" production.

Let's be honest here: The primary purpose of "extreme free speech" over the past hundred years or so has been to transgress and subvert traditional conservative values in the name of bringing about utopian social change. But as the quasi-religious Woke Left insinuates itself into our institutions and gains more and more power it is displaying a puritanical unwillingness to allow its own sacred doctrines to be transgressed.

And for whatever reason, the doctrine of The Transubstantiation of Genders -- male to female and female to male -- seems to be the most sacred doctrine of all. As Tertullian (purportedly) said: "I believe it *because* it is absurd".
