A transgender rapist who identifies as a woman and groomed and abused a vulnerable young girl has been jailed for more than 20 years.
James Groves, 51, who goes by the name of April but was tried as a man, was convicted at Bristol Crown Court of 18 child sex offences and one count of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
The ‘manipulative’ child sex offender raped the girl nine times over a number of years while she was a child.

The Left has told us for years that if we deny “gender-affirming care” to minors, they will commit suicide. It was a gross and nefarious ploy that played with parents’ emotions to push harmful sterilizing and mutilating procedures on children.
“Do you want a living daughter or a dead son?” was the question often asked. In December 2024, a lawyer with the ACLU told the Supreme Court that such care didn’t decrease suicidality in minors. Chase Strangio admitted that when questioned by Justice Alito.
When the BBC television programme The Black and White Minstrel Show breathed its last one evening in 1978 after a whopping 20 years, I don’t think many people were that cut up about it. Except, of course, the entertainers involved, who included a young Lenny Henry. When I see Sir Lenworth CBE now talking about reparations, I wonder how much of it is him trying to compensate for appearing in this show. Don’t worry, Len. You were married to Dawn French for 25 years – you’ve served the time.

Four historic women’s colleges allow men who claim to be women to be admitted into their schools, making “substantial misrepresentation[s]” to the public about their programs while taking federal taxpayer funds and violating Title IX, according to four complaints filed with the Department of Education.
The complaints filed by the Defense of Freedom Institute (DFI), obtained by The Federalist, detail to the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) how the schools — Agnes Scott College, Bryn Mawr College, Stephens College, and Wesleyan College — each allow any male who claims to be a woman to attend, while still maintaining their status as a women’s only college.
Pro-women’s sports campaigner Jennifer Sey claims the FBI is investigating threats to her and her employees’ lives.
Sey is a retired gymnast and author who founded XX-XY Athletics, an apparel brand whose ‘mission is to empower female athletes and take a stand for fair competition.’ The company claims to be ‘for everyone who believes in the transformative power of sport and the need for safety and fairness.’
XX-XY’s stance has put Sey at the forefront of the fight over the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports, which has engulfed the WNBA in particular in recent months.
If the topic wasn’t so serious, I might be laughing about the federal government’s statement of defence to a Charter challenge against one of its policies. The statement responds to the advocacy group Canadian Women’s Sex Based Rights (CAWSBAR), which is challenging the policy of allowing men who identify as women to transfer into federal women’s prisons.
The federal government is defending its policy allowing transgender-identifying male inmates to be housed in women’s prisons despite acknowledging cases in which female inmates made sexual assault complaints that resulted in criminal charges.
Jon Ronson and I were friends for 25 years. In 2008, I got him on Twitter, telling him it was a utopia where people played hashtag games and got stuck in lifts. I invited him to sit in on recordings of Father Ted, Paris and The IT Crowd. That was before the trans wars – and online life turning toxic.

The new school year had not even officially started yet in Colorado Springs when an award-winning teacher found herself in hot water for wearing a t-shirt stating simply that men and women have different chromosomes.
Stacy Adair is a teacher for “English Language Learners” at Wilson Elementary School in Colorado Springs School District 11. When attending a teacher preparation day on August 6th, Adair chose to wear a t-shirt stating a simple biological reality: “XX≠XY.”
For some time now, the media have been reporting that support for what they call “LGBTQ+ issues” is on the decline. In the latest issue of Newsweek, Mandy Taheri observes that this has been happening even as the number of Americans “who identify as LGBTQ+” has boomed, with California, for example, boasting more than 3.1 million “LGBTQ+” people.
Last year, a federal court in Washington State ruled that Premera Blue Cross unlawfully discriminated when it refused to cover elective double mastectomies for two young girls. The decision read like a harsh warning to every employer: exclude gender-transition procedures for children from your health plan and risk an Affordable Care Act discrimination claim. But the story doesn’t end there.
In July 2026, the United States filed a brief urging the Ninth Circuit to reject that court’s misguided reasoning.
One of the world’s loudest and most successful cheerleaders for gender ideology has been forced into a tactical retreat in an ongoing U.S. court case.
Anyone mildly familiar with the controversy over “gender affirming” care will be aware that proponents for this medical scandal have insisted that there is to be no debate on trans health care — and that debate is not only tantamount to heresy, but could end the lives or very existence of transgender identified persons. Critics are often met with the refrain, “the science is settled,” when they ask questions about the wisdom or safety of transitioning gender-confused minors.
Canadian powerlifting champion April Hutchinson led the seventh Sophie Cunningham rally on Tuesday night in Toronto – the first to take place outside of the U.S.
A crowd of Cunningham supporters gathered outside of Scotiabank Arena ahead of the Indiana Fever’s win against the Toronto Tempo. Supporters were seen wearing XX-XY Athletics T-shirts.
Sophie Cunningham sent a loud and clear message after getting viciously booed in Canada
Sophie Cunningham put on her big girl pants and hard hat, and ventured into Canada for the first time in her life Tuesday night.
That’s right. Canada. More specifically, Toronto. What a patriot!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in October will start recognizing detransitioning — reversing gender “transition” mutilation — in official diagnosis codes for purposes of insurance billing and data collection.
Vice President J.D. Vance last week called for the jailing of medical professionals fraudulently using medical billing codes to get insurance to cover the castration and genital mutilation of children claiming to be “transgender.” But on the other side of that issue are the thousands of young people who were brutally maimed by predator doctors and have little recourse to try to reverse some of the interventions.
