“Christina Buttons” is the pen name of Christina Berry, an American writer, former sex worker, illustrator, and anti-transgender activist who wrote articles for anti-trans publication The Daily Wire until 2023. Berry joined the anti-trans Manhattan Institute in 2024.

Background

Christina “Tina” Berry is reportedly “from a small town in Alabama” and grew up in the San Diego area.

Berry stated, “I received many diagnoses throughout my life, the most recent being Asperger’s syndrome at age 30.” Starting in middle school, Berry felt ostracized and reported the following problems that required therapy:

  • body dysmorphia
  • dermatillomania
  • insomnia
  • obsessive-compulsive habits
  • self-cutting
  • anorexia
  • major depressive disorder
  • trips to “emergency rooms, psychiatric hospitals, outpatient programs, and group homes”
  • monotone voice
  • “limited eye contact”
  • “flat affect”
  • “stumbling while walking and almost falling”
  • ā€œa large number of atypical perceptual experiencesā€
  • “social immaturity”
  • “significant inflexibility in her thinking”
  • “difficulty identifying feelings”
  • “tendency to express emotions indirectly and impulsively” 
  • “emotionally disturbed”
  • drug and alcohol use
  • groomed and raped at age 15 by a 47 year old

“After running away from two lower-security residential treatment facilities, flunking out of a wilderness program in Idaho, and several more psychiatric hospital stays, I arrived at my final destination: a lockdown psychiatric residential treatment center in Utah called Provo Canyon School, where I would live for a year.”

After returning home and getting a GED, Berry moved in with a romantic partner and began doing sex work. As a young adult, Berry appeared in pornography as “Rita Lovely” and “Cute Courtney.”

Berry worked at Moonbow Publishing as a contract illustrator, which began a turning point away from some of these earlier self-destructive behaviors.

Anti-transgender activism

Berry stated, “I became a journalist after discovering the stories of detransitionersā€”stories that deeply resonated with my own struggles with mental health and identity.”

After working for anti-diversity organization Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism, Berry worked at The Post Millennial in 2022 before joining The Daily Wire.

Berry plans to continue this anti-trans work with a book titled The Parent’s Survival Guide to Gender Ideology and a website genderdebunked.com.

In 2024, Berry joined the Manhattan Institute, which led to revelations about Berry’s work in hardcore pornography.

Over the course of this activism, Berry began a relationship with anti-trans activist Colin Wright.

2023 Daily Wire resignation

Berry covered transgender issues for The Daily Wire, switching to “Christina Buttons” after starting. In 2023, Berry resigned from The Daily Wire over its increasingly inflammatory anti-trans rhetoric, particularly that of Matt Walsh and Michael Knowles:

Iā€™m leaving The Daily Wire. I work hard getting the facts right and using precise language because of the heated nature of the gender debate, with so much at stake, while their pundits dump gasoline all over it for entertainment and clicks.

As an independent journalist I will continue my commitment to factual and rigorous reporting on gender ideology and pediatric gender medicine, with the goal of reaching people across the political spectrum. You can help support my journalism by donating.

Iā€™ve already begun receiving inquiries from left-wing publications to see if Iā€™ll give them dirt. As a company, The Daily Wire is a fantastic place to work, they treat their employees extremely well, their editorial team is top notch and everyone I have ever interacted with there is wonderful. I am leaving because I want to reach people on the center-left and lately Iā€™ve felt there has been a distinct increase in inflammatory rhetoric from some of The Daily Wireā€™s personalities that make it more difficult to accomplish that.

Why? I didnā€™t misrepresent their views. They made extremely controversial public statements, doubled down on them, and I left so that I could express my opinions on them. My loyalty is to the people who are trying to improve the situation with gender medicine, not inflame it.

I would never use the word transgenderism to describe gender ideology. It was either a sloppy choice from not having done enough research or it was intentionally meant to inflame. Most people believe that being transgender is the same as being gay. Thatā€™s why I expend so much energy trying to inform people on why ā€œgender identityā€ has no biological basis. Furthermore, ā€œeradicatingā€ gender ideology completely from all aspects of life is not realistic, nor attainable and amounts to conservative virtue signaling. We have to be specific about what ā€œgender identityā€ ideology is, where it came from, what the tenets are, where it should not be taught (K-12) or accommodated (sports, prisons, etc) otherwise you drive mass hysteria. Most reasonable people would agree with all of these points if they were given the opportunity to have them be explained.

I know her from college. This girl was and very likely still IS seriously troubled. She had a few break downs in front of us all at a classmates’ home, like people saw her do incredibly inappropriate shit that I will not repeat here out of respect for her. She then went on to do porn for a while (not kidding), then decided she wanted to move to Europe and got married to a Swiss dude only to dump him and run back home..THEN she reappeared wanting to be a microbiologist (or some kind of scientist) then moved on to illustration…my point with saying all of this is that she’s a lost grifter, clinging to anything that will get her love, admiration, and attention. I feel bad for her honestly, because she was always so sweet and kind… but not that bad anymore since she decided to align herself with fascists. I thought she was ok up til now. Bummer.

Barbara Kay is a Canadian writer and anti-transgender activist.

Background

Barbara Kay was born on November 27, 1943 and grew up in Toronto with siblings.

Kay earned a bachelor’s degree from University of Toronto and a master’s degree from McGill University in 1966.

Kay wrote opinion pieces for the National Post before becoming a columnist in 2003. Kay has also written for in The Post Millennial, Pajama, The Walrus, Canadian Jewish News (CJNews), and Epoch Times. Key briefly wrote for Rebel News in 2017 before leaving due to views held by some staffers.

Kay and spouse Ronny Kay married in 1964 and have two children, including anti-trans activist Jonathan Kay.

Anti-transgender activism

Kay opposed Canada’s Bill C-16, which added ā€œgender identity or expressionā€ to protected classes in regards to discrimination, hate speech, and hate crimes.

In criticizing the bill in the Post Millennial, Kay described it as “velvet totalitarianism” and misattributed a quotation to Voltaire: “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” The passage was actually by white nationalist Kevin Alfred Strom describing Jewish people.

Kay told publication Canadaland:

ā€œWith regard to the application of the quote to the Church of Gender Identity, I do not regret it at all, and here is why. The quotation makes a great deal of sense. The fact that an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist actually believed that the Jews ā€˜rule over youā€™ says a great deal about his twisted mind, but it does not reflect reality. I am neither a conspiracy theorist or a transphobic. My quarrel is not with trans gender people, who ā€” I have said this repeatedly ā€” simply want to live their lives in peace, but with the ideologues who are bent on imposing their belief system, founded in theory, but not in evidence, on everyone in the form of compelled speech and compelled expression of belief. The words of the quotation in fact make very good sense. That the mind who thought it up was corrupted by hatred to the point that he was delusionary about who ā€˜you cannot criticizeā€™ is not my fault.ā€

During a July 18, 2018 Rights and Freedoms Institute event, Kay used the phrase again to condemn gender neutral pronouns as “compelled speech” and “compelled expression of belief.”

Kay’s Facebook profile uses the anti-trans dogwhistle “Adult human Female.” Kay and anti-trans activist Linda Blade wrote the 2021 book Unsporting: How Trans Activism and Science Denial are Destroying Sport.

Meghan Daum is an American anti-transgender activist who got involved through the intellectual dark web.

Background

Daum was born February 13, 1970 in California. Daum earned a bachelor’s degree from Vassar College and a master’s degree from Columbia University.

The Unspeakeasy

Daum founded The Unspeakeasy in 2022 and is host of The Unspeakable podcast. Guests have included:

2021

2020

Daum co-hosts the podcast A Special Place In Hell with Sarah Haider.

Daum authored the book The Problem With Everything: My Journey Through The New Culture Wars.

Comments on Leelah Alcorn’s suicide

In 2018, Daum expressed what many felt was more sympathy for Leelah Alcorn’s unsupportive parents than for the dead teen.

“There’s no question that Leelah’s death and the circumstances leading to it are worthy ofā€”and, in fact, demandā€” public rage. But along with that rage should come compassion, not just for the Alcorns but for anyone who’s ever been slow to reach acceptance, or whose circumscribed worldview has clouded their understanding of somebody else’s experience.”

Natalie Wynn is an American cultural critic whose YouTube channel Contrapoints won a 2022 Peabody Award in the Immersive & Interactive category.

Background

Wynn was born on October 21, 1988 in Arlington, Virginia and grew up in nearby Vienna. Wynn’s parent William is a psychology professor at Georgetown, and parent Marian is a doctor. Wynn has two siblings who also went to Georgetown.

Wynn studied piano at Berklee College of Music, earned a bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University in 2012, and a master’s degree from Northwestern University, then decided not to pursue a doctorate. Wynn did gig work before becoming a video essayist in 2008. Wynn’s work is considered part of “BreadTube,” a loose affiliation of YouTubers who posted videos to challenge right-wing views on subjects.

In 2016, Wynn began the ContraPoints channel. In 2017, Wynn came out as trans and removed all pre-transition videos. In 2020 Wynn came out as lesbian.

Video essays

Wynn is known for criticizing a number of prominent anti-trans figures, including Ray Blanchard, Jordan Peterson, Megan Phelps-Roper, and J.K.Rowling. Wynn has also lampooned segments of the trans community, presenting humorous characters who represent various political factions.

Reuters is an AmericanĀ media organization. Their coverage of trans and gender diverse people has been generally fair and accurate.

Two notable exceptions came in 2022, when they presented the ex-trans movement and “detransitioners.” which they claim “have long been untouchable subjects” in a poorly framed investigation. The same authors had previously written on gender-affirming care for minors in a highly skeptical tone. Both pieces have been frequently cited by opponents of this care, including The Heritage Foundation, America First Policy Institute, and in a hearing on “The Dangers and Due Process Violations of ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Children.”

Al Jazeera is a Qatari media organization. Its coverage of trans topics is neutral to negative.

Background

“Homosexual acts” are illegal in Qatar, with punishment of up to three years in prison. Human Rights Watch reported in 2022:

“Security forces arrested people in public places based solely on their gender expression and unlawfully searched their phones. As a requirement for their release, security forces mandated that transgender women detainees attend conversion therapy sessions at a government-sponsored ā€œbehavioral healthcareā€ center.

A Qatari transgender woman, arrested by Preventive Security in public in Doha, said: ā€œThey [Preventive Security] are a mafia. They detained me twice, once for two months in a solitary cell underground, and once for six weeks. They beat me every day and shaved my hair. They also made me take off my shirt and took a picture of my breasts. I suffered from depression because of my detention. I still have nightmares to this day, and Iā€™m terrified of being in public.ā€”

The original Al Jazeera Satellite Channel (then called JSC or Jazeera Satellite Channel) was launched in November 1996. Al Jazeera English was launched in November 2006.

Al Jazeera has produced videos that are more balanced, allowing trans people to speak for themselves.
