Trans Face of New Hershey’s Campaign Blasts ‘Transphobic’ Response
Matt Walsh accuses Fae Johnstone of being a “vile, woman-hating extremist.”
After a transgender activist was made the face of Hershey’s new campaign to honor International Women’s Day, commentator Matt Walsh accused the individual in question of being a “vile, woman-hating extremist.”
The controversy began after the candy company launched Canada’s “Her for She” campaign in honor of International Women’s Day on March 8.
The ad features Fae Johnstone, a transgender activist who is described as a “2SLGBTQUIA+ Advocate” (whatever that means).
“We can create a world where everyone is able to live in public space as their honest and authentic selves,” says Johnstone in the ad.
Happy to boycott Hersheys
The American people are sick and tired of having woke lectures shoved down their throats
We want chocolate, not Leftist propaganda

Social media users responded by blasting Hershey’s for having a biological male front their International Women’s Day campaign.
Commentator Matt Walsh went further, stating, “Johnstone, along with being a male, is also a vile, woman-hating extremist. This is the sort of person that Hershey’s has chosen to represent women.”
In a Twitter thread, he documented how Johnstone “was posting with hashtags like “gayboy” and “proud slut” and writing apologies for his “cis privilege” and for taking up “space” as a “queer” male,” before identifying as a female.

Johnstone then began lecturing his “cis allies” on how they should approach gender identity politics.

The activist also defended the infamous convicted transgender rapist Isla Bryson being sent to a female prison, while also calling for “militant” queers to rise up against their adversaries, demanding female critics be “vilified” and attacked until they are too afraid to “speak their views publicly.”
Hershey’s face of women also believes that his female critics should be “vilified” and attacked until they are too afraid to “speak their views publicly.” This is not new rhetoric from him.

Walsh insisted that Hershey’s should disavow this “radical extremist” who, according to Walsh, is “working for mandatory trans indoctrination of children in school and arguing against parental rights.”
The only acceptable response from @Hersheys is to disavow this radical extremist, remove him from the campaign, and apologize to its customers.

Predictably, Johnstone responded to the drama by labeling all his critics transphobic while disabling the ability to reply to his tweets.
The reaction to my inclusion as a trans woman in Hersheys Canada’s IWD campaign shows just how far we still have to go in the fight for feminist liberation and trans rights.
I’m not going anywhere. I’m not shutting up. I will always stand up for women and girls, cis and trans.
— Fae Johnstone, MSW (@FaeJohnstone) March 2, 2023
“I’m not going anywhere. I’m not shutting up. I will always stand up for women and girls, cis and trans,” said Johnstone, having failed to address any of the specific criticism leveled at him by Walsh.

AP Called Out For Claim That Target Staff Were Subject To “Violent Confrontations” Over Trans/Pride Products
AP stealth edits article after making claim that conservatives were responsible for violence against store staff
The Associated Press has been forced into quietly editing an article that repeated a statement from Target claiming that the company’s staff have been threatened, with the newswire adding a baseless claim that there have been “violent confrontations” over huge collections of ‘Pride’ and transgender themed apparel in stores, including some with Satanist imagery.
It’s been the story of the week. Here’s the backdrop…
As we highlighted yesterday, Target was clear in pointing out that it isn’t removing the stuff because it’s Satanist and pushing sexualisation and gender ideology on kids, but rather because they have “experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being.”
The AP took it further, however, claiming that Target has seen “intense backlash from some customers including violent confrontations with its workers.”
The report was altered without notification after it was challenged by Katrina Trinko, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Signal. While the confrontations claim remains, the word “violent” has been removed.
It now reads “Target said that customers knocked down Pride displays at some stores, angrily approached workers and posted threatening videos on social media from inside the stores.”
Pointing out the deception, Trinko writes “Again, what are the specifics? What is a threatening video?” further demanding to know “What constitutes angrily approaching a worker? How many customers at how many stores knocked down Pride displays?”
It appears that one video surfaced of one person taking a part of a pride display and throwing it on the ground, which prompted gay Democratic California State Senator Scott Wiener to label it “terrorism”:
Trinko comments that it is not acceptable “for Target and the media to imply violence if there in fact isn’t violence,” adding “That’s not a light accusation.”
Trinko also notes “Asked about why the word ‘violent’ was removed and no correction or editor’s note appended, and whether The Associated Press still believed the word ‘violent’ was accurate, Lauren Easton, vice president of communications, replied by email: ‘As AP continued to report out the story, we were able to provide more specific examples of the incidents that took place and we updated the story accordingly.'”
In other words, ‘our bullshit was called out and we tried to quietly memory hole it.’
Trinko continues, “insinuating conservatives are dangerous and a genuine threat to the safety of others is merely a new tactic for companies and ideologues impacted by conservative boycotts.”
“This is the Left testing out a new playbook. They’re frightened by what’s happening to Bud Light, which continues to grapple with massive declines in sales. Leftist activists know that having corporations side with them and promote leftist values is crucial to their long-term success,” Trinko further urges.
Meanwhile, a real (non-terroristic) boycott is impacting Target, with the company seeing a $9.3 billion decrease in market capitalization, as the value of its shares fell more than 12.6% in one week.
Conservative commentator Greg Price obtained an internal Target email that indicates the company is now desperately trying to shift away from one woke campaign, instead replacing it with another.
The email states “Yesterday was a very hard day for Target, and as CEO Brian Cornell said, thank you for the care you’ve shown each other, our frontline teams, and the LGBTQIA+ community.”
It goes on to state “Today brings more reflection, pain and the need for continued care as our team, hometown and world remember the murder of George Floyd.”
The rest of the email betrays how infested with woke culture the company has become:
“As you make space to take care of yourself and each other, know that you can always tap into these tools from Team Member LIfe Resources, and as Mental Health Awareness Month continues, turn to Take Five to Take Care hub for more wellbeing support,” it states.
Republican Senator Tom Cotton noted how Target initially doubled down on it’s Pride/trans/satanist merch, then attacked its own customers while quickly back peddling and pulling or scaling back the stuff.

Cycling Governing Body Bans Trans Competitors
UK National governing body will not let biological men compete in women’s races
The national governing body of cycling in the UK has announced a ban on transgender competitors taking part in women’s races in the country.
British Cycling says that the ban will come into effect by the end of the year, with a new separate ‘open category’ being introduced that anyone of any gender can compete in.
Chief Jon Dutton told reporters “We have taken a view that this is absolutely about being inclusive for all,” adding “We’ve created a new open category that anyone has the ability to ride in and also a non-competitive policy that is absolutely inclusive and accessible.”
“We will not tolerate any form of discrimination in moving forward with this policy,” Dutton added, further noting “it’s really important that we support, we empathise, we are compassionate to the riders that are affected by this policy change.”
The move comes following several trans cyclists dominating women’s events in recent months.
After biological male Austin Killips, won the women’s category of the Tour of the Gila bicycle race in New Mexico earlier this month, the world cycling governing body Union Cycliste Internationale defended its transgender policy, stating “The UCI acknowledges that transgender athletes may wish to compete in accordance with their gender identity,” and adding “The UCI rules are based on the latest scientific knowledge and have been applied in a consistent manner.”
Commenting on the move by British Cycling, trans competitor Emily Bridges called it a “violent act” and “furthering a genocide” against trans people:
Bridges has drawn criticism after setting records in men’s cycling before coming out as a transgender woman in October 2020 and beginning to compete in women’s events.
As we have documented (see links below), other sports have placed bans on trans competitors in women’s events, with legendary sportswomen including Martina Navratilova and Sharron Davies speaking out in support.
Navratilova and Davies both responded to today’s news:
