Once known as Ava
Back in December 2018 I did a post about Julia Beck, who was pushed out of Baltimore LGBTQ Commission’s Law and Policy Committee at the instigation of a trans-identified man. This man:
Ava Pipitone, a male trans activist who dates women and identifies as a “female,” “lesbian,” and “transbutch.”
Well guess what.
A male who identified as a lesbian and had the sole lesbian representative removed from Baltimore’s LGBTQ Commission while pushing lesbophobic sentiment in 2018 has quietly detransitioned.
Kodah Pipitone, once known as Ava, was instrumental in having lesbian advocate Julia Beck kicked off the commission and shunned as a “TERF”, then sponsored an event in which he advertised that “exclusionary” lesbians would be “hung [sic] by their necks.”
…
In 2018, then going by the name ‘Ava’, Pipitone was both president of Baltimore’s Transgender Alliance and an advocate for the global pimp lobby, the Sex Workers Outreach Project. In order to make the LGBTQ Commission as “inclusive” as possible, Pipitone was invited to their meetings by Mayor Pugh.
At a Pride parade in June of 2018, Beck marched with signs that read, “Dykes Don’t Like Dick”, “Lesbian NOT Queer,” and “Violence Against Lesbians is an Epidemic,” among other slogans. According to Beck in a piece she wrote for AfterEllenon her experience, “Bystanders cheered, clapped, and took pictures with us. Some whispered thanks while others shouted, ‘Go home TERFs!’ Twitter blew up trying to find the notorious dykes who crashed Baltimore Pride. I was doxxed and multiple friends, including one woman who was not a part of the protest, received threats.”
Beck’s statements at Pride prompted criticism from her entirely male colleagues on the Commission. During a meeting which took place that month, Pipitone asked Beck point-blank to identify his sex. She responded, “You’re male,” to which Pipitone replied by accusing Beck of violence. Over the course of the next few months, Pipitone actively campaigned to have Beck removed from her position.
But that was then. It’s not 2018 any more.
But Instagram posts by Pipitone show that he no longer identifies as a lesbian woman, having quietly detransitioned. Instead, he now advertises himself as a techno-futurist, tagging his selfies “biohacker” and advertises his desire to “reverse engineer age.”
Julia Beck slammed Pipitone in a recent Facebook post after having discovered he’s dropped his ruse, claiming that he’d “traded one cult for another.”
Having been a victim of Pipitone’s temporary venture into her identity, Beck said, “It’s fine to find yourself in life. If only the process for men like him didn’t involve traumatizing women or pretending to be one.”
And it doesn’t sound as if he’s bothered to apologize to her.
If you can identify out of your oppression, you don’t belong to a protected category.
He didn’t find being a gender tourist to be fun anymore.
I don’t see any links to Reduxx, which Google shows is the source for the two lengthy quotations: https://www.reduxx.org/post/violent-trans-activist-who-kicked-lesbians-out-of-pride-orgs-quietly-detransitions
Alternatively, he could transition back and forth for the rest of his days; like playing ping-pong with himself. Or leaving out the ping-pong entirely and just playing with himself. Whatever floats his boat.
Well said Sastra!
You see, this is simply more grist for the mill. At least in some quarters, “Ava”‘s detransition will be taken not as evidence that gender ideology is a metaphysical house of cards, but that society is so transphobic that a trans woman was forced back “into the closet” after coming out as her authentic self. Genderism can never fail, it can only be failed.
Dude @ 3 – thanks, fixed.
“Lesbophobic” is good messaging. Good way to reach progressives who want to be inclusive, but haven’t thought through all the implications of the trans dogma.
Ha! Someone should interview him! I notice that as Ava he has no new posts since last year and now shows up as Kodah in the new year, with very few followers. I wonder how he would respond if he was widely outed as detrans? In his new Twitter, he make absolutely no mention of his old identity, but he has not deleted the old tweets.
Huh. I see in the old one he says “Hello, Self” with a link to his Kodah instagram, so he’s already “outed” in some sense. It can’t be all that widely because he’s not exactly a huge presence. In short, nobody cares.
