Blogger’s Note: I have read a small number of books written by Trans-Gender Activists – all of whom adopt a far-left political attitude and perspective. I have also encountered one or two (White) Activists online who align with the far-right (perpetuating racist and antagonistic views against other minorities and vulnerable groups – including left-wing Trans Activists). The latter group conforms to the norms of White racism and has nothing to do with the former group. Trans-Gender is a subject that is treated with scorn by the mainstream press and media. There are never any positive stories – or stories requesting “help” for those in need. It is always toward the hurting and dismantling of the Trans-Gender Community. I cannot support this.
As I am “Red Army Adjacent” – I cannot let this stand. Just as Lenin abolished the anti-Gay Czarist Laws – I feel compelled to place myself between any vulnerable community and those who would attack it. It is ironic that a member of the far-right – who caused so much suffering to the Gay and Trans Community through his hateful words and actions – suddenly decides that he is one of this vulnerable group (who needs a special protection and consideration). A protection and consideration he himself withheld from others when he was free. As a “White” man – he is already privileged – now he wants exactly the same privilege as a “White” woman. Let him prove this “Road to Damascus” conversion – if that indeed is what it is. If it is – let him prove this change through the application of love, compassion, and wisdom to all beings in society!

A controversy has broken out in Germany about whether a trans right-wing extremist should serve a prison sentence in a women’s or a men’s facility.
In July 2023, Marla-Svenja Liebich was sentenced by the Halle District Court in Saxon-Anhalt to a total of one year and six months in prison without parole for extreme right incitement to hatred, defamation, and insult.
Liebich appealed against her sentence and lost.
At the time she was known as Sven Liebich. German media reports say Liebich used to be a member of a neo-Nazi group called Blood and Honour.
At the end of 2024, Liebich had her gender entry in official records changed from male to female. She also changed her first name.
The basis for this was Germany’s Self-Determination Act, which had just come into force and strengthened the rights of transgender people. The Act allows people to change their gender marker and first name through a simple declaration at a registry office, instead of a judicial ruling.
German media have questioned whether Liebich’s change was serious.
“Whether the change is serious is doubtful,” wrote Der Spiegel. “Liebich has been known for years for her right-wing extremist views and has also made queerphobic statements in the past.”
Liebich has taken legal action against media outlets for what she considers to be false representations of her gender identity.
A complaint against Spiegel to the Press Council was unanimously rejected by the Council as unfounded. Spiegel said the letter said it was likely that Liebich “made the change of civil status in an abusive manner in order to provoke and embarrass the state”.
Liebich will shortly begin her prison term.
The Chief Public Prosecutor in Halle, Dennis Cernota told German public broadcaster MDR in Saxony-Anhalt that Liebich would serve her prison sentence at the Chemnitz women’s prison.
Liebich confirmed this in a post on X. “I will begin my prison sentence as scheduled,” she said. “On August 29, 2025, at 10pm, I will arrive at the Chemnitz correctional facility with my suitcases.”
A decision on where to place Liebich will then be made at the start of incarceration. The chief public prosecutor said the prison administration would decide whether Liebich could pose a threat to security and order, which could lead to her transfer to another jail.
Meanwhile German media report that Liebich has recently lost another case, against journalist Julian Reichelt at Berlin Regional Court.
Reichelt, editor-in-chief of Nius, posted on X in July: “Anyone who follows the reporting on neo-Nazi Sven Liebich can only come to one conclusion: The traffic-light coalition government has managed, by law, to force almost the entire German media landscape to tell untruths and make grotesquely false claims. Sven Liebich is not a woman.”
Die Welt said the court’s Second Civil Chamber decided to reject Liebich’s application for a preliminary injunction, saying it was unfounded.

German neo-Nazi jailed for inciting hatred changes gender in bid to go to women’s prison

A bearded neo-Nazi thrown behind bars in Germany for inciting hatred has legally changed his name and gender in an apparent bid to be transferred to a women’s prison — because he’s afraid of “discrimination.”
Sven Liebich, 53, is serving an 18-month sentence in a men’s jail in Saxony after being convicted last year on a handful of hatred and defamation charges, local outlet Mitteldeutsche Zeitung reported.
But the right-wing extremist, who is in the process of appealing the sentence, recently opted to change identity and now goes by Marla-Svenja Liebich.
“I am afraid of discrimination,” the convicted felon said in a statement.
Despite the stunning twist in the case, the outlet noted that Liebich hasn’t changed appearance since the gender shift — and now even has a longer beard.
Liebich, who has ties to neo-Nazi party the Homeland and the far-right Alternative for Germany party, made the move in an apparent attempt to get moved to a female-only prison, according to the outlet.
Officials, though, say the legal change doesn’t guarantee a relocation.
“There is no automatic guarantee that a man will be sent to a women’s prison after changing his gender and name,” a spokesperson for the local prosecutor’s office said. “In each case, there will be an individual review.”
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Germany’s federal criminal register said Liebich’s gender change wouldn’t impact the extremist’s criminal record.
“The physical legal person remains. A change in the civil status law is of secondary importance,” the rep said.
Liebich’s gender shift came about due to reforms to the country’s self-determination law, which allows people to change their name and gender on official documents without undergoing a psychiatric assessment.
Authorities have previously described the inmate as a known “right-wing extremist.”
Liebich has also been pictured wearing Nazi-style armbands and taking part in rallies brandishing red, white and black flags, the outlet said.
