Johanna Adrianna Wolf, aged 35, identifies as transgender and is an activist for transgender rights. Born male and named Jonathan Adrian Wolf before his legal name change, Mr Wolf has prominently campaigned for men who identify as women to be granted lawful access to women’s and girls’ sex-specific accommodations, including restrooms, locker rooms and public showers.

Prior to his decision to identify as transgender and adapt a feminine name, Mr Wolf was convicted of the 2006 rape of a hearing-impaired 20-year-old woman in Red Willow County, Nebraska.

While advocating for transgender rights, Johanna Wolf operated numerous personal Facebook accounts under several names. Aside from his past and previous legal names and varying combinations of the two, the names Mr Wolf has used on Facebook include Hannah Knipsel, Hannah Hartmann, and Johanna Von Luck.

Keen observers will notice that all of Mr Wolf’s chosen names, legal and otherwise, are derived from the names of Nazis. For example, the historical figure Johanna Wolf was Adolf Hitler’s chief secretary. Kurt Knispel was a soldier in the German army who was credited with destroying 168 tanks of Allied Forces (Soviet, British and American) during World War II. Erich Hartmann was Nazi Germany’s greatest fighter ace pilot. Hans von Luck was a colonel in the Nazi Germany armed forces.

Transgender advocates have often represented the gender identity movement as loving and progressive, and tarred all disbelievers as hateful, white supremacist, alt-right and outdated. However, much of the transgender community stubbornly stands behind Mr Wolf, a convicted rapist who appears to harbor Nazi sympathies, espouse anti-women bigotry, and gaslight and harass women concerned about safety and privacy in traditionally sex-specific public accommodations.

According to Mr Wolf, his parents spent $25,000 on his legal defense in the rape trial. This allowed Mr Wolf to escape a prison sentence, although he was ordered to register as a sex offender.

Johanna Wolf currently resides in Seattle, Washington. Repeated searches for the names Johanna Wolf and Jonathan Wolf in the Washington State Department of Corrections and Kings County Sheriff’s Office sex offender databases have failed to produce results. This seems to indicate that Mr Wolf did not register as a sex offender when he relocated to Washington. It is unclear whether Mr Wolf is still require by law to do so.

Mr Wolf is an employee at Amazon, where he works as a Software Development Engineer II with the Alexa team.

UPDATE

What may be a copy of Mr Wolf’s sex offender registration in Washington has been found on rapsheets.org. It is unclear why the convicted predator does not have an active listing on Washington sex offender registries at this time.
