An ideology which actively promotes
- Denying access to therapy following trauma
- Sterilisation of girls
- FGM
- Destruction of healthy breast tissue
- Allowing men unrestricted access to vulnerable females
is misogynist.
Trans ideology HATES women and girls.
A group of women, including survivors, objected to games glorifying rape, incest, extreme sexualised torture and violence against women.
@CollectiveShout called on gaming platforms to take them down, and when they didn't, we wrote an open letter to payment processors, who then required gaming platforms to update their policies and no longer host these games.
As a result, thousands of men who are angry about losing their rape games, have subjected us to an onslaught of misogynistic abuse, rape and death threats. They have sent us porn + CSAM, turned our images into porn, made threats against our families, expressed their desire for our deaths or suicides, published details about our small team of women and asked Grok where we live and where we get coffee.
Despite this, the dominant narrative has been that we deserve it. That we – while on the receiving end of threats to hunt us down and kill us – are the aggressors. That women are responsible for men’s violence and abuse against us, and we should keep our mouths shut about rape and sexualised violence against women.
These men reveal their true natures in their abuse of women who they disagree with.
This has been a campaign of extreme misogyny waged by men who want to silence women who call out men’s violence against us. Whatever your views might be on gaming or our campaign, there is no denying what we’re experiencing right now is male violence against women.
**Giggle v Tickle details**
The appeal hearing is from Monday August 4 to Thursday August 7 in the Federal Court in Sydney.
It will be live streamed on the Federal Court YouTube.
If you are watching the live stream, you are bound by the same rules as the people in the courtroom. NO photos or filming. This means NO screen recording. NO posting images or footage onto social media. Anyone who breaks these rules can be held in contempt of court.
Also, as what happened last time when a TRA screenshot me in court, posted the image on X & mocked me, the federal court can just pull the live stream if rules are broken.
If you are physically coming to the hearing, it is limited seating & on a first come first serve basis (although you can sit outside the room & listen). Monday’s hearing begins at 10:15am. I would suggest arriving early, in the vicinity of 9:30am. Again, no photos, filming or speaking in the court room.
All I ask is everyone be respectful of the process - law is convoluted & often simultaneously quite boring, as it should be.
Once again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much for the support. I’m stressed, anxious, exhausted and optimistic.
There isn’t a woman in the world who would have to take me to court to gain access to a female only space. It takes a man for this case to exist.

My video on Pros & Cons of the Copper Coil went viral (1.1M views) but the reoccurring question was why I didn’t mention excruciating pain on insertion??
This is because the BIGGEST CON is: we as women have accepted pain as part of our biology and our gynaecological procedures AND therefore #painreliefoptions are not offered or equipments are not developed for more comfort
Insertion pain is SO accepted, so normalised & entrenched that we never question the concept of needing painrelief, better equipment and better training
We must never accept PAIN as a given on a device insertion BUT demand better

🚨 For Women Scotland have entered the chat – and they’ve brought receipts. In a written intervention to the Peggie tribunal, they’ve politely but firmly reminded everyone (including the KC for NHS Fife and the judge) that words have meanings. Specifically, “man” means male, and yes, that includes Dr Upton under the Equality Act. No GRC magic changes that.
NHS Fife tried it – claiming the Supreme Court ruling was just about public boards. The judge called the law “a hypothesis.” FWS calmly pointed to paragraphs, page numbers and precedent. The UKSC says what it says.
Their message? You don’t get to re-litigate constitutional law mid-hearing because it’s awkward. If the tribunal fudges this, the ruling is wide open to appeal.
Huge credit to FWS for holding the line with clarity and courage. Sometimes being the grown-ups in the room means quoting paragraph 264.
We are very pleased to hear that Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson has been confirmed as the next Chair of the @EHRC – thank you to @bphillipsonMP for her due diligence on this & congratulations to Dr Stephenson!
We look forward to working with her & the @EHRC

Goodbye Allan. You were a pioneer of great children's literature, both in picture books and poetry. You were clever, funny and wise. My children loved your books. So did and so DO I.

@JeanHatchet@LancsPolice Disgusted. Surely “proportionate and reasonable” wouldn’t leave bruises? Easier to swallow if police consistently clamped down on, for example, TRAs causing so much disruption women can’t speak and assaulting women as they try to leave. I guess stopping that is not ‘necessary’?
@ShenaLewington @johncosgrove405 In my experience, often no work bc the boredom is part of the corrective lesson. Face front, no resting head down, no looking around, no interaction, set toilet breaks, no help bc one teacher is there to enforce rules not support children. It’s neglect not discipline. It’s abuse.
@johncosgrove405 I say further that the judge is an ass for saying “good practice” allows this. It is contrary to everything I learned about Child Development, Children’s Voice and Children’s rights as a Teacher. As a parent I know it amounts to torture for some. I’m profoundly shocked.
@rapeganginquiry Systematic rape/SA *is torture. This is more: A calculated, destructive violence; specific and deliberate sexual and violent torture of girls. Not a loss of control, nor a lack of care but a plan to inflict maximum pain, fear and damage. The survivors deserve every good thing.
@AnnOlivarius It must be an editorial choice at this point, which begs several questions.
Paedophiles use the language of consent and agency in contrary ways when grooming victims, and when trying to justify crimes. Surely journalists should want to avoid such language?
