Sophia Moermond, a former WA MLC, courageously championed women’s sex-based rights, organising the 2023 Let Women Speak event in Perth to defend female-only spaces. Initially with the Greens and later the Legalise Cannabis Party, she faced cancellation from both for her sex-realist views, including her stance against "gender ideology"’s impact on women’s safety. Moermond’s bold advocacy, despite political repercussions, inspires women to stand firm for truth and fairness.

Notable allies like Peta Credlin, Rita Panahi, and Senators Pauline Hanson, Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, and Claire Chandler amplify these issues, reinforcing the fight for women’s safety and dignity.
All the Anonymous Women
Those above are some prominent women who, for one reason or another, have become well known. Behind them stands an army of women (and some men), many of whom have no choice but to remain anonymous. A key factor in this fight is that sex-deceptionist men target women. They are afraid of other men and rarely, if ever, attack them. A huge part of their fetish is to transgress and to witness women’s fear, distress, and horror. Every single one of you is just as important - never forget that.
