Reduxx has learned that a British trans activist who has influenced gender policy in the United Kingdom and advocated for the medical transitioning of minors had previously lobbied for extreme pornography and sexual images of minors to be legalized.
Mallory Moore, 40, who also has used the alias Phoebe Queen and describes himself as a “feminist punk dyke witch,” is listed on public record as the Company Director of a blog called Trans Safety Network (TSN), through which he has been platformed by the United Nations (UN) and spoke at a 2022 conference alongside a Labour MP, Bell Ribeiro-Addy.
The TSN was also referenced as a resource by the largest LGBT lobby group in Europe, Stonewall, during a 2022 campaign against the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) in response to proposed alterations to the Equality Act which would strengthen women’s sex-based rights, including the right to single-sex facilities and services.
A statement from TSN published to Stonewall’s website said that policies which protect women-only policies “pose a serious threat to the human rights of trans individuals,” and that such protections are “institutionally unfit for purpose.”
The Trans Safety Network (TSN) was launched in 2020 as “a research collective exploring and analyzing institutional and organized harm against trans people in the UK,” and initially cited “misleading stickers being placed in public view” as a motivation for the group’s creation. Moore, along with other members of the TSN, frequently document and report stickers and signage they find “offensive” to trans people.
Moore has also documented some of these stickers, implying that they are illegal. Correspondingly, the TSN website claims the stickers are intended to “disturb the public into retaliating against trans individuals.”
Among the sticker designs targeted by the TSN are calls for single-sex restrooms in order to preserve privacy, and slogans such as the definition of “woman” as “adult human female.”
Disturbingly, Moore, who is a longtime practitioner of BDSM and a self-described sadist, is also a member of the Consenting Adult Action Network (CAAN), which has promoted extreme pornography and campaigned for legalizing sexual images of youth aged 16 and 17.
A statement posted on the CAAN site in 2008, the year it was created, criticizes legislation that was being considered by the government to criminalize the possession of pornographic content involving 16 and 17 year-olds, calling the amendment to the Sexual Offences Act 2003 “misguided and disproportionate.”
“This particular legal booby-trap is designed to create yet another area of uncertainty, where adults must risk being branded paedophile (or not) depending to whether they can always distinguish visually between a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old,” reads the CAAN statement.
“Adding to the Sex Offenders’ Register the names of individuals whose sole offence is that they are turned on by biologically mature human beings devalues the Register. It also provides an opt-out for genuine paedophiles, who can argue that if ordinary sexual interaction can land someone on the SOR, then whatever they did could not have been that serious.”
Writing for The Register in 2008, male trans activist Jane Fae, a leading figure in CAAN alongside Moore and Lewis, again raised the specific issue that the regulation had criminalized pornography involving 16 year-olds.
According to Stephen Ruddell of the Criminal Law Policy Unit, Fae emphasizes, “the age of the child – in respect of possession of indecent photographs of children – was raised from under 16 to under 18 in the Sexual Offences Act 2003. This change in the law meant that people had to consider and, if necessary, delete or destroy material which until then had been legal to possess.”
Worryingly, CAAN’s official social media account was offering support to notable LGBT activist Peter Tatchell, who has an extensive history of pedophilia apologism, and previously advocated for lowering the legal age of consent. In 1986, Tatchell contributed a chapter to a book compiled by Warren Middleton, former vice-chairman of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), arguing that laws criminalizing adults for sexually abusing children do more harm than the abuse itself.
One article penned by Tatchell and shared via CAAN’s social media argues that “smut actually saves lives” by preventing prostate cancer, and disparages critics as “moralists” and “right-wing feminists.”
“To justify their anti-porn crusade, the new puritans point to snuff movies, kiddie porn, rape videos, trafficked or coerced actors and degrading, humiliating images of women. Sure, this stuff is vile and wrong – and some of it should be criminalized to protect the vulnerable,” writes Tatchell.
However, he adds, “It is cruel and inhuman to deny isolated, disabled, overweight, ugly and elderly people the erotic fulfilment that porn can provide… jerking off is good for your health. Porno magazines and films that aid frequent masturbation are therefore indirectly helping save thousands of lives.”
CAAN has also called for the legalization of “extreme pornography,” which is defined in British law as “explicit pornographic content which depicts life-threatening sexual activities, bestiality, necrophilia, and any act “which involves the non-consensual penetration of a person’s vagina, anus or mouth by another with the other person’s penis or part of the other person’s body or anything else (rape or assault by penetration).”
Leading up to the implementation of legislation criminalizing possession of extreme pornography, CAAN called on supporters to send in “extreme pornographic evidence” in order to establish a database “to see if [the individuals in possession] are at risk of imprisonment and a listing on the Sex Offender Register.”
Yet while campaigning for extreme pornography, CAAN apparently neglected to mention the violent murder which motivated the change in legislation.
In 2003, British special-needs teacher Jane Longhurst was strangled to death by a man with an addiction to sadomasochistic pornography. Graham Coutts, who told the Old Bailey court during his trial that he had had sexually-arousing murderous fantasies about women since the age of 15, had been viewing extreme pornography the day before killing Longhurst by wrapping a pair of nylons around her neck.
Coutts, who had been dating Longhurst’s best friend, argued that the death was an accidental result of consensual sadomasochistic intercourse, whereas the prosecution asserted that he had raped Longhurst while killing her to “satisfy his very long-standing and perverted sexual interest in violence to women.”
A public Facebook group for CAAN members is run by three individuals: vocal trans activist and trans-identified male Jane Fae, a woman named Hannah Mantel, and Dennis Queen, the chosen name of a woman previously known as Clair Lewis, whom Moore has described as his “wife.” Moore is listed as a member of the Facebook group under the name Phoebe Queen.
Lewis, who has held the title of National Convenor for CAAN, is “an out practitioner of BDSM, and has been a polyamorist for 24 years now,” according to a 2017 Facebook post. In an earlier interview with campaign group Polyamory UK, Lewis advises readers to “challenge unfounded concerns” that may arise in a polygamous relationship, and to “allow love to control your behavior, not jealousy.”
In May of 2019, Moore posted to X that he was “pro-kink” and supportive of potentially life-threatening sexual acts in response to growing concerns of women being murdered during so-called “sex games.”
He wrote: “I’m pretty pro-kink and consenting adults doing potentially very edgy stuff. Misadventure during sex is one thing, ppl [sic] have died falling in the shower, they will die occasionally during sex games.”
In addition to his campaigning through the Trans Safety Network and affiliation with the Consenting Adults Action Network, Moore has repeatedly advocated for the medical “transitioning” of youth.
Crucially, Moore claims to have been involved in discussions which took place during an independent review of clinical practices surrounding medical “transitioning” of children and youth via hormones and puberty-halting drugs.
The Cass Interim Review, published in March 2022 and led by Dr. Hilary Cass, examined the “significant increase in referrals” for children and youth to the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. The report concluded that there were “gaps in evidence” surrounding children’s gender services, and highlighted potential adverse health effects of puberty-halting drugs, but also stated that “doing nothing cannot be considered a neutral act.”
Moore has condemned the Cass Review and the process involved as biased and “anti-trans,” and divulged that he had been present in meetings with Dr. Hilary Cass while the report was underway. He additionally framed concern around the medical transitioning of minors as a “moral panic,” and has stated that the “prototype transgender person was a trans kid.” Through TSN, Moore has also argued for autistic and disabled individuals to be permitted to undergo transgender surgeries and interventions.
Moreover, Moore was consulted by Europe’s largest LGBT lobby group, Stonewall, during recent updates made to statutory safeguarding guidance Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE). Nancy Kelley, the former CEO of Stonewall, said in her outgoing statement in July 2023 that altering the 2022 edition for KCSIE was one of her proudest achievements in the role.
Responding to Moore on X (formerly Twitter) in March 2022, after he stated that he had “accidentally crashed a properly academic meeting on hate crime research,” then-CEO Kelley remarked, “You are easily, and by about 1000 miles the most impressively well informed and thoughtful person I’ve heard speak on this topic, and I’ve heard 100s of professional researchers at all levels speak on it. You knock em [sic] out of the park.”
During the period that Kelley and Moore apparently shared a working relationship, the KCSIE guidance was amended to add a requirement for “LGBT inclusion” within Relationships and Sex Education and Sex Health Education (RSE) curriculum, to counter “transphobic abuse.” Currently paragraph 205 of the KCSIE policy directs readers to government RSE guidance that lists Stonewall’s own lesson plans for primary and secondary schools as the only resources on LGBT inclusivity.
In addition to having been involved in campaigning for extreme pornography and the medical transitioning of minors, Moore has repeatedly attempted to have events and individuals critical of gender identity ideology shut down or censored, and has a track record of displaying threatening behavior towards women who oppose gender identity ideology.
“I’ve been reporting conversion therapists to professional medical and therapeutic bodies in the UK for over 2 years,” wrote Moore in March 2023, referring to clinical specialists who offer young people alternatives to medical transition, a practice he condemns as “conversion therapy.”
Speaking in defense of a Scottish trans activist who has called for the murder of a female politician and was filmed screaming insults at women, Moore replied to women’s rights advocacy group Sex Matters, saying, “If you want to see extreme trans activism, make chanting in the streets illegal. When you take away legal recourse to resisting oppression, you leave us only illegal recourse. Be careful what you wish for.”
Moore can be seen in video footage shot just prior to his threatening remark following Sex Matters representative Helen Joyce down the street after she left a Manchester meeting on September 11.
