In August 2022, some far-right groups, TERFs and other bigoted people decided to target me and my Storytime events. They didn’t like the idea of me – a performer who wears a costume as a character – entertaining and engaging with children in a library.

Horrific abuse from them began ti infiltrate every part of my life – both in a dress and out – but it all reminded me about why I had chosen to present Storytime with Auntie Titania in the first place.

Thank you to everyone who had supported me – with your kind messages, inspirational words and coming along in-person to support me at a rally or event; like the huge event outside The Forum on 17th August 2022 and the other events around Norfolk.

Here is a list of links to media articles and interviews about the circumstance.
