Why worship the old gods when you can back the new rebels? My album 'Beauty After Bruises' is out now on iTunes, CD & vinyl. It's less 'Wonderwall' and more 'Wonder-What-The-F*ck-Just-Hit-Me'. Grab it at www.louisedistras.com

I fought the law, and I won! One year ago I first spoke out on the debate around ‘trans rights’ and the importance of protecting women's sex-based rights and single sex spaces because being a woman, and the experiences I’ve had because I’m a woman, are central to my life and my music.



Since speaking out publicly, I've been subjected to a sustained campaign of stalking, harassment, online abuse, legal abuse, defamation, de-platforming and was fired by my booking agent which meant I lost my livelihood as a musician. Some of this abuse has come from people personally connected to me who disagree with my ‘gender critical’ views.



I'm buzzing to say this legal case has now been concluded with no allegations being upheld by the police or the courts, and no findings of wrongdoing have been made against me. I won!



Thankyou for having my back every step of the way and supporting my legal costs the best you can because you believe in me, the truth and reality. Thankyou Freedom in the Arts for kickstarting my fightback. Thankyou Rayden's solicitors for the brilliant lawyer-ing which steered the ship, and thankyou to my feminist rockstar barrister Lucy Masoud (Womans Place) for representing me at trial.



You've all helped me to take back my voice, my music and freedoms from these monsters who are so desperately trying to steal our lives away from us. I could not have done this without you, and I'm grateful forever.

The only thing left to do now is go to the pub and get pissed. Cheers! 😘🥂

Thanks to all who understand what despicable shit I'm dealing with and thanks for supporting my legal costs the best you can. I'm forever grateful to have such a fabulous army of angry lasses and lads fighting my corner with me. We've just hit 60% of my stretch target but there's still a long way to go, so I'm asking for your continued support to help me win my trial in April. Every £ and share makes a huge difference. Thankyou 🙏 www.crowdjustice.com/case/louise-distras-legal-cam…

Help me win my trial! Last year my life and music career was turned upside down after I was accused of being transphobic and subjected to a sustained campaign of harassment, stalking and malicious communications. Now I need to raise £30,000 for the legal expertise to fight a private trial in April 2024, which will engage arguments about my personal rights to exercise free speech and express personal opinions in my musical and artistic work. In the past 12 months I’ve found myself in a very frightening situation, but I've refused to give in to bullying and I'm determined to keep making the music I want to make and that people want to hear. Thank you for all your messages of support and if you can make a contribution, ta very much for your generosity. www.crowdjustice.com/case/louise-distras-legal-cam…

We're back on the topic of Gender Critical, trans, gender and J K Rowling with Louise Distras, a punk singer who is supposed to rage against the machine. But when she spoke out and refused to say trans women are women - expressing her gender critical views - the world came tumbling down around her. Everyone from her agent to her music platform came down on her, and she was arrested. This is her story.
