Alisha Aitken-Radburn is president of the USU (University of Sydney Student Union), which is currently threatening to deregister the Sydney University Evangelical Union from the Clubs & Societies program over the latter’s requirement that the executive officer must make a declaration of faith in Jesus Christ. If she successfully does so, they will no longer be registered to use University facilities or receive the financial support other groups receive.
The Evangelical Union is resisting administrative pressure.

Erica Baker
Erica Baker is a Slack programmer and diversity activist who supported the no-platforming of Curtis Yarvin at LambdaConf.
Says Slack programmer Erica Baker, a prominent voice for greater diversity in tech, "I think if there were more diversity in the staff for LambdaConf, it wouldn't even be up for discussion." Baker and other activists argue that hosting a speaker with Yarvin's views sends a message minorities are not welcome and reflects a broader trend of pushback against diversity in tech, which could accelerate the departure of people of color from the field.
Alison Bechdel
Famous for popularizing the Bechdel test (AKA the Bechdel-Wallace test]) in her comic strip Dykes to Watch Out For. The test claims that any movie which does not meet the following requirements is sexist:
1. It has two female characters in it,
2. that talk together about something,
3. other than a man.
Sam Biddle
Sam Biddle instigated "#HasJustineLandedYet" in 2013 against IACS PR Rep Justine Sacco by retweeting a self-deprecating joke she tweeted[1], causing her to be fired[2].
His response to the tweet ruined her career.
"No one cares that I was first but I will know I united black and white twitters. Welcome to post-racial twitter, you're welcome, god bless" — Sam Biddle (@samfbiddle)
He is also infamous for his quotes against Gamergate supporters.
"Ultimately #GamerGate is reaffirming what we’ve known to be true for decades: nerds should be constantly shamed and degraded into submission" — Sam Biddle (@samfbiddle) October 16, 2014 [3] (original tweet has been deleted)
"* Bring Back Bullying"
— Sam Biddle (@samfbiddle) October 16, 2014 [4] (original tweet has been deleted)
The above tweets caused the software company Adobe to pull their ads from Gawker Media.
Brennan Byrne
SJW CEo at Clef. Supported efforts to no-platform Curtis Yarvin at LambdaConf.
"Everyone I know who is not a white dude who has weighed in, has weighed in on the side of not supporting the conference," says Brennen Byrne, CEO and cofounder of Oakland-based cybersecurity startup Clef. He says programming conferences play a significant role in the careers of engineers, as they do for researchers and academics in other fields. For a startup like Clef, which makes explicit efforts to recruit a diverse staff, it's a problem if minority coders feel uncomfortable at conferences. "We know already that people are being pushed out of this career," Byrne says -- and if minority programmers don't feel comfortable at conferences, that will only contribute to such a trend.
Carpenter Brut
Composer of "Invasion A.D.", a song which was used on the well-known internet documentary With Open Gates: The Forced Collective Suicide of European Nations, created by a user of 8chan's /pol/ known as Gex.
Was against the usage of his song in the documentary, referring to it as "blatant lies"; was spectacularly proven wrong when the infamous Bataclan terrorist attack occurred in his native France the next day.
Tim Chevalier
Also known as: Marie-Christine Chevalier, Kirsten Chevalier, Timothy Jan Chevalier, Marie-Christine (Kirsten) Chevalier [1], catamorphism. There are probably others.
He is on the list because he is
a signatory of Statement to LambdaConf
engaged in an ongoing e-mail campaign to silence those who report his publicly stated political opinions[2].
So brave. He is also a proud 'transsexual man'[3].
"I'm a transsexual man, and I have opinions about sex, gender, and cisnormativity. Occasionally I write about them. Here's what I wrote in 2007 to announce my coming-out. My views have evolved since then; I'd summarize them now by pointing out that cissexual people get to self-report their gender without having to "prove" it by exhibiting their anatomy or genetic makeup, and averring that the same right ought to be extended to everyone.
"As a male programmer who has spent a lot of his life getting perceived as a female programmer, one of the accomplishments I'm most proud of is hosting/maintaining the Male Programmer Privilege Checklist for five years (originally written by Kake, extended by me and others). The current version of the Male Programmer Privilege Checklist resides on the Geek Feminism Wiki.
"For several years I was a regular contributor and moderator on geekfeminism.org and the Geek Feminism Wiki. I aspire to always speak and act with intersectionality in mind, knowing that aspiring is not enough and I'll often fail."

Arthur Chu
Arthur Chu describes himself as "a social justice stormtrooper". He is alleged to have been responsible for the bomb threat that disrupted the #GamerGate meetup in Washington D.C. on May 1, 2015.
"I wear black robes. I am a practitioner of the Dark Arts. I rigorously manage my own thinking and purge myself of dangerous 'unthinkable' thoughts - 'mindkill' myself - on a regular basis. This is what you have to do to be a feminist anti-racist progressive, i.e. a social justice stormtrooper."

Sabrina Rubin Erdely
On November 19, 2014, Sabrina Erdely published a Rolling Stone story alleging that members of the University of Virginia's Phi Kappa Psi fraternity brutally gang-raped Jacqueline Coakley. Upon investigation, this story turned out to be flagrantly untrue. In the meantime, members of Phi Kappa Psi "went into hiding for weeks after their home was vandalized with spray paint calling them rapists and bricks that broke their windows."
Rolling Stone eventually was forced to retract the story and Erdely apologized.
On July 29, 2015, three individual members of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity who had been named and shamed online after the publication of the story, filed a defamation suit against the magazine in New York City, stating that the published story, while not explicitly naming them, provided enough details for people to identify them.
The University of Virginia and Phi Kappa Psi have also filed lawsuits against Erdely and Rolling Stone.
Rachel Feltman
One of the main instigators of the shortlived controversy known as #ShirtGate, where acclaimed scientist Matt Taylor was viciously attacked for choosing to wear a T-Shirt that a female friend has tailored for him.
