I don't think Gallus ever did revive GenderTrender, even just as an archive. I assume it would have been too difficult to reconstruct from what she had left. She'd also been keeping the site going for a long time - I think it was over 7 years by the time our lovely Yaniv finally got her. She'd gone through multiple doxing attempts, had to moderate shit tons of abusive comments every day, nearly lost the blog on several earlier occasions because of targeted harassment. I think she may have been at a point where she was ready to retire, and it was very well earned. That site did a similar job of consciousness raising and giving women and LGB people a space to talk about the TRAs and their antics, at a time when the discussion was happening absolutely nowhere else.

I stand corrected! Great to see that archive.

That MeowMix has survived on Wordpress since November despite repeated challenges from Yaniv may show that Wordpress learned a lesson after destroying the original Gendertrender, not that they'll ever admit it.
