Tutanota used to claim that you can sign up using Tor, but I tried signing up for Tutanota via Tor too many times to count. Only once did I get an email address, but then it didn't work. Nor did the recovery code they gave me, so now I've given up trying via Tor.

I also tried on the computer I have an expensive VPN on and Tutanota blocked that VPN.

However, (hypothetically - I haven't tried this because I've given up on Tutanota) if you have an old device, you can wipe it, go to a public wi-fi, sign up for Tutanota, then wipe it again. Then use Tor or a trusted VPN when you use Tutanota.

Proton Mail asked me for a phone # a few years ago, not sure what it requires now, but you can access Proton via Tor no problem. I don't use Proton Mail though.

I did a proton for a friend maybe six months ago without the phone number. Mine's a bit older (also no phone number).

Sometimes security options go more analog. Old school. If a signup can't be done through VPN, that's really strange considering that even Norton is bundling that now.

But still, Tukanota is now saying they get your IP but don't retain it.

Therefore you could go to a public library terminal or Kinko's or whatever and log on with not only their IP but the device's ID. If they did retain it, they now have info on some other wifi and device.

And if IP is the sole concern, you could just duck into Starbucks or McDonald's to use theirs.

I think it is a real shame that we are talking using these deep encryption tactics because of genuine political persecution. How can I see what's going on with WiSpa, women beaten in the street by these transactivists and not see this? The whole state of California now making it so that 300 TIMs can sachay into women's prison? There are only two women's prisons and only seven TIFs that have expressed ANY interest in transferring to a men's (they will renege on this interest guaranteed).

The raging helplessness I feel.

We lost the battle in mainstream SM years ago sister did we not. That is why we are here.

Blue states, the battle is lost. Anywhere liberal really has turned it over to the transactivists. It's like we're George Wallace yelling "segregation forever" if we don't want naked pulsating cocks of people we do not know next to the hot tub or doing hot yoga nude in our sauna.

And separately I told SO all about Laurel Hubbard yesterday. He REFUSES TO BELIEVE THIS STORY IS TRUE. He literally thinks it's just an Internet rumor because if it isn't then "the whole world is going to look at that and laugh!"

Well we've been counting on that since 2014, whereas the whole zeitgeist since has been to NOT laugh. Don't laugh at even the most ridiculous examples or how they act in the most ridiculous ways. And when you do, expect an army of cancel culture that might even infect your congress critters' office meaning that you can't send them a US Mail with a return address--which is the correspondence they tend to elevate. Nope now we have to have conversations about how to even get our message to you so you don't see us as Russian spam or worse.

At this point some radfems from r/gc would be like well wrongtoy, what does it come down to with you? Like this issue versus abortion?

Way it stands, some states have the nads to have enacted actual statutes saying some things are based on biological sex, not how you feel you would prefer to not be your biological sex. They are doing so especially around Title IX and sports. This is supposed to be an "originalist" court, and the original opinion was that discrimination be banned based on biological sex.

So I'm for anyone with that kinda power who can push that argument. Even though obviously we disagree on abortion. Other things.

Even if someone is 80, 90 percent right I will stand with the 10 and 20 when something is wrong. Like this.

I'm going with Maya Forstater's inspiring words (not sure if these are her exact words but close) "Be braver today than you were yesterday"

So I'm opening my big mouth all over the place, including to my elected officials.

All over the world, at this very moment, women are risking everything to speak out. Here in the US, calling some doofus member of Congress's office and telling them to piss right off about the Equality Act, somehow doesn't really seem to reach the same level of bravery, yet still many of us are silent.

And again, if you think that revealing your identity will harm you, do what is best for you! But for those of us who are FUCK THIS NOISE, I think it's time to scream.
