Keffals and his sad little cult happened. While I disagree with a fuckton of things on KF, they've been very good in neatly putting all the evidence of several horrific trans identifying people and TRAs together. Bardfinn, thingie in the morning, that godafwul Irish Yeet the Teet butcher, Keffals...

Also, it seems Cloudflare used A DIFFERENT SITE as an argument to block KF, which is... Lolwhut? Anyway, KF is currently down again, the mirror I mean, and Null has a family emergency.

KF may fall (this sounds so incredibly stupid to begin with) but what Keffals and the cult doesn't realise, is that in itself is not a victory. Not only will similar sites appear and is most of the bullshit archived (bullshit they themselves posted online... Internet doesn't forget that easily), they will always fail offline. People still know your birth sexe, people are growing tired of the constant whining and bitching and cultlike behaviour and most people DO get outside and touch grass. Or pavement, whatever. TQ+ isn't that important for most people in their daily lives. They're fucking loud online but in the end: it's a rather small group. Most people have different things to worry about.

Do you think it will really be done for good? Trying to be the eternal optimist, sigh.

Josh is one determined weird fucker, so I don't think this the end of it. It's still online via TOR.

Lol. Your wording made me laugh, but as stupid as that phrase may sound, the pattern of sites like this getting shut down for dissenting against trans ideology is actually incredibly discerning. I think it's safe to say that many of us, most of us even, can't observe simple facts ("men can't turn into women" and vice versa) out loud for fear of losing our jobs or being harassed or socially shunned. So when even our online sanctuaries start getting censored and destroyed... it's chilling. Practically speaking, there isn't free speech on this topic.

I do agree it is worrying, don't get me wrong there. But I still believe the fear mongering some fell into (like someone believing the FBI arrested Josh? That was fucking weird) doesn't help.

What has been a problem for years, is stupid journalists claiming something is nEwS when three people on twitter say something. It is absolutely insane how trans became trending to begin with.

KF still isn't down, it is wonky as fuck but it is still there, so is Ovarit, mumsnet, we... It's not easy or fun. But all the info is still out there and the tide seems so be so ever slowly turning.

That being said: I need to stay optimistic.
