KF may fall (this sounds so incredibly stupid to begin with)

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.
