Hi all,

I've been a member of that page since it started and have read almost every post.

I've made the occasional post myself, but have used the resources, e.g. Magdalen Berns videos and essays by purple sage fem etc to discuss the issues with others, often successfully.

I'm very sorry to see that I've been blocked and can no longer access the page. I can only assume that it is a mistake as I definitely haven't done anything to harm the group.

Please could one of the admins message me so I can be added again.

Thanks

Oh, just found this thread, I was wondering what had happened.

MrsTerryPratchett · 01/09/2016 17:15

It wasn't PMs but a different group that alerted me. You weren't missed out Well they're just seeing what can be done, if anything.

Quite fucking angry that it all turned People's Front of Judea. Bloody typical.

WellErrr · 01/09/2016 17:12

Well I've still had no pm and I've been there from day one when there were about 12 members and we had no name. I came up with the 'fair play for women' bit actually.

But I had taken a little break lately so no idea what's been going on.

MrsTerryPratchett · 01/09/2016 17:09

Sounds like an enormous clusterfuck but I hear that there's moves to try to restart so we shall see.

MyCatIsSparticus · 01/09/2016 15:47

Why didn't the admins step down? It all seems very childish to destroy people's threads over some spats.

AuntGertrude · 01/09/2016 12:43

I find it disappointing that there were hundreds of members and no-one is taking the responsibility to let those members know what happens now or if and where there is an alternative venue. Where does all that interest and energy and activism and locus of support go? Basically, why is there (more or less) radio silence?

AllMyBestFriendsAreMetalheads · 01/09/2016 12:06

That's a shame, I found it really interesting and informative.

Oh well, I'll stick to MN.

FirstofherName · 01/09/2016 11:56

I agree PP and I'm not sure why it resulted in the whole group being shut down. There was some good information shared there.

user1471098628 · 01/09/2016 11:53

It was a disagreement among the admins.

Really? All that work into getting the group up, keeping us all safe, sharing the info, supporting each other. Gone on a disagreement. Could someone not have took one for the team and stepped down?

TAs and MRAs must be laughing their arses off at us. Feminist groups are all about men, and the secret safe groups that aren't can't even run themselves.

AuntGertrude · 01/09/2016 10:31

I would like to join anyway.

FirstofherName · 01/09/2016 09:35

Yes but apparently there's a new group. I'm not sure I want to rejoin though, given how many admin spats there were in the short history of the original group.

AllMyBestFriendsAreMetalheads · 01/09/2016 09:15

So the group has gone?

FirstofherName · 01/09/2016 08:51

Without giving too much away, it seems the reason for the deletion was not to do with any trans activists invading the group, or Facebook deciding it was transphobic. It was a disagreement among the admins.

Nibledbyducks · 01/09/2016 08:39

I'd still like to know what's going on?

7Days · 01/09/2016 06:20

I would like a PM too please

AuntGertrude · 31/08/2016 23:13

I could see the name of the page when I did a FB search this morning but now it doesn't turn up at all. I feel gutted that it seems to have vanished with no explanation.

WanderingNotLost · 31/08/2016 22:28

Noooo, where's it gone? It still comes up when I search, but then I get a 'the page you requested is unavailable' Sad
Will PM Nicki

AuntGertrude · 30/08/2016 22:40

Ah okay - I will try that. I didn't realise you couldn't PM from a tablet.

SoHairy · 30/08/2016 22:37

I think NickiFury may be on a tablet and unable to PM so you'll have to PM her so she can reply, rather than wait for a message.

AuntGertrude · 30/08/2016 22:05

I haven't received a PM as yet.

user1471098628 · 30/08/2016 22:04

Ah, just read the second page of this thread. Panicked a bit there.

Still, hope all can be sorted soon. I know some serious work went into that group, not just discussion but checking we weren't letting in people who shouldn't know real names etc.

user1471098628 · 30/08/2016 22:02

I just realised this and panicked. We safe? Or do we have an outsider?

NickiFury · 30/08/2016 21:22

I've answered all PM's about an hour ago Smile

WellErrr · 30/08/2016 20:48

Has anyone heard anything yet?

Waffles80 · 30/08/2016 20:47

Could I have a PM too, please?
