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

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

Oh well, I'll stick to MN.

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?

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.

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.

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 17:15

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.

seagreengirl · 01/09/2016 18:42

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

NickiFury · 01/09/2016 18:45

Apologies that I haven't been returning PM's, it's all been very unclear and I simply haven't had anything to tell anyone until things became clearer. There is a new group now and all explanations are on that group. However at this time for various reasons I can't add anyone.

Many apologies.

poorbuthappy · 01/09/2016 18:56

So how does one get an invite to the new group? (Stops self from saying mouldies....)

poorbuthappy · 01/09/2016 18:57

Just to say I was on the old group

Waffles80 · 01/09/2016 19:01

Same here - how do I get to new group?

NickiFury · 01/09/2016 19:09

I imagine you'll need to wait till the new admin decide who and how they're going to deal with membership

QueenSpartacusOfTheAndals · 01/09/2016 19:23

Could there not be an amnesty of say a day or so where you make the group closed yet visible so that those of us who want to can join?

ApocalypseSlough · 01/09/2016 19:24

Meh. I was active in the old group and got an invite to the new one. Then I left as it was already getting a bit hissy. I CBA tbh, the whole Transactivist, 'we're women you're c*s' is so ridiculous and any attempt to speak up just gets you slammed down as a vile bigot. I suspect it will burn out and why should I get grief and possibly alienate my friends and lose my job over it? I will continue to defend women's rights and safe spaces and keep my head down from now on.

WellErrr · 01/09/2016 19:30

Same Apocalypse.

poorbuthappy · 01/09/2016 19:33

Oh so how many different groups have there been?

trancer · 01/09/2016 19:37

I'm gutted!! Been in that group since it started, so many resources and information lost. If there is another group I would really appreciate a pm please.

kua · 01/09/2016 19:50

Eh?! I'm only aware of the one group and I was there from the beginning. Perhaps there were splinter groups/conversations but I was never truly aware of another.

NickiFury · 01/09/2016 20:18

How was it you came up with the name for the group wellerr? Just curious

livinginabox · 01/09/2016 20:57

Just noticed it's gone too. How annoying. Didn't post but was informative.

WellErrr · 01/09/2016 22:22

I was posting under a different name then Nicki - I think it was called women for women's sport first? And I suggested that that sounded like it should be just women fighting for equality, and thought that fair play for women's sports would be better, and it was changed. It obviously changed again, but the 'fair play' bit stuck

NickiFury · 01/09/2016 22:41

Oh I don't remember that but I don't suppose it really matters now.

SoTheySentMeA · 01/09/2016 22:48

If a new group is set up I'd appreciate a pm. Followed the posts from almost the beginning

WellErrr · 01/09/2016 23:20

It all happened on the group, not here. Just a bit of trivia!

lets not argue about it for goodness sake

APlaceOnTheCouch · 02/09/2016 11:41

I remember discussions round about the name of the group and whether to add women and girls to its title. . .
I'm disappointed that it's imploded and annoyed that the membership weren't informed of what was going on.
