I found out this morning when I tried to click through to an article from Twitter. It's possible that there is an innocent explanation and the site will be back soon, but in the light of Meghan Murphy's banning from Twitter and WordPress's suspension of GenderTrender, I'm not holding my breath.

I can't see it either and don't see anything on their Twitter or FB pages. Perhaps it's a DOS attack. It'd be horrifying if they've been forced down.

Oh dear.

I'm thinking more and more that we need to make sure we're connect and organise offline too.
Im already seeing a rise in local groups. Might be time for some more old fashioned zines/newsletters and telephone/email trees to share info too.

I wonder if it's a denial of service / hack or if the TRAs have got to the hosting provider?

Definitely this would be good. We need to be present online also though. We need to get our content onto hosting providers who have decent security and who won't bow to pressure from TRAs.

Just tried to access. No dice. So many activists in IT. Very frustrating, but we keep on keeping on. Surely not everyone in IT believes TWAW? There has to be some inner rebellion against the koolaid drinkers. The authoritarianism is bringing a backlash to social media platforms. Remember offline majority don't believe. We've gained attention in the media, had excellent speakers - they've had unintelligible word salad. It all counts. Have faith.

Still no access.....I hope it’s just a glitch as was bloody informative

Update: Good news. Meghan says that Feminist Current will be up again soon.

No but I think there are a fair amount who don't really care about women's rights. It's a very male environment in the main.

That is very good news.

Too late you fuckers. Even Piers Morgan is Meghan Murphy now

Seriously? Rushes to Twitter to check...

Someone catch me up please! Who is Megan?

Bittermints · 27/11/2018 16:39

Meghan Murphy is a Canadian feminist who runs the Feminist Current website. A voice of sanity in the Canadian wilderness.

welshgendercrit Piers Morgan (also Stephanie Arai Davies and Munroe Bergdorf) on Good Morning, here (once you get through the ads)

I’ve already got High blood pressure - will the clip kill me off?

welshgendercrit · 27/11/2018 17:38

Thanks, everybodypuuuuulllll Will watch with interest. I have to say Piers was in fine form on Twitter too, taking on all comers. Meghan Murphy is right. Being gender critical in these days brings us some unexpected allies.
