If you enter TransgenderTrend.co.uk you get redirected to Mermaids.com.

Some tech person bought the URL and did this in spite. (Please not may or may not have been someone at Mermaids themselves)

Their actual web address is
Transgendertrend.com but obviously they're not exactly funded by the hugely wealthy so they didn't buy the .co.uk domain as well as the .com. C
Mermaids and the AWA/TRA are laughing about it. These guys are so pathetic. There are so many of them in tech too...

That is shocking and quite scary. Shock

Michelleoftheresistance · 08/10/2019 14:50

It's honestly like having to deal with a group of unpleasant secondary school kids on a wet lunch break, who have reached the giggly/smashing things up stage. Beyond fucking tedious.

Ugh. creeps.

I wonder how the ICO investigation into Mermaids is going, following their leak of personal data?

glitte · 08/10/2019 14:57

Also how convincing. "Oh now I believe that penises can be female, you've totally made me think that nothing creepy is going on here." Grin

SarahTancredi · 08/10/2019 14:57

They have done it to save schools alliance I think.

Someones really scared. Videos in mine craft , buying email addresses, wonder why people are so worried...

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 08/10/2019 15:02

The .com is the important one

DickKerrLadies · 08/10/2019 15:11

I can just imagine the reaction if this was the other way round...

Whatisthisfuckery · 08/10/2019 15:20

Shouldn’t Mermaids have something to say about this? If any other organisation wa getting redirects from a web site purporting to be for another organisation surely they wouldn’t be happy?

Honestly, I can’t understand how anybody can look at Mermaids and their supporters and think what they’re doing is right.

Qcng · 08/10/2019 15:20

WYP would be knocking if it were the other way round.

Ah typical juvenile behaviour. Fearless keyboard warriors that they are. Such sophisticated levels of 'activism'.

It only proves the point that a lot of them are starting to worry that despite their efforts, it's getting harder to contain truth and facts.

Lies and propaganda do disseminate quickly and easily, especially in the age of social media, but truth and facts will always catch up one way or another. The slogans and slurs are wearing thin and the general public are getting exasperated by the sheer nonsense that is being peddled by the TRAs.

This

They’re a legitimate charity right? In receipt of public funds via the lottery. They should be above this sort of behaviour surely?

Aposterhasnoname · 08/10/2019 15:22

Someone has also bought drhartop.co.uk and redirected it to the peak trans website 😃

Qcng · 08/10/2019 15:23

From what I gather, Suzie Green thinks it's funny, and is denying direct involvement.

Oh tiz all so funny sterilizing kidz and hijacking domain names for my own personal gain tra la la...

Dr Harrop isn't exactly known to young gender confused youths or parents trying to help their children. I don't think he even has a website of his own at all. But ok, if it's like that,
Just for laffs

It's not going to cause as big an issue as a few years ago.

Not to mention hand in glove with govt, police, et al.

Yes, you'd think there was such a thing as public standards for such organisations, but due diligence seems to be something Westminster's dog ate a couple of years back. Oh for the days when politics involved people who'd reached actual emotional adulthood.

Given the impact that Mermaids' data breach had on families, Susie was quoted (quoting the newspaper) as taking the mistake 'extremely seriously'. It's concerning therefore if she finds this sabotage less than serious. Imagine a young person accessing TransgenderTrend and then being pushed onto a completely different site with its own MO.

Just a reminder of the breach, as quoted from the source:

CEO Susie Green uploaded the personal emails from parents to a public website

Parents have slammed is as a fundamental breach of trans children's privacy

Details about treatment, full names and telephone numbers were disclosed

Mermaids said it is taking the 'mistake' extremely seriously and is cooperating with an Information Commission investigation

Not sure if TT have the funds but is this a copyright issue?

I've a vague memory of people registering .com domains for names like John Lewis (as an example) to try to make money and it ending up in court cases. Hoping someone will be along with a better memory.

CaptainKirksSpikeyGhost · 08/10/2019 16:39

Well it's using the name of one charity to lead to another, so it's fraud.
