Advice neededsafely starting a gender critical website
Ive been floating starting a specific resource website for a while, but have been wondering how you keep yourself safe, and the site online, given how motivated trans activists are to get this information taken down.
I have some web development and coding knowledge, and have managed the web presence for a few places I've worked for. I would normally feel confident starting something, but the safety issues have given me pause.
Are there web hosts that are better for free speech reasons, that won't take your content off the web if people complain, or wont rat you out to their trans tech friends? I know some hosts advertise themselves this way, but I dont know if all are reliable or if their claims are true. There are a few located in countries in the EU, where Im not sure if they would be legally obligated to treat GC views as hate speech.
I know you shouldnt put your name on the domain registration, and many people use a company to hide their details, how do you do this?
How do you pay for everything without your payment details potentially outing you to bad actors, in the companies you are using? Will I have to start buying bitcoins... lol
How do you protect against DDoS attacks and hacking attempts, if you are inexperienced with cyber security? Is cloudflare still trustable after the kiwifarms debacle?
Can you trust third party software, things like Wordpress used to build websites, databases, blogs, eCommerce sites, etc.? It seems like they could cancel your ability to use their services, if they didn't like what you were doing, even if you hosted on your own servers. Should I go totally open source on all of this, are there third party software out there that is less likely to cut me off?
How do you handle legal claims, if say you have a resource that reports on trans issues, about defamation or hate speech? What if someone makes a false copyright claim, because you quoted the content of something they wrote, or idk used a photograph they had taken as a headshot to identify the subject of an article? What if it's an international claim? Should I have a lawyer? Ive never had to hire a lawyer for anything and dont know how that works, especially about a topic like this.
How much money should I expect to run a basic website, say something that compiles links to GC writings, or a lesbian centered resource educating about trans issues? Given that there are extra security and hosting considerations. I'm not talking about something that is hosting huge files like video, or running a lot of code or storing crap tons of data (i.e. a social media site like ovarit).
Are there any guides generally about this sort of thing? Like maybe ones for people online under repressive governments, or anonymous reporting, that kind of thing. Has anyone successfully done this before themselves, and are willing to give advice?
They cope by not recognising they are feeling dissonance, only discomfort; and projecting on to their enemies.
Logic? Consistency? Connection to reality? You're asking too much of these people.
Looool, this was funny.
They are men. They don't have to prove anything. They say the words, and it becomes truth. That's how you know they are men.
They don't have to, because they're fucking stupid. They don't think about the contradiction at all.
They insist that taking estrogen will make them female on a cellular level, and magically remove those billions of XY chromosomes in those billions of somatic cells. They've seen too many shows like The Incredible Hulk where people are shapeshifting after they get mad or drink some potion.
It's magical thinking and a fundamental refusal to understand that male and female are two separate developmental pathways, starting at the moment of conception, that cannot be reversed. Total dishonest thinking because they have no rational or scientific arguments in their favor. They want to enforce rigid gender roles by forced sex changes. That's homophobic. That's what they do in totalitarian Muslim countries.
Mammals cannot change sex and gender is bullshit.
