"Pride before Fall"

I'd suggest a "walkback" badge. There are some companies that immediately fire and apologize when an employee tries this. Others quietly drop it when it backfires but never issue an apology.

I like this idea. Slight tangent incoming, but I'll keep it brief.

Back in the day, scientists couldn't figure out how ATP (the substance used for energy in your cells) was created in mitochondria. In the early '60s, biochemist Peter Mitchell came up with a hypothesis that it was the movement of charge across the inner mitochondrial membrane that allowed the generation of ATP. This went against contemporary understanding and seemed a bit batshit to his peers, so naturally they didn't accept it. It was still controversial when Mitchell won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in '78, but the weight of evidence was on his side and, one by one, his dissenters admitted defeat. Mitchell, in true KF style, kept a list of the names of his colleagues and the date they admitted he was right.

By the mid 1970s, most of the field had come round to Mitchell's point of view-Mitchell even maintained a chart showing the dates when his rivals 'converted', to their fury even though many molecular details still needed to be worked out, and remained controversial. Mitchell was sole recipient of the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1978, another source of acrimony, although I believe his conceptual leap justified it. He had been through a personally traumatic decade, fighting poor health as well as a hostile bioenergetic establishment, but lived to see the conversion of his fiercest critics. In thanking them for their intellectual generosity in his Nobel lecture, Mitchell quoted the great physicist Max Planck-a new scientific idea does not triumph by convincing its opponents, but rather because its opponents eventually die.' To have falsified this pessimistic dictum, said Mitchell, was a 'singularly happy achievement.'
From this book (Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life - Nick Lane).

Fun side fact: Dr Mitchell also ran his own dairy farm and minted his own silver coins. link/archive

Some weeks ago, inspired by Mitchell and holding onto the last shred of hope I have for humanity, I was considering starting such a list of politicians/companies/slebs and so on and the date that they admit/walkback their TRA bullshit. I think it would fit in with the walkback badge idea, with dates.

Consider writing the website in such a way that you might later attract TERF writers to boost its popularity. No need to assume that because of the association with KF, it will be too toxic to touch. The local GCs could spread the word on Mumsnet, or write some Substack, or on Ovarit, feminist Reddits etc., and even though controversial, I am sure your allyship will be eventually accepted if presented in a more neutral manner. Each boycott item could have various opinions and explanations from writers. Hopefully bigger ones.
Katie Herzog, and your furry employee who reads this site, whatcha saying?

I posted about it in another thread but Scholastic one of the companies that pretty much all children get exposed to in school via book fairs and shill sheets is a supporter of putting out many of the more insane trans books for kids. Scholastic caters towards elementary school children mainly.

Scholastic is the main source of books for educational settings and supports stock for school book sales as well as sends out mailers to be given to children to purchase books at a lower cost. They also run reading events where children can obtain small toys, posters etc. Teachers are also able to set up a scholastic version of GoFundMe to offset prices of buying resources from Scholastic. There are even accompanying handouts and posters for children such as the gender unicorn. There also is now the GenderBread curriculum that is being put towards kindergartners and younger children.

This is what they now put in their books:

One of the main author's they are HEAVILY pushing into curriclum is Alex Gino.

The documentation aspect of this is very nice. It reminds me of the google products that were killed website. Like others said though, Hugo seems like to would be too limiting. Is it going to be like a blog or more like dashboard with fancy interactive graphics?

My guess is Nool is going for simple flat files to reduce the risk of a Layer 7 DDOS that's targeting the infrastructure. It's really easy to serve static HTML and CSS and Javascript and images as fast as your network connection can take them, adding any sort of interactivity requiring server side support like a database or search function starts to open you up to a whole set of attacks.

Seems like a 'wiki' but with a pre-screened list of contributors. Maybe something like a super secret git instance with the contributors given ssh keys so they can push content. Maybe a private GitLab or similar to allow pull requests and a pretty GUI for the contributors.

Is Jekyll still a thing for static content generation? I used to use that on fairly substantial projects a few years back.
 
If you need some companies to get you started, https://onemillionmoms.com/current-campaigns/ has a fair number of petitions for troon issues - Adidas, Target, Maybelline, etc. They do something vaguely similar where people sign up for email alerts to sign their petitions. It's a part of the American Family Association though, so a lot of it is just general anti-woke stuff.

There are some client-side search options in the Hugo docs. I don't think it's really possible to do it with no js, but lunr.js will do the work client-side so it should not open up too much of an attack surface for DDOS. https://gohugo.io/tools/search/

Will it use KiwiFlare as well? I'd love to see this site made but I cannot imagine it'd be safe from constant DDoS attacks from angry troons.

It should be much easier to protect right?
The site will be static which vastly reduces the effectiveness of layer3 attacks and the amount of data on there will be small

Two things 1: you probably shouldn’t make it too edgy so it can be used by normies and 2: it should probably be for all LGBTQ stuff and not just the Ts.

Re: the previous posters suggesting this should cover all LGBT-supporting brands - it's worth bearing in mind that a lot of gender critical/TERF women support the gays and would be less likely to support the site if it's for LGBT brands rather than just troon brands. I'm assuming it's trans-only because that's what Null said in the OP. If the site does include gay ideology, it should be in a separate category to trans ideology.

If the site's for LGBT boycotts, the logo should use the version of the progress flag with the most dumb shit inserted into it. If it's just trannies, use the trans pride flag. I like the frog and scorpion suggestion.

I think it should cover all "pride" related things. Keeping it cleaner and less edgier than the kiwifarms is already a compromise but if the compromise is too great it just becomes pointless. Pride parades where faggots in BDSM outfits walk alongside children is horrific and anyone that thinks otherwise is already a lost cause.

Yes, but the juxtaposition of that incredible degeneracy with a wholesome looking website will drive the point home harder.
