TL;DR
My original Twitter/X account (@femalefedupwith) was hacked and renamed @recovfedu41 by scammers and used for crypto-spew. A fake account (@FedFeminis67641) was also created using my profile picture and a similar name / handle. That is not me – please block and report if it tries to follow you.
The original account has been nuked by X and I don’t think they’ll give it back.
My backup account is @StillFedUpWith, please follow for updates or if you are still interested in my unfashionable opinions.
I am so sorry for taking so long to send this alert out. I had law exams while this was going on and it was then half term with three kids so it has been rather stressful. I’m also working on a YT video as I can understand some people might think this is the scammers talking but it’s taking me ages to put together.
My account was first hacked in April – which I found out when I received a phone call from the scammers swearing at me and demanding money… not much fun. I managed to get it back within a couple of days. I initially thought it was to do with recently having wound up the Nazi-trolls (more on that later) but once I got back in I realised that I had fallen for a scam. I received a DM from someone whose podcast I had been on asking if I could vote for them to host a podcast. This person has since confirmed they were hacked at the time and once I got back in after the hack I saw that this message had been spammed from my DMs. I sincerely apologise if you received this message or were scammed because of me.
Somehow the account was hacked again later in April – this time it took a whole week to get back in and they changed the picture, handle and name of my account and were spewing posts claiming to be able to help people who have been crypto scammed.
During this time X was super unhelpful – they weren’t interested in reports of the scam behaviour or accounts that were obviously in on it, or in reports of the impersonation account. I’ve paid for Premium since it was introduced and this seemed to make no difference whatsoever.
When I finally got the account back there was too much spam for me to delete so I posted a message apologising and saying the messages weren’t from me. I did not change the handle as I didn’t want to confuse people. I woke up the next morning to a suspended account. Of course, losing an X account is not the end of the world, however it has also removed functionality for me to report the impersonation account which is still live. It looks like it was set up a couple of years ago, but the account that the hackers repurposed looked like it was set up since 2013 so I’m guessing they have shell accounts for this sort of thing. Please don’t fall for it – block and report if it tries to follow you. It’s also upsetting that all my previous tweets have now been replaced with a notice saying ‘this tweet is from a suspended account’ which makes me look like a bad guy – over the past 13 years I’ve had many conversations that exposed some pretty gross and dumb individuals and it now feels like they’ve all been handed the last laugh. Again, this isn’t a huge deal in the scale of things but it is rather galling, particularly given some recent interactions I’d had with some revolting individuals…
If you’re someone who has followed me from the beginning you might not be interested in what follows but there are some things I now need to address to the Jewish community and those non-Jewish accounts who were so supportive of me at the time.
After the arson attack on Hatzola ambulances near where I live I posted the following tweet:
I want to extend a huge thank you to all the accounts who were so supportive of me and for all the reposts. It was by far the most I have ever had in my time on Twitter / X and I was not expecting it at all – it was a reply, not even a direct post. Over the years I have regularly posted about the fact that my family are Christian but have some Jewish heritage – this is what got the crazies’ attention when they searched my previous tweets.
For context, I am the granddaughter of Greek Cypriots who came to the UK in the 1930s and 40s. When I did a DNA test a few years ago some Ashkenazi and Sephardic came up – I’ve spoken to a few Cypriots who have had this and I’m pretty sure it must be from quite a long time ago as my parents either knew or knew of their great grandparents and all were Orthodox Christians. However, I found the Jewish ancestry fascinating and have been researching it with great interest. This does not make me a fake Christian – if you think it does, may I ask whether you think I’m secretly Scandinavian because I’ve spent my entire adult life studying Icelandic and Norwegian language and culture and a tiny Swedish marker came up in my dad’s DNA test?
My husband’s twice great grandfather was Jewish and as a result we have a Moroccan Sephardic surname, however my husband’s family are mostly English / Scottish and my mother in law happens to be a CofE priest who has baptised all her grandchildren. We go to Church (well, I drag my kids to Church, but that’s a different blog post…). However, I have always tried to educate my children to be proud of that side of their heritage and make sure they learn about antisemitism – mainly because it’s everywhere and I never want them being part of it, but also because evil bigots aren’t going to stop and figure out the nuances of who is practicing and who just happens to have a Hebrew surname. Unfortunately, the conversations I had as a result of my post were a perfect illustration of this.
All the accusations of lying are bizarre – people assumed that there was no possible way I could have known about such services without being Jewish and when I explained I live in the area and had seen and had conversations about them more accusations of lying followed. Because all my posts have now been removed and say that my account is suspended I feel like I have let down all those who stepped in to defend me so will explain again: I had been vaguely aware of the security / ambulances because I’d seen them in the area. There are quite a few private neighbourhood security services (non-religious) in this part of London so for me this is not anything unusual. Even so, I might not have thought to call them until a couple of years ago when I arrived at my gym to find one of the teachers crying. When we asked her what was wrong she showed us a picture on her phone of some highly antisemitic stuff posted near the gym. When we asked if she wanted us to call the police she explained she’d already called Shomrim and they’d removed and reported it on her behalf.
If it had not been for that it might not have occurred to me to call them last year after a woman who was clearly unstable physically and verbally assaulted me. She screamed a lot of crazy stuff, some of it about Jews and it is my belief that she assumed I was Jewish. This was another point where all the psycho-Nazis kept insisting I must have made everything up but it absolutely happened – I called the police at the time of the incident, but in the days after it occurred to me that she may have done something like this before and that Shomrim may already have known about her (I had a video of part of the incident, and was not expecting them to release her details to me but thought they might be able to pass the info to the police… just addressing some of the points people insisted were evidence of me having made the whole story up; trust me, I’ve been around long enough to know you cannot lie to the internet). When I first called, I apologised for taking up their time as a non-Jewish person and the person on the phone was not having any of it – they told me always to call if I needed help in the area because they could probably get to me before the police. Even my own preconceptions were wrong – I thought I wasn’t supposed to be calling them but I was welcomed.
I have since then had several interactions with Shomrim / Hatzola and have never been asked if I am Jewish. I am sorry if this upsets people but it is a fact. They are based in a very small area so cannot be expected to travel very far but if you are in the area they will help you. I’ve since had a conversation with a mum friend (Hindu, married to a Christian) who lives next door to a Hatzola ambulance driver – she feels she could always call them if in need and has been to free krav maga classes with some of her neighbour mums. The level of resistance to the idea that the Jewish community is generous and friendly has been horrible for me but I can only imagine what it must be like for members of that community if I was receiving images / messages like those above.
I’m sorry my posts are now gone and it now looks like those who were supporting me were helping some kind of troll, and that it’s hard to follow the conversations I had which unearthed such gross sentiments. For info X removed the two lower images when I reported them, however the accounts and verbal stuff remained online (although I did get one message a few weeks ago stating that the account which posted the one on the right had been suspended as a result of reports other than mine).
To anyone reading this who didn’t know me before – I started ‘Female Fed Up With Feminism’ in 2013 because I was disgusted by the newly formed culture war. Women I had gone to university with were painting the UK as a racist, sexist hellhole and I knew this was a lie. They were making it acceptable and normalised to open a newspaper and read things about ‘straight white men’ that would have been anathema to say about any other group. I wasn’t trying to say women belonged in the kitchen – I was saying the current feminist narrative had no basis in reality. I felt that it was wicked to teach young women that society hates them and young men that they are the problem, purely to advance a leftist agenda. I felt very strongly that these activists did not care about women and now feel vindicated in that. These are people who were apoplectic about the so-called ‘rape culture’ they believed was everywhere. Yet where are they after the exposure of the grooming gangs and the information that keeps being released about the sexual atrocities committed during the October 7th attacks? Those activists have either vanished or are trying to deny these actual ‘rape cultures’ exist by lying to themselves and everyone else.
I am sorry that those of us fighting the ‘culture war’ have failed to an extent that it is now normal to see images and sentiments reminiscent of 1930s Germany plastered all over the internet as well as public places. I’ve been doing my best in my own small way for the past 13 years to try and stop these bad ideas taking over and I’m going to keep trying.
Thank you to those of you who have been supportive from the beginning despite my very low output, and those who have been there for me more recently. I’ll keep you all updated here and via my back up X account @StillFedUpWith.
*Please don’t bother trying to interact with any of the trolls in my screenshots – they will thrive on the attention.
