I commented on a guardian post about glinner's RTE appearance. It's been removed as hate speech!!! No wonder the comments look now like they are all anti glinner's if the supportive ones are just removed! Am honestly shocked.

What did your comment say?

That's how I got interested in all this in the first place - I was shocked at the censorship going on of gender critical voices.

I am never offensive but my comments were removed on several online forums. It seems even raising concerns is enough.

I realised that there must be a lot of other people this is happening to.

But if all dissenting comments are removed then people think they must be in the minority and keep their thoughts to themselves. It's a way of controlling what people think and do. Really scary TBH.

There is a current narrative that there is rising level of transphobia in UK as a consequence of 'transphobic hot beds' such as Mumsnet etc & Conservatve Govt not implementing self-id GRA
The police data of reported transphobic 'hate crimes' will be used to validate this. So too data from Social Media, Guardian etc

Times article by Elizabeth Burden January 24 2019
'Principal backs transgender students over ‘hurtful’ stickers'
(extract)
She claimed that transgender activists encouraged people to report individual stickers as hate crimes to maximise the number of alleged offences. On Facebook last November, James Morton, the Scottish Trans Alliance (STA) manager, responding to a comment on the Edinburgh stickers, said: “Please log it by reporting on the Police Scotland online hate crime form. We need the stats.” Vic Valentine, a policy officer for STA, said: “If people feel distressed by transphobic stickers, we encourage them to report [it] to police. We want to improve trans people’s confidence in approaching the police.”

Kai O’Doherty, the Edinburgh University Students’ Association’s vice-president for welfare, said the stickers were “not only hurtful to trans people, but are clear violations of policies against harassment and discrimination”. (continues)

I said that glinner's was speaking the truth. That men can't be women and that is not transphobic not to want to have sex with someone with a penis.

It's ridiculous that social media is creating such a one sided narrative.

I can't see any comments on any Glinner article - was it this one?

Sorry - you said so in the title! Just wanted to upvote some comments but was looking in the wrong place

I got “limited” on twitter after 2 days of posting gender critical comments. Apparently I’m hateful. It coincided with crazy Emily person milling around saying she had glinner etc in her sights. I understand loads of people reported her and Twitter didn’t consider there was a violation.

Twitter wanted me to give my phone number before I could start a countdown for my 12 hour ban. Considering this is linked to my home address etc., I didn’t feel overly inclined to offer that.

No wonder TRAs dominate twitter. In between being told my opinion didn’t count as I only had 20 followers, also got told I was a sock puppet 🤷🏻‍♀️ TRAs seem to be believe there are about 24 gender critical feminists in the entire world, all using multiple identities... rather than legions of us who are frightened to speak up, and who get banned almost as soon as we do 🙈🙉🙀
