I have also had a suspension today for the exact same offence. Simply stating that someone who IS a man, is a man, is treated by Twitter as the equivalent of promoting violence, threatening and harassment.

We need safe, decent social media, by women for women and kids

And what's stopping you setting it up?

I agree. I thought we had somewhere safe in Mumsnet for a while, and it’s obviously not comparable to Twitter, but they also censor women for speaking the truth.

Twitter is not safe for women, it is full of rape and violence threats. Can't we organise a boycott? I deleted my account because I don't feel safe with these mods having access to any personal info. Twitteratis do not represent real life in any way and the whole thing is a big echo chamber now. We need safe, decent social media, by women for women and kids.

I think generations to come will look back on this time as a time when women were silenced simply for telling the truth.

It is shocking that speaking the truth has now become ‘hate’.

I do wonder why more women are not working at Twitter and making decisions or maybe inventing our own twitter. Sometimes it feels like we need to start our own things, because the ones being run by men are so corrupt.

I bet many of the Twitter mods are male or TIMs or hand maidens - and Twitter is based in California - the heartland of the transgender agenda- where by law they are a protected minority - so I bet most of Twitters' moderating guidance is based on that - the playing field is rigged

Fuck twitter. Does anyone else remember an account called @ mermans_gender? It was a parody account of Mermaids charity account and was honestly shit-your-pants funny. So, of course, twitter took it down. We know how much some people stamp out criticism on twitter as @therealposieparker is all too aware

Thanks Chrissy
And yes, in a way I wanted to test the system.
In case of fault.
But no it was true.
You actually cannot tell the truth about men who want to be women on Twitter.
It needs to be recorded for historic reasons.

You got blocked from twitter for 12 hours, for calling man a man? I don't see anything worth blocking over in your tweets?

You went looking to get banned and achieved your aim. Congratulations.
