I'm Suspended from Twitter

So sorry, Gingernaut. I also saw that Jsoosty had been suspended. I do hope those who are appealing their suspensions are successful. I have been mildly encouraged to see that there have been some recent reinstatements of GC accounts which even garnered an apology from Twitter.

I tweet a lot on GC topics, so far with only one email saying I'd been reported, but no rule-breaking found. However I also tweet a lot about Brexit and someone suggested to me that it's the one issue GC accounts which seem to be most vulnerable to banning, whether temporary or permanent. I was also put on Challenor's blocklist soon after I came out as GC and later on McKinnon's huge list, so I'm guessing a lot of what I tweet isn't seen by those most likely to report me. That sensitive snowflake OJ has also blocked me, along with most of female Twitter.

I agree that Twitter can be a cesspit, but as yet there isn't another platform which enables so many people to make contact and share information so widely.

I'm not fully suspended, I'm on a 7 day ban but I'm holding out for a review because it was very unfair. They won't let you do your seven days until they've decided the outcome of your appeal (if they ever do). You can of course cancel at any time but it's the principle.

I'm in almost exactly the same situation as TalkingintheDark and I know other GC women are too.

Yup - Jsoosty perma-banned

And really, that's who Twitter want to be, and the trans community, people who are on side and protecting Ian Huntley, a man who killed two little girls.

It says it all really.

I also read that it was fake news that Ian Huntley wanted to be treated as a woman so that statement should have been fine. Weren’t Debbie Haydn or Fionne (both lovely but can’t remember which) banned for saying they were men biologically?

It was fake news, he is still a man. He's still Ian Huntley.

BigFatLiar are you sneaking in a conflation between recognising biological reality and homophobia?

Transwomen in mens loos, Transmen in womens loos? Never really got the trans thing, your genes define male/female apart from that its mental & cosmetic surgery.

Unfortunately these days you can't say things that aren't acceptable or your evil. (Same sex relationships, same sex marriages all a bit odd to me)

Click link fail, apologies.

Behold the Guardian has written about this. Thank you SM, although I would like to have seen some GC examples of Twitters misogyny. I presume she wasn’t allowed any by the woke Guardian.

Yes you do op - I miss the old M&S threads.

I got banned for saying Ian Huntley is a man. I mean, that is the literal truth FFS.

No way. This is absolutely ridiculous.

It's crazy the amount of real hate speech there is on there, including from the president of the free world, and you saying actual facts has you banned.

I just can't believe it.

I've had a 12 hr ban for nothing and a couple of shadow bans.
Every time I log on I expect to be banned.

I can't believe the Sonic Fox account still stands or that McKinnon was reinstated after the greasefire threat - thanks to Riley.

I agree but the issue is that some of these are for the adult human female type women. JY is applying to get knocked back to sue just as JY did on the people who didn't agree to wax them. Pageants are fucking horrible and I cant believe they're still knocking about.

I got banned for saying that if you have a penis then you’re biologically a man.
I always respected people’s preferred pronouns etc. I don’t make nice now.
Not anymore.
Nothing short of complete submission will ever be enough for them.

You're hardly a nobody Ginger - I still have fond memories of your M&S pink dress thread.

to everyone who goes out there. I've been wondering whether to give it up (don't tweet myself) but as long as there are still women doing it then I feel the least I can do is follow.

I got a couple of shadow bans. A couple of 12 hours. And a 7 day ban for (oh. Actually I can’t tell you. MNHQ deleted me last time and told me I’d be banned from here too). Erm. I told LOJ that a specific man who used to write about wearing make up was way more interesting than the new brave and stunning authorial version. I still don’t really know why the truth is so controversial.
But I’m not giving twitter my fucking mobile number to get doxxed and sacked, so my appeal went nowhere.
My account was zapped just as I started publicizing Morgane Oger’s stalking and harassing software project, doxxing and prosecuting for the purpose of. I’m still pissed. But it’s mildly ironic that if they ban everyone, they won’t have victims to track.

Have been suspended for a few weeks now, didn't deadname, misgender or call anyone a man who didn't wish to be. But did draw attention to the hypocrisy of yet another male denying the existence of the basis of female oppression by his sex class.

Have heard nothing since appealing my suspension. Twitter seems to also ban any reference to the actual sex of males who identify as trans now, even when discussing the oppression of females by males. Should have known that twat would report me (had run out of arguments) but I was still surprised they judged my tweet hateful conduct. My tweet could also have been written in any thread involving your common garden variety misogynist, but the way things are now, I wouldn't be surprised if that got us banned too.

Agree about the pageants but it's all part of the game to sue.

I’ve seen photos of the other competitors on KF. Lots of chokers and polar-necked sweaters or conveniently placed hands at throats.

Frankly TRAs are welcome to pageants. They tie into their 1950s idea of femininity.

I got a permanent ban too for pointing out transwomen can and should use men’s toilets with other men.
