NC for this post because it reveals my twitter account.

I've just had my Twitter account suspended for the following Tweet;

Because men are and always have been since day dot seen as more important and deserving of priority than women. That's why. #patriarchy

I honestly thought we were past this shit. Now even discussing patriarchy is getting us banned.

So depressing. I'm appealing obvs but dont hold much hope.

I got banned from Twitterverse due a quote from a song as a reply to the AA "LGBTQ" flight crew PR campaign.

My tweet was:

"99 problems but a bitch ain't 1"

I've left them to their MAP period fetish circle jerk. The only reason I will create another account will be if I need to publicly complain about a corporation.

I've been deboosted now which means that my tweets reach no one except the people already following. Because I'd just opened the account, I had relatively few followers (low hundreds). They can see my tweets but only if they click on 'see more replies' at the bottom of their tweets. I have been effectively silenced. I have no way of redress or appeal as Twitter denies shadowbanning. I now can't reach anyone who isn't already GC. Feeling temporarily defeated, silenced, alone, scared. Sorry to slightly detail. X

unbefuckinlievable. PLEASE set up a new account.

Suspended Some people have managed to get Twitter accounts re-instated by complaining about decisions via the "Better Business Bureau".

However, looking at the response to the latest one logged (where someone was complaining that their "profanities" were justified by the fact that someone was sharing nude videos of her/him and a photo of a real gun!) I wouldn't hold your breath:

I got a suspension, which I appealed and is now a permanent ban, for commenting on a thread about Dorothy Perkins wondering why it is that DP grovelled and bowed down to such an angry and obnxious man. Permanently banned for that FML!

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 13/09/2019 17:09

I’ve reported some horrors. Oddly enough when I get me ‘updates’ I don’t recognise some of the accounts. Maybe people are changing their names but still...

suspended · 13/09/2019 17:01

Yes its turned into a permanent ban. From me writing the tweet (around 12ish I think) to me being banned was around 2 hours.

I know Im not meant to do it but I'm setting up a new account and getting straight back in there. I lost a couple of hundred followers too.

Shocking really. I've reported racist abuse, people giving death threats, all sorts really and its never bee acted on. But this..... this deserves instant banning. Brilliant.

I meant - can they explain exactly how this decision was made and outline the crime committed? (No I thought not).

Doyoumind · 13/09/2019 12:12

Meanwhile, tweets that I reported almost a week ago celebrating the imminent death of Magdalen are yet to be dealt with Angry

Wtf is going on? This has to stop.

SleepyKat · 13/09/2019 12:09

So a suspension has turned into a permanent ban? For something which breaks no rules?

suspended · 13/09/2019 11:56

what do you mean @LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD ?

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 12/09/2019 16:59

Can the expand on that?

suspended · 12/09/2019 16:35

I have already had a response to my appeal to say my account will never be reinstated.

That's so quick!

What a shower of horrors.

I had to delete a tweet (that was 5 wks old at this point) because I pointed out to someone else, that they shouldn't equate trans with mental health issues. (It was just friendly advice).

Someone had obviously mined my time line for something that would trigger the algorithm.

FadingStar · 12/09/2019 16:12

I keep my account locked down at all times now...I'm deboosted so I doubt many people outside of my followers would see my posts anyway. Can't wait for the day Twitter is finished.

DoctorAllcome · 12/09/2019 16:00

I agree your tweet should NOT have been deleted. Mostly because I think a £100 voucher was because the -victim- whinger was a MtF trans person and that if it had been a bio-woman who had been misgendered, she would have got nothing.

But I digress. Oh yes. Many many shops have unisex changing rooms and areas. Because each cubicle is private, there isn’t really a need to have separate changing areas these days.

BiologyIsReal · 12/09/2019 15:51

I am so baffled/angry/bemused (insert any word of your choice meaning you don't understand how something has happened) that such a miniscule proportion of the population can exert such a malign influence on social media bosses, politicians, the media, businesses etc You name it they will bow to it.

But why? Need to be seen to be progressive/woke/inclusive? (TRAs are not progressive, they are regressive in enshrining gender stereotypes that should have been consigned to history a century ago when women got the vote).

Are these wimpy organisations afraid of being called bigots? It's only a bloody word. Afraid of being called TERFS? That's only another bloody word as well.

I'd rather be called a bigot or a TERF, because at least it means I understand biology, than a silly twerp - the only possible description for someone who believes people can change their sex.

As for the word gender - that has become another meaningless word as well.

For God's sake won't someone get a grip?

I am so fucking fed up with all this bowing and scraping to this new madness. Call me what you like. I won't declare that black is white to appease people who have taken leave of reality.

CharlieParley · 12/09/2019 14:37

I've checked the thread (your tweet has been deleted). There is nothing there that justifies censoring your words. In light of the recent thread on the psychology of AGP, however, I am struck just how apt it was, because this is yet another perfect example.

The tweet you responded to, which asked why the feelings of one person take priority over those of many, received this in reply from the man in question:

You are a minority. TERFS are a hateful radical fundamentalist group. Banned everywhere and hated by all. You are the minority.

Which is not only woefully misinformed, illogical and smacks of a tantruming toddler in its reality-denying nature, it's also interesting that

expressing discomfort at the notion of males using a female-only space = TERF

Because that slur has a particular meaning inherent in the RF part of the word. But the vast majority of women who value female-only spaces would not call themselves feminists, let alone radical ones.

I mean we know from a great number of polls now that only a small minority of women state that they are okay with men claiming womanhood sharing their spaces.

And I know from talking to a lot of women who would initially say they were ok with it, they actually assume that self-id refers to fully transitioned post-op transsexuals because they would NEVER think of crossdressers like the complainer here demanding the right to be included.

What Qcng said - that'll be why.

littlbrowndog · 12/09/2019 14:16

Yet there are ppl on twitter who don’t get banned who promote peadophilia or I think they are called MAP

Then there was a guy who was wanking in ladies toilets. Took twitter ages to take it down

Then there’s all the tras who shout kill terfs burn terfs yet they are still there

suspended · 12/09/2019 14:14

I'll just go join spinster and take my business there. The amount of misogynistic, hate filled paedo accounts I see on there and i get banned.... ha

I haven5 been banned but am on a terf block list for some reason

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 12/09/2019 14:13

You are not surely suggesting that just because a woman has a penis she is the M-word?

Qcng · 12/09/2019 14:11

*Mockers" I am still waiting for Twitter's decline. We can only hope.

Qcng · 12/09/2019 14:10

I got banned for calling JY a man!

Maybe there should be Feminists banned from Twitter support thread here?
