Permanently banned for ‘promoting hate’

[RumAndReisling]

Following ten years uneventful membership of a major social media site I have been permanently banned for ‘promoting hate’.

Never again will I be able to participate on that site.

My crime? Saying that if you had given birth to a child, there was no way you could literally change sex and produce semen to father one.

Is this not a statement of fact, or is this now unacceptable to say?

AIBU to say that my husband isn’t able to give birth?

🤔

Who is the authority on this? It seems wokies are in charge of literally everything.

It’s terrifying actually.

wokies🙄

There you are OP. I'm sure that's just the sort of response you were looking for.

People can’t change sex full stop. It’s not hate, it’s fact. Unfortunately the world is going a bit loopy. I think it’s end time hysteria.

You broke their rules, you can't use their site any more

was it worth it?

If it’s Facebook they’ve done you a favour.

What site? Is it Reddit?

You are correct though @RumAndReisling in what you said!

Yes, it is a statement of fact. Most people aren't brave enough to state or acknowledge the facts, even though most know full well they are facts, because they fear being called transphobic. Emperor's New Clothes...

Goodreads isn't what it used to be

It isn't hate to state biological facts.
I presume you know where on MN to go?

You broke their rules, you can't use their site any more

You don't see a problem with stating facts being against the rules? It doesn't feel somewhat dystopian to you?

Honestly, do you even want to be on a site that's so against people speaking true statements?

Context is all.

I am actually unfamiliar with what happens when you have "a sex change" operation. I was under the impression if you went from female to male, you would have an appendage you didn't have before, and if you went from male to female you would have a cavity you didn't have before. Beyond that, I am not sure what happens.

But my assume is that actually being able to produce an egg if you were born with a penis or produce sperm if you weren't born with one is not possible as you don't have all the inside bits transplanted.

So on the basis of my limited understanding, I can't see what is wrong with what you said. I would have called it a fact too.

I am sorry you have been banned from elsewhere. That must be upsetting.

😂😂😂😂

Exactly. I love this description - emperors new clothes is exactly what it is. Sorry OP that's upsetting if you enjoy the site. Well its their loss

What I think doesn't matter

Unless you've been living in a cave for last ten years, everyone should know the risk of comments like that on Facebook, Reddit etc

Exactly.

Why does a fact need context? There is literally nothing contentious about what the OP has said.

What context would make that statement incorrect? Do biological facts differ depending on the audience?

Bloody hell.

And what ... we should just sit back and take it? Reality be damned?
