How do I know if I’m on a block list ?

So, I’ve just found out I’m blocked on Twitter by Dr Brooke Magnati/Belle De Jour despite never having any interaction with her to my knowledge. I hardly ever tweet about gender critical things on this account, my professional one. I assume she blocked me as I’m critical of what currently passes for progressive thinking on sex work, but again, I hardly ever tweet anything about this, or only mildly. I do follow some gender critical and s VAW and prostitution survivors but also some lib fems, well I used to. I cant Remember names to check other people I was following but for example I can still look at Juno Dawson (but I was never following Juno in the first place)

I’m confused. Why block someone who has never bothered you? I’ve only blocked a few people in my time, all people who were harassing me and being deliberately unpleasant. Milo and his followers for example. I also always block the many women selling sex who follow me because I assume they are either doing it to take the piss (considering the type of account it is) or to use my timeline to sell sex, which I’m not comfortable with. I talk a lot about male violence, murder, rape, CSE and sex offending, from a professional perspective and in an accessible, non aggressive way, because I want to engage people. How do I tell if I’m on a block list?

Why don't we have a pic of soon to be Dame Suzie?

The Terf list has, perhaps not unsurprisingly, Julia Hartley Brewer, Jerermy Clarkson , David TC Davies MP , Miranda Yardley and Blaire White on it.

It also has Shon Faye.

And Samira Ahmed.

Baggy - I am devastated.

Lass - Samira Ahmed makes sense, she's spoken out about toilets and she's hosting Julie Bindel's book launch. But Shon Faye????

These people aren't the brightest.

EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans · 11/10/2017 08:54

True...

Ereshkigal · 11/10/2017 08:55

Fucking funny though Grin

I am on there too! Slightly proud but a little baffled as I work hard at being respectful...apart from that time I told a TA to "jog the fuck on" Blush

Slightly proud but a little baffled

You are in quite good company though. Even the dubious ones like Hopkins or Clarkson at least have the merit you could have a good going argument with them and they wouldn't try to shut you down.
