What Gets a Woman Suspended From Twitter

Here are the tweets that transactivists reported

The interesting thing is they put me on a 12 hour suspension but wanted a mobile phone number to restore my account. Since I don't have a mobile phone and only a landline that can't take an SMS message, I am now locked out of my account.

I did appeal. Heard nothing yet.

Fuck Twitter.

I sympathise with those here who have been banned from Twitter and other platforms. But I'm not surprised.

OK, maybe a tinge surprised at Twitter's blatant dishonesty in saying users are not allowed to wish death on anyone (meaning Donald Trump), while it remains fine for TRAs to call for women to suffer violence, job loss, death and anything else their nasty little minds can think up.

OK. Not really surprised at all.

For anyone with a spare 3 hours and an interest in how Twitter operates, this is a must watch episode.

Conclusion - bans and suspensions tend to only go towards one ‘side’ and not the other. Doxing, death threats etc are tolerable from one ‘group’ but not another. This seemed to be admitted.

I had a ban once for pointing out that male violence is not something women can do much about, nor should we be blamed for it in any way Hmm

My experience has been that Twitter respond fairly quickly now to my reports. Particularly anything to do with encouraging suicide.

Please don't get discouraged about reporting. I frequently see complaints from TRAs about being in "twitter jail" just because I called "some c### a TERF".

I was banned for using the same wording about biological sex in lots of tweets. It was treated as spam.

I appealed and won. I also contacted the Better Business Bureau and they helped.

Where is everyone keeping in touch? It seems like almost every online platform is against females who have their own opinions being allow to connect.

ovarit.com is growing and improving, I find it a lot easier to navigate than spinster.xyz/

I second Ovarit. It's beginning to look quite comprehensive. There is also Gender Critical on Saidit though Saidit is an awful site, but right now it is easier to join.
