Twitter is rapidly kicking out GC women while allowing stuff like blokes flashing their penises, threats against women, horrible violent stuff, sexism. It doesn’t feel great to be a woman on twitter. I use it but keep away from posting gender stuff on there, other than following some amazing women.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 20/08/2018 16:56

Maybe it was the shocking/horrifying/nightmare inducing/traumatic bright pink willy what done it?

Gncq · 20/08/2018 17:17

Twitter is where the TRA live and rule. They ban feminists and allow violent threats against women.

I do want the end of Twitter to be imminent. None of these social media sites last forever. I'm just hanging in until it disintegrates.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 20/08/2018 17:21

Twitter is pretty awful. I only use it for work, and find that if I leave the path and stray into the wild west it's pretty horrific.

GenderApostate · 20/08/2018 17:46

Ha!
I only changed to the pink willy picture this morning in solidarity , my offending tweet was from mid July🤔

That's ridiculous.

Ereshkigal · 20/08/2018 18:20

Twitter is where the TRA live and rule. They ban feminists and allow violent threats against women.

TRAs and their allies also think their echo chamber shutting out all nasty literally violent feminist opinions about gender is representative of what people think in the real world.

PyeWackets · 20/08/2018 18:33

The internet is run by men, for men.

JackyHolyoake · 20/08/2018 21:44

We Twitter suspendees have gone elsewhere and now the TRAs have no idea what we are up to ... talk about shooting themselves in the foot!

Melamin · 20/08/2018 21:56

They do that a lot Grin

Iused2BanOptimist · 20/08/2018 22:10

Buy a cheap Nokia on a payg. I have one as a spare, lend to children for camping trips etc when it's best not to take an expensive phone. I use that number for anything I sign up to that I don't want to give my number to. It's amazing - I switch it on about once a month and find all these missed calls. Grin
So spare number for resigning to twitter. And if need be you could swap the sim for another new account.

longtimelurkingtrans · 20/08/2018 23:17

Hope you get back on there soon, I have to be careful in following and replying to other TS and women who disagree with the TRA's. My employer would bin me in a heartbeat if they identified who I was, Wouldn't be hard to out me as I follow ships and colleagues on there when away from UK

UndercoverGC · 20/08/2018 23:38

You don't need a new phone, you just need a new SIM card. £1 in cash from a supermarket.

TriptychTwins · 21/08/2018 00:48

I've lost so many followers because they've been kicked off for telling the truth.

I keep hoping that I'll wake up one morning and find out that this has all been a horrible dream.

Ereshkigal · 21/08/2018 01:13

Me too, Triptych.

I logged in recently to find I was down 30, when it was rising steadily and then static due to me being shadowbanned. So I put that down to the GC bans.

Stickerladiesoftheworldunite · 21/08/2018 01:16

I've only been on there for a few weeks, but need a break already for my own sanity.

womanformallyknownaswoman · 21/08/2018 01:18

Twitter is based in California so the anti GC feminist policies are crafted there by pro TRA staff. Twitter has always been a hive of misogny, both the company and its platform - as all the big tech organisations. Twitter is worse though than many - it has a frat boy, hacker mentality that they seem in no way seriously interested in changing - despite the rhetoric.

All the tech organisations mirror the big patriarchical power structures- not interested in customers and unresponsive to them, driven by profit and personal interest only, don't see women as an important customer base.

womanformallyknownaswoman · 21/08/2018 01:20

I hate the hassle these platforms put women through - I guess we have to play the TRA at their own game - report them for hate crimes against women

R0wantrees · 21/08/2018 08:05

GenderApostate your account will likely have been targetted.

Jacky Holyoake was targetted and mass TRA-Twttter reported for a long time. She wasn't the only person.

Twitter (& other social media platofrms) have been 'weaponised' by some, with the intention of 'no debate' and silencing dissenting voices.

I didn't know almost half of all transwomen in prisons are sex offenders

There are a number of articles and data on the Fairplay for Women website:

It's sad isn't it? Smile

Mamaryllis · 22/08/2018 16:13

Random q - if you follow people who get shadowbanned, is that why you have to refollow later? People disappear from my list and I know I used to follow them - and I can again, so they haven’t blocked me (!) is that also to do w bans?
