A transsexual woman who was told by Twitter she was breaking its rules on hateful conduct for tweeting that “sex and gender are not the same” has accused the social media platform of taking a “sexist, absurd and Orwellian” approach to the public debate on transgender issues.
[...]She accused Twitter of censorship after she was given 12 hours to delete two tweets that emphasised the difference between sex and gender or face suspension from the site.
The tweets, addressed to a group including a transgender woman, read: “Sex is relevant to this debate, whatever your gender identity. Sex & gender are not the same. Your sex is male. It’s not a insult, it’s not automatically hateful to state it in these discussions, it’s part of biological reality that matters in so many ways in a sexist world.
“Calling you male is factual, relevant, indeed essential in this debate. It’s about correctly sexing you rather than so-called ‘misgendering’ you. Why in any case should the women here respect your pronouns while you support the erasure of their sex-based rights?”
Ms Harrison has refused to delete the tweets while she appeals to Twitter to reconsider its decision.
A Twitter spokeswoman said that “misgendering” — failing to use a person’s preferred pronoun — and “deadnaming” — using their pre-transition name — violated the site’s policy on hateful conduct. She declined to explain why Ms Harrison’s tweets were regarded as hateful. [...]
