MRKHvoice has been suspended from Twitter. She has an intersex condition and has been relentlessly abused on Twitter by TRAs for not capitulating to their ridiculous appropriation of intersex as “proof” that there are more than two sexes.

Now Twitter have banned her.

I’m livid.

Silenced for speaking the truth, not hate. All the people monitoring, and then hitting the "report post" button know it too.

I see absolutely no way that the tweet in question even breaks any rules?

Twitter like to ban women for speaking the truth or even questioning the TRA dogma. I'm permanently suspended. MRKH is amazing and should not have been banned 😠

sackrifice · 27/04/2019 17:03

Of course she was banned; she speaks the truth and crushes people with the facts.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 27/04/2019 17:05

Twitter is over.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 27/04/2019 17:05

Wtf? How is that hate speech? Twitter is such a toilet

I've also just got a 7 day ban for saying Lesbians are female homosexuals.

MRKHvoice is very impressive. Young bright and articulate who seems to have fallen inadvertently into a position of providing a rational intersex voice, challenging those who decide to speak for her.

Why are our main political parties not trying to recruit people like her, Fionne Orlander or Rose of Dawn if they are so determined to put forward intersex or TG candidates. Their capacity to recognise other people’s needs and their willingness to listen would make them far more electable than Aimee Challenor or Lily Madigan.

How many of us have been suspended/banned from Twitter? I have. I refuse to go back.

I particularly like this from anyabike's thread on the ban of Claire:

twitter.com/anyabike/status/1122120842819854336

In an era where we aren’t supposed to identify a person’s sex, Twitter seems to be pretty good at identifying and banning people of one particular sex

Perfect!

MRKH is impressive, reasoned and intelligent. I'm so angry she has been banned from Twitter.

Twitter hates women.

I banned Twitter from my life.

MRKHVoice was great on there, and Jane Clare Jones. And wildflower hour. Otherwise, I'll not miss it.

KarenTheCashRegister · 27/04/2019 19:17

Who gives a toss what Hayden thinks? An utter nomark.

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 27/04/2019 19:24

MRKHvoice is brilliant. Can't count how many ♥️ I've given her Tweets.

Great letter. Wonder if it'll work.

What with this and the MAPs, Twitter is becoming a cess pool.

This is an astonishing video from Sweden. English subtitles. It discusses ROGD, especially the female rise, which is seemingly global now.

Well Hayden has posted that before the appeal. Seems like they know the outcome already!

What a disgusting post from Hayden.

Oh. I thought ‘one of the most hateful transgender hostile extremists’ must be dear Steph’s new signature.

Steph, ducky, can I introduce you to the correct use of a hyphen?

Voice0fReason · 27/04/2019 22:37

MRKHvoice is an amazing woman. It is criminal that she has been banned.

MRKHvoice is very impressive. Young bright and articulate who seems to have fallen inadvertently into a position of providing a rational intersex voice, challenging those who decide to speak for her.

As the appeal letter above explains, MRKHvoice is a professional working in SEN.

This is her analysis of the Safeguarding, legal & policy issues with the Mermaids/Allsorts school toolkits at 'Correcting A Blindspot' meeting in Leeds last year organised by Lisa Muggeridge:
