@Glinner's medium account suspended

[PegasusRex]

Surprise surprise!

There is an archived version of the article he wrote about lesbians protesting pride here. This seems to be what has upset them. I know I should be used to TRA's trying to silence anyone who disagrees with them but I'm always a little bit surprised.

Meanwhile my attempt to talk about what happened at Bradford Pride is still on medium

Your article on Bradford pride is brilliant, Pegasus. (Hope you've got plans for an alternative location for it if it gets pulled).

Shocking but unsurprising that Glinner's been banned. Well, slightly surprising - you used to be relatively safe if you were a man.

This is all so sinister.

I was expecting to see in the Glinner article something that would be stand-out provocative.

That is a remarkably mild and matter of fact piece to get a banning.

Both excellent articles, it truly is a scary world.

THe Rohypnol piece got pulled from Medium too.

They are really clamping down.

2+2=5

the 'Pronouns are rohypnol' article is here

That's shit, but not unexpected.

Medium has gone full-on TRA - no GC views allowed at all. I knew it would go this way when Maria McLachlan was banned, and then another woman (Lily Maynard?).

Graham's articles have been reposted on another platform - I'll see if I can find the link.

Wow, this is so sinister.

Oh ovaries . I did wonder if Medium GC articles would last, it seemed too good to be true for a while. TRAs have clearly not enjoyed the push back happening recently and are ramping up their silencing methods.

Graham has just started a blog on Ghost.org
Ghost is very different from Medium; it's a non-profit foundation, so they don't have investors to please. I contributed to their original Kickstarter in 2013; although I've not followed them for the last couple of years, the founders always struck me as small-L libertarians. So I think Graham's writings will be safe there.

Fuck! I wish I hadn't read that just now!

I thought Graham was bowing out?

I think he finds it hard to shut up. I know how he feels. Every time I think I would find it easier at work if I just shut up I see something else which makes me feel the way glinner so eloquently expresses here:

They’re fighting for their sisters despite overwhelming odds, so if your response to a photo like this is “lol nice turnout”, then the problem isn’t with their numbers but your character. This is what bravery looks like, so have some respect.

I don't always agree with everything every woman campaigning on this says, but my goodness I admire their courage.
