Lots of people have been banned suspended in the last 12 ours.

I'd advise locking your account down to be safe.

Yep, I got a 12 hour suspension in the last day or so.

Of course, the previous time I was suspended for quoting extracts from Hansard verbatim.

I'm sure those with bad faith can bespin that into evidence of wrongthink and transphobia, but to most of us, quoting peers who are speaking in government debates in the House of Lords is not really a bannable offence in the realm of the reasonable folks.

Has anyone been able to identify the hate in the reply?

My WTF meter has just exploded with the "Vagina you wear on the outside".

Hansard a tome of transphobia, Barracker, well that's a revelation. I wait expectantly for the usual suspects to pop on and give us chapter and verse as to why that is so and therefore your suspension was entirely justified.

@bespin , care to comment on that one? People who are doing no wrong have nothing to fear, right?

I got locked out of my twitter account twice for 'unusual behaviour.' My sinister 'unusual behaviour' had been to retweet a few gender critical tweets about the women's sports issue before I'd even composed a tweet myself! It happened within the first 30 minutes of joining and felt like they were telling me to be careful about supporting gender critical voices because it was wrong think. I eventually left of my own accord because it was unpleasant to be surrounded by so many aggressive brainwashed people.

If twitter continues with banning anyone that disagrees with their very narrow, pro-fetish viewpoint it will eventually just become a weird site for male fetishists and their female supporters, which it pretty much is already. I like the idea of it just going into a slow decline before becoming irrelevant.

Voice0fReason · 09/08/2019 22:23

people like the harass and report trans people too
Do they?
How many prominent transpeople (non-GC) have been banned?
They certainly don't get banned for stating facts. It's only when they make violent threats that they sometimes, maybe get a slapped wrist.

In answer to question upthread, terf blocker was invented by aimee and David challenor.

Justhadathought · 09/08/2019 22:53

people like the harass and report trans people too. the Internet is full of people who do that and yes ya get notices that people complain becuse people complain all the time on here. I sure I get reported to mumsnet all the time, but I've not broken the rules so nothing happens. if you haven't broken there rules then why hide?

No, they don't and not in the same way.

Your posts tend to be wilfully contrarian, but I think most people just ignore them. People here are not generally in the business of trolling or seeking to do people harm.

NotAtMyAge · 09/08/2019 23:21

There are also plenty of block lists that trans activists are on. Terfblocker gets mentioned all the time but both sides are at it.

I am very active on GC Twitter, both following and being followed by a lot of people. I have never heard of a GC blocklist and take leave to doubt that such a thing exists, whereas I know a lot of GC people who have been pre-emptively blocked without ever having interacted.

Whenever I find myself blocked like this, I always block back as a precaution, but that is an individual action each time.

FermatsTheorem
Women's body parts are not something you wear, and anyone who uses language suggesting they are has outed themselves as a sociopath.

Exactly what I was thinking.
I don't wear my vagina. Just like I don't wear my knee and I don't wear my shoulder blade.

Every now and then these nonces remind us that they are giant nonces...

Coffeeandchocolate9 · 10/08/2019 00:04

How are we wearing our vaginas this season?

**

I wear my uterus tilted at a Jaunty angle. I'm considering a hat to complete the look.

Needmoresleep · 10/08/2019 00:39

I thought a vagina you wore on the outside was known as a prolapse.

TurboTeddy · 10/08/2019 07:57

No, they don't and not in the same way.

Quite

Transactivist tweets, women should die in a grease fire, results in a suspension which lasts a couple of hours before someone with connections at twitter intervenes on their behalf to get their account reinstated.

Megan Murphy tweets, "yes that's him", about a person who at the time had a social media profile using a male name and is permanently banned.

Words = literal violence if used against a TW
Threats of violence = just words, nothing to worry about when used against women.

SophoclesTheFox · 10/08/2019 08:09

For a mere £43.99 + p&p, you can be bang on trend for autumn by wearing this vagina on the outside.

Totes not a fetish.

SophoclesTheFox · 10/08/2019 08:10

*I know it’s a vulva and DEAR GOD can I have some bleach for my browser 😱

GroggyLegs · 10/08/2019 08:24

I also had a Twitter account created & banned before I'd had chance to even like another tweet. I assumed using a GC profile photo was wrongthink.

I won't express an opinion on anything to do with women's rights with my regular account.

I just lurk, agog.

SnuggyBuggy · 10/08/2019 08:50

It's like that sculpture at the end of East is East

TheBullshitGoesOn · 10/08/2019 10:17

Wtf Sophocles ?

Please pass the brain bleach once you've done with it.

boatyardblues · 10/08/2019 10:22

The photo Sophocles posted made my husband laugh, accompanied by a fair bit of wtf.

SophoclesTheFox · 10/08/2019 10:28

Sorry 😬

TurboTeddy · 10/08/2019 10:33

SophoclesTheFox
And it lacks the pubic hair of a sexually mature female.

RedDogsBeg · 10/08/2019 11:33

Jeez vaginas being 'worn' on the outside and now that picture SophoclesTheFox, I'm going to have to go for a lie down in a darkened room.
