I'm really sorry to barge in on you Mumsnettters with my problems, but
I've been finally suspended from Twitter and I have a feeling they're either going to ban me or just take my verified tick. I've submitted an appeal with Twitter and the Better Business Bureau but I thought I'd post here too so people knew what was going on.

Recently, I keep being locked out of my account and forced to delete tweets to get back in. The latest tactic by trans rights activists is to run a search for any time I've used the word 'groomer', a phrase Twitter recently decided was Not Allowed.

This was not a violation of Twitter's ToS at the time I used the phrase, and I have been careful to avoid it since. I still use the word 'grooming' in various permutations because I believe that gender ideology is a form of societal grooming. It is a very real threat to the wellbeing of women and children and if our ability to name a threat is removed, it is even more difficult to fight that threat.

You may remember that Twitter similarly removed Canadian feminist Meghan Murphy. She lost her account when she said "that's him" about 'Jessica' Yaniv. Bear in mind that Yaniv was still going under 'Jonathan' at the time, and just as in my case, her crime against Twitter's Terms of Service was not actually an offence at the time she committed it. She probably never thought she could be banned from the public square for uttering the words "that's him". But that's Twitter.

Twitter has a high percentage of trans-identified employees and for some time has been silencing feminists and their allies who run afoul of its absurd 'misgendering' policies. The one good thing about my situation is that I'm in great company--Claire Graham, Meghan Murphy, Skylar Gwynn, Miranda Yardley, GNC Centric and many more, important feminist and critical voices who have been silenced for fighting a dangerous ideology that tells children it's possible to be born into the wrong body.

Anyway, that's what's happening. Please let people know it's entirely down to malicious reporting from the usual suspects and please keep watching my YouTube Channel and visiting my depressing blog. I'll also be available on Glindr if people from Twitter want to re-establish contact there. Hope it's ok to post these links to those destinations

Thanks for all the support, and thanks for letting me fight alongside you.

Thank you for standing up to them Glinner. Twitter's vile. You have my support. Also gosh what a lot of tourists on this thread.

CaraDune · 27/06/2020 09:53

@Murraygoldberg

Thank you for all you have done and I truly believe the tide is turning, I've discussed it in real life widely and most still think when talking about trans people we are talking about adults who have undergone extensive surgery and treatment not the motley crew that are many ( I still think post op should not be in women's sports, prisons, refuges etc.)
This is it exactly! I want trans people to be able to express themselves as they wish without harassment or fear of losing jobs or housing.

But there are some situations - prisons, refuges, single sex wards, women's sport - where biology matters.

There's also no way we should tolerate allowing children to make irreversible changes to their bodies.

Maybe it’s because you are a smelly 😉😂😂

Floisme · 27/06/2020 09:54

Just adding my support glinner, and thank you.

siouxchief · 27/06/2020 09:54

He is probably right in regards all of this but to be honest I've only a vague knowledge of all the issues and acronmyns and avoid them intentionally.

I do wonder is it worth becoming obsessed with this topic but twitter does that you hence why I stay away from it. You end up needing to have views on various topics that in the real world even 10 yrs ago you wouldn't care about. I still think this is the best tweet ever written pointing that out:

TornadoOfSouls · 27/06/2020 09:55

I've never seen a thread on here with so many deleted posts, not even the buggies vs wheelchairs on London buses ones. Grin

Is this not supposed to be a safe space for all women? Agree, not sure why #Glinner feels its the right place for him to air his woes!

Are you new here?

Massive thanks to mods for putting this holey thread back up. I saw the gloating posts on Twitter saying @Glinner had been handed his arse here.

LockdownHairdo · 27/06/2020 09:55

@baronesswrongcrowd I said 'terrifying' not terrible, if you're talking to me, and I don't have to prove anything to you. I do wonder why Mumsnet has become such a hotbed of transphobia.

DickKerrLadies · 27/06/2020 09:55

terrifyingly transphobic

JK Rowling is also 'terrifyingly transphobic' apparently. Check this out medium.com/@rebeccarc/j-k-rowling-and-the-trans-activists-a-story-in-screenshots-78e01dca68d

But yeah, it's terrifying here.

Dhalmeup · 27/06/2020 09:56

And Graham you know you’ve been doing something right.

Look how far under their skin you’ve gotten Grin

It’s pathetic, they think we can’t see them. They think blathering on about ‘all women’ and yelling ‘phobes’ bothers women. Not now dears, we’ve been through too much of your crap, some of us for years now.

Might I suggest some of the new posters read a good few threads in here. Education is always good.

Mummyoflittledragon · 27/06/2020 09:56

@Reuniono
Please post examples of what you say are Glinner’s transphobic posts. I don’t post on Twitter, just glance from time to time.

Reuniono · 27/06/2020 09:57

@Tianalia

Goodness me have all the vermin crawled out of twitter and followed you over here Graham. They just can't leave you alone can they. What will they do when they're left in their echo chamber with no one left to argue with. It will be a shock to them when they step into the real world and realise women's rights aren't trans rights and the law won't be changing for them. Thank you Graham for standing with women at no doubt great personal cost to yourself. Flowers Your help has been greatly appreciated. See you on Parler where the conversation will not be silenced.
Thank you to all the 'vermin' for their excellent work in calling out #Transphobia and the #Transphobic. We stand by #TransIsBeautiful #BlackTransLivesMatter #BLM #TransRightsAreHumanRights #LGBTQ+
DickKerrLadies · 27/06/2020 09:57

Indeed. Much of the reason I'm here is because I was told to educate myself. So I did.

McPeaked · 27/06/2020 09:58

Damn it! You know, Glinner, they’ve been gunning for you for a long time. Bastards will be nonstop crowing today.

“The word ‘woman’ is already taken”. Too right, it is.
Appreciate your voice in this debate.

DickKerrLadies · 27/06/2020 09:58

You must be new here - hashtags aren't a thing. This isn't twitter.

LockdownHairdo · 27/06/2020 09:59

@dickkerrladies I've never said anything about JKR. You don't do much to advance your point of view by misrepresenting people, you know.

BaronessWrongCrowd · 27/06/2020 09:59

Very politely, Lock, if you come here and spout stuff like terrifying or terrible transphobia then provide zero evidence then quite frankly I'm not going to believe you. Nor will anyone else. So yes you do have to prove your claims.

Oh there are plenty. Just do a search and you'll find plenty screenshot.

BoreOfWhabylon · 27/06/2020 10:01

@BaronessWrongCrowd

Funnily enough I've never see you here on FWR before *@Reuniono*.
Indeed. This is the only thread Reuniono has posted on.

Glinner has posted here for a couple of years

littlbrowndog · 27/06/2020 10:01

Hashtags

Lol

I didn't say you did. That's why I used the word 'also' - to show that she is also accused of being terrifyingly 'transphobic'.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt in this fast moving thread and assume you weren't trying to misrepresent me.

Reuniono · 27/06/2020 10:01

Nah not new... And #hastags are still a thing.
ShootsFruitAndLeaves · 27/06/2020 10:02

I like spotting the obvious 'new users' from their usernames. PupperMum? Really? Lol

PamDenick · 27/06/2020 10:02

anyways- time to get on with the weekend. Off to do personwithawomb jobs like the washing and cleaning. If any of the tourists want to explain why personwithawombs still end up doing the majority of housework and childcare, I'd be happy to engage in some light hearted banter.
In the meantime my personwhoejaculates continues to sleep on. But hopefully he'll be up soon if his kidney stones aren't playing up too much.
