Twitter has suspended me

[Glinner]

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.

One of the trolls who identified themselves on Twitter had a furry interest.

And? Your point? If you're new you're not allowed a voice?

A new website is needed. Maybe run by cervix havers "twatter"

@baronesswrongcrowd I wasn't 'spouting' anything and if you want to be polite, it might be best not to use words like that. Quite frankly, as you put it, I don't think you'd believe me anyway.

@DickKerrLadies I think Reuniono must be new.

Try posting in MN, the ‘safe space for all women’, about using disabled loos, buggies on buses, or whether it’s okay to ask people to take their shoes off in your house, Reuniono, and FWR will seem like a warm pile of sweet fluffy kittens by comparison!

They tried that with spinster. It's not the same.

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

@Reuniono funnily enough we are never able to find it.

If there are so many examples you won’t have a hard time screenshotting and posting them for us will you?

In fact you should be back in seconds with hard evidence of Graham’s ‘transphobia’ to show us.

Unless...

Oh right...you are just going to refuse to point out any actual screenshots and call us transphobic innit. Gosh, didn’t see that coming, at all! Nope!

Thank you for all you have done Glinner

You know you are doing something right when they suspend you because the truth is coming to light .

So thank you again. Truly.

Bring it on reuniono

You need to own what you said and post the transphobia

I support you

Julia H B on the case

@everybodysang

I'm not a new member. I've been here for yeaaaars and years. But I don't come here much any more as the transphobia is desperate.

Anyway, this has made me happier than anything I have seen on here for years so I am glad I popped back in. Never has something been so deserved. Maybe find a new hobby?

Maybe you might like to think about why you are so pleased that an extremely vocal advocate for Women's rights has been silenced.

Reality is transphobic.

@Reuniono

And? Your point? If you're new you're not allowed a voice?

A new poster joining MN purely to attack an established MNer?

No, you shouldn't have a voice in those circumstances, imo.

HTH

Oh @Reunuio (hope I've spelled that right) just to say I have a friend a flesh and blood person I talk to and have coffee with who was permabanned from twitter for saying that JY is a man. So that's an example.

I do feel twitter is only one thing. And they have to have some rules; what if those police officers had posted those selfies of themselves with the murdered women on twitter? Obviously those would have to go. So the argument is about the limits of free speech. But anyone who thinks being called a man is an insult of such proportions that someone should be permanently banned - it's odd. Particularly when, you know, it's objectively true.

No I won't because you cannot provide evidence to back up your claims. Like I said you make the claim then the onus is on you to provide evidence.

This board is heavily moderated, anything that is transphobic is deleted quickly and doesn't stand. None of us tolerate that here. However this is not Twitter, you will get challenged, we cannot be cancelled. We will discuss women's rights and what affects us.

I'm going to choose to read something significant into the fact that MNHQ often (usually?) simply delete threads that quickly descend into outright trolling, yet this thread they took the time to clean up and reactivate.

to MNHQ

Thanks Glinner. We've chatted on Twitter and I'm sorry you've been banned.

Thanks MNHQ for your sterling work.

And hello to all the people on this thread who appear to have joined to berate Glinner and Mumsnetters.

Sunlight truly is the best disinfectant.

Adding my support for Glinner too

Twitter is frightening at the moment and I don't follow many people. Thank you to the PP who pointed out that it is really only a relatively small percentage of the population that actually post most of the time. It seems to be becoming a platform for hate and any dissenting voice is shut down.

I am very grateful for those with a loud voice putting themselves on the line for us.

Hi @Glinner. You are welcome here. As indeed are all men. There are many long standing male posters.
