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.

Please do consider doing some research about this.

Another version of the aggressive educate yourself eh when people simply don't agree with you. You can be assured that many people here, including Mumsnet, have undoubtedly educated themselves and recognise the necessity of reasoned debate and discussion.

Is this the crack troops that have been sent out, I wonder?

More like the on crack troops this thread is great, shame about all the deletions but I imagine it will have been archived.

Thank you Graham for linking the discussion with Stephanie Davies Arai.

Her coherent argument about how the trans propaganda onslaught in schools is damaging young people, especially girls , was so powerful. As she says, so many of the rights that we take for granted are being eroded by bullying behaviour, by rejigging language, by replacing science and fact with lies and mistruth.

We are losing hard fought legislation on equality and consent, we are blurring social understanding about boundaries and empowerment , adults are allowing other adults to bully them into silence , we need to fight back and realise that the agenda behind this barrage is not about equality and acceptance, it is about societal grooming and misogyny . No wonder more and more young people are confused.

@Glinner

That's very interesting about the Edward Lord tweet.

Yes. I got my account access back after deleting a couple of my tweets in the thread that were probably too "direct"

The original tweet is still there with Lord's own words and the second one with quote from Plummer in the Telegraph . They survived reporting.

It was ones in my own words that Twitter made me remove.

Probably be mass reported again now but still there if anyone wants to peep before they and I get disappeared.

@Xanthangum I wouldn’t be so boastful if I were Mermaids. The net is rapidly closing in on them. Only a matter of time.

Mermaids saying "keep being you" when they are set up to literally change children's bodies is hilarious. "Keep being you" except the bits we tell you to change because we think it's weird when boys play with dolls

Thank you, Graham for caring about us and for helping to protect our children. I thank you personally for helping to keep me sane in all this. It's been comforting to see that someone who has been a big part of my life with my children (one of whom it seems I've lost completely to the online coaching tactics) gets what is happening and has the moral compulsion to shout it loud and clear. When my kids were tiny they used to play "tea" complete with Mrs Doyle offering and the eff off cup response. My middle kid built a Black Books in Minecraft. My youngest still cracks Mossisms at me daily. Funny enough JKR was another huge part of our life. It means so very much that the two of you still have my back. I'm so very frightened by the way you both are being treated. I worry about you. I hope you are okay. We are not malicious, crazy, obsessed or whatever other gaslighting baloney they though at us. We are dead on. Do take sometime now to look after you, have a big bubble bath, burn incense, eat chocolate, use one of those foot massage contraptions, whatever, just be sure to take some time. Because you deserve it and because we have to keep fighting this madness. You rock. THANK YOU.

Well this is the narc rage, I'm guessing? As predicted by, er, just about everyone.

It would appear that all this blistering sunlight shining on people like Glinner, Baroness Nicholson, Allison Bailey, and J. K. Rowling, is responsible for a spectacular spot of melting.

And despite this thread being a massive pain in the arse for the mods, it's certainly opening more curtains.

Safeguarding 101, there are things you avoid so as to make your arena unattractive to predators. Anyone who wants to encourage those things is waving a big sign saying 'predators welcome here'.

Just go away do some basic safeguarding training before declaring sex based rights transphobic.

Sorry to hear that Graham. Like most people, I'm not on Twitter and never go there. I am aware of your support for sex based rights from other sources though. So thank you. If you choose to continue the fight it won't be difficult to make your voice heard.

I keep asking, Hyper, but none is ever forthcoming. I wonder why?

@Dhalmeup

My hourly rate is less than that, but in any case, as the play says the first words of the Bible are "get the money first".

You could say whatever I find isn't "proof" even if it's him saying "I am a transphobe".

@Glinner

Oh, another thing that might have led to my suspension. and please do spread this about... I called myself a Wooblybooblysexual in my bio and said my pronouns were Woobly/Boobly

That's terrible Graham. I'm not on Twitter but I thank you for using your public visibility for continued, reasoned, kind support of women.

@rabbitwoman

Think of the Brexit row. .. noone was hounded out of their job or threatened with rape and violence for holding either argument.

Does the name 'Jo Cox' mean anything to you?

Excuses, excuses. Have you nothing else?

Such grand claims for such nonexistent evidence.

We're with you Glinner.

[quote RitaMorenoMuppetShow]@everybodysang Thank you so much for saying this. I completely agree. I have used Mumsnet on and off for 10 years under a variety of usernames and I hardly ever post now because the transphobia is so rampant and off-putting. I still dip in every now and then because this should be a useful resource for parents and I enjoy a parking thread with diagrams, but I feel increasingly grubby and guilty for enabling a site that I feel supports bigotry.

@MichaelMumsnet and Mumsnet Towers generally - I hope you realise that your policies around this are turning off huge numbers of people. I'm not a "trans rights activist", whatever that is. I'm just a woman with a kid who wants that kid to grow up in an inclusive and tolerant world. Among most parents in my circle (I'm in my 30s) Mumsnet is a running joke for something you wouldn't want to be associated with, entirely because of your support for transphobia. Please do consider doing some research about this.[/quote]
You know you can hide threads, right? You’re not actually forced to read them or even believe in them.

If you’re happy for any of your young female relatives to share a female space, such as changing rooms, rape crisis centres, hospital wards, women’s shelters, female support groups, etc with male bodied people with penises, feel free. I prefer not to, but as a female I’m told that the feelings of male bodied people is much more important, than my right to have boundaries.

If your boundaries are set so low, that anyone can cross, that’s your right, but you don’t get to police other women’s rights to say no. It would be classed as grooming, if you insisted that a woman or girl had to ignore her feelings of discomfort and has to let any man into those female spaces. Why should that change, if a male bodied person identifies as not being male. I genuinely want to know how you get around that cognitive disassociation?

I’m sure MNHQ don’t need to be told what to do. How arrogant and patronising. I guarantee that they’ve been researching for an awful lot longer than you and have decided that women have a right to have an opinion, no matter how much the misogynists hate that. Mumsnet isn’t twitter, they may ban certain terms/words, but they draw the line at shutting down discussion and silencing women.

Misgendering is a thing, it causes damage especially when ment to purposely hurt.

What thing is it and what actual damage does it cause? Actual damage, beyond hurt feelings? As Germaine Greer says: try being an older woman. My feelings are hurt all the bloody time.

@Glinner

Oh, another thing that might have led to my suspension. and please do spread this about... I called myself a Wooblybooblysexual in my bio and said my pronouns were Woobly/Boobly



Thanks @Glinner

Ha! Like we haven’t seen that before either.

You go gather your screenshots. Pm me one and you’ll be paid. Then post them all here.

I am deadly serious. I would be over the moon.

That offer goes to those claiming that there is ‘rampant transphobia’ on here too.

Show us.

The tally now stands at 91.

Among most parents in my circle (I'm in my 30s) Mumsnet is a running joke for something you wouldn't want to be associated with, entirely because of your support for transphobia. Please do consider doing some research about this.

That was a popular view circa 2018 when few people knew about the issues discussed here and before people started doing some research. It sounds like your circle is a bit out of the loop.

The TRA are given free rein on twitter to threaten, abuse, and attack anyone who dares question the incoherent, illogical nonsense they spout. They hate that they can't do that here.

Being allowed to get away with it they become more even cocky and aggressive.

I've never once seen TRA's condemn the rape and death threats towards females on any platform. MALE violence.

The good news is it only serves to shine light on the situation.

The gender critical voices are growing daily. Newspapers allowing comments on articles. More visitors to MN to look for the
'tansphobia' and instead finding intelligent, thoughtful, factual discussions.

So, if you think the sex based protections for the 51% of the population that is female should be removed, just to appease a tiny minority of adult males who demand any and all access to female only spaces, then please feel free to fuck back off to the hotbed of misogyny that is Twitter.

Of course, superjan, absolutely. Thank you for reminding me. A very important point.
