Twitter has suspended me

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.

@LadybirdsAreNotBirds

So many new members coming to gloat. Rather unbecoming. Particularly after GL being suspended for daring to mention grooming. What kind of person on a parenting forum would want that topic silenced.

I want to thank GL for putting his neck on the line and for providing so many links to so many amazing women's accounts to follow. Many of us found each other there and have made friends and set up real life women's groups.

There are more of us than you think.

Totally agree. Makes you wonder why so many people want to silence @Glinner doesn't it?

I got banned from Twitter for alleged 'misgendering' I'm sure it's just a coincidence that I used to regularly report MAP accounts (which were still allowed to stand btw)

There were a group of 6 of us that would report any paedophile accounts we found and every single one of us got banned for increasingly spurious reasons...

So all of the sock accounts that have come here to give @Glinner a kicking - we see you, you pathetic cowards.

There is a macho immature agressiveness to the "prose" That's for sure.

Inelegant is quite the understatement.

I can't imagine why women do not want to share a changing room with these men./s

I’ve found three of them on Twitter. They’re also not very clever.

Hi Graham
Thanks for your support
I think we all knew they would come for you.
It's not over of course.
Take care of yourself
Enjoy the nutter show, this thread will be deleted but there will be another one when the mods are back.

Winesalot · 27/06/2020 05:15

It’s a good thing glinner that twitter is not the real world.... yet. I have enjoyed your get video with Ben and ArtyMorty and joined in for part of your stream the other day. I shall keep checking out your site for more. Thank you for adding your voice. Flowers

Cui bono when it comes to banning words about grooming children?

I'd say the word but apparently I'm not allowed.

Welcome Glinner.

I appreciate the support.

Ignore the hate spewers.

ItsLateHumpty · 27/06/2020 05:19

Dances I agree this thread will be deleted (although I have archived the first 20 posts), and it’d probably be better for Glinners MH that it is because some of the posts on here are vile, but from a FWR perspective it’s useful to see exactly what type of small minded, ham fisted, key board bashing SJWs we are actually dealing with when they feel safe in their feeding frenzy.

LunaNorth · 27/06/2020 05:20

@bofa well, if your ‘life’ is spent bashing a keyboard, ankle deep in empty Pot Noodle pots and Red Bull cans with the curtains drawn, then no, I don’t suppose you do need grammar.

Hi Graham, thank you for being such a staunch ally. Your voice has been important in helping to shine a light on the issues in question. Debate is so important if we are to find a way forward.

Gloaters: just fuck off. You won’t come to the table to have an open exploration of the issues and concerns on either side, which says a lot about your confidence in the logic underpinning your position. And the level of your critical thinking.

NotBadConsidering · 27/06/2020 05:21

I have also noted who several of these trolls are on Twitter, so will be easy to cross reference them in the future, should this thread go.

Wossa matter,IsoGran, did the angry woman scare you?

2nd rule of misogyny: Women saying no to men is a hate crime.
3rd rule of misogyny: Women speaking for themselves are exclusionary and "selfish".
