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.

@crumpet

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.

I don't have to 'come to the table' and make a case for my existence to you. Who the hell do you think you are?

Women: What we really don't agree with is having men talk over us in our spaces. We'd like to be able to have serious discussions about issues concerning safeguarding and grooming without men coming in and shitting on the discussion.

Men: We know what would show what wrong, evil, hateful bitches you all are! Let's talk over you in your spaces and shit on your discussions! That'll teach you (and any neutral viewer) who's really in the right!

Women: Gee, don't throw us in the briar patch.

@TehBewilderness

Wossa matter,IsoGran, did the angry woman scare you?
You're the one with 'phobe' as part of an accurate description.

[quote LunaNorth]@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.

The displays of ‘dignity’ on this thread is really quite a compelling argument.

LadybirdsAreNotBirds · 27/06/2020 05:35

Thanks kids for continuing to bump this thread to the top of active discussions . The first post will be seen more and more. Nice work.

Glitterball Off to check on on Bunbury's guide now to make sure they aren't talking about celeriac Glitterball
