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.

The pie power up is thrown into Jon and dissolves into a message, saying "Congratulations!"

Classic!

Whether you agree with Graham or not you have to admit that his approach did more harm than good. He claimed to be in it to support women, but never posted anything in support of us unless it also meant he could put down trans people (or on rare occasion America under Trump). You could easily tell that his entire position was based on his hatred of gender identities than any kind of feminist-adjacent support. And he was far more interested in mocking people he disagreed with than in raising our voices. How often did he use his large platform to jeer at bearded men rather than directing attention towards our charities or those of us that were in need. To be taken seriously we don't need a figure of hate at the forefront.

I hope that @Glinner and the rest of us can take this opportunity to not fall into the same traps in future. Let's support women's voices as the forefront of the movement, and let's centralize people who are more interested in doing good than in stroking their own ego.

Hey guys, while you are here, pop over to the Intel thread and give us some insider pointers.

And do put your pot noodle pots in the bin, sweeties.

Ballad Of The Incel Man

I'm down in the basement
Making signs out of love
There's a big time special guest tonight
Coming in from above
This town hasn't seen such excitement
Since John Cena in 09
Yea that arena is know for its wrestling matches
But tonight we're gonna have ourselves a different kind
A different kind of good time
I'm taking my mamma and her sister aunt Marie
And I hope I find a like minded girl tonight at the trump rally
I'm gonna take a shower
And shave so i look good
Wear my Hillary for prison shirt
Iike a good boy should
Plan to show up there early
Watch the motorcade arrive
Grill up some meat in the parking lot
They say doors open at five
Got my picture of Obama
Which we'll burn in Effigy
And I hope I find a like minded girl tonight at the trump rally
Maybe I'll get to sit
Behind the man they love to hate
And watch him throw a fit
About problems I can't contemplate
Sometimes it scares me
When he goes on one of those rants
Sometimes I don't know what he's talking about
But it makes them liberals shit their pants
Makes them shit their pants
Oh it gives them such trauma
And it makes us so happy
But I just wanna find a like minded girl
Oh I really wanna find a like minded girl
Yes I just want to find a like minded girl
Tonight at the trump rally!

@TehBewilderness

I'm living MY life. You don't have to like it. I don't require your approval.

Go do it somewhere else.

You don't tell me what to do or where I can go.

To be honest, the grammer police were more fun. But I guess you get what you pay for 🤷‍♀️

Oh dear IsoGran. You missed the point. The point is not about whether or not you exist. The point is about discussing issues and concerns on each side.

Please refer to my last post - the bit about lack of critical thinking.

ItsLateHumpty · 27/06/2020 05:44
