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.

Christ, what happened around here? Someone order a family sized bucket of incels and a litre of misogyny to go?

Keep talking lads. Show the world what you look like in the sunlight.

@IsoGran

Your rights aren't a debate. If you stop and listen for a sec, the people on mumsnet actually support trans rights, just not at the expense of women's rights. There's no gaslighting involved.

MigZig - they’ve just been given their pocket money so they’re having a splurge

The rambling nonsense of people raised by twitter.

mellajoy · 27/06/2020 05:59

@Glinner sorry this is happening to you. This trolling must be really tiresome.

The good news is: Twitter isn't real. It's not the world. It's only clapped out hacks from newspapers nobody reads any more that even care what is written on there. Everyone else has realised the majority of tweets are made by either a bot or a child. Twitter is over.

My guess is this thread will be deleted soon when the mods wake up.

LadybirdsAreNotBirds · 27/06/2020 05:59

Thanks for the magnificent effort in keeping this thread on the top of active .

It takes people to the first page and that's what they will read.

Useful for spreading the serious first post and more clicks for mumsnet. Paste away kids.

@prolefeed

It always makes me laugh that menz think women get upset about tedious nonsense like drunken blathering of a Friday night and repetitive cut and paste. Grin Bless. I’ve seen better trolls on the local knitting forum.
Don't underestimate those forums. Their critique of my garter stitch was pretty brutal!

Full stops and capitals please lads.

God, I wish this thread could stay and be seen by all of mumsnet. Can the “best” posts be saved?

Women and parents - these illiterate, immature incels are the creepy men the GC group want to keep away from vulnerable children?

Support from Australia, Graham. Twitter is not a great place to hang out. Could you start a private Facebook group?

I think they're going for quantity rather than quality
