Because I asked what transition involved.

Is this usual?

Consider it a badge of honour.

Im currently in Twitter jail.
I fully expect to be blocked and called a TERF in the near future. I give not a single fuck.
Just annoyed to miss Rose of Dawns seals and Baroness Nicholson’s diverse posts for a day.

Dogman - How did you end up in Twitter jail? You didn't foolishly say that transwomen aren't exactly the same as women did you?

It is a legitimate question to ask to be fair.

I think they block everyone who asks questions or doesn’t give them love.

I didn’t suggest such a thing! I Didn’t curse or threaten violence with or without a baseball bat. I mildly took the piss about pjs in rhyme.

I see Stonewall are celebrating "Happy Black History Month" on the Twitter banner you screenshotted. Is that black history with all the upsetting bits taken out?

I got blocked by a business I followed on FB for pointing out the inappropriateness of posting about IWD as if it were Mothers' Day, with a flowery post about valuing what women do for 'us' (for whom?).

I think this is the same sort of total misunderstanding. No doubt hallmark will be doing cards for Black History Month next, with romantic images of slave ships and twee rhymes inside! 😳

People whose organisation and jobs depend on a shaky fantasy can be at their most unpleasant when being challenged by logic. Cognitive dissonance is really uncomfortable, so being blocked is a clear sign they had no substantive answer and were unwilling even to look in that direction.
