Twitter ban gay rights campaigner

Twitter have excelled themselves and banned a prominent gay rights campaigner for comparing the impact of gender identity and AIDS on the gay community.

Unfortunately for Twitter he is a legally trained and a prominent gay rights campaigner. His response is amazing.

I look forward to hearing the response!

JellySaurus · 15/04/2022 15:14

The response is published beneath.

It is not what you are expecting. (Or maybe it is!)

JellySaurus · 15/04/2022 15:16

This line is a perfect summary of the behaviour of trans ideologues: mendacious authoritarianism over genuine democratic discussion.

SerenavanderWoodsenHumphrey · 15/04/2022 15:27

From the Twitter official response: "...we do not tolerate abusive behavior. This includes inciting other people to engage in targeted harassment of someone."

So .... all the creeps who've been harassing JK Rowling, Rosie Duffield, Joanna Cherry, Kathleen Stock, etc. are gonna be perma-banned? Time to buy stock in popcorn!

(I'm almost certain that the twitbot Twitter employee who wrote that piece of boilerplate has no idea who Elon Musk even is.)

Well, he's hardly going to stop at that, is he?

Could be lots of fun seeing how that pans out.

nepeta · 15/04/2022 16:07

An excellent letter

Roseglen84 · 15/04/2022 16:13

Wow, this guy is brilliant!

I don't think twitter will know what's hit them!

Imagine the trouble they'd be in if he teamed up with Ben Cooper. Confused

Fairislefandango · 15/04/2022 17:01

Wow - that is an excellent response! Exactly the kind of calm, incisive clarity which makes TRAs sound like raging toddlers by comparison.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 15/04/2022 17:06

I love the fact he has copied Elon Musk. Parliament is already investigating Twitter’s banning policy this is not going to help their case.

Dennis is great.
As well as being well informed, he’s got a great sense of humour.
Good luck to him.

I miss jebadoo!

hedgehogger1 · 16/04/2022 08:42

Excellent letter. Shame twitter didn't read it

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 16/04/2022 09:18

It’s been retweeted to Twitter and Elon Musk multiple times now. I imagine it’s been noticed despite the reply

Brilliant response. And seems like the type of man who won't give up so I hope he manages to make a huge amount of noise to throw more light on this - sadly so many people are just still completely unaware of what's going on.

FemaleAndLearning · 16/04/2022 10:17

I saw Dennis being interviewed on GB News alongside Sarah Phillimore. Fantastic duo.

Igmum · 16/04/2022 14:59

Bloody brilliant. Totally looking forward to him being reinstated so I can see his tweets. How could anyone disagree with this?

maltravers · 16/04/2022 21:43

Superb letter. I hope the twits at Twitter read it properly.

ScribblingPixie · 16/04/2022 21:57

He was literally my favourite poster on Twitter :(

DrBlackbird · 16/04/2022 22:22

my participation in such debates should not be contingent on my support of biology denial / gender ideology

MidCenturyClegs · 16/04/2022 23:42

Dennis NK can be an utter misogynist sometimes. I remember he wrote a post about there being no anorexics anymore because all the girls are becoming trans. Quite a few women piped up saying that actually anorexia has been on the rise (300% since Covid), there are no ED beds spare across the country - or at least a 12 month wait list and mothers looking after their skeletal daughters at home.I myself have been waiting for a bed for my daughter for 6 months; she is desperately ill but no available and appropriate care. I think we put GC males on a pedestal.

MidCenturyClegs · 16/04/2022 23:51

Obviously you can't see the text he wrote cos deleted etc.
But the responses being politely pointed out using a disease with a 20% fatality rate and a 300% growth in 2 years were ignored. A screenshot of his tweet was posted to an international Eating Disorders support page and the outrage from 100s of parents on there against him were in the hundreds. He has no concern for young girls whatsoever

I think we put GC males on a pedestal.

I've seen a fair amount of criticism of DK, Glinner, Arty Morty, and various others with a reputation for GC. (I'm blanking on the name of the chap who was quite huffy on TMWI with James Dreyfus and various others.)

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 17/04/2022 00:21

But he's not claiming to really is he? He's a gay man concerned primarily about gay men. I think he should be entitled to that priority, in the same way that I am entitled to prioritise women.

I don't think it's helpful to immediately jump to "he said a twattish thing once so I don't want to support anything he does". This is a extremely simplistic and unhelpful approach. It suggests we should only look at who is saying a thing, not what is being said. It reeks of purity spirals and it will not move the GC cause forward.

Many, many people (most, in reality) will share GC beliefs to a greater or lesser extent. The fact that (outside of Twitter) we are a majority is a good thing. We aren't a niche, bigoted, unreasonable belief. We are simply people who prioritise biological reality above ideology and feelings. As such, many people who hold other views we may dislike, will also be biological realists. Picking out and casting aside all those who we don't like, who have different priorities from ours, our who have pissed us off in the past, is an insane strategy.

I don't want to win this fight because I have the purest, most righteous ideology, am a Good Person.

I want to win this fight because believing, in my heart of hearts, that the sun will not come up tomorrow will not make it so. Belief does not shape reality. And no-one should be able to dictate to me, or anyone else, what reality is, based on their subjective belief.

Excellent letter. Suspect the 20year olds at Twitter didn't understand it.
