Yesterday, Twitter suspended the account of satirical site The Babylon Bee for a post that jokingly named Rachel Levine, the transgender Assistant Secretary for Health, “Man of the Year.” Here, editor-in-chief Kyle Mann, co-author of “The Babylon Bee Guide to Wokeness,” explains why he isn’t going to back down to the social media giant’s demands.
Well, it finally happened (we’re kind of surprised it didn’t happen sooner): The Babylon Bee has been locked out of our Twitter account.
The satirical article that offended the Twitter overlords? “The Babylon Bee’s Man Of The Year Is Rachel Levine.” For the simple offense of labeling a biological man a man, through a satirical headline, we have lost access to all 1.3 million of our followers on Twitter.
A world where you can state a simple biological fact and face censorship, the loss of revenue and your livelihood, and excommunication from the public square for stating truth, no matter how satirical tongue-in-cheek your tone is, is a scary one indeed. As the famous Ron Paul saying goes, “Truth is treason in the empire of lies.” Twitter claimed the account violated the rules against "hateful conduct."Twitter claimed the account violated the rules against “hateful conduct.”Twitter/@SethDillon
Boy, are we feeling that today. (Can I still say “boy” or will that get me banned too?)

The Bee needs to make fun of Twitter. Maybe post a picture of Jack Nicholson in uniform, with the headline “Twitter hires new fact checker / censor” and the subtitle “You can’t handle the truth!”
He looks like an old white man in drag.
GI Joe was around a LONG time before Stretch Armstrong.
One of many now stores here in Lost Angeles sort toy’s by gender boy row girl row they still doing the same gig for the boys toys.
“Rachel’’ Levine is mentally ill and in another time and place would've been labeled so and treated for that mental illness. Now it's being celebrated.
I use the pronoun “it”. For this “pediatrician” weirdo and the swimmer. Also Bruce Jenner (who was on FOX a few weeks back as a woman in “Outnumbered”, FYI).
Yup. Not even any real effort into it.
Stores that sell toys walmart target and a like have toys for girls on one row only and one row of toys for girls aka gender equality but the boys row has a lot of girl type of toys aka sissy training.
got it?.
Just posted the original Babylon Bee article on Facebook. Let’s see if it gets answered, or if they just ban me.

Not to be uncouth or unwoke, but he/she got hit by the ugly stick and broke the stick.
