Social media giant Twitter is being sued by a Canadian blogger who says she was permanently banned from the platform last year for her tweets about transgender people, a lawsuit said Monday.

Meghan Murphy, the founder of the blog Feminist Current, was locked out of her account last year when the company asked her to delete a tweet that said, “Men aren’t women,” CNET reported, citing the lawsuit. A second tweet said, “How are transwomen not men?” according to the suit.

She had violated the social media site’s rules against hateful conduct when she referenced a transgender woman as “him,” resulting in her ban, the Mercury News reported.

I'm currently in my second three day FB jail term for the same "violation" of the last one, three weeks ago ....

Calling a muzzie a "muzzie"

BOTH of these "violations are many months ago, the first was June of '18 and this one was July of '15.

I'm gonn'a stay with FB as long as I can just to see where this all goes.

I suppose these sites canmake up any stupid rule they want?

[amihow]

Think the participation medal8 generation who were told over and over “you can be anything you want to be” over believe it?

[DuncanWaring]

Ask them if they would prefer you use the term “musloid”.

Men aren’t women got her banned. I bet saying men are women would also result in a ban.

I was "permanently suspended" (Twitter's Orwellian expression for a permanent ban) for posting this meme. When I appealed, I was informed in an automated email response that there is no appeal possible for those who express hatred for a list of protected categories, including religions. (The guilty "hate meme" below did not name any religion.)

[Travis McGee]

Frying pan into fire. Then the govt will be in charge of policing speech.

[Travis McGee]

Only 3 days??

I have been given seven 30-day suspensions in the past 1.5 years, approximately one month on, one month off.

[ronniesgal]

yeah, she should just call them girly men! That covers all the bases.

If “men aren’t women” is false, then men are women. In which case it follows there is no need for the word “women” as it is redundant with the word “men”.

Wait until there is a President Kamala Harris.

You are very, very optimistic.

Bruce Jenner is an expert. Ask him if this is “hate speech”.

You must say up is down if we say it is.

Truth is what we tell you!

[Chickensoup]

Only by turning them into utilities can we prevent a President Kamal Harris
