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.

No, not when floods or fire occur does anyone look for a woman, much less a feminist. But if you are looking for a good pushback against “transgenderism,” you can do worse than look for a rad fem.

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

I hope there are eventually millions like you ... it will overwhelm them ... the number of active users will plummet ... which if i understand the $ model will affect its value. Keep up the good fight. WHo knows, you might be a beneficiary of the settlement. FB is a wing of the demokrat party.

So a feminist is being attacked by the radical insane bunch known as “trans.” Which government-certified victim group will attack the “trans” crowd?

He might be just a beginner. I’ve noticed that facebook is starting to go further back in time to find things to ban us for. They had to go all the way back to November to find my latest infraction. (I tend to be amazed on any day I am NOT banned)

BTW, I tip my hat to you. I’m currently serving my 4th month long trip to facebook jail. I recently set up a fall back account to keep me entertained until the ban ends.

It must be a “hate” that only mindless liberals can see. I don’t see anything wrong with the meme at all.

Of course liberals hate truth so that may be the issue.

“How are transwomen not men?”


Because they lack a Y chromosome in every single cell of their FEMALE bodies, that’s how.

It is amazing how a rather sloppily constructive ideology can completely short circuit logical and rational thought based upon irrefutable facts. Apparently, we are living in a psychology laboratory without realizing it.

I agree with your sentiment. These companies control far, far more of their particular segments of the Internet than Standard Oil ever controlled of the oil and distillates markets.

Regulate the phuck out of them.

I can't get to a generic FB page to sign up, apparently my computer is tagged to the account.

BTW, if it ever occurs, I will be Rufus T. Firefly 3rd

in the upper right hand corner of the screen there is a downward point triangle icon. It opens a drop down menu which has as it’s last item “Log Out”.

Hit that and it will get you to the sign in/register page

Transwomen are men who believe they are women.

“Transwomen are men who believe they are women.”


OK, thanks for straightening me out on the psychology of that particular bunch of crazies.

I still don’t, and never will, understand how people think that if they believe in something hard enough, then it is true. According to them, if I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY believe that I’m the Chrysler Building, and I get a hairdo that looks like the top of that building, then I AM the Chrysler Building. Well, no, actually I wouldn’t be...I’d just be really f’d in the head, like all of these trans-men and -women are.

What’s worse than having a small percentage of the population being bat$hit crazy is that a substantial number of not-bat$hit crazy people think that we should accomodate the bat$hit crazy people. They (the non-bat$hit crazy people) are just plain stupid.

There are TRUE physical transgenders out there: men with full-blown Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (basically XY women); men with Kleinfelder’s (sp?) Syndrome (XXY, XXYY, and other X+ combos); XX men (where a DNA sequence normally found on the Y in XY men is on one of the X’s in this case); intersexed (retaining primary sex characteristics of both sexes); male-female mosaic (some cells XX, some XY); and so on.

I wonder if some of them feel insulted by the current transgenderism fad and the resultant social media censorship.

PING!

First of all, thank you for pinging me on this.

Second of all... ugh!!!!

Fundamentally, the DOJ has not been doing it’s job for decades. The reason why there are no slides in playgrounds today is precisely due to uncontrolled lawsuits and legal mitigations that make attorneys enormously wealthy at the expense of the rest of the population.

I don’t have much hope for the supreme court to do anything about this. But what I do expect is for an aggressive DOJ, as aggressive as Eric Holder was, to undo the near centuries worth of constitution unraveling by SJW types.

The United States is completely off the rials. It is amuck and is like a freight train heading straight to Hell.

I believe in DJT, and I do have faith. But listen to me closely.

What America needs right now is not a “band-aid” or the hope that things will quietly settle down. America needs a full reappraisal of just how far it has drifted away from the constitution. It needs to identify the problems, and what caused them. Put corrective actions and punishment measures so that this will never, ever happen again.

And needs to do so very quickly.
