The political satire publication has refused to delete the tweet that led to the ban

Twitter has censored The Babylon Bee over a tweet that referred to the Biden Administration’s transgender HHS Secretary, Rachel Levine, as a man. Twitter is claiming that the post violates their policy against hate speech. Twitter has locked the Babylon Bee’s account, demanding they remove the post, but Bee CEO Seth Dillon says he won’t delete the truth.

Levine, who is a biological male and went by the name of Richard before proclaiming womanhood and transitioning in 2011, was recently named “Woman Of The Year” by the far-left USA Today newspaper. In a tweet from The Babylon Bee, the satirical publication spoofed The USA Today’s announcement, saying that “The Babylon Bee’s Man Of The Year is Rachel Levine.”

That tweet apparently violated Twitter’s policies against “hateful conduct,” prompting a 12-hour lock of The Babylon Bee’s account. By locking the account, Twitter is able to directly censor the satire site by preventing them from posting new tweets and accessing other basic functions.

When I look at Rachel Levine I find it hard to believe that such a beautiful gorgeous woman could have ever once been a man.
