Twitter Silences Prominent Feminist for Saying Men Aren’t Women

Meghan Murphy, the founder of Feminist Current and a journalist who has written for New Statesman, Vice News, CBC News, and the Globe and Mail, was permanently suspended from Twitter last week after the social network implemented a ban on “misgendering” transgender people.

The posts which reportedly led to Murphy’s ban were, “Women aren’t men,” and “How are transwomen not men? What is the difference between a man and a transwoman?”

After Twitter made her delete the posts, Murphy made another post declaring, “This is f***ing bullshit, @twitter. I’m not allowed to say that men aren’t women or ask questions about the notion of transgenderism at all anymore? That a multi-billion dollar company is censoring basic facts and silencing people who ask questions about this dogma is insane.”

Fascism, at its heart, is about suborning the individual and his/her needs, wants, and desires to the state. It is the antithesis of the inherent individual liberty that our Declaration of Independence and Constitution enumerate and protect.

I came to the conclusion a few years ago that the United States had morphed in to a Fascist state over the last 80 years.

The difference between Fascism and Communism is that Fascism allows you the illusion of private property while the state has nearly complete control of your property.

We have slowly evolved in to that model of society. Through the growth of the regulatory bodies of the government and crony capitalism the US has moved in to the Fascist end of the economic spectrum.

Finally, with the advancing restrictions on free speech in the government and private sector the metamorphosis is complete. We are a Fascist State in all but name.

We have socialized medicine, social security, eugenics (through amniocentesis and abortion), government control of the means of production (regulations and taxes on just about everything)

All we have left is our illusions of freedom.

Nah. Probably 40% of the accounts on Twitter are phony entities.

No one would notice a few 100,000 here or there.

I have just over 8,000 followers, in 9 years. But I’ve blocked many many more than that.

I don’t care about the numbers, only about the friends I’ve made.
