And all the hundreds of men who abused and bullied and libeled her for months on end are all still on twitter. Aidan Comerford actually posted a man's violent tweet under hers and deliberately cut off the man's user name so it looked like she had made violent threats against trans ppl this week. Where's HIS ban for that or for spending all day every day harassing women on twitter? I'm so angry about this.
There is literally a man on twitter (Elfoxoloco) who routinely harasses feminist women by sending us a video of a naked man sh!tting on a dinner plate. He's done it dozens of times and been reported hundreds of times. Twitter won't suspend HIM - but Helen gets a suspension for asking a rational question more than once?? Sorry for posting twice. This one is really ticking me off.
Only the best are tossed from Twitter. It’s a badge of honour. Raise a glass of cheer to the Helen Staniland Question! May it multiply throughout the lands. Why do males need full access to females all the time anyway?
What a shame. Helen is amazing, and I love the squirming that comes with that question. If they truly believed trans women are women they would just say 'yes'
I wish, with all my heart, that someone with tech knowledge would take the time to shut Twitter down forever. In my opinion they have assisted and enabled misogyny and violence for years. It's time their doors were closed.
Twitter leaves up MAP accounts and porn accounts and tra accounts that deliberately troll women and girls and takes down Helen?
The actual fuck?
They are taking down minor accounts too, just nobody notices. I've checked out, for the first time in my life, my "unfollows" and then looked to find their accounts, and I've lost 20 in the last couple of days
Hey! Thanks a lot Graham! I got tossed from twitter for quoting you:
@Glinner So when TRA's say "women rape too" they mean males who identify as trans-women!!
They had listed 5 other posts (tweets) but they disappeared while I has futzing around trying to figure out how to appeal, because I wanted to tell twitter what I, a reasonable, rational, elderly woman, thinks about their business practices. The only one I managed to appeal was this one because it was the only one I could find again. I don't know what I wrote because it disappeared too, but it was along the lines of "What is wrong with you for omitting "SEX" as one of the company's categories of human beings to protect??!"
They took the appeal days ago and when I go to twitter they say, "blah blah blah...if you give up your appeal we will let you back on twitter." Tich, tich, tech! I'm not giving into that bribe/threat/blackmail. I may terminate my account if I don't get an answer sometime soon just to let them know I left. I have other options already, a Spinster.xyz account, a MeWe account and a Facebook account. I feel safest on Spinster.xyz.
The FB feminists (Original Meaning) are finding alternatives to keep in touch because they augur that Facebook will go the way of Reddit and twitter by mass canceling women. The two favorites for reconnecting with friends are MeWe and Spinster.xyz.
You would think this is unlikely because of lost revenue, but we are discussing the male propensity to shoot himself in the foot. Did you know that the comic industry almost died because they excluded women? Over half their revenue came from Romance comics written and drawn by women until sometime in the late 1940's-early 1950's when they shot themselves in the foot by cancelling women, both women readers and women producers . Then they hid their "manly" comics in boy/man caves. It wasn't until Manga were available at regular book stores that women were able to once again buy comics in a safe environment, after an hiatus of at least two generations from when "Little Lulu" was available at the neighborhood grocery store.
In reply to the last question " Does everyone have equal protection of their right to freedom of expression?) I wrote: Yes, in theory everyone should have an equal right to free speech. In practice on social media those who pursue their opponents into a corner get the last word: they persuade Twitter's moderators that they have been “offended” by a “slur” and get the female opponent (it is a woman!) first suspended and then banned. Corporations and bodies with the deepest pockets employ specialists in “social media” and other outlets to get their message heard and flood all outlets as usual. Stonewall has an income of £8M pa to influence 800 “Diversity Champions” include all major Gov depts.

I'm angry but also extremely worried. If my bank account is frozen tomorrow, we all know who to blame for writing the f***ing manual - M. Atwood.
I'm just so angry right now!

Aye, right.

Oh no! That's awful news. Twitter is an even worse place now.

I miss the glinner gang 😢
I have responded to the consultation issued by the HoC Jt Committee on Human Rights (https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/93/human-rights-joint-committee/news/120588/inquiry-launch-freedom-of-expression/) on "Free Speech", deadline 31st Jan. There are so many consultations I could spend all my time on these, but I have done this one.
In reply to the last question " Does everyone have equal protection of their right to freedom of expression?) I wrote: Yes, in theory everyone should have an equal right to free speech.

Only occasionally are fundamentally different and questioning opinions heard: the excellent letter which JK Rowling published on line on 10th June 2020 (https://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/j-k-rowling-writes-about-her-reasons-for-speaking-out-on-sex-and-gender-issues/) is such an opinion, stated with care, moderation and compassion for all.
