I only really became aware of how bad Twitter's censorship was when I became 'gender critical', as in, I believe in biological reality and don't think that male-bodied people should be in women's prisons, rape shelters, women's sports, with young girls in changing rooms, etc. Then I saw how Twitter (and other social media sites) blocked and banned women (and to a lesser extent, men) from talking about it. It has been an extremely shocking revelation. It is now 'wrongthink' on big sites like Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, etc, to talk about the differences in men and women. Terrifying stuff, when you can't even discuss or debate that.

If you think that's bad, you should see what mobs of 'gender critical' people with an itchy report button do to trans women on there.

  Doubt it's worse than what we see happening to the likes of JK Rowling. It's cool to be trans on Twitter, and I'm not being flippant. Trans are basically ascendent. e.g. Meghan Murphy's suspension from Twitter after tweeting the widely held view of "Men aren't women". You'd have to give some examples of suspensions in the other direction to help me understand.

This is a great endorsement of Twitter, but unfortunately they are much more tolerant towards hate mobs than this post would imply.

Sorry but Twitter is not legally obligated to be your platform for transphobic hate speech.

regarding Twitter's censorship... the way Twitter take down NY Post is rather interesting. Even if NY Post story on Hunter Biden is false. Twitter allowed every news outlet to peddled Steele dossier and Trump golden shower in Moscow for years without banning. edit: then Twitter restored NY Post account but ask them to delete the original post and repost...that just hilarious.

JK Rowling is still out there being able to share her opinions (similar to yours) to literally hundreds of millions of people so I doubt that this discourse is actually banned from twitter. I also can't wait for the day where this type of regressive speech will look as ridiculous as the fear on homosexuals in bathrooms not so long ago, but we might need to wait a few more years for that.

  It's especially ironic because, statistically speaking, the real threat is from cis people trying to police who gets to use the bathroom. This anti-trans panic has led to completely cisgender women being harassed and assaulted on top of the usual assaults on and harassments of trans women. The panic depends on the weird, contradictory belief that men need to dress up to assault women. Often from the same people who will insist all men are incredibly dangerous and do their harms out in the open. Actual doublethink.
