I can cherry-pick several thousand twitter messages (probably more) that make this quote seem like a soft, fluffy teddy bear. But no one here accuses twitter of being a terrorist platform. Your last line is absolutely correct: To make this obvious, this is not a free speech issue.

    And now 'they' are saying #womxn is transphobic on Twitter. So now everyone using that in the past and present is a transphobe apparently. The potential triggernometry in this complex inclusivity equation boggles my mind. EDIT: Downvoters: So this tweet is not accurate, No? [0] From the reply thread, it shows how 'they' and Twitch are now re-hijacking the artificial term 'womxn' to lose its so-called meaning such that it can be used to cancel those who used it in the past, even when the same progressives coined it! [1] This is how it starts. Redefine progressive terms, find famous person using it, call them out and demand them to apologise to the world right now for using that 'hateful' term they used in the past or be cancelled. All of this because of Gamergate.

      You are overthinking it too much.

        Both the hashtag you mentioned and the tweets in my comment says it all, proves both of our points and is true. Is it not?

        There is a difference between genocide and pronouns. First one affect many people, second not so much. First one is pushing Overton window, second is just tiny twitter drama. If anything this BS is great. During gamergate we had to take all the hate without flinching. Today just answer something like "Does #killallmen include transmen?"

      Trans-exclusionary radical feminist. So basically feminists that believe the femininity is endangered by the mere existence of male-to-female transgender people. So basically transphobes that also larp as feminists.

    Please do not support transphobia.

      For the record, I support mainstream trans rights. I fail to see how evidence of hate and violence coming from trans extremists is transphobic.

Just because twitter has illegal content doesn't make what parler was doing any less illegal. Just because someone else breaks the law doesn't give you a free pass. This is not a free speech issue on any social media. Amazon had every right to stop illegal activity on their platform.

  I believe the "law" should be applied equally. "Illegal activity" ignored on one platform or given a wink and nod and scanned under a microscope on the other platform is strange. The selective application of policy while pretending to be fair and unbiased tends to make folks cynical.
