  "men aren't women though"? I'm really just checking if I know what to look at because I don't normally go to moms net is that what you're referring to?

    Yes that's right. This is about Meghan Murphy, a journalist and feminist activist from Canada. That's what she tweeted when Musk let her back on Twitter, in reference to having been banned, temporarily, for saying "men aren't women though" in 2018. Later that year, she was then banned indefinitely for replying "yeah it's him" in reference to a male who had sued a number of female aestheticians in Vancouver for refusing to wax his scrotum. But, because this male identified himself as a woman, Murphy was banned from Twitter for "misgendering" him. This was, in general, a category of speech you weren't allowed to express on Twitter in the pre-Musk era. Even if you were talking about a male who was attempting to force women to touch his ballsack by court order. The Mumsnet link is from when she returned to Twitter, in the later comments it has a bit more backstory of what happened.
