Why is Twitter (and, it seems, all Wokedom) doing this? What is it about? If antisemitic conspiracy theorist Jennifer Bilek is right (her research is solid but some of the conclusions she comes to off the back of it are way out there), it's the enforcement of a new religion called "transhumanism." Don't believe me? See what they deem "hateful:"
Yes indeed, stating that sex is dimorphic in humans is hateful, though to be fair to them, they restored my account the minute I sent them the link that proves intersex people are still either male or female, no matter how they present.
Apparently, it's also hateful to point out that transwomen are male. The insanity is everywhere, from academia downwards. Here's "Distinguished Chair" Susan Stryker of Mills College, Oakland, California:
Who's doing research on rightwing orgs in the US funding UK T*RFS? DM me?

We ratioed the hell out of her; it's her side that's getting all the money. Where's mine?
They really are desperate. Fionne Orlander was too gracious to provide the name of the person who was threatening her, demanding information on ROGD parent groups — as if Fionne actually knows who runs them.

Someone called Lauren was hit at the same time; apparently the perpetrator is "What the trans."
This is the kind of mentality that drives this nonsense: why is Twitter on their side and not ours? And why is it enforcing this misinformation?
Misogyny rules the roost
Any time I engage with these people (which I do in order to peak their audience), they sooner or later reveal their misogyny. There are two types of misogyny: the male ones who do the dominating, and the female ones who do the enforcing in return for position.
If you doubt that I'm right that the whole entire trans movement is about pushing women out of public life, let me prove it to you.
Sisters Uncut
This is a trans rights organisation that pretends to be feminists, but is basically a bunch of rape apologists. They're violent and abuse women who will not submit to them. Everything, and I mean everything, must be subordinated to men, or it gets attacked. Even a vigil for a murdered woman. They paid an actress, Patsy Stevenson, to front the campaign, then raised funds on the back of it to pay for people's bail if they got arrested, pretending it was for women's causes. Anyone who questions where it's going is transphobic. While the front organisation calls itself "Reclaim These Streets," Sisters Uncut are demanding some of the money.
No safe spaces
One of the hallmarks of the movement is the denial of single-sex anything. I've got a whole thread on this in my bookmarks. They're desperate to get men into women's prisons on the grounds that "gender," an unquantifiable feeling, is more "real" than sex. It doesn't matter if they are convicted rapists or not, their feelings matter much more than womens' dignity and safety. Any difficulties that they face by not being welcomed with open arms by the female population then becomes a literal "get out of jail free" card. We are not allowed spaces away from men, end of. Refusing to allow them unchallenged and unquestioned into our spaces is perceived as a violation of their rights, which justifies any violent threats they issue as a result. They and they alone matter, women and girls and their demands and needs are nothing to them unless they centre them.
How enforcement directs discourse
Twitter users get banned for violating their standards, which are basically "Women and girls are fair game, don't criticise male people who claim a trans identity." When they do this, they're effectively directing public discourse towards their ideological positions by limiting what can be said about them. Dissenters get banned. I nearly got banned for stating one scientifically accepted fact, and had to delete another scientifically accepted fact, that trans women are male, to get my original account back.
By describing dissenters as hateful and allowing people who make threats to "TERFs" to carry on unhindered, Twitter creates a social environment that chills dissent and enforces a new heteronormativity in which packers (fake genitals) for kids can be shilled (and celebrated) but sex-segregated spaces for women can not.
When authority figures, academia, and the media get involved, it's a pincer movement designed to force us out of public life and accept the new normal.
If you can't accept that the trans discourse is malevolent misinformation, that's on you. If you can't accept that Twitter is enforcing its political views on people, that's on you, until you fall foul of them.
What can we do?
We need to keep on talking and dissenting as much as we can. Moving to other platforms where we've got less reach cedes the public stage to the abusers; we can not afford to do this. We should also be reaching out to representatives and working to ensure that sex remains a protected characteristic under the law. I'm trying to put together a conference to discuss the creeping misogyny of this movement but haven't had much of a response. This situation will not change until we change it. Get involved!
