Above: Biden’s nominee for assistant secretary of health, Rachel Levine
Brandon Showalter – Christian Post Jan 29, 2021
Twitter has suspended a Christian magazine’s account for reporting that one of President Joe Biden’s nominees is a man who believes he’s a woman.
The Daily Citizen, a publication of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family, tweeted on Jan. 19 that Biden’s nominee for assistant secretary of health, Rachel Levine, “is a transgender woman, that is, a man who believes he is a woman,” along with a link to an article about the nomination.
As a result, the social media giant locked the magazine out of its account, informing the publication that the tweet violated Twitter’s user rules forbidding “hateful conduct.”
The Daily Citizen appealed the suspension but was informed that its account will remain locked until it deletes the tweet.
Twitter wrote in a subsequent email to the magazine: “Hi The Daily Citizen, your account, @FocusCitizen has been locked for violating the Twitter Rules. Specifically for: Violating our rules against hateful conduct. You may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.”
“Please note that repeated violations may lead to a permanent suspension of your account,” the email said. “Proceed to Twitter now to fix the issue with your account.”
The Daily Citizen said in its reply to Twitter that numerous media outlets have reported on the nomination and wrote in their articles that Levine was born male and remains a man who believes he is female. Levine has undergone elective cosmetic surgery and taken cross-sex hormones in an attempt to look more like a woman physically.
The magazine has insisted that it never promoted violence and rejected Twitter’s claims that it violated its rules.
“As a Christian organization, we would never do so. We simply explained to our readers the appointment and defined what transgender women are — those born male who believe they are a woman, regardless of whether they have had opposite-sex hormones or surgeries.”
“We believe Twitter’s blocking of this tweet and lockdown of our account discriminates against Focus on the Family’s The Daily Citizen on the basis of our religious affiliation.”
Twitter has persisted in its insistence that the publication violated its user rules and rejected the publication’s appeal. The platform said the ban would not be overturned.
Big tech’s censorship of voices who state biological facts in the context of transgender issues and policies has not been limited to religious or philosophically conservative accounts on the platform.
In November 2018, Twitter updated its policies to prohibit users from tweeting the birth names of trans-identifying people — which transgender activists refer to as “dead-naming” — or from using biologically accurate pronouns when tweeting about trans-identifying people.
Transgender advocates call the use of “he” to describe a male who identifies as female “misgendering.” Both dead-naming and misgendering are akin to “abuse” and “violence,” according to trans-activists.
For example, Twitter permanently booted radical feminist journalist Meghan Murphy from the platform after she tweeted that “men aren’t women.” Twitter took this action days before it instituted its trans-activist policy.
Murphy wrote in an editorial at the time that “while Twitter knowingly permits graphic pornography and death threats on the platform (I have reported countless violent threats, the vast majority of which have gone unaddressed), they won’t allow me to state very basic facts, such as ‘men aren’t women.'”
“This is hardly an abhorrent thing to say, nor should it be considered ‘hateful’ to ask questions about the notion that people can change sex, or ask for explanations about transgender ideology,” she said.
Could he still impregnate a woman? Possibly. Could he bear a child? Never! So while it’s not clear enough to say he’s still a man (who knows what surgery he’s had done?) it’s evidently clear he’s not a woman.
Trying to claim this thing’s a woman means they’re just taking the piss with us now.
Is it a man – is it a woman – os is it simply an it ?
Why do people not simply stop using Twitter – Facebook too ? Stop using them. Simply close them down by not using them ! Destroy the power and influence they exercise over people by not using them. I have never used either of them . I have never used whatsapp (if that´s even how it´s spelt) nor have I felt in any way excluded because I will not use them.
Are there not alternatives ?
Just a thought.
When transsexuals started, I always made a point of establishing the actual sex of the person. Except in a few cases it is always obvious. They will, however, increase the number of those exceptions because of the mono- obsession of One God, One Race, One Sex, One Land, One Fuhrer, One language, which all comes from My One Ego. It rejects the dualistic fact of Nature. In about 1992 I rejected transsexuals because I heard they usually went straight into prostitution.

Benny Hill was far more attractive as a woman…
It is a great deal more insidious than the article suggests.
On a scientific footing if the genes of the subject creature are made up of X & Y chromosomes one is a male despite what one believes or pretends.
On a more logical footing we note that the LGBT lobby says that one’s gender is entirely subject to one’s choice, and therefore is essentially a subjective concept. Yet, when we say that if gender is so incidental that a person can go back and forth from one gender designation to another depending on what they wear, or do their hair, then they should not take offence to anyone freely banding about words like, “he” and “she”, or misapplying the terminology. We are after all equal aren’t we? It seems they should not be offended by any confusion of the sexes and that they would welcome the integration.
On the completely irrational and totalitarian “will-to-power” footing, the lobby wants to criminalize any gender designation in a person’s language which does not conform to their will despite the science or the logic. Like abortion they want to suggest that it is all a matter of choice and that their choice is absolute. To them everyone has to respect their personal choices to do what they want with their own bodies, but they expect while defying science, logic, and all of the time-tested conventions and customs of our civilization, that no one has a right to exercise their right of free speech in that respect.
We see a similar process taking shape on the LGBT front as with what happened with the abortion issue. The abortion advocates say that the woman’s choice to abort a child is based on the right to do what she wants with her own body. To that it is countered by saying, that such a right ends with the beginning of the life of another, and that when a “child in being”, or person, is vulnerable and dependent on anyone, no matter what the stage of development, no one has a right to exploit, harm, or kill the child, and the mother in particular has a duty of care, to nurture and protect the child.
The LGBT lobby also has extended and stretched all norms and limits with respect to making changes to their own bodies, but notice like with abortion their limits to their freedoms do not end there. They extend them into the language and the basic free-speech rights of others, taking offence to confused gender designations when they are the ones who have caused the confusion and in fact revel in it. Like with abortion, they want to fly outside all conventional limits, stretching and extending things into the rights of others, in order to normalize against nature what they are doing, arguing irrationally that everyone can be free to do what they want except those who disagree with them.
However, the similarity does not stop there. To make their fantasies real they have to extend them into the lives of others, not just with language and criminal prosecution for any violation of any thoughts to the contrary, but they also think that that freedom to do and say what they want over their own bodies, gives them a right to change the minds, thoughts, and genders of any vulnerable person or child they want to change.
Coincidentally, the governments which control us and which are no longer really “our” governments have fully backed and institutionalized both the abortion and the LBGT movements, and all extensions into infanticide, euthanasia, denial of parental care rights and duties, and LBGT sex changes on children, as well as “coincidentally” it is these same and very perverted governments which are totally responsible for the child trafficking and sex trade industries flourishing in our societies.
This pervert definitely fits today’s definition of “the science”!!!
In every society people who feel wronged have recourse to the law and the courts. The world seems to have forgotten that.
It’s not for Twitter to decide who is right or wrong.
People you MUST understand this.
If that person doesn’t like to be called a man then he must take the person who called him a man to court and let the judges decide.
Twitter has taken it upon themselves to make judgment…
The supreme courts and constitutional judges must decide on this matter as the law is being swept aside.
Brandon is one of the most beautiful transgender women I’ve ever seen.
mark borah – it is NOT for judges to decide. It is for the JURY to decide. Judges only adjudicate. however
nature is a duality without which NOTHING can survive. as for humans you are either born with an X or Y chromosone and that cannot be changed. it is clear that being a transgender, homosexuals, lesbians etc is all in the mind.
Transgenderism is irredeemably sinister. It is a cascade of multiplying traumas, posited as therapy.
It is manifest intent, codified in Protocol #5 – of the plans contrived by the Learned Elders of Zion – as the seeding of confusions so as to stupefy and dispirit non-jews.
The Archontic forces mean to so thoroughly bamboozle the western mind with novel moral prerogatives that, the contention is, a neurosis of indifference will emerge to incapacitate Europeans.
Jews are wary to the point of trembling, of the Aryan ethic of self-reliance and the custom of acting upon inspired individual initiative. They seek to expunge this quality from our hearts until such native resource is extinguished and can no longer be availed. It’s in this state of moral dissolution, that gentiles will perceive the desirability of the model of stability exampled by jews and seek succour and direction from the very same malefically-intentioned agency that seeks to deprive them of the same critical faculty which mitigates their survival.
Transgenderism is but one front among multiple offensives now engaged against us. It is, however, a real and present danger to school children; to women and girls who are increasingly imperilled by the intrusion of sexual predators into toilets and changing rooms where they would naturally expect a discretion for the privacy to perform their ablutions or dye their hair or whatever it is they get up to, from covetous gynophiles and narcissistic imposters, who use law to sanction voyeuristic or perverted compulsions and worse, aim to target victims for sexual violences.
Transexuals must not be allowed to threaten our women and children with such arrogant impunity. They should be physically prevented from entering women and girls’ wash-rooms by husbands, boyfriends, sons and brothers. They will comply or meet the upward arc of a boot in their tender loins.
Transexual men choosing to compete in women’s sports should be booed, jeered and leave the field stinking of sulphurously repellent rotten eggs and decorated with mouldy, maggot-ridden tomatoes. It should further be made unequivocally clear that any continued mockery or intimidation of the women and children we love and value, will occasion injury sufficient to prohibit their participation in sporting games in perpetuity.
Kellie-Jay Keen, (formerly Posie Parker) keeps close vigil over transgender outrages and reports on its clockwork activists’ newest hostilities. Kellie-Jay is gritty and forthright and focussed exclusively on the depredations of the very wealthy “trans lobby.” She is perhaps as yet, short of understanding with regard the jewish metaphysic driving the gender dysphoria hullaballoo but there have been flighty intimations recently that she is beginning to weigh up this core issue now. Either way, her multi-platform vlogspot is worth a watch and in particular I think she would appeal to women truthseekers.
Imagine a period during nascent creation – before the heavens have even separated from the primal waters of non-being – when the yin meets the yang – only for the yin to discover that the yang is, in fact, “transitioning” and that there’s nought but messy surgical cicatrices inside his underpants.
@ Mark Borah
Good luck on that one. Who do you think appoints our judges these days? The courts are long gone on all of the traditional moral issues as are our governments, the media, and educational institutions,
Why is any one still using Twitter? When an organization bans your free speech and you continue to use it then you are asking for your speech to be censored. Anyone who complains about Twitter gets no sympathy from me. If you use Twitter or Facebook or even YouTube then you are saying that you accept censorship of your speech and accept being treated like a child by your Jewish masters. If that is what you want then go ahead and use it but don’t complain about it afterwards. If you had any sense you would have boycotted them long ago. I have been banned from all three for speaking my mind and I’m okay with that. I will never use them.
