We have no doubt that this has happened to a lot of people, but Fox Business decided to pick up the story of a Spanish politician, Francisco José Contreras, who was given a 12-hour suspension for tweeting that “a man cannot get pregnant” because they have “no uterus or eggs.”

Contreras’ comments were in response to an article he shared on the social media platform about a transgender male who announced they were a father after giving birth to a baby girl.
Contreras said in a Facebook post on May 11 that he had received a message from Twitter which informed him that he had violated its policies on “hate speech” for the remarks.”
According to Twitter, Contreras violated its policy against material that threatens, harasses, or fosters violence against other people on the basis of their race, ethnic origin, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religion, age, disability or disease.
Contreras’ suspension led to the creation of an #AManCannotBePregnant hashtag campaign.
Men can't give birth.

For a group so obsessed with science, they sure abandoned science quickly!

I see nothing wrong here what he said is factually correct

Men cannot give birth. That’s just a fact.

Maybe they were confused by a politician telling the truth.

When I was a kid, probably in first grade, the teacher read the story about the emperors new clothes. Even as a young tyke, I was incredulous. Now, many decades later I understand how true story was.

If I say the grass is green, will they suspend me too? 😲

Honestly, you can never know what will get you suspended. “Learn to code” could get you suspended.
Excellent. Drive people further to the right. Keep it coming.

Well they should. Because it’s offensive. Men give birth all the time. Follow the science. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

That’s enough. For God’s sake, who made these people the ruling class. We are one sad, confused, twisted society on the verge of collapse from within. Move over Mao, here we come.

Twitter in 2021 is the Church in 1633, when Galileo dared to say that Earth moved around the Sun. Life is basically the struggle for liberty between humanity and its zealots who want to bring it back to the dark ages.

Twitter should publish a list of beliefs that are deemed true and acceptable so that we know… Censorship
— My Evening Out (@MyEveningOut) May 17, 2021
Such a radical and provocative statement demands liberal Stalinist Censorship.

@FoxBusiness this story is much bigger than you know. @SamBarber1910 has a pinned thread of all the things women have been suspended on here for saying. It is time someone did a big exposé on it.

Can't argue with science, unless it interferes with being woke…

It is kind of crazy how society has been working its way through the letters in LGBT and finally arrived at the point where “T” is not an allowed topic of discussion; Jack and friends are trying to “correct” your thoughts by censoring your words.
