As we’ve learned over the past couple of days, “deadnaming” is taken very seriously by Twitter, which said it made a mistake by letting actor Elliot Page’s deadname trend. As we reported, Jordan Peterson was suspended after tweeting that “Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician.” It didn’t stop there: Dave Rubin was suspended for tweeting a screenshot of Peterson’s tweet.
Peterson has said he’s not going to give in and delete his tweet, but Rubin broke down once he’d realized the error of his ways.
After much deliberation I have decided to delete the tweet of a screenshot which got me suspended from Twitter.
Elliot Page is a great man who must never be questioned. As for Ellen Page, well, she was less great…pic.twitter.com/F6FtW0SJHa

For the record, I strongly considered not coming back, and perhaps that is the right move. They will slowly purge anyone who tells the truth, that much is clear. But for now I chose to stay and fight on their territory while we build better products at @onlocals and @rumblevideo.

Who is the woman in this video? I can't seem to find her anywhere!

In fact, Elliot Page is such a manly man that Chuck Norris looks up to him for guidance on manliness.

He is the best 4’ 11” 85 lb leading man in the game right now. There’s just no contest, it so obvious.

I think we should really honor them by burning all their movies/life achievements to the ground that were made prior to their holy transition.

I gotta start watching Colbert. He and his guests are hilarious. That one looks like Elliot Page in drag. I mean spot-on.

I had to delete a tweet yesterday to get back into my account on this issue! What a 🤡🌎 we live in right now

Wait… shouldn’t they ban you again for posting this, since it has been proven false? I’m so confused how this all works

He named that who cannot be named in his tweet, too. Rubin’s getting suspended again.
