As Twitchy readers may recall, feminist Meghan Murphy was suspended on Twitter a few weeks back for refusing to call a man a woman. Seriously. We know, it sounds stupid even for Twitter but it’s true. Apparently, it was some sort of hate speech to point out the science behind sex.
Repeat after us, everything is stupid.
Welp, Meghan refused to be bullied into silence about her opinions on this topic and Twitter suspended her again.
My friend and feminist comrade Meghan Murphy has been banned from Twitter for saying a man is a man and not a woman. Let's make a massive stand against this bullshit!

It’s like Twitter wants to fail.
What’s most interesting about this particular incident is that women from both the Left and the Right are speaking out against this idea that a man can just decide he’s a woman and to question that is somehow hate speech. We spend years and years fighting for equality only to have men appropriate our sex?
Yeah, NO.
Can the left and right team up and put an end to ALL the bullshit? All the censorship, banning & suspensions? If we all team up, we might be able to achieve something. I'm willing to work with ANYONE to STOP these corporate masters from controlling our speech/thoughts.

Let’s do this! *sets bra on fire*
someone needs to invent a truly freedom of speech social media platform

There are a couple of options out there but they aren’t picking up much traction.
@twitter ban of feminists like #MeganMurphy and other #gendercriticalfeminists is putting women in harms way. Encouraging a free for all against free thinking feminists fighting for the human rights of women and girls. #twitter is spreading misogyny

Yup.
Who knew feminism would suddenly become a topic Conservative women are speaking in support of?
I gave birth to 3 children. Only FTM trans people can accomplish this. Because women have uteruses & ovaries. #Science

Reality says why should a man be able to change gender to a woman without the joys of periods, childbirth with no meds ( twice and not by choice) ,anti gravitational boobs ,peri menopause, leaking when laughing , and finally menopause. #TransMenAreNotWomen

Right? They want all of the good stuff about being a woman without having to deal with the reality of being a woman.
No wonder Meghan is so pissed about it.
