Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) said Saturday that his official Twitter account had been suspended over a post he made about Department of Health and Human Services assistant secretary for health Rachel Levine, who is transgender.
According to a screenshot posted of the tweet, Banks said “the title of first female four-star officer gets taken by a man,” a reference to Levine, who became the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps' first openly transgender four-star officer.
“The account referenced has been temporarily locked for violating our Hateful Conduct Policy. The account owner is required to delete the violative Tweet before regaining access to their account,” a Twitter spokesperson told The Hill in a statement.
According to Twitter’s hateful conduct policy, hateful conduct can include “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.”
Banks stood by his decision to issue the tweet. In a statement issued through Twitter on Saturday from his personal account, he said, “My tweet was a statement of fact. Big Tech doesn’t have to agree with me, but they shouldn’t be able to cancel me. If they silence me, they will silence you.”
Banks used his Twitter suspension as momentum for Republicans in the 2022 midterms, saying that “when Republicans take back the House next year, we must restore honesty to our public forums and hold Big Tech accountable.”

It’s only true. Levine is a man.
If they can get you to acquiesce to gender dystopia, they can get you to acquiesce to anything.
Truth is Hate.
Never succumb to the lying language of the left. They are Marxists, and the only approach they use is deception.
Rep. Banks did not “misgender” anyone. In fact, he correctly identified the gender of the person involved.
You wouldn’t last 5 minutes on twitter!
He didn’t “misgender” anything.

Truth is not hateful.
Is twitter ever hacked? Man, it would be great to see that sewer get taken down.
Every red state needs to “suspend” twitter for election interference. That would put a major dent in their ad revenue.
That pervert is still just a dude in a dress.
Since I’ve never spent 5 minutes on Twitter, it’s all good.
An ugly dude.
The feminists eked out space and spaces for women, and now only the TERFeminists are fighting back.
And every time conservatives in the past said, this will lead to..., they were accused of employing the slippery slope fallacy while at the same time leftists use the very worst forecasts as their standards.
Relativity socks.

The Trans Nazis run the Twittsewer.
Dick(less) Levine.
Twitter suspends almost everyone who isn’t woke. The place is a graveyard.
These people are play acting. That’s all it is, playing a role.
