Twitter suspends US Senate candidate for hateful conduct
The Associated Press ^ | March 1, 2022

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A U.S. Senate candidate for Missouri says she has no plans to delete a transphobic tweet that violated Twitter’s rules against hateful conduct, even after the social media platform said she won’t be able to tweet, retweet, follow or like posts until she does.

Twitter suspended [Republican] Vicky Hartzler ’s personal account on Monday.

Hartzler’s tweet, posted in mid-February, said: “Women’s sports are for women, not men pretending to be women,” and included her TV ad targeting transgender people in sports and particularly University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas.

A statement from Hartzler’s campaign called the suspension “shameful, utterly ridiculous, and a horrible abuse of censorship by big tech giants to stifle free speech.” The campaign said Hartzler will not delete the tweet.

She said the truth. Womens sports are for women, not men pretending to be women.

I checked the Apple store I wanted to read some of the 65k reviews trying to understand how someone can review something that they haven’t used. I accidently gave it a 5 star review.

Dumb me.

XX or XY. You do not get to choose. Sorry.


Of course you don’t get to choose. Some wish to pretend. I don’t care if a guy chooses to wear a dress, but I don’t understand why such an obvious mental illness is now being celebrated and encouraged.

Someone, not me, compared it to an eating disorder. Do we tell someone starving to death, “You’re right, you are too fat. You know, you can vomit up your meal to lose weight.” Are doctors encouraged to perform bariatric surgery on 70-pound young women? Of course not.

I see nothing wrong with that statement...plus, did anyone check the complainer's DNA? You can't wish you were a woman or man if you aren't.

Hopefully this will prompt Tucker to feature her and have the net effect of boosting her campaign…

If I encountered the twitter employee who did this, I would literally lay hands on this person and slap them until they cried.

Good. It sounds like you're finally ready to deal with your political opponents yourself instead of asking the government to do it.

If and When the Repubs come back into power again, you’ll be able to measure their salt by how hostile they are to companies/corporation like this. If they are not just as vengeful as the Dems, then you know that you’ve been had by the party once again.

how is this phobic in anyway?

Transphobia: denying that biological men who choose to regard themselves as women are "real women" (or vice versa).

To the Satanic Derp State, telling the truth is “phobic” and “hateful.”

Um, what???

Can’t say I understand your point. I responded to a FReeper’s comment “Never apologize to the enemy” which has absolutely nothing to with the statement you quoted in your response to me, and thus, I have no idea how to respond to you.

Perhaps your response was intended for another FReeper?

I don’t think bitchslapping a Nazi pawn will do much good. To get at the root of the problem will require the government to go scorched earth on them.
