Twitter has banned another conservative, this time for telling the truth about “transgenders,” the men and woman who pretend or mistakenly believe they are members of the opposite sex and demand to be treated as such.
Say those unfortunate people are mentally ill, and into exile one goes.
The latest victim is Matt Margolis, who said as much in an exchange about the “victory” of “Lia” Thomas, the University of Pennsylvania swimmer who pretends he is a woman and won the NCAA’s 500-yard freestyle championship last week.
Margolis told what might be the truth about “Lia” — real name, William — and Twitter banned him.
No Telling the Truth
“I figured it was inevitable that Twitter would find a reason to suspend me from their platform permanently, and now they finally have,” Margolis wrote for PJMedia.
A social worker had tweeted that we must not insult “transgenders” no matter our opinion about Thomas.
“No matter your opinion on Lia Thomas, I urge you to discuss the topic as if a transgender person were in the room,” Justin Spiro said. “Because one probably is.”
In fact, one probably isn’t, but in any event, the social worker continued:
We can agree or disagree with the NCAA without insulting our transgender friends, classmates, and neighbors.…
40% of transgender youth attempt suicide.
Prefacing your Lia Thomas criticisms with “Trans people have value” or “I respect trans people” is not difficult — and can literally save lives.
That 40 percent attempt suicide because they don’t get the psychiatric care they need to disabuse them of the false belief they are wrong sex, as renowned psychiatrist Paul McHugh has repeatedly explained to no avail.
Margolis answered, and was sent packing for his trouble.
“Trans people represent a fraction of a percent of the population,” he wrote, and said that even if he were in a room with a person so afflicted, “I’d tell them the truth: they have a mental disorder.”
Not all of them are mentally ill; some are faking it to get into the ladies’ restroom or, perhaps, dominate in a women’s sport because they are weak men who cannot compete where they belong.
Thomas was a mediocre swimmer until he decided he was a woman and jumped in the pool with the weaker sex.
Continued Margolis:
I was given no warning, and I woke up to find that my account was locked and suspended. Appeals were made, and Twitter promptly sent form responses back.
In short, I am now banned from Twitter. For telling the truth.
Gender dysphoria/gender identity disorder was until very recently considered a mental disorder. No one can honestly say that the decision to no longer classify it as such was based on objective science.
Strike Two
That, of course, is McHugh’s point, as he wrote for The Public Discourse:
The idea that one’s sex is fluid and a matter open to choice runs unquestioned through our culture and is reflected everywhere in the media, the theater, the classroom, and in many medical clinics. It has taken on cult-like features: its own special lingo, internet chat rooms providing slick answers to new recruits, and clubs for easy access to dresses and styles supporting the sex change. It is doing much damage to families, adolescents, and children and should be confronted as an opinion without biological foundation wherever it emerges.
This is Margolis’ a second strike on the “transgender” issue.
When he tweeted that Richard “Rachel” Levine, the No. 2 federal health official as assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services, is a man, Twitter forced him to delete it.
“I’m sorry; I don’t give a damn what Twitter thinks,” Margolis wrote:
Rachel Levine is a man, and Twitter banning me won’t change this biological fact. Rachel Levine can call himself a woman all he wants, but that doesn’t mean he’s right. This is what is so dangerous about the transgender movement. They aren’t satisfied unless the rest of us validate how they feel. It’s not enough for a man to call himself a woman. The rest of us are expected to participate in that delusion. They think their right to believe what they want trumps our right to believe the facts.
Does Twitter think they’ve won by banning me? They haven’t.
Maybe, but the “transgenders” certainly think they have won. If they are right, women’s sports are doomed.
