Biology Not Welcome on Twitter
Jazz Shaw:
Twitter has apparently determined that even asking questions about the non-scientific idea that men can be women (and vice versa) based on nothing more than their feelings is hate speech. Even if we leave aside the problematic issue of defining anyone's opinions as hate speech and suppressing them, this really speaks to the hollowness of arguments in support of transgender activism. The entire purpose of science is to ask questions, conduct research, generate conclusions and have those conclusions challenged by one's peers.
When you have no answers to the challenges and instead respond by shutting down the ability of others to ask questions, that's basically the opposite of science. And the activists in question are not satisfied with simply getting Twitter to enforce their new "rules." They want the government to do so as well. So if you don’t see me on Twitter much in the near future, you can probably look for me on Gab or some other platform.
