> Dude, you can get banned permanent from Twitter for writing "men aren't women". Happened to a famous Canadian feminist [0].

Your citation makes it pretty clear that's not what really happened, and that none of the tweets at issue said anything like "men aren't women".

Murphy got banned for referring to a specific individual by their former name and gender rather then their current name. Releasing this type of private information is similar to doxing a person and is considered a form of harassment under twitters rules.

The argument was that your supporting facts don’t support your argument, so the facts are right there?
