I remember someone getting banned for a tweet saying "Men are different from women". Not even a conservative person, and a very mild take at that.

See e.g. https://www.nationalreview.com/news/journalist-sues-twitter-...

Getting banned for wrongthink on the old Twitter was a rite of passage, almost every content creator I follow (mostly gaming youtubers, nothing spicy or even controversial) got banned at least once.



What you quoted here and the article you linked are extremely different things. The article states "referring to a transgender individual by their biological sex and opining that “women aren’t men.”". You may not agree with that decision, but I hope you can understand that difference.


I might've linked a different story than the one I thought of — was a result of a quick google search, sorry.

The tweet I've seen wasn't directed at anyone, just a sentence to the effect of "Women are different from men". By a feminist, so likely not a conservative.

Harassing a trans person is terrible behavior, sure. Like with any other person. (I.e. that's not a wrongthink issue.)
