Comply - Or Be Silenced: Twitter Suspends Christian Group

Twitter suspends major Christian group

It's not just President Trump and the MyPillow guy Mike Lindell who are facing the wrath of Twitter in recent days.

Now, the social-media giant has suspended Focus on the Family, an influential Christian-based family organization.

The supposed crime? Its "Daily Citizen" publication stated factual information regarding the biological sex of Rachel Levine, President Biden's assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services.

"As I've noted before, Big Tech titans are the new emperors of the twenty-first century, wielding an inordinate amount of power by silencing individuals and organizations that don't comport or cave to their political or social point of view," wroteJim Daly, president of Focus on the Family.

"This past week, Twitter locked The Daily Citizen for an alleged rules violation, specifically that we had posted 'hateful' content. It's simply not true. We did no such thing," he continued.

At issue was a Tweet pointing to a story about Dr. Rachel Levine, President Biden's controversial nominee for Assistant Secretary for Health at the Department of Health and Human Services.

The tweet included the following sentence:

"Dr. Levine is a transgender woman, that is, a man who believes he is a woman."

It seems, according to Twitter, simply acknowledging biological fact is now "hateful."

As we noted to Twitter in our appeal (we have since been denied), we were deeply puzzled as to why we're not permitted to simply acknowledge the definition of what transgender women are – those born male who believe they are a woman, regardless of whether they have had opposite-sex hormones or surgeries.

The article itself had absolutely nothing to do with Dr. Levine's "trans" identification. It had to do with his fitness for the job based on his previous record.

We've asked Twitter to explain what was wrong with our wording and even asked them how we might describe Dr. Levine to their liking. At this writing, we haven't heard back.

You will comply – or be silenced.

The "Cancel Culture" is barreling down the track like a runaway train on a mountain pass, threatening to run over anyone in its path.
