Censorship reversal: 'What is a Woman' doc reinstated on Twitter - head of Trust and Safety resigns -- Society's Child -- Sott.net

Ella Irwin, Twitter’s former head of trust and safety

Head of Twitter Trust and Safety is reported to have resigned on Thursday.

This comes after a deal between Twitter and The Daily Wire to promote the year anniversary of Matt Walsh's What Is a Woman? documentary was collapsed over "misgendering."

A report from Forbes stated that "Ella Irwin, Twitter's head of trust and safety and one of Elon Musk's top lieutenants, is no longer in Twitter's internal slack, according to a source familiar and a screenshot of her deactivated account viewed by Fortune."

Reuters reporter Sheila Dang said that Irwin's resignation was confirmed.

"Confirmed," Dang wrote, "Ella Irwin tells me she resigned today." She shared a tweet on the scoop from Fortune.

Irwin's Twitter bio is still tagged with the official badge of Twitter.

After Daily Wire CEO took to Twitter to address the controversy over the deal, Elon Musk responded saying that the refusal of Twitter to honor the deal was a mistake by many people at Twitter.

Warnings from Twitter on Walsh's tweets about the film showed that the film may "violate" terms of service and that the reach of the tweets would be limited.

Musk took over Twitter in the fall of 2022, and has set about transforming the platform to be more friendly to free speech and advocates for speech.

Prior to Musk's takeover, accounts being banned or suppressed for misgendering, the act of using pronouns for a person that refer to their biological sex as opposed to the gender they imagine themselves to be, was not uncommon.

Noted women's rights activists Meghan Murphy was banned for referring to a man as "him" after he had demanded women immigrant aestheticians in Canada wax his "female" testicles.

The picture at the top inspired me to say this....

Men become woke for the chance they might be allowed into some woke pussy.

Wimpy soft cocks. Man up you clowns, it isn't worth it.

It's great you like woman but these woke bitches are witches. Hollywood made them so.

It’s not “misgendering” if you’re addressing them as the gender they actually are. You don’t get to say you’re a woman and then expect everyone else to play along with you. Everyone has a right to live in objective reality, to call the sky blue and call a spade a spade if so inclined. Transgender people, if they had any self respect, would accept this as an unfortunate reality they must live with.

I hate one of the comments in the Twitter post. "Respect is earned, not given". I totally disagree. And I see that saying as a societal issue.

So that means. You have no respect for someone you just met ? That seems so absurd to me.

To me, respect is given freely. Everyone deserves respect. Until they don't. Then once you lose it, it's like trust. Very hard to gain back. But to never have it from the beginning from someone. Well those people will never get mine and I don't care if I ever get theirs !

letscit45 I agree. Perhaps "initial respect should be assumed, but continued respect is earned, and not by demanding it"?

"respect my pronouns!!!"

"no, fuck off"

I think we need a "global" pronoun for those who want something other than he/she/they. I suggest "it", please feel free to make that any acronym you want.

Dwoods44 A portmanteau of S he / H e / It seems the obvious way to go ... anything come to mind?

HashAttack2 As info, the link for What is a Woman above did not work for me. Here is another one, let's see.

Dwoods44 The first part of the film is Max interviewing lots of people mostly who support transgenderism, and no one gives a definition of "woman".

Beginning at the 50 minute mark, Max begins interviews trying to understand how this "transgender" movement began. Excellent.

When Max asks a Pediatrician who administers hormone blockers, he asks is Lupron chemical castration, And the Pediatrician ends the interview.

Dwoods44 At about the 1:16:00 mark Max focuses on "social contagion", that kids who don't have an identity join an internet group that promotes a "gender fluid" identity.

This reminds me of the DARPA program "Next Generation Social Science" where it researches how collective identities are formed and controlled. The director at the time, said in an interview, "collective identity" is the most important area of research for National Security.
