"BTW I'm no longer on Medium...I got suspended last week for....well, I still don't know exactly what as they haven't told me. But I haven't begged for my account back yet and they never answered my initial query. If I had to put money on it I'd say my defense of Dave Chappelle and harsh words toward transactivist extremists"

No way, really?! Have they still not gotten back to you? As much as I try to ignore conspiracy theories about "censorship", I've noticed that articles that Medium seems to take a very hard line with ant criticism of trans ideology, however polite or reasonable. Critical articles don't do well either it seems. I have a few things to say over the next few weeks so we'll see how that goes😅 Hope you get back there soon.
I won't be. I reminded them again they never told me why it was suspended, just quoted the chunk of the community guidelines which always seems to be about 'hateful' rhetoric and inciting violence. The first article they took down was White People Who Hate White People Are Racist which was a takedown of white self-hatred (but I never called on Black LIves Matter to kill all the idiot liberals, lol) and the one I wrote suggesting that if we accept gender-switching at face value, if we can accept that a man can become a woman and vice versa, what's so terribly about race-switching like Rachel Dolezal? And I noted black people can do it too and I cited Michael Jackson as evidence that black people *can* become white if they have the money for it. Whether Jackson was trying to look more white or not, he had vitiligo but I've never been convinced that was the sole reason, black people *can* go white if they want. And then the Dave Chappelle thing was the last straw. (What the hell else would it be?) I'd already decided that if they suspended my account I was out of there. I have to be free to say what needs to be said and it's clear from my experience and some details others have shared with me that Medium DOES have an unofficial anti-trans-critique policy there.
So as a consequence I've gotten VERY interested in the science behind transgender issues, the mob takedowns of any scientist who doesn't support their ideology, and especially The Trans Taboo That Must Not Be Named, autogynephilia, which seems to explain a LOT about why transactivists act and speak so much like traditional, old-school, garden variety misogynist cis-het men, oozing with entitlement and more willing to attack women/feminists who stand up to them, rather than the male attackers of transfolk who are the REAL problem.
