Spanish politician suspended by Twitter after saying ‘a man cannot get pregnant’

It’s biology, not bigotry!!!!

Fox-

Francisco José Contreras, deputy to Spain’s far-right Vox Party, was locked out of his Twitter account for 12 hours last week after saying “a man cannot get pregnant” because they have “no uterus or eggs.”

Contreras’ comments were in response to an article he shared on the social media platform about a transgender male who announced they were a father after giving birth to a baby girl. 

Contreras said in a Facebook post on May 11 that he had received a message from Twitter which informed him that he had violated its policies on “hate speech” for the remarks.” 

“The hateful tweet (which I was forced to delete) was one that said: ′′A man cannot get pregnant. A man has no womb or eggs”,” Contreras wrote in response to the move. “You can see this is already fascist biology. Next time I’ll try 2 + 2 = 4.”

According to Twitter, Contreras violated its policy against material that threatens, harasses, or fosters violence against other people on the basis of their race, ethnic origin, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religion, age, disability or disease. 

“Keep in mind that repeated defaults may lead to permanent suspension of your account,” Twitter warned. “Go to Twitter now to fix the problem with your account.”

Contreras’ supporters have started#AManCannotBePregnant in response to Twitter’s decision.

  1. Stop saying that a “man” can’t have a baby. They secretly redefined the word “man”. Don’t let them.

    You will get nowhere, or worse, into trouble, by first not recognizing — and addressing and arguing with — that definitional issue.

    Man, woman, male, female are about what reproductive role a person plays.
    Insist that this is not about what a “man” can do. This is about an assault on the English language. Language is for communicating. Screwing up the language and making it impossible for people to communicate is a totalitarian tactic.

    Thus, “When I use the word ‘man’, I ascribe to it the meaning that it has had for thousands of years in the English language — that a ‘man’ is a grown human ‘male’, and by definition, a ‘male’ is a person whose reproductive role is mixing up the gene pool with sperm, not bearing offspring. If you want to redefine the word ‘man’ or invent another language, then you must explicitly say so before you argue with me.”

    Insist that they define their words.

    War is peace…
