Facebook, it seems, is fine with death threats against "transphobes", but not so fine with alternative views:
A transgender organization that enjoys a nearly 130,000-member fan base on Facebook shared to its business page support for the murders of those skeptical of gender identity ideology. Dozens of men and women who are reporting the content are shocked to be receiving the response from Facebook that the meme “does not violate community standards.”
On December 2019, the Trans Army uploaded a cartoon of an individual with long pink and blue hair, wrist chokers and a transgender symbol tattoo who is reading a book called “How to Kill Transphobic *uckers.”
Many Facebook users are just discovering the Trans Army’s hateful meme....
“A page that posts violence-promoting pictures isn’t against community standards because it’s a pro-Trans page,” one woman wrote after receiving such a notification from Facebook support....
Threats of violence are usually reserved for women and girls who are seen to blaspheme against gender identity ideology, but men are occasionally subjected to this and other consequences. A person may be declared “transphobic” by gender identity believers for simply acknowledging that there are two biological sexes. For example, children’s author JK Rowling has been branded a hateful transphobe who wishes for trans women to die after she pointed out on Twitter that “people who menstruate” are women. Rosie Duffield, a Member of Parliament for the UK’s Labour Party, has similarly branded a transphobe, and transgender activists have been making an organized call for her ouster from political office, after she agreed on Twitter that only women have cervixes.
“Imagine the furoré if a GC [gender critical] page posted a picture about killing misogynists or transgender people,” a man remarked about the Trans Army’s hate post....
Facebook returned a notification to one man informing him of their refusal to remove the Trans Army’s pro-murder advocacy, instead providing him the advice, “consider using Facebook to speak out and educate the community around you. Counter-speech in the form of accurate information and alternative viewpoints can help create a safer and more respectful environment.” Another man pointed out that “the only problem being here that ‘counterspeech’ will be banned instantly!”
Critiquing the practices of the gender identity movement by writing the phrase “the transgender movement is a cult” leads to an instant strike and removal of the comment or post from Facebook, as many, including the writer of this piece, have personally experienced on the platform.
