For context, the Bee was banned from Twitter on March 20 for an article naming Health and Human Services assistant secretary for health Rachel Levine its Man of the Year. Twitter in the meantime has made it clear that they will threaten and censor anyone who does just that - even at the expense of a joke and the truth. On Friday, The Babylon Bee published an article entitled, Rachel Levine Is 100 Woman And We Are Sorry For Calling Her A Man.

It will have to be the next wave of feminists who say enough of this lunacy. The Babylon Bee and the conservative right are not going to solve the issue of trans males occupying mantles reserved for biological females. Earlier this year, trans activists demanded Netflix pull Dave Chappelle’s latest standup special when Chappelle jokingly called himself a TERF and defended Harry Potter author JK Rowling against accusations of transphobia. On Friday, The Babylon Bee published an article entitled, Rachel Levine Is 100 Woman And We Are Sorry For Calling Her A Man. If the cost of telling the truth is the loss. Twitter suspended the Bee simply because it disagrees with their joke and was encouraged to do so by a left-wing base increasingly hostile to anyone who presents an argument they disapprove of.īiological males who reassign their gender are claiming mantles reserved for female accomplishments, “Woman of the Year” or “NCAA Women’s Swimming Champion.” Lauren Hough, a popular female LGBTQ author, recently had her nomination for the Lamba Literary Awards revoked due to what a small group of Twitter activists described as her making transphobic arguments on Twitter in defending another author and friend of hers. Regaining access to Twitter at the time required the publication to delete the offensive tweet, but the Babylon Bee refused. Neither the Bee nor Kirk threatened violence against Levine or committed harassment. Twitter suspended the Babylon Bee under their policy against “violence and harassment on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability or serious disease.” They also banned right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk (and it aggrieves me to defend him) over another factual tweet concerning Levine.

Yet Lia Thomas has the power of an entire mainstream media complex on her side and Levine has the backing of the most powerful man on earth. Similar criticisms have been lodged against those speaking out against collegiate swimmer Lia Thomas, a trans woman who has been winning against biological females. Musk is believed to have been spurred to action after Twitter suspended popular conservative satire site, The Babylon Bee, for publishing a joke that referred to transgender U.S.

The Babylon Bee has been accused of “punching down” with their satire of Levine, but Levine is one of the most powerful health officials in the country.
