Simple facts
You have your instructions.
If you disagree with any of this, then I'm not the kind of Twitter account you're going to enjoy following, so the quickest way is to save me the trouble and just block me now, k?
These aren't radical statements. These aren't "controversial" statements. These are simple facts. https://t.co/AIHUuBYcvA

Block rather than just not pay attention to in the first place? Do these people really think we don’t see how this works?
As it happens, I’m pre-blocked. So I guess I’m saved the trouble of blocking someone I didn’t intend to pay attention to in the first place. Yay? I honestly can’t tell any more.
I wonder if I’m preblocked? I don’t have a twitter account, but guilt by association and all. These people are good with magic, I’m sure they can guess what account I would have.
It might be worth making sure you’re pre-blocked by creating an account with words like “woman”, “feminist” and – heaven forbid – “lesbian” in the profile. You’ll never have to hear from anyone on Twitter ever again.
It’s not enough that something is a simple fact. You also need to repeat it 10 times for it to be true.
But Latsot, I’m biologically male. Putting such phrases in my bio would instantly make me a trans woman surely? In any event some magazine would apparently feel free to publish an article claiming so. I could become an unwitting trans hero instead of being blocked. It’s just so confusing.
What “simple facts” would those be?
Of course he is female. He has pink hair. (Which I guess means I’m not, because I have brown hair streaked with gray, and wear black pants most of the time, when I’m not in blue jeans).
I don’t understand this “I can’t see it ’cause I’m blocked” stuff. Just … sign out of twitter? It’s not like your fingerprint is blocked or something.
Anyway, I find it telling that the first response is from a transwoman who disagrees with our humble fact presenter. A transwoman who is summarily blocked. Because this has nothing to do with facts about the world—it’s all about quasi-religious models that provide meaning and moral significance.
Nullius, I’m not saying that, just that I’m blocked without (to my knowledge) ever having interacted with this person before. If I wanted to read, I’d log out.
Nullius, what ““I can’t see it ’cause I’m blocked” stuff”? Nobody on this post said that until you did. The point is the silly “block me now” in the tweet, not the inconvenience of being blocked.
Or maybe you were just making a general observation about people who do say that. Never mind.
Yeah, that was a general observation. Sorry for the confusion.
No worries. WordPress should come up with a little icon for general observations.
Just kidding WordPress. Don’t do it.
