Twitter Suspends Charlie Kirk For Anti-Trans Post

The Daily Beast reports:

Charlie Kirk was suspended by Twitter on Tuesday for an attack on U.S. assistant secretary for health Rachel Levine, in which he repeatedly misgendered and deadnamed her.

The Turning Point USA founder tweeted on March 15 that Levine, a trans woman who transitioned in 2011, spent “54 years as a man” while deadnaming her.

“He ‘transitioned’ to being a woman in 2011, Joe Biden appointed Levine to be a 4-Star Admiral and now USA Today has named ‘Rachel’ Levine as a ‘Woman of the Year,’” the right-wing blowhard sneered. “Where are the feminists???”

It’s quite likely Kirk posted his tweet expressly for the purpose of being suspended and then claiming martyr status.

The Babylon Bee, a popular Christian “satire” site,  and the Christian Post were both also suspended this week for similar attacks on Levine.

Charlie Kirk has been locked out of his Twitter account until he deletes a tweet about male-to-female transgender Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services Rachel Levine. https://t.co/RV4LXfcn9m
