Twitter Finally Bans Graham Linehan for Being Transphobic, Which :}

Twitter has permanently (slash finally!!!!) suspended Graham Linehan for being a transphobic pièce du garbage.
The social media platform told The Guardian that the creator of Father Ted—a purportedly beloved British TV show I’d have never even heard of in the first place had this guy not been such a raging, anti-trans asshole over the past couple of years—had his @glinner account suspended following “repeated violations of our rules against hateful conduct and platform manipulation.”
The final straw appears to have been a reply to a tweet by the Women’s Institute wishing their trans members a happy Pride that read: “men aren’t women tho.” That’s honestly kind of mild compared to his innumerable past instances of transphobic fear-mongering, which includes comparing the provision of gender-affirming care to trans children to Nazi experiments, dismissing the push for gender self-identification in the U.K. to a campaign led by “privileged white people,” and accusing writer and Transgender Studies Quarterly editor Grace Lavery of “grooming” her university students.
Anyway, Linehan fled to Mumsnet after his suspension, hoping to drum up support from those who frequent messageboard that Vice once called “Ground Zero for British transphobia.” Instead of sympathy, the erstwhile sitcom writer was told to take his entitled male self elsewhere.
