The “cancel culture” has come for Focus on the Family after the ministry, famous for blending biblical insights with family issues, stuck with science and biology, and got in trouble for it.
Focus on the Family’s news service, The Daily Citizen, got in trouble with Twitter when one of its news stories described Rachel Levine, a Biden nominee, as a “man who believes he is a woman.”
In particular, the sentence that upset Twitter reads, “Dr. Levine is a transgender woman, that is, a man who believes he is a woman.”
Paul Batura, a vice president at Focus, tells One News Now the hammer came down hard when the point of the sentence, he says, was to identify what a “trans-woman” is for readers.
“So we simply said it’s a man who believes that he’s a woman,” Batura says. “And they told us that was hate speech.”
Twitter has not explained to Focus why the description is “hate speech” when it’s true that a biological man, who dresses and lives as a woman, and feels like he is a woman, is in fact a “transgender woman.”
The successes of the transgender movement, from athletics to Dr. Levine’s nomination, have also created a conondrum for LGBT advocates since the issues of biological reality and, worse, mental health won’t go away.
According to the Human Rights Campaign, the lobbying group that lobbies for homosexual rights, a transgendered person is someone “whose sex assigned at birth is different from who they know they are on the inside.”
“For many transgender people,” HRC states elsewhere in its media guide on writing about transgenders, “their birth-assigned sex and their own sense of gender identity do not match.”
Transgender people such as Dr. Levine following their “own sense” of who they are and how they feel on the “inside,” which hint at mental issues, refer to one’s own personal feelings just as The Daily Citizen describes.
Batura tells One News Now that the news service offered several alternative descriptions. asking Twitter if those would meet its approval, but never got a reply.
“We’ve come to a season here,” he warns, “where telling the truth in America is now somehow becoming a revolutionary act. It feels like something straight out of 1984.”

Oh my God what is that ?
“following their “own sense” of who they are and how they feel on the “inside,” which hint at mental issues, refer to one’s own personal feelings”,,,,,,,,,could have been written in Mein Kampf. Ignore the realities of what empirically happens on the outside, just go with whatever unchecked internal confusion occurs on the inside. This confused individual has every right to dress like Bozo the clown, and hang out with carnival Party pinheads and three gendered sterile geeks, but do you really want someone this unrealistic put in charge of reality driven government institutions where fecund success and good results are expected, all for the purpose of turning we rational Americans into emotionally unproductive sob sisters totally at the mercy of our fears and imaginations? I’m sure the Chinese would approve our entire government be run by such balls of confusion, starting with our military. Enter Chinese purchased and Blackmailable Biden and son, willing to turn the Country on its head following their own sick Yucko Ono/John Lennon like imaginations. Praise the party and pass out the drugs.
twitter can burn in hell! umm twitter will burn in hell!
EVERYONE Working there, should.. Most assuredly!
We have all see by their actions and character how the Dishonorable, Dishonest, Disgraceful Democrat Party has rejected the Word of GOD and have become Self-Righteous,
Self-Worshipping and disciples of Satan.
Have you ever wondered WHY Tinkerbell Obama and his Blow Joe Biden are so obsessed and promote and protect the LGBTQ lifestyle.
Romans 1:26-32
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
There is censorship that the liberals practice and then there are the liberals / communists whose gender is “they, it, them, z etc”? Isn’t it great for those of us that are Conservatives, that we are males or females? Thus, we Conservatives have normal brains, as opposed to the “decay”, between the ears of liberals or is it sickness / cancer between a liberals ears?
It is great and I thank God that we Conservatives know and respect the difference between male and female. This appointment raises the issue: I am very worried for the younger women who are being mocked, disrespected, ignored and being emotionally abused through name calling (bigot, transphobe, hateful, etc.) for not wanting men/boys in the bathroom or showers with them. To bad, so sad progressives say. Your real female feelings and rights don’t matter as much as that MAN’S feelings! This man, given a position of authortity, is a disgusting example of being forced to accept this evil! We girls just got all our rights trampled on in favor of a man’s feelings. We are now to accept our “lower” place and let them in the rooms with us when we are half /all naked where we want and need our privacy. When and how does this infringement on women’s rights stop!! This is the real war on women, lead by the radical, evil progressive left…well known as the Democrats.
“Follow the science” is always the big cry from the left when they have some very small factoid they want to use to control you, BUT when it bites them in the butt, all thoughts of REAL science go out the door. Jr, High biology we all had in school explains all we need to know. You can wish, prey, drown yourself in hormones and get things surgically altered or removed, but NONE OF THIS WILL CHANGE THE FACT of what your chromosomes that YOU were born with, tell your body. You have all heard the old axiom, “wish in one hand, **** in the other and see which one gets full first,” that is about as plain as it gets when it comes to this ****. That said, as an ADULT, you are free to do what you please, wish or ****, but do not expect the world to accept YOUR twisted view of science. ANY ADULT who pushes or assists a child in this endeavor to “change” their “gender” should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for child abuse. ALL species are programed to “procreate,” that is something these people cannot do, WITHOUT HELP, you will cease to exist, that alone tells me, something is not right with “their take on science.”
And when
SINCE THEY KEEP coddling mental insanity, OF COURSE it won’t go away!
You know the Left are back in power when you have to look at things like this freak.
If you see the phrase “hate speech” used in an article to describe something, it just means it’s probably right on target AND the left just “hates” that.
What’s this confused person going to declare he is next week? A unicorn perhaps or Rumplestiltskine?
This is what happens when people have children and then turn them loose for the degenerates to brainwash. A child raised without God is exactly what blm and antifa are compiled of.
In recent years it seems many organizations shifted their focus from their own websites to social media. We are now seeing that the social media monopoly is going to decide which voices get heard and which gets silenced. It is time to abandon social media and return to our own websites.
People gave Big Social Media a lot more power and attention than they have the maturity to handle. It is time to give Twitter and Facebook the same attention we give MySpace and the other once great social media players.
What irked me off, when i retired out of the navy, was the sheer # of businesses, that went to ONLY ON LINE/Social-media hiring…
Everytime I see this guy, Levine, it makes me laugh. Pretending to be a woman. Lol. Bud sadly, it’s not funny for our nation. We are under God’s judgement already and now Bonehead Biden is flaunting the sins of America before God. Pray for mercy on America!
This is the same deviant man, who pulled his mom out of the nursing home right before they authorized china virus positive patients to be admitted to nursing homes. He is one of the “for thee, not for me” crowd. Nothing good comes from this man.
IT.. IT..
That ‘thing’ is not a man..
Whaaaaa, I’m without words.
