Oh but you did
Remember this from…uhh…yesterday?
Scotland’s national library banned a book about feminists’ fight against Nicola Sturgeon’s gender self-ID law after staff complained its contents were “hate speech” comparable to racism.
The National Library of Scotland (NLS) has been accused of a “shameful” capitulation to censorship after it emerged that The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht, a collection of essays by gender-critical women, had been cut from a major exhibition celebrating the institution’s centenary.
Now we’re told it was all lies, lies lies lies I tell you!
Check out what the slob in the T shirt has to say, because she’s remarkably annoying.
You may have heard that a gender critical book has been “banned” from an exhibition by the National Library of Scotland. Well, it hasn’t.
Uh…yes it has.
She goes on to say people can still read it, but that does not alter the fact that it was withdrawn from the exhibit because fanatics pitched a fit. It was, indeed, withdrawn from the exhibit.
It’s really quite a brazen lie.
I do love the readers’ added context boxes on TwiX. That’s been really helpful – such as here, making the liar look foolish.
Oops, did she take her post down? Disappointed to have missed the T-shirt.
Sorry, NVM – it looks like the link is still active, but doesn’t appear active in your post for some reason.
Ophelia, feel free to delete this comment after you read it.
When you posted Oh but you did yesterday, my Firefox browser on my MacOS displayed the ScotNational post with the video. But today, my browsers only display a link to the ScotNational post, and the link is not clickable either.
I am fairly sure that the problem has (at least) these two parts: (1) X supports the legacy domain name “twitter” by jumping to the domain name “x”, and (2) WordPress has trouble following the jump. I will confirm by testing here:
I am sure that WordPress will make this text clickable:
https://x.com/ScotNational/status/1955652597932507278
I bet that WordPress will fail to make this valid text clickable:
https://twitter.com/ScotNational/status/1955652597932507278
In any case, I suggest that you edit your post above to use the “x” domain name.
Also — JUST MAYBE — you diligently posted the link with “x” yesterday and WordPress converted it to “twitter” overnight. I am adding this crazy thought as something to watch for, even though it seems crazy and unlikely.
Again, feel free to delete this comment after reading it.
Thanks Dave. I tried it (as you can see) but it dinnit work. Stoopid WordPress.
