Standing up for women and girls is hate speech, furthering a harmful ideology, according to Tik Tok

Today, men who claim to be women are the most protected class.

Just this week Tik Tok gave us yet another “straight answer” on why XX-XY Athletics was permanently banned from advertising on their platform.

Their new reasons:

We’ve violated their advertising policies for inappropriate or unsuitable content. Here’s the clause they claim we violated:

They claim the brand also violated their clause around “hate speech,” specifically for furthering “hateful ideologies” against a “protected group” — gender identity and sexual orientation. (The Tik Tok representative cited “sexual orientation” though I realize gender identity and sexual orientation are not the same and we have no idea what the sexual orientation of the male player in the video is.)

This is all because in our ad called “Stand Up,” we showed a video of a male competing in a high school women’s volleyball game, spiking the ball, and injuring a female athlete. The athlete, Payton McNabb, suffered a head and neck injury — a brain bleed and a concussion — and continues to suffer from neurological impairments, vision problems and partial paralysis more than two years later.

So apparently showing an actual video, in which an actual young woman, was severely injured by a male athlete, is furthering hate speech and a harmful ideology that is derogatory and inflammatory and attacks a protected group (males who claim to be females).

Despite the fact that Tik Tok’s own guidelines cite sex and gender as protected groups, there is a hierarchy and men who claim to be women get more protection than women.

If we showed a man, not claiming to be a woman, harming a woman I imagine that would be allowed. Because in that case, she would rank higher than he does on the protected class scale. He has no protection at all, in all likelihood.

But a “trans woman” trumps a woman. Therefore our ad is hate speech.

I would argue that the harmful ideology is asserting that trans women are women and men can become women if they just say they are and that women must defer to males when they want to be let into women’s spaces and on women’s teams. Women must give up their protection and safety for the desires of males. That’s the harmful ideology. But not according to Tik Tok.

In March of this year, Tik Tok released a study citing the platform’s importance in the growth of small businesses. The study, conducted by Oxford Economics, found that small businesses on TikTok generated nearly $15 billion in revenue in the US in 2023 through paid advertising and marketing. Given that 50% of Americans under 30 use Tik Tok, and they favor it over Instagram, Facebook and Twitter/X, the platform is a key factor in reaching a wider audience and increasing brand recognition for newly formed brands.

This critical channel for small businesses is now permanently closed off to my business because we dared state the fact that males are stronger than females and should not be able to compete against women because it is dangerous for women. We used a real life example to show this. And we encourage women and girls to stand up for themselves.

This is considered a hateful ideology by Tik Tok.

This is discriminating and handicapping any business that doesn’t toe the line regarding gender ideology. This is viewpoint discrimination and forces businesses to fall in line or be severely limited in how they can reach new younger consumers.

This is the world live in. Standing up for the safety of women and girls is hateful because it hurts the feelings of men claiming to be women. As I’ve said many times, this is nothing more than garden variety misogyny.

It is not “hateful ideology” to say that men are stronger than women. It’s just true.

Here are the fitness standards from the FBIs own website for men vs women. The physical requirements for women are approximately 12-13% less that those for men across the 1.5 mile run, push ups and the 300-meter sprint.

When will this fever break?

When we all stop falling in line.

When we all speak up in the name of truth and in defense of women and girls.

On a separate note, I’m sharing this video making the rounds on Twitter/X. Ut illustrates the same protected ideology that got XX-XY Athletics banned from Tik Tok. In fact, the man in the video says: “You’re a black woman calling the cops on a trans woman.” He is pointing out that he ranks higher on the protected class scale than she does, and she’d better watch out. It’s a thinly veiled threat. And the minute his wig comes off, he appears as what he is: an entitled male threatening violence and abuse against a woman if she doesn’t do what he wants her to do.
