The Babylon Bee, a very funny satire site run by Seth Dillon, was suspended from Twitter for a truthful tweet.
He tweeted that Rachel Levine is a man. While Levine is transgender, she is still biologically a man. No one has been able to change biology yet, just the appearance of it. Perhaps one day that will happen.
Twitter said it is a hateful statement. How can it be hateful to state a biological truth? Some might say what Levine is doing is hateful against women. Currently, transgender women are ruining women’s sports.
The story is a parody and reads in part:
Levine is the U.S. assistant secretary for health for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where he serves proudly as the first man in that position to dress like a western cultural stereotype of a woman. He is also an admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. What a boss!
Rachel’s original name is Richard Levine, but he changed it to Rachel for some strange reason a few years ago. Who cares? Who says a dude as accomplished as this can’t be named “Rachel?” This king doesn’t care what people think about him! He often wears a dress, which some people think is weird—but he doesn’t care one bit. Come on! Men in India wear dress-type garments, don’t they?
The article was parodying USA Today naming Levine as one of its “Women of the Year.”
“Rachel Levine is one of USA Today’s Women of the Year, a recognition of women across the country who have made a significant impact,” the USA Today article reads.
Dillon can return to Twitter if he removes the tweet but he said he won’t do it since it is the truth.
We added more context after publication.
