He\u2019s still a man, and men shouldn\u2019t compete against women in weightlifting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For this, Stuckey received notification that she had violated Twitter\u2019s policy against \u201chateful conduct.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s note went to say, \u201cYou may not promote violence against, threaten, or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear why the tech giant defined Stuckey\u2019s statement as violent, threatening, or harassing as it highlighted a biological fact and was not said in reply to any other tweet nor directed at Hubbard, but rather offered opinion on a matter of public debate.<\/p>\n<p>To regain access to her account, Twitter demanded Stuckey take down the offending tweet and one other that said of Hubbard, \u201cHe\u2019s an overweight middle-aged dude that still qualified for the Olympics by saying he\u2019s a woman, so I don\u2019t really think you\u2019ve got a valid argument [that Hubbard\u2019s loss proves biological men don\u2019t have a competitive advantage] here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stuckey, who is also an outspoken Christian, complied, but told the Daily Wire, \u201cI believe all people, no matter their stated identity, are made in God\u2019s image and as such have great value. But I won\u2019t affirm the delusion that it\u2019s possible for a man to become a woman, or vice versa. I\u2019m for fairness, safety and the rights of girls and women. That means acknowledging biological differences between the sexes. I\u2019m never, ever going to give an inch on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many past comments she has posted affirming her biblical belief that God created male and female and that individuals aren\u2019t able to change their gender are still present on her account. One <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/conservmillen\/status\/1422371236601028611?s=20\">example<\/a>: \u201cSaying a man can become a woman is no less absurd than a human identifying as a bunny. This is why you don\u2019t give an inch\u2014ever. Minds and lives are at stake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Christian leaders on Twitter were quick to come to Stuckey\u2019s defense. Jason Thacker, Chair of Research in Technology Ethics at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, said in a tweet <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jasonthacker\/status\/1423405974384164872?s=20\">thread<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"17\">\n<p>\u201cIn a time where there is already a considerable amount of distrust in institutions, governments, and even social media companies themselves, ill-defined policies that seem to equate historic and orthodox beliefs on marriage and sexuality.<\/p>\n<p>With the dehumanizing nature of real hate speech and violent conduct only widen the deficit of trust and increases skepticism over the true intention behind these broad policies. Whatever you may think of [Stuckey\u2019s] beliefs, we should all be able to agree that these policies are dangerous to public discourse and need to be amended to actually uphold free expression for all people, not just those with whom a company may agree.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
