I don't think you should have to "survive" an online platform at all. Do as I did and delete your account.

This woman is an anti-trans activist, and she's complain that people on Twitter called her a transphobe. She doesn't want to protect speech, she wants to censor people who disagree with her.

She's a campaigner for women's sex-based rights. As I understand it, she wants these issues to be debated out in the open, not censored.

Here's an example of her anti-censorship views: https://twitter.com/HJoyceGender/status/1624103051517624338

Complaining about someone censoring your own opinions is not anti-censorship.

Yes it is, even more so when concluded with "I wish we had free speech online".
