Orwellian times.
I see by mentions on Twitter that her blog is coming back.

Which platform will she use?
Do they all employ censors?

Thank you for the updated link, Posy! It seems Lily Maynard very wisely left wordpress, which sensors parents (and others) who believe transition for kids and young people should be a last resort rather than normalizing it as the go-to first response.

You're talking about

I'm not sure, Wardlaw. I'm afraid I didn't realize there were two different flavors of WordPress. I don't know much about blogging or WordPress, only that WordPress blogs by 4thavenow, GenderTrender, Lily Maynard and Gender Identity Watch were either completely removed from the web or secretly edited by WordPress without notifying the authors.
If I understand/remember correctly, it all started with the Jonathan/Jessica Yaniv mess. WordPress chose to side with liar and vexatious litigant Yaniv over women bloggers speaking out about women losing their sex-based rights and children being medically transitioned.

You're right, I believe WordPress deleted her account and all her work without warning due to her "transphobia." I believe it was because she misgendered several males, calling them "he." I forget now exactly what it was but it seems like it was tied to the whole Jonathan Yaniv debacle.
Anyway, she has her own site now:

Oops. Here's the specific article:

Thanks for pointing this out, Miriamelle. Here is the updated link:
https://lilymaynard.com/when-is-a-girl-not-a-girl/
I have corrected the link in GCDad's original post, also.
It seems Lily Maynard's bog was removed from Wordpress a couple of years ago for "misgendering." I certainly could be remembering incorrectly, but I believe she got caught up in the Jonathan Yaniv complaints. If anyone is in the dark about the infamous Yaniv, he is a male pedophile who claims a female identity so that he can use women's restrooms and locker rooms to access young tween/teen girls, who seem to be his age of preference. When bloggers like Lily Maynard, 4thWaveNow and Gallus Mag at GenderTrending wrote about him, he complained to WordPress and the response from WordPress was to either secretly edit their blogs, changing "him" to "her," or in Lily Maynard's case, remove her entire blog from the web. WordPress sided with pedophile Yaniv rather than with the women who were writing to warn the public of his pedophilic tendencies and point out how gender identity creates safety issues for women and girls.
Anyway, I've fixed the link (Lily Maynard has her own site now). It is a wonderful essay if anyone would like to read it.
