UPDATE (8/6/21): Christian author and podcaster Allie Stuckey has regained access to her Twitter account hours after the platform locked her out of the site for “misgendering” a transgender athlete.

LISTEN TO US DISCUSS THIS STORY ON TODAY’S PODCAST:

Stuckey’s account was temporarily locked after she referred to New Zealand Olympic weightlifter Laurel Hubbard — a biological male who identifies as female — using male pronouns.

“I’m out of Twitter jail,” she tweeted Friday morning. “Men are still men.”

In a follow-up tweet, Stuckey wrote, “Remember, you can threaten, dox, harass, post porn, spread Chinese propaganda and tweet as a member of a terrorist regime here on Twitter, but you cannot call a man, ‘he,’ because that is ‘promoting violence.’”

Original story continues below:

Twitter locked Christian author and podcaster Allie Stuckey out of her account Thursday after she “misgendered” a transgender athlete.

Stuckey’s offense was an Aug. 2 tweet in which she commented on New Zealand Olympic weightlifter Laurel Hubbard, a biological male who identifies and competed in the Tokyo Games as a female. In the offending tweet, the “Relatable” host referred to Hubbard using male pronouns.

LISTEN TO TODAY’S PODCAST:

“Laura [sic] Hubbard failing at an event doesn’t make his inclusion fair,” she tweeted. “He’s still a man, and men shouldn’t compete against women in weightlifting.”

In a statement to Faithwire, Stuckey made clear she has no intention of backing down from her comments about Hubbard.

“As a Christian, I know two things to be true,” Stuckey wrote in an email. “One, all people are made in God’s image, no matter their stated identity and, therefore, have immense value and, two, men are men and women are women.”

“Biology matters,” she continued. “Sex differences matter. Facts matter. I won’t budge on this.”

The tweet in question has been removed from Stuckey’s account. In its place is a message from the platform claiming the post “violated the Twitter rules.”

In an email to Stuckey, Twitter alerted her it had “temporarily limited” some of her “account features” due to her violation. The post, Twitter argued, broke its rules against “hateful conduct.”

“You 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,” the platform stated in its email to the conservative commentator.

Hubbard, who identified as male until turning 35, competed in the Tokyo Games on Monday as the first openly transgender Olympian. In a statement, the 43-year-old weightlifter thanked the International Olympic Committee for “making sport inclusive and accessible.”

The New Zealand athlete’s statement came on the heels of remarks made by Dr. Richard Budgett, the medical and science director for the IOC, who said “everyone agrees transgender women are women.”

Hubbard began competing as a female in 2015. Prior to 2013, the athlete participated in men’s competitions.

The transgender competitor ultimately exited the Games on Monday after failing on all three lifts in the snatch portion of the women’s +87kg competition, recording a “did not finish,” according to ESPN.

After leaving the competition, Hubbard once again thanked the IOC for being “extraordinarily supportive,” noting, “I know my participation in these games has not been entirely without controversy.”
