Remember Irish lesbian Mom?

A while ago I messaged you about my blog, ‘Irish lesbian Mom’, because Twitter deemed that I was selling sexual services or products, I assumed it was due to their negative sexualisation of the word lesbian.

After feedback from the Broadsheet readers I changed the name of the blog to ‘Two Irish Mammies’ but still no joy.

After more dead ends with their customer service and generic emails I took the advice of one Broadsheet reader and sought the advice of a solicitor.

A letter was sent citing my Data Protection rights and Twitter admitted that their policy team had judged my account incorrectly. I’m delighted that boring old me is not deemed pornographic.

I just want to say thanks to all the lovely comments and helpful advice from your readers. They honestly motivated me to keep at it as a matter of principle…

In fairness.

    Is the “two mammies” change permanent? I do like the new name, possibly even prefer it, but it would be nice to get the “lesbian” back in there to maybe go a small way towards making the word have a non-sexual connotation.

      Hi LW,

      I had changed the handle by then as I kept getting spammy porno bots.

      They were challenged under section 6 & 4 of the data protection acts.

      Also just to add they said that their policy team marked the account as selling sexual services or products due to an image on my account depicting nudity. They reversed the decision as you now know.

      Mad to think my crappy illustrations of a pregnant body conjured up that reaction within the twitter policy team!
