Today Gallus Mag informed us that
her statement, published in our previous post, has been retroactively edited. Specifically, someone at WordPress/Automattic
redacted the name of the Canadian individual who has brought a Human Rights Tribunal action against sixteen working class estheticians who did not want to wax the individual’s scrotum and testicles
. Without any notification to 4thWavenow, this individual’s name was
redacted everywhere it appeared. This was a surprise to us, since we have done no editing to the statement, which we published, unchanged, exactly as sent to us by Gallus Mag.
Interestingly, the “deadnames” of Caitlyn Jenner (Bruce Jenner) and Donna Perry (Douglas Perry) were NOT redacted. This would seem to indicate that the new policy put in place by WordPress/Automattic only applies to the Canadian trans activist Gallus Mag named in her statement. This is very interesting, given that the individual’s human rights tribunal case is in
Canada,and both 4thWaveNow and the (currently suspended) GenderTrender sites are located in the United States.
AGAIN: 4thWaveNow received no notification from WordPress/Automattic that this retroactive revision of our website had taken place. We consider this an unauthorized censorship of our content. We are now considering our options. We intend to reproduce Gallus Mag’s statement again, in full, as soon as possible. Stay tuned.
