Twitter suspended the account of Indiana Rep. Jim Banks on Saturday after the Republican congressman intentionally misgendered Assistant Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine, the first transgender person to hold an office that requires a Senate confirmation.
Banks, who represents the northeastern corner of the state, was responding to the news that Levine became the first woman to be awarded the title of four-star officer, saying the title was taken and honor were taken by a man.
Twitter said the comment violated its hateful conduct policy, which prohibits the targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.
The platform temporarily locked Banks' account, saying he would regain access upon deleting the tweet.

https://twitter.com/StrictlyChristo/status/1451642859564634112Home Alone is now a $250 Lego set, and it might be the most impressive fan-inspired model yet
Kevin can slide down the stairs on his sled, land a clothes iron on Marvs face, zipline down to his treehouse, break the shelves that release Buzzs tarantula, drop a paint can, and more. Lego even recreated the scary basement furnace with its opening jaws, with a light-up brick so it can glow, and theres a gear you can turn to spin the train set and turntable that Kevin disguised as people (to make it look like someone was home).
The whole build opens up like a dollhouse, including a full attic playspace you access by flipping up the roof, and each floor can lift off if youd rather interact from the top down. As The Brothers Brick point out in their review, its got a few never-before-seen bricks, too: the door with the pet flap is new here.
The sets going on sale November 1st for $250, and I dont think Im going to be able to resist heck, I just spent half an hour marveling at the high-res images. Here, Ill share them with you!
