| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Jim Denison with Dennis in Forum, and this is the Daily Article for Thursday, November 29, 2018. |
| 0:07.5 | Megan Murphy is a freelance writer and journalist who podcasts and writes about feminist issues. |
| 0:12.7 | She was recently blocked from Twitter for questioning the validity of transgenderism. |
| 0:17.1 | In her response, she notes that, quote, Twitter knowingly permits graphic pornography and death threats on the platform. |
| 0:23.7 | I have reported countless violent threats, the vast majority of which have gone unaddressed, but they won't allow me to state very basic facts such as men aren't women. |

| 1:40.3 | a biological male who suffers from gender dysphoria, as Shapiro describes the person, |
| 1:45.4 | came to the gym. This person who retains his male biological characteristics, |

| 1:55.1 | a private dressing room, he refused, announcing that he was a woman and could disrobe in front |
