"The opinion for which YouTube banned me this week is not only true but also commonly held," Knowles argued.
Knowles explained that, according to YouTube, a number of his videos discussing topics related to far-left gender ideology contained "hate speech." The content cited by the platform included calling the idea that men can be women "delusional," referring to notorious trans TikToker Dylan Mulvaney as "he," and pointing out that Éliphas Lévi's Baphomet was androgynous.
According to Knowles, YouTube argued that by calling the notion that men can become women "delusional," he had implied that "some groups are 'mentally inferior'," and was thus guilty of "hate speech." The podcaster highlighted the absurdity of YouTube's claim by noting that his opinion "has been held by virtually every person who has ever lived."
Another clip that got Knowles temporarily barred from the platform was one in which he "discussed how one might *hypothetically* respond to a loved one who has fallen under the sway of transgender ideology."
YouTube said it was "hate speech" to suggest that such a person might be suffering from a mental disorder, to which Knowles responded by pointing out that belief that one is a member of the opposite sex "also correlates with a whole host of other mental disorders such as anxiety, anorexia, depression, and suicidality."
Knowles continued down his laundry list of "hate speech" allegations, including the "misgendering" of Mulvaney, and the "strangest complaint" of them all, concern over the fact he pointed out Lévi's demon, Baphomet, was androgynous.
"The opinion for which YouTube banned me this week is not only true but also commonly held," Knowles argued. "It's the view of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. It's the view of philosophers and biologists. And today, if you state that view on YouTube, you could be banned for 'hate speech'."
The Daily Wire host received numerous replies on Twitter from fans showing their support, with many suggesting he should ditch YouTube in favor of Rumble.
