" Promoted tweet from fake account purporting to be that of Australian feminist campaigner inserts transphobic content into twitter user's timelines." " Twitter user's have expressed outrage at a troll's use of twitter's promoted tweets to insert abuse targeting transgender people into their feeds."

We seem to have sorted out the link problems, so I'm deleting all of the nonessential posts (I'll leave this one up).

A sad miserable nutter... you have to wonder why someone would go to that much trouble. Seems the woman whose account was faked was just as much a target.

This is sick, I thought the twitter clampdown was going to clean things up. I guess I should return to being a pessimist
