Twitter suspended a Christian magazine's account for reporting that one of President Joe Biden's nominees is a man who believes he's a woman. 

The Daily Citizen, a publication of the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family, tweeted on Jan. 19 that Biden's nominee for assistant secretary of health, Rachel Levine, who was born Richard Levine and formerly served as Pennsylvania's secretary of health, "is a [trans-identified] man who believes he is a woman," along with a link to an article about the nomination.

As a result, the social media giant locked the magazine out of its account, informing the publication that the tweet violated Twitter's user rules forbidding "hateful conduct."
