This website has been flagged by Meta (Facebook) as not meeting their community standards. As a result, my activity is restricted, and I am unable to link to it on Instagram, where I also face restrictions. Despite setting up a new domain, it has received the same treatment. This issue has persisted for five years. I have reported it to Meta multiple times, but they have not taken any action. These restrictions stem from activists targeting me because I hold the belief—shared by many in society—that people cannot change their biological sex. If anyone is willing to help by reporting this issue, I would greatly appreciate your support.
