Free-speech advocate Lindsay Shepherd has again been suspended from Twitter, but this time it’s permanent.

Monday’s banning of the Wilfrid Laurier University grad student came after a heated exchange where Shepherd says Jessica Yaniv — a transgender woman with whom she’d had previous arguments with — began hurling insults towards her and her infant son, and making remarks about Shepherd’s genitalia.

Yaniv mocked Shepherd’s septate uterus — a reproductive condition which can lead to complications during pregnancy.

“I heard @realDonaldTrump is building a wall inside of your uterus aka your “reproductive abnormality” hopefully the walk works as intended,” Yaniv tweeted.

“At least I have a uterus, you fat ugly man” Shepherd replied, adding, “Of course, he thinks reproductive issues are something to be mocked.”
