So it looks like @TransphobeB is no more, barring a miracle. I'll keep adding to the list if I can in the hope API access might be eventually restored. Good luck to all!

It was inevitable that the billionaire man child would eventually turn off our API access. It's been fun and this app has helped stop a lot of abuse. @TheBlockBot was the first shared block list app on Twitter created by me @oolon in 2013, just over 10 years ago!
Welcome, the TERFblocker blocklist is now Transphobe Blocklist. The new team are now adding new blocks and will shortly start reviewing existing blocks to remove false positives. Hopefully we can continue to keep your Twitter experience transphobe-free.
If Melon charges for the API then the block lists will stop working, but at the moment we are relatively relaxed about his ability to do so ...

@QuelanaRS@ELDENRING Unblocked. Previous admin did automated blocking based on follows/followers which caused false positives. Removing them as soon as I become aware!
@GeorgeForth @BrexitBlocklist Sorry, she stays blocked - follows Helen Staniland - notorious for being a terf and nothing else, plus Onjali Rauf, Milli Hill, Ross Tucker and others. Good enough for me.
@GeorgeForth @BrexitBlocklist The previous admin blocked everybody associated with the notoriously transphobic Times/Sunday Times and I've tended to leave alone for good reason. Let me have a look but again neither her nor doctor_Oxford were new additions.
@GeorgeForth @BrexitBlocklist She was already on the list when I took over over a year ago, probably caught up in automated blocking based on follows by the previous admin. I've removed her now but it may take a few hours to filter through. (I don't do any automated blocking BTW!).
@OccupyNN@OwenJones84@AnnaYearley The previous admin did a lot of automated blocking. You follow a number of transphobic accounts Jenny Jones, Tanni G-T, Emma Hilton, Haringey Resistors) which may explain it.
@athrocoll @OwenJones84 Clearing more false positives from the list is one of the positive outcomes from this shitshow! (plus it's gained us new subscribers and transphobes coming out of the woodwork to add!)
@ClareSherman@AnnaYearley@OwenJones84 Apologies. Previous admin did lots of automated blocking which caught up people it shouldn't have. I've removed you now. It may take a few hours to filter through. Unfortunately H unsubscribed so people I unblock on the list now will remain blocked by him.
@athrocoll @KazP19@AnnaYearley@OwenJones84 Unblocked, sorry. I don't do any automated blocking since taking over so shouldn't be any new false positives but clearing out those from the previous admin is a big job. It may take a few hours to filter through.
Anyone who believes Scotland's Gender Recognition Reforms won't make women less safe because men will always offend is a fool. Such men have just been given the legal right to women's spaces, to effectively erase their criminal records, & force their victims to call them women.
@nathlloyd The ICO have confirmed that GDPR does not apply. I suspect you were caught in automated blocking by the previous admin, due to following the transphobic Labour Womens Declaration acct. I guess that's not because you support them & can't see anything else so have unblocked.
