Are trans-activists threats in response e.g. "Die TERF hag!" justified? (Some would argue yes)
In this scenario, could a Twitter employee decide that EITHER or BOTH of these count as hate speech and ban everyone involved? Very possibly - and it would leave people on both sides of the argument fuming.

No....
If that said 'kill all terf hags' then maybe. Otherwise questions, opinions and childish outbursts are not a hate crime.
