SAN FRANCISCO — A California appeals court ruled that Twitter had the right to ban a Canadian writer for her “hateful” tweets about transgender women, court records show.

The 42-page published opinion by the First District Appellate Court, issued late last month, upholds the dismissal of a 2019 lawsuit by Meghan Murphy, a writer, journalist and founder of the Canadian-based website Feminist Current. Murphy was banned from Twitter for tweets that referred to a transgender woman as “a man” — in a post that tagged her — and accused her of extortion for filing complaints against estheticians who refused to perform a Brazilian wax.
