Twitch suspends trans actor Ian Alexander after telling hateful bigots to ‘touch some grass’
Non-binary Star Trek: Discovery star Ian Alexander has been suspended from Twitch after telling transphobes to “touch grass”.
In a tweet on Wednesday (20 July), the actor posted a picture of their indefinite suspension from the streaming platform for “violent hate speech” after they told transphobic users to “touch some grass” – the modern equivalent of telling someone to go outside.
“[Twitch] suspended my account. I was receiving racist and transphobic troll comments where they were saying slurs,” Alexander wrote. “I censored them, told the trolls to touch some grass, and then my account got suspended mid-stream.
“I appealed the suspension, idk when I’ll get my channel back,” they continued.
