"Transgender activists are outraged that Twitter has quietly removed restrictions
on 'dead-naming' and misgendering people https://i.insider.com/6274db6894a2c1...3b1c?width=700 Transgender activists and their allies are expressing outrage after restrictions on "dead-naming" and misgendering were deleted from Twitter's Terms of Service. The policy was enacted in 2018 before tech billionaire Elon Musk bought the popular platform for $44 billion. On Sunday, Musk opined that declarations of preferred pronouns were "virtue-signaling" that could be used as a shield by bad people. Two days later, the policy against misgendering was changed. Sarah Kate Ellis, the president and CEO of GLAAD, told the Associated Press that the change in policy would lead to violence against transgender people. “Twitter’s decision to covertly roll back its longtime policy is the latest example of just how unsafe the company is for users and advertisers alike,” said Ellis. “This decision to roll back LGBTQ safety pulls Twitter even more out of step with TikTok, Pinterest, and Meta, which all maintain similar policies to protect their transgender users at a time when anti-transgender rhetoric online is leading to real-world discrimination and violence," she added. Others attacked Twitter with their tweets. "Twitter lifts it's policy on targeted misgendering and deadnaming and the freaks are out gleefully misgendering and deadnaming every prominent trans person as an achievement. It's not about speech, it's about bullies wanting to harass people because of who they are," said activist Alejandra Caraballo. "Every decision Musk makes is bad for free speech, safety, business," tweeted attorney Nora Benavidez. "This is absolutely exhausting. Every day something else happens to show just how much people despise trans people and don’t care about what happens to us and it’s really *******ing overwhelming and frightening," said a rather hysterical user who identifies as a bisexual. At least one other account called the policy change a "genocidal move." Some public schools have changed their policies to include dead-naming and misgendering as "slurs" and threatened to suspend students who refuse to follow the new rules. https://www.theblaze.com/news/transg...ring-activists |

The logic is flimsy at best and flat out dangerous if taken to an extreme. |

I think you should rename this thread as Trangenders at War

And look I get you might accidentally misgender someone, and that's fine because you're not being an asshole towards someone deliberately. |

There are extremes on both sides of this topic. |

If i told you if criticised Villa its called "Villafying" and then told you you were a villaphobe would you stop? its a tactic to shut down an argument its means NOTHING |
Quote:
And I'm not saying that anyone has to even like the Trans community (or any community for that matter) I just don't support deliberately being provocative towards them, like some of these people know that deadnaming is going to upset them which has me question why anyone would want to do that? Even if you don't like them when has it become okay to upset people just because you don't like them? I'm not saying you as in you LT, I mean you as the general anti-Trans movement. And look I don't support everything on the LGBTQ side of the debate, like I don't see J.K Rowling as the next Hitler, and the Trigender lady on your Woke Awareness thread was someone that I personally can't even comprehend, but I won't support deliberately upsetting them for no reason other than to be provocative. |

Some one like him does more harm than good to the trans community |

If that man wants us to pretend that he's a woman, then that's up to us. You seem to be advocating for forced compliance by trying to shame people as assholes if the don't comply. |
Quote:
If you have a fair point to be made like the Sports or the Toilets then a debate can be had that isn't being an asshole and isn't "forced compliance" which is never something I'd advocate anyway as that's bringing law enforcement into the equation, which I don't support for saying something that I don't agree with, I prefer to have a debate like we're having now. |
From the original Op post i do fully support the trans community and believe people should have the freedom to be whatever gender or sexuality they are without prejudice. However I do believe there should be pyschological safeguards in place for any trans person wanting to undergo physical change by surgery or medication as these processes are irreversible. I know a lot of young people who have wanted to transition , only to discover later on that this was not their actual issue. I also have a family member who was clinical pyschologist who has had many patients wanting to detransition after starting transition, so there does need to be safeguarding in place.
