Twitter appears to have removed its ban on using the former names of transgender people. Called “deadnaming” by transgender activists, it was banned in the pre-Musk era, when Twitter’s woke censorship regime was at its height.
The former policy, which has now been removed, banned “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.” It came amid a wider rollback of Twitter’s censorship policies, including the greater use of labeling vs. outright removal of “hateful” tweets.
But it was the removal of the “deadnaming” policy that led to howls of outrage from the woke left.
The president of the leftist LGBT advocacy group GLAAD said it was the “latest example of just how unsafe the company is for users and advertisers alike.”
The reference to advertisers is another sign that the left’s longstanding tactic of using the threat of reduced ad revenue to pressure social media companies for censorship.
While it was in force, Twitter’s ban on “misgendering” led to some high profile acts of censorship.
One, a permanent ban of Canadian feminist and blogger Meghan Murphy, led to a lawsuit against Twitter over censorship. Murphy was banned for referring to “Jessica” Yaniv, the infamous Canadian trans activist and troll, by his real name of Jonathan.
The prominent anti-woke psychologist and author Jordan Peterson also faced a lengthy ban from Twitter last year after he referred to Hollywood celebrity “Elliott” Page by her real name of “Ellen.”

Not long ago the Prime Minister of the UK made news for simply agreeing that women didn’t have penises.
When knowing that women don’t have male genitals puts you in the news you are living in crazytown.
I’d say it was insanity to pay any attention to the howls of people who have mental problems, but I’ve realized what’s going on here. This is bread and circuses. The majority of Americans are no longer able to think, they are very easily swayed by shiny things and that’s what the media gives them. Why? Because this country is being destroyed from within. Correction — It HAS ALREADY been destroyed from within.
What if I had addressed one of these confused bunnies as “it”?
How can there be LGBTQ if you can’t say what a women is?
I want my 1980s back where one and all laughed at trannies.
There are just too many rules to follow now.

Those poor weirdos. Must be tiring to be perpetually butt-hurt...
Self-inflicted.
“He fired 80 percent of Twitter’s employees.”
No, he just “identified” them as non-employees, that’s all.

It is amazing how many people you do not need when you are not trying to silence half your potential user base because of political incorrectness.
