Twitter Ends Ban on ‘Misgendering’ and ‘Deadnaming’ Transgenders: Users now allowed to refer to “transgender” people by their actual genders and their original gender-appropriate names.

On Tuesday, the social media platform Twitter made several major changes to its “hateful conduct policy,” determining that users are now allowed to refer to so-called “transgender” people by their actual genders and their original, gender-appropriate names.

The Daily Caller reports that the original policy, first enacted in 2018, forbade users from engaging in “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.” The new guidelines have removed this sentence altogether from the “Slurs and Tropes” section.

“We prohibit targeting others with repeated slurs, tropes or other content that intends to degrade or reinforce negative or harmful stereotypes about a protected category,” read the original rules. “This includes targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.” The latter sentence is no longer found on the page.

The move is yet another representation of Elon Musk’s efforts to shift Twitter back towards a pro-free speech policy, as well as to increase transparency on the site, both of which were key promises he made when he first set out to buy Twitter last year.

Dead names and misgendering? I’m sorry to say, I have not kept up with all the latest with all this LGBT stuff.

I can’t keep up. I hear that over 50 different gender identities have been discovered so far, with new ones being discovered all the time.

I will have to go to reeducation camp someday on all of this.

That’s big news, IMHO. Folks don’t have to play along if they don’t want to.

Deadnaming is when you refer to a tranny by their original name. Caitlyn Jenner's dead name is "Bruce Jenner."

The idea is that the "old Jenner" is dead, so you should only refer to the "new Jenner" by "her" new name.

I know it's contradictory, since we're told that "Caitlyn" was always "her" recently "affirmed" gender.

So stating true facts is once again allowed. Very nice. It should be. It should never have led to banning.

So basically, normal people have been given permission to speak the truth and acknowledge reality... yet another sign of just how the culture and society has been decimated due to vile, perverted liberal filth.

Virtually every term now associated with the queer/trans movement are recently made up words. And we somehow accept them into the lexicon. Rubbish.

It’s all gotten so silly.

Pity such a huge amount of time is wasted on such creatures as trannys, trying not to hurt their little feelings by calling them “her” instead of “him”

Megan Kelly is taking hell for this right now for referring to Dylan What’s His Name correctly as a “he” on her show.

I like the way you think. There are too many Americans who don't like to play foolish, childish games developed by elementary school "teachers". I'm one of them.

This would be the height of satire if it weren’t real.

I have no problem with people changing their name. People have been doing it for centuries.

I know of one instance where a person insisted on using a woman’s maiden name instead of her her married name because they didn’t approve of the man she married. And this was in a business setting.

I do have a problem with “preferred pronouns”. If someone is an actual male, I should not be forced to call them she/her.

We can call a cat a cat and a man a man again on Twitter.

Dylan Mulvaney is a special case.

There's plenty of evidence that he's a grifter. A con artist.

His entire shtick is a parody of womanhood. He's no more trans than Milton Berle was. He dresses up as a woman for money--nothing more.

I have actually seen some “news” outlets describe old football seasons as being for “The Washington Commanders”, as if they had never even BEEN the Redskins. This is nonsense. We certainly do NOT describe the 1969 Seattle Pilots as the Milwaukee Brewers, or the Houston Oilers as the Tennessee Titans.

Be of good cheer, FRiend. You know the truth, that’s all you need to know. The trans-insanity is unsustainable. Cracks are appearing, and widening, in its foundation.

Ok, but what if you want to opt out altogether. Not only don't you identify with a gender identity, you don't identify with the concept of gender identity including not having a gender identity. For instance, when you think of a rock you don't think of a gender identity. It's not a concept, and to put a label - gender identity- none already changes your concept of a rock from being an inanimate object to an object that does not have or perhaps chose not to have a gender identity, which already gives it a gender identity.

Speaking of tranny insanity: found this last night on YouTube. Vietnam Vet was having none of the bovine excrement. Transgender Person Vs Vietnam Veteran Store Owner

It's from a year ago, but still relevant.
