Twitter's Controversial Policies on Hate Speech and Transphobia
TL;DR
Twitter has removed a section from its hateful conduct policy that protected transgender people from misgendering and deadnaming, according to GLAAD. The change was made without explanation and Twitter has not commented on it. GLAAD and others have condemned the move, saying it makes the platform even more unsafe for trans users. The move puts Twitter out of step with TikTok, Pinterest, and Meta, which all maintain similar policies to protect their trans users.
