Twitter's Reversal on Transgender Policies Raises Concerns.
TL;DR Summary
Twitter has removed long-standing protections for its transgender users by altering its Hateful Conduct Policy to remove a line that specifically includes the "targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals." GLAAD describes the adjustments as "the latest example of just how unsafe the company is for users and advertisers alike." Twitter's modified policy is a step back for the platform, especially when Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube don't even maintain the same protections for trans people that Twitter once had.
