Twitter quietly removes policy protecting trans users from deadnaming

Twitter has quietly removed a policy which protected transgender users from deadnaming and misgendering on the social media platform. Its hateful content policy was put in place long before Elon Musk’s highly publicised acquisition of the company. Its ban on misgendering (purposefully referring to someone as the wrong gender) and deadnaming (calling a trans person a name they no longer go by) was introduced in 2018. “We prohibit targeting others with repeated slurs, tropes or other content that intends to dehumanise, degrade or reinforce negative or harmful stereotypes about a…

Could Mastodon rival Twitter as a safer social media platform for the LGBTQ+ community?
