\nTwitter quietly removes policy against misgendering trans people<\/br>
\n2023-04-18 21:41:13<\/br><\/p>\n

\n

Twitter updated its content moderation guidelines regarding hateful content, removing a policy that prohibited the targeted deadnaming or misgendering of transgender people. Enacted in 2018, the policy explicitly stated that it violated Twitter\u2019s rules to repeatedly and purposefully call a transgender person by the wrong name or pronouns.<\/p>\n

Spotted by GLAAD, this unannounced change<\/a> to the hateful content guidelines<\/a> occurred in early April. The rest of the webpage explaining these policies appears unchanged.<\/p>\n

Before the change, per the Internet Archive<\/a>, the \u201cSlurs and Tropes\u201d subsection of the policy included the following: \u201cThis includes targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.\u201d That line has since been removed.<\/p>\n

Twitter\u2019s guidelines still say that users may not attack others on the basis of their gender, gender identity or sexuality. Yet this removal of a clause that explicitly protects trans people is part of a continued trend in which Twitter has become more hostile toward LGBTQ+ individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since Musk\u2019s takeover, the platform has disbanded its <\/span>Trust and Safety council<\/a>\u00a0and <\/span>reinstated the accounts<\/a> of previously banned users like author Jordan Peterson and conservative satire outlet The Babylon Bee, both of which were sanctioned for the targeted harassment of transgender people. A report from GLAAD and Media Matters also showed that since Elon Musk\u2019s takeover, usage of the anti-LGBTQ \u201cgroomer\u201d slur has <\/span>increased<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis decision to roll back LGBTQ safety pulls Twitter even more out of step with TikTok, Pinterest, and Meta, which all maintain similar policies to protect their transgender users at a time when anti-transgender rhetoric online is leading to real world discrimination and violence,\u201d said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
