Twitter Removes Policy Forbidding ‘Misgendering’ or ‘Deadnaming’ Transgender Individuals
Social media platform Twitter has removed its Policy against the “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals” following a series of conservative accounts suspended for “violating” its rule.The term “Deadnaming” is used by the LGBTQIA+ community to describe a person’s given name being used after they have begun identifying as another gender (under a new name.)
Since 2018, the Twitter policy has designated using a person’s given name after transitioning or intentionally “misgendering” as a form of harassment agaisnt transgender individuals.
However, on Monday, Twitter announced that it would only place warning labels on tweets deemed “potentially” violating its rules against hateful conduct. In the new policy update, Twitter also deleted the line against “deadnaming” from its rules.

It was time to bring sanity and the proper English language back to Twitter.
