X has, once again, quietly changed its rules around deadnaming and misgendering without an explanation.

    Imagine complaining to a social media platform because you’re not allowed to be shitty to someone else.

    I like to deadname X and always call it Twitter.

    Yes, I already know that I’m a sad, sad excuse for a lifeform.

        “You can’t just change your URL and frontend and pretend you’re X. Even if someone did some editing on your backend, you were born Twitter and you’ll die Twitter!”

        I have to mention I’m trying to make fun of transphobes, but idk if it’s coming through that well so I’m adding this disclaimer letting you know it’s an attempt at a joke. It’s just ironic because these arguments do work for Twitter (presently trying to be known as “X”)

    It lasted longer than I thought. Probably because it was a weekend and Elon was probably too busy sniffing his own farts.

      They will laugh and think it’s funny because they don’t get why it bothers people. They’ll insist that the only reason what you’re doing is wrong would be if you were “reinforcing a lie” or some other bull shit.

      Don’t do this. Misgendering cis people merely makes it seem acceptable to use misgendering as a weapon in general. I understand the inclination to try and make people understand what it is like… But if they have never doubted your gender, they will not understand.
