X (formerly Twitter) reinstates policies against misgendering and deadnaming, reducing post visibility but not removing or suspending users.
X (formerly Twitter) has reinstated its policies against misgendering and deadnaming, discouraging anti-trans harassment without explicitly prohibiting it. The updated rules in the "Abuse and Harassment" section state that X will reduce the visibility of such posts but not remove them or suspend users for posting them. This policy change aims to make the platform safer for trans users and may potentially benefit advertisers. However, right-wing users have expressed dissatisfaction with the new guidelines, suggesting that Elon Musk may reconsider his approach.
