x bans "misgendering" - no tolerance for anti-lgbt rhetoric    lon-musk-defends-reinstating-rule-a gainst-misgendering-says-only-repea ted-targeted-harassment after elon musk acquired the twitter platform in response to a satire outlet being banned for misgendering, he has since defended reinstating a version of rules against such conduct. but after having rebranded the platform as x, musk appears to have replaced certain guidelines against misgendering or using the former names of transgender individuals. in an article headlined, "x quietly revived anti-misgendering policy that musk dropped last year," ars technica was reportedly among the first to note "x's updated policy confirms that x will reduce the visibility of posts that purposefully use different pronouns to address someone other than what that person uses for themselves, or that use a previous name that someone no longer goes by as part of their transition." "musk has since been called out on his platform by some of its most popular users," the activist behind libsoftiktok, chaya raichik, wrote. "apparently x mightve reinstated their "misgendering" rule so i gotta test it out richard levine is male. he is a man. dylan mulvaney is male. he is a man. ellen page is female. she is a woman. if i get suspended you can find me at @libsoftiktok." musk responded to raichik posting a screenshot of the platforms "use of prior names and pronouns" policy by writing, "this is just about repeated, targeted harassment of a particular person."
