Transwoman is male to female. I think it's rude to purposely misgender someone. And within the same light, transwomen/men should respect others who disagree with trans ideology. Live and let be.
If moderators can't handle controversial opinions then they shouldn't be mods.
There's gotta be a middle ground betwen trans hate and forcing acceptance of every new woke ideology.
What does misgender means?
Is still a man by the way.
Twitter fact checkers and moderators were employed to censor and silence not to allow freedom of speech and debate. Fact

To call someone by the wrong gender that they prefer. Like calling a transwoman a man. (Yes, they are biologically a man). It's a sign of respect to call someone how they prefer to be called. Purposely "misgendering" someone is used as an insult.
You don't have to believe in all the trans ideology to simply show a trans person respect when they ask to be called she instead of he.

Perhaps. Or likely that leftist managers highered left leaning people which created an echo-chamber in how they handle moderation.
Either way, it wasn't a good situation to have twitter moderated by bias intentions. I'd like to beleive that Elon & the twitter team will focus on free speech allowing for progressive debates.
However, I'm not sure left and right twitter users are actually intereted in healthy debates. Seems like a cestpool of political hatred. Idk tho, I don't really use it.

I'd disagree slightly and say that Trans people have been discriminated against and treated badly in the past. I do agree that no one should be forced to believe and follow this or that ideology.
Kids should be allowed to choose how they want to represent themselves with being pushed in this or that direction. The push by some to shove kids who are experimenting into one path or another isn't good.
My main point was that simply respecting people who ask to be called a women harms nobody and is simple decency. Doesn't mean you have to suddenly become woke or whatever.
I think this just comes down to humans beings tending to move towards extremes. The extreme of forcing everyone to agree and accept every new woke ideology is just as bad as those who condemn all LGBTQ and want to change / forbid them.

No one (except a crazy few) are trying to say that transgenderism changes the biological identity of a person. I think most just want to be seen as how they feel inside.
Honestly, just wish we could get over this. Respect their wishes to be called the opposite gender and on the other side don't demand that people believe in every woke notion.
Agree to disagree and respect each other. Move on and lets tackle bigger issues

A few weeks after Elon fired the rotten eggs I decided to try Twitter again and made an account. I posted how Biden needs to be tried for treason.
Immediately banned for violating hate speech and harassment rules LOL
So I deleted the brand new account. It's still the same as before. Perhaps some of the crud is gone, but it looked the same as it ever did.

Yeah I don’t need anyone that lives in a fantasy land telling me what is real or not real.
BTW, he looks like he doesn’t wash his stringy hair in that one picture.

So is Melissa a boy or a girl?
What do you think? I am just returning the question.
Unless it was rhetorical...
I have no idea if a "transwoman" is a boy or a girl. It was a sincere question.
ETA: Never mind, it's obviously a boy after looking at pictures.
