going to get on my soapbox about X for a moment for two things
people who say “twitter is the only time i’ll deadname something”, like it’s a statement that fucking matters at anyone at all, when i don’t want deadnaming to EVER be something we’re treating as OK
calling X “twitter” is just cope for people who can’t move off the fucking app and want to pretend like musk didn’t successfully take it over, ruin it, and turn it into a nazi child porn site. call it the shit garbage app that it is, the thing you liked called “twitter” is dead
not directed at anyone in particular or you, OP, just wanted to get this off my chest
If a trans person says or does something morally wrong I do not ever attempt to “punish” them with deadnaming or misgendering. However, I consider Twitter.com neither transgender nor person. I’m not causing any harm whatsoever. Sorry to offend you, but Elon Musk didn’t invent anything, “X” is just him buying Twitter and loading it up with Nazi Pedophiles., and to further twist the knife, he didn’t invent electric cars, he didn’t perfect space travel, he hasn’t “solved traffic”, he’s not even earned his own video game achievements.
i feel like we’re in agreement, except for the conclusion we arrived at about it
i just don’t like it when people act like saying (literally) “i will deadname twitter” will hurt twitter more than the trans people who might have actually been deadnamed. i think it’s a waste to trigger them to act like calling x “twitter” is a slur or smth
I mean that’s only true for people who actually see it as deadnaming, which it isn’t. As I said before the point isn’t actually “Deadnaming is okay in this instance” but “This app is literally just Twitter.” Elon and supporters have called that deadnaming as some sort of gotcha and nobody argues that it isn’t because it’s not like he’s actually opposing deadnaming he dislikes the observation that he hasn’t built anything.
people who say “twitter is the only time i’ll deadname something”
This is definitely a ridiculous statement from the jump, but there’s no relation to deadnaming at all. Trying to make a comparison between Chicagoans calling it the Sears Tower with the harm deadnaming a person causes is insane. Despite what Mitt Romney and a large portion of US law says, corporations aren’t people.
