    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.
