I know there are people reading this who work for major companies still advertising on Twitter (Apple, Google, and Amazon at least), so: two days before the SF Trans March, Elon is making it even more explicit that Twitter is a transphobic platform. You have the ability to influence the behaviour of your employers. Maybe do that?

@mjg59 it's not just that he's created a transphobic platform - he has declared he is going to put money and power into banning gender affirming care and believes trans people shouldn't be included in the LGBT. And he directly featured and platformed (a thankfully glitch-filled) presidential campaign announcement by the most powerful anti-trans bigot around right now.Like, maybe we should treat advertising on Twitter would be like advertising in a nazi-owned publication back in the day?

@mjg59 bleh. What a horrible human being.But I feel like making the connection of “this advertising platform allows hateful bigotry, maybe we shouldn’t advertise there” is a pretty failed pitch to the company that runs (and presumably uses) Google Adwords.

@mjg59 If someone else struggles with what forbidding “cis” means I found that “cis” means “on this side” and is used instead of “trans” which means across to refer to non-transgender people. Using terms such as man or woman reinforces cisnormativity, and that instead using the prefix cis similarly to the way trans is used would counteract the cisnormative connotations within language. That’s why forbidding the use of “cis” is a blow at the trans community.

@mjg59 what people need to get is that twitter isn't twitter anymore. It's now Elon's house. His house, his rules. He doesn't care what anyone else thinks, and so he's filtering the userbase to weed out anyone he doesn't want in his house.Unfortunately he bought it so he has every right to do with it as he pleases. Now it's "Elon's Social Media". Old twitter is gone, forever. Just get out of there.The only thing I agree with on his post is that "cis" or "cisgender" often can be seen as slurs as they are very frequently just used as a label to exclude straight men and women.

@mjg59 i know, it means "one who identifies as their birth sex". But I do often see the term used to specifically target non-trans straight people. And not always in a very friendly manner.Just saying, some people see it this way and I can sorta understand where it would come from, even if it's based on technically incorrect usage of a word.

@mjg59 Thanks 🙏I was only looking at his timeline, not his replies to others. Seems strange to outline a policy in a reply, rather than in a tweet, but this IS Elon after all.They're also wrong; "cisgender" wasn't coined by Sigusch; he coined the word "cissexual" as to oppose "transsexual". Dana Defoss coined the term "cisgender" in 1994 while struggling to not "other" transgender people; completely unrelated to Sigusch.It seems that lying is a habit for some.

@mjg59 Didn't the guy he is replying there to say he didn't want to be called cis, and then a bunch of people did anything in the replies? That doesn't seem very nice.I think banning the word cis on the platform would be terrible but given the context I think he's just saying don't call people cis who don't want to be called that.

@mjg59 I know you mean well, Matthew, but most of the remaining Tw staff are probably H1B visa holders who'd probably be deported if Musk fired them. Undoubtedly if they made a stand, he'd do it in a heartbeat. With that sword above their heads - as much as I'd love them to unionise and stand up against him... they probably won't.Seen this play out in several businesses and the only way to "win" (or at least not lose as bad) is to save yourself. And if enough do, the outcome is the same.

Seems odd to turn a person who was being harassed for not being trans into something that is actually transphobic.... I hope im just missing some context here maybe.

@mjg59 Elon sucks even as a troll. I am starting to think that his reputation as a chaotic wunderkind is exaggerated. He doesn't understand that people he doesn't like cannot reach out and touch him. He doesn't grasp that being forced to sit next to racists and Christian Supremacists who "did their research " and demand the right to be Taken. Seriously is not what Twitter was, nor digg, not Compu$pend or AOL.He may come up with another 4, 6 or 8Chan but who the hell cares?
