X Reinstates Policy Against Deadnaming and Misgendering

The social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, revises its approach to handling posts that misuse transgender individuals' pronouns or former names.

X, formerly known as Twitter, has quietly reinstated its policy against deadnaming and misgendering, reversing a decision made last year.
The updated policy will reduce the visibility of posts that misuse pronouns or former names of transgender individuals, rather than outright banning them.
The policy change has been met with mixed reactions, with some viewing it as a step back from stronger protections previously offered.
X's decision to require self-reporting by the targets of such abuse has been criticized for placing an undue burden on victims.
The move comes amid ongoing legal challenges for X, including a lawsuit related to increases in hate speech on the platform.
