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

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.

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.
