Twitter Evokes Rage of Totalitarian Left

Elon Musk is not exactly a conservative, but he does believe in free speech. Consequently, his stewardship of Twitter continues to enrage liberals. They especially don’t like it that you will no longer get banned from Twitter for referring to people by the proper pronouns, even if they have proclaimed themselves to be transsexual:

The previous policy, enacted in 2018, specifically prohibited users from “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals,” which included using the wrong pronoun or a person’s previous name. As of April 2023, the sentence regarding transgender individuals has been removed from the “Slurs and Tropes” category.

Looks like we can even get away with calling Richard “Rachel” Levine by his original name. Small wins for free speech are important. If leftists can dictate how you are allowed to refer to people, what else will they dictate?

The old policy had been exploited by the thought police to silence both satire…

The Babylon Bee, a satirical news site, was famously locked out of its Twitter account in March 2022 for posting an article that jokingly labeled Dr. Rachel Levine, the transgender Assistant Secretary for Health at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the outlet’s “Man of the Year.”

…and factual reporting:

The site then locked the account of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk for accurately pointing out that Levine, a biological male, fathered children and then “transitioned” into being a woman in 2014.

No conservative was immune:

It also locked Republican Indiana Rep. Jim Banks’ account for calling Levine a man.

Fume the childtargeting LGBT militants at GLAAD:

“The practice of targeted misgendering and deadnaming has been identified by the ADL and other civil society groups as a form of hate speech. Social media companies committed to maintaining safe environments for LGBTQ people should be working to improve hate speech policies, not deleting long-standing ones.”

GLAAD boasts that it is part of the #StopToxicTwitter coalition, intended to bully Twitter back into its previous role as leftist thought regulator. No public access to ideologically noncompliant information or opinion will be permitted if liberals prevail.
