This is huge 👏 Mastodon — one of the biggest X/Twitter alternatives — has made it clear that targeted misgendering and deadnaming, as well as promotion of “conversion therapy” content is prohibited.

From its updated server rules ⬇️🧵 Image
As GLAAD has noted, all social media platforms should prohibit targeted misgendering and deadnaming in their hate speech policies.
glaad.org/social-media-p…
So-called “conversion therapy” is a harmful practice that attempts to change an LGBTQ person’s sexual orientation and/or gender identity. All platforms should have policies prohibiting its promotion.

🧵Today’s @nytopinion features a wildly biased column by Pamela Paul. You may remember cisgender heterosexual Pamela, who makes a living writing anti-trans content, from her widely criticized & ridiculed piece defending JK Rowling's incessant anti-trans diatribes.
@nytopinion Accompanying this op-ed is a prewritten defense by Pamela’s editor justifying the printing of Pamela's bias as if it were truth - a desperate and clear indication that @nytimes is aware they are publishing fearmongering masquerading as concern.
@nytopinion @nytimes Pamela’s piece distorts the realities of being trans and accessing healthcare, and leaves out key information about the people chosen as interviewees, obfuscating motives and personal bias. (See )

A timeline of what's happening this week with the @nytimes (THREAD)
Weds: 120+ orgs and leaders send a letter to @nytimes demanding they stop publishing biased pieces about trans people. NYT's response? They're proud of their biased pieces.
Also Weds: 180 former NYT contributors send a letter calling out biased trans coverage. NYT's response? ....nothing

We watched the Ricky Gervais "comedy" special on Netflix so you don’t have to. It’s full of graphic, dangerous, anti-trans rants masquerading as jokes. He also spouts anti-gay rhetoric & spreads inaccurate information about HIV. 1/4
Attention Ricky and Netflix: people living with HIV today, when on effective treatment, lead long and healthy lives and cannot transmit HIV to others. U=U 2/4
Netflix has a policy that content "designed to incite hate or violence" is not allowed on their platform, but we all know that anti-LGBTQ content does exactly that. While Netflix is home to some groundbreaking LGBTQ shows, it refuses to enforce its own policy in comedy. 3/4

Tonight @60Minutes @LesleyRStahl aired a shameful segment fearmongering about trans youth. Parents of trans youth could walk away with the false belief that young people are being rushed into medical transition. That is simply untrue. (1/7)
As the piece noted, every major medical association supports affirming, age-appropriate care for trans youth and the guidelines for that care are safe and well-established. And yet, the majority of the story was devoted to "raising concerns" about youth accessing that care. (2/7)
The segment also wrongfully implied that trans YouTubers and online communities which affirm trans youth are somehow brainwashing kids and turning them trans. That is dangerous and at the same time ridiculous. Aren't we past arguing that media can turn people gay or trans? (3/7)
