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 ⬇️🧵
As GLAAD has noted, all social media platforms should prohibit targeted misgendering and deadnaming in their hate speech policies. glaad.org/social-media-p…

🧵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.

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

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)

If you want to direct your rightful anger over JK Rowling's latest anti-trans comments into something positive, support orgs that help Black trans people like @MPJInstitute, @blacktransusa, @TransJusticeFP, @Genderintell and @ukblackpride
JK Rowling continues to align herself with an ideology which willfully distorts facts about gender identity and people who are trans. In 2020, there is no excuse for targeting trans people.

It's a banner year for LGBTQ inclusion at the #GoldenGlobes but trans writers say Foreign Language nominee "Girl" is "the most dangerous movie about a trans character in years." Read what trans and queer critics are saying. @TheAcademy@NetflixFilm
🚨 THREAD
“Girl isn't a ‘deeply humane’ or ‘arrestingly empathetic’ drama about the trans experience…It's sadistic exploitation made for uneducated cisgender audiences to feel like they get it…It's the most dangerous movie about a trans character in years.” @THRhollywoodreporter.com/news/belgiums-…
