Twitter Bans “Misgendering” and “Deadnaming”

Body

“ ‘Misgendering’ refers to when someone uses the ‘wrong’ pronoun to describe a transgender person (i.e., calling a biological male who identifies as female ‘he’). ‘Deadnaming’ refers to using a transgender person’s birth name (i.e. calling well-known athlete Bruce Jenner ‘Bruce’ instead of his preferred ‘Caitlyn’).” - AiG
