The Trevor Project has announced their departure from X (formerly known as Twitter) over anti-LGBTQIA+ hate. Since Tesla CEO Elon Musk took over the social media platform, the app has implemented shocking adjustments to its established user policies, resulting in increased anti-LGBTQIA+ hate speech.

In April, X removed regulations that protected transgender users from being deadnamed or misgendered – which was initially introduced in 2018.  “We prohibit targeting others with repeated slurs, tropes or other content that intends to dehumanise, degrade or reinforce negative or harmful stereotypes about a protected category,” the policy said.

Now, a line prohibiting the “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals” has been quietly deleted. On 5 October, journalist Alejandra Caraballo revealed that X had removed another protection for LGBTQIA+ users when it changed their reporting policies.  “Twitter has overhauled its reporting system.

It has removed the ability to report targeted misgendering and transphobic harassment. It has also removed the ability to add context to the report,” she wrote.
