I know there are people reading this who work for major companies still advertising on Twitter (Apple, Google, and Amazon at least), so: two days before the SF Trans March, Elon is making it even more explicit that Twitter is a transphobic platform. You have the ability to influence the behaviour of your employers. Maybe do that?

@mjg59 Didn't the guy he is replying there to say he didn't want to be called cis, and then a bunch of people did anything in the replies? That doesn't seem very nice.

I think banning the word cis on the platform would be terrible but given the context I think he's just saying don't call people cis who don't want to be called that.

@jengland @mjg59 wait, you mean that people should think of what others want themselves to be called?

That seems pretty radical
