I'm not going anywhere near Xitter, but I have the feeling if I typed out "t----y" not only would it not be flagged but I'd be commended as a brave anti-woke warrior.
For years I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to wrap my head around the fact that plenty of people who appear to have at least enough common sense survive in the world fail to consider whether something they are told on Xitter makes any ducking sense. Given that they believe that being trans is a lifestyle choice, and choosing gender-affirming surgery is similar to deciding to get a boob job or a nose bob, how can they not figure out that nobody is voluntarily going to make that type of choice knowing it will likely make them want to kill themselves? It's just a ridiculous notion all around, and goes to show how much a lot of people are willing to suspend critical thought for the sake of indulging their pet biases.
I’d only just finished reading Erin Reed’s story on that egregiously bad study when the alert for this article popped up. Good to know next time I visit the ER for say a broken bone some other bogus researchers might use that against transgender people who had surgery since I didn’t also attempt suicide. I guess I also can’t refer to myself as cisgender, that being a slur rather than an identifier. Sigh.
Can I tear his head off? Or should I go lower? BTW, I am a pacifist. I just have fantasies.
I guess eXtwittet is no place to talk about France in antiquity, consisting of Transalpine Gaul and [redacted]alpine Gaul!

I like Xitter...with the pinyin pronunciation, of course.
Or the Portuguese pronunciation. 😉
Twitter was only mostly a cesspit before, now it's mission complete, Elmo! Congratulations. 🖕🏻
Fear-mongers, propagandists, insurrectionists, liars, and half-wits - there's an app. for that! It's very X-citing!
But the N-word, countless slurs related to the vagina, gay slurs, other racial slurs - all fine.

Elon Musk is a tool. Full stop. Quelle surprise. 😲
I feel like an assgadget might be helpful. Elon, not so much.

FYI - I wasn't trying to be shy or cute. My fucking spell checker did a stealth correction on me. I won't be fooled again. At least not today.
😤 Elon.

I've never used Twitter and never will. I can't imagine 140 characters being sufficient for expression.
