sorry to bring the fight here. Never dead name humans (or cat/dog people). but corporations aren’t people.
Twitter/X isn’t a person. Deadnaming it doesn’t matter. Don’t deadname people, because people have feelings.
appreciate you’re response. thanks
It’s not a person and lacks a self. It’s Twitter
Also I am offended by people acting like this is the same as dead naming. Corporations are not people, transitioning is different from a rebrand
Agree with everything, except it‘s “X”, not “Twitter”.
Not trans, but if you only still calling it “Twitter” because you hope Muskrat will fix it and “unnazibar” it, then you’re huffing high on copium. If you’re calling it Twitter because of the idiotic and failed rebrand attempt of Muskrat, then you’re good. Worst are the people who unironically call it “X”, which is pretty common within the Hungarian far-right. Muskrat likes the Hungarian far-right, because our family tax system is based on the book “The Bell Curve”.
“In this home we deadname Twitter.”
This is a porn community. Take it somewhere else.
Fuck right off, this affects the people who post here or the subject of the posts. You may be able to dehumanize to get off but that makes you a cunt.
No, it really doesn’t. There are numerous more relevant communities to settle a bar argument. Take a breath or go for a walk, friend.
again, I apologise for the lack of due diligence, was driving from NYC to Michigan 15 on the road, and posted it during a stop.
It’s an honest mistake and that specific comment wasn’t directed at you. Asking a community thats sole purpose is fetishizing trans women isn’t going to find you any answers though.
many trans women also get horny for trans people, so its up to the audience own senses to decide if the question is for them.
I’ve been playing nice, but if you want a real answer from the actual audience here goes.
You are just as shitty of a person as the one you’re white knighting against. You’re here with complete disregard for the actual community to try and win a petty and tone-deaf argument by saying “xD look how much people don’t think of you as a person xD” as if you can wield an entire population of people as a cudgel for no purpose other than to inflate your own stubborn ego. You may not be here with intentional malice, but to pretend that this is a good faith question is just naive at best.
Anyone in the trans community already knows full well that the vast majority of people do not view them as a valid person and they don’t need you to rub that fact in any more than it already is on a daily basis. You have accomplished nothing here besides making yourself look like a childish asshole.
I’m here to learn not to be a shithead.
if they were to tell me that it’s wrong to deadname corporations I’ll change my behaviour in respect, even if I disagree. we can disagree and still respect communities.
Are you literally calling a corporation a “Person”? we are in a porn community, so would it be out of place to ask you to go fuck yourself with an unlubed printout of Citizens United V FEC?
fair enough, just went to the first community with trans in is name. didn’t do my due diligence.
Who doesn’t like social issue discussion with their porn?
No
mind elaborating? however, given your posting history you go by [M] in your pornography posts and are clearly amab, I don’t think you are the target to this question.
Sure.
First of all I agree with the other poster that it doesn’t make much of a difference how you call it since it doesn’t have “feelings” (and you can’t talk to “it” in the first place). However I believe that one should strive for internal consistency in one’s way of communicating and should apply the same principles (calling people or things that might have had a different name in the past by the name they chose to give themselves from now on).
Second of all, and this is more about the company, there simply is no such thing as “Twitter” anymore, it doesn’t exist, so calling X that way is just factually incorrect.
I appreciate that I am rather removed from the original context of the question and have no affiliation to the trans community, where this question has more gravity, but nevertheless think that your question has a very clear answer. Then again, you cannot hurt a company in the same way you can hurt a sentient being so everyone should feel free to ignore what I wrote and just call it whatever one likes.
Sorry for rambling this has gotten longer than I intended to.
