TL;DR Summary

Twitter has removed its policy against deadnaming or targeted misgendering of transgender individuals, raising concerns about the safety of marginalized groups on the platform. The move comes as Twitter also announced that it will only put warning labels on some tweets that are potentially in violation of its rules against hateful conduct. GLAAD, an advocacy group, criticized the decision, saying it makes Twitter even more out of step with other platforms that maintain similar policies to protect their transgender users.
