You could argue that a wise policy is that we should all be called by terms and pronouns we don't like, now and then, and that to do otherwise is coddling. You could argue that Twitter shouldn't try to enforce courtesy. You could accuse, that's not what Twitter is really doing.
Attempting to speak the truth, it seems to me, if successfully done, makes the speaker vulnerable by revealing their world view and assumptions. Testing it against an audience results in reorientation toward's the speakers view or internal reevaluate by the speaker.

Rigidly coupling pronoun gender, in the context of daily social interaction, to apparent biological sex does not reorient anyone. Higher truths reorient people. Reality is messy. Being able to fluidly relate frames to deliver new insight is what it is about.
