That you're appealing to the authority of science to justify a blatantly political sentiment and calling it Galileo is... appropriate, I guess? But not probably in the way you mean it to be?
I will also just say, as a historian: I cannot conceive of how you think Twitter's policy about the use of deadnaming as a form of harassment will impact historical practice. If you don't like the policy, OK, but don't invoke my profession in your defense. It's ridiculous.
You dont seem to understand what is at stake here. This is not a joke. It looks like its silly but i assure you they are not joking about this deadnaming thing.
Good. Don't deadname people and you'll be fine. Do it, and you deserve the ban.
What if i want to talk about Mrs Jenner when she won an olympic medal? Should i be banned for adequately representing reality? You dont seem to realise how deep this rabbit hole goes. But hey, if it makes you *feel* good and righteous, then why even think about it right ?
Didn't you just effectively talk about her in that timeframe while avoiding deadnaming? Fancy that. This isn't rocket science. This is not the Spanish Inquisition. People are insisting you not harass people and you're insisting that's persecution.
You dont get it and thats ok.
When you get banned that'll be ok too.
When *YOU* get banned for some wrongspeech in the future maybe you will understand then. Banning people from saying the truth is very dangerous. Freedom of speech isnt just a nice concept, its the foundation of a civilised society. *You* are the barbarian at the gate.
It's twitter dot com, not the government. They can change their TOS, and enforce them without fear of a 1st amendment violation. Were I to be banned, I would get a snack. How pathetic are you that being banned from a social media site is your idea of societal decay?
I love the pseudoreligiosity in your admonition not to use your profession's name in vain. Also noteworthy that you seem to be siding with the Inquisition against Galileo.
No it isn't. If you state the historical fact about a certain gold medallist, you get banned. It's already happened.
It's tyranny personified. Compelling speech? Not supporting your argument scientifically? That's not honest. That's subversion
O Twitter overlords, will we be obliged to go back and revise or delete all old tweets referencing the dead name, posted pre-transition? Please tell us so that we may be good servants
