X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, updated its abuse and harassment rules to revive regulations around content that misgenders or deadnames individuals.
The quiet update comes less than a year after the platform, under Musk’s ownership, revoked its ban on content that uses a transgender person’s name before they transitioned — known as a deadname — or purposefully used the wrong gender for someone.
The update to X’s abuse and harassment rules was first reported by Ars Technica.
The updated rules state X “will reduce the visibility of posts that purposefully use different pronouns to address someone other than what that person uses for themselves, or that use a previous name that someone no longer goes by as part of their transition.”
Jenni Olson, GLAAD’s senior director of social media safety, told Ars Technica the update is a positive move but is still a step back from stronger ban Twitter previously had in place.
GLAAD had pushed back strongly on the platform’s decision to remove its initial policy against deadnaming and misgendering.

Woah, woah, woah, hold on a minute there, bot. The regulations have been updated about deadnaming, okay?
Good bot
