Twitter Struggles with Gender Ideology, Cancels a Daily Wire Partnership

The cancel culture strikes again as Twitter backs out of a partnership with The Daily Wire, initially claiming the documentary “What is a Woman?” violates its policy on “misgendering.” However, company owner Elon Musk contradicts, stating that it was a mistake and the film is “definitively allowed.”

Following an agreement between conservative news outlet The Daily Wire and Twitter, the social media platform backed out of the partnership to promote the documentary “What is a Woman?” Daily Wire Co-CEO Jeremy Boreing accused Twitter of reneging on the agreement and threatening to label the film as “hateful conduct” for alleged misgendering. However, Twitter owner Elon Musk addressed the issue by stating that the cancelation was a mistake on Twitter’s part, adding that not using preferred pronouns is “at most rude” but doesn’t break any laws.

According to Boreing, Twitter cited two instances from the film that conflicted with its policies. The first features a father of a transgender child who referred to his daughter with female pronouns, and the second is a confrontation between a small business owner in Washington state and a transgender woman, where the owner used the incorrect pronoun. In both cases, the documentary captures the ongoing debate about gender identity.

The inconsistencies within Twitter’s policies highlight its struggle with gender ideology. After eliminating policies that prohibited “deadnaming” and “misgendering” transgender individuals, Twitter still considered “gender identity” a protected category against so-called hateful conduct. Elon Musk, who publicly supports the transgender community, had previously promised a free speech platform with the launch of Twitter 2.0.

The questionable cancelation of the Daily Wire partnership occurred despite Twitter’s policy changes and Musk’s claims of promoting free speech. With censorship cases on the platform still on the rise, it’s crucial for conservatives to stand up against Big Tech giants like Twitter and demand transparency, clarity, representation, and accountability.
