"Elon Musk is a lot of things. A Tesla not-founder, a Hyperloop not-builder,
and most recently the guy making Twitter worse in nearly every possible way.
He’s had a lot of fun with that last role, using his ownership of the site to
drive away advertisers and boost hateful “documentaries,” but now it seems he’s
realized a greater calling: Arbitrarily deciding what counts as hate speech or
harassment on the platform.

Previously, this meant removing the company’s policies against misgendering,
declaring it open season to attack trans people on the site. Now, he’s gone one
step further, declaring the antithetical term “cisgender” to be “harassment,” a
“slur,” and worthy of suspension."
