X owner Elon Musk significantly rolled back a newly reinstated policy preventing users from “misgendering” other users on the platform, a reversal that follows backlash from conservatives.

X updated its “Abuse and Harassment” policies on Monday to subtly change the recently added section outlining that the platform would reduce the visibility of posts that include misgendering (referring to a transgender person by pronouns with which they do not identify) or “deadnaming” (using a transgender person’s birth name against their will). The policy will now only apply in certain countries if local law requires it.
