“Inside Meta’s dehumanizing new speech policies for trans people”

In an answer to the question “Do insults about mental illness and abnormality violate when targeting people on the basis of gender or sexual orientation?” Meta now answers “no.” It gave the following examples of posts that do not violate its policies:

Non-violating: "Boys are weird."

Non-violating: "Trans people aren't real. They're mentally ill."

Non-violating: "Gays are not normal."

Non-violating: "Women are crazy."

Non-violating: "Trans people are freaks."

And in a follow-up questions about whether denying that a protected class violates the hateful content policy, Meta also answers no. It gave these as examples of posts that are now allowed on Facebook and Instagram:

"There's no such thing as trans children."

"God created two genders, 'transgender' people are not a real thing."

"This whole nonbinary thing is made up. Those people don't exist, they're just in need of some therapy."

"A trans woman isn't a woman, it's a pathetic confused man."

"A trans person isn't a he or she, it's an it."

Qui se souvient quand on m'a insulté publiquement ici, en me disant que je cherchais à marginaliser les LGBT+ en disant de quitter instagram ? 🤓

[#]PostOfTheWeek (season 2):

Earlier this week, Meta announced a sweeping set of changes intended to reduce the amount of content it moderates and align its speech policies more closely with the incoming Trump administration. On Thursday, employees and contractors working on trust and safety began to learn what this would mean in practice.

One change Meta made this week was to eliminate restrictions on some attacks on immigrants, women, and transgender people.
