The reporting of “misgendering” or “deadnaming” on Twitter has long been “informally” in use on the platform – in 2018, Meghan Murphy, a Canadian activist, had her account permanently suspended for tweeting “Yes, it’s him,” referring to a trans-identified man called Jonathan Yaniv, after Twitter updated their “Terms of Services” at short notice.
On December 7, 2021, Twitter announced on their blog that they were testing a new reporting tool with a small group of people in the US. However, 2022 is the first time that “misgendering” and “deadnaming” were spotted by the wider public who use the platform as direct choices in Twitter’s reporting tools.
The new Twitter reporting process might now make it even harder for women to speak against gender identity ideology, because they can be reported for “misgendering” or “deadnaming” someone if they refuse to use female pronouns for males.
Beside Meghan Murphy, many other women have been permanently suspended from Twitter, especially since 2018.

There is also an informal suspension via appeals. For instance, I pointed out the mental illness problems trans people have in a way that children could understand for a Public Safety Announcement. Its been on appeal for a couple of months & I cannot log in. twitter.com/refereepac
