    All decent people should get off X and let it continue to fester. The people who continue to use it despite claiming to be against everything it and Musk stand for are a part of the problem.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    PragerU, which is not a university, aims to “preserve American ideals.” The organization has been criticized for doubting climate change and downplaying the realities of slavery.

    “PragerU has chosen X/Twitter specifically for this campaign, as it is one of the least censored social media platforms,” the organization wrote in a press release.

    PragerU calls the short documentary its “most important” video yet, but extensive research shows that detransitioning is incredibly uncommon.

    In spite of research indicating that these procedures are often life-saving and rarely result in regret, right-wing figures continue to drum up panic around gender-affirming care for LGBTQ+ people.

    X CEO Linda Yaccarino claims that the company will be profitable by 2024, but other evidence shows that the platform’s advertising business continues to suffer.

    As recently as this week, Musk has posted that he believes the word “cis” is a “heterosexual slur,” a personal position that reflects changes made to the company’s content moderation policies under his leadership.

      As is the social media site. This is the kind of shit he bought it for and it someone made a film full of trans people saying "yep I feel much better now", there isn't a chance in hell he'd let them run these kinds of ads for it.

    There was a simpler time when anti-trans meant you opposed both autobots and decepticons.
