Violent misogyny is completely normalized on Twitter, to the extent that women who click the "report" button don't even get replies. But misgender a trans person and BOOM the Twitter riot police are there in a heartbeat.
I saw something on twitter which I bookmarked for Kimmy's woe-is-women-on-twitter post above:
https://twitter.com/eugenegu/status/1310005325278318593Eugene Gu is a questionable character with accusations of domestic abuse amongst other things but that's irrelevant to my point. This cisgender man is taking a break from twitter because he can't take the onslaught of abuse telling him to commit suicide.
As I've said repeatedly on this thread, twitter and social media in general brings out the worst in people. I don't condone it and I take few risks for myself, but
the abuse does not discriminate towards any particular ideology.
