It is definitely allowed. Whether or not you agree with using someone\u2019s preferred pronouns, not doing so is at most rude and certainly breaks no laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ella Irwin, Twitter\u2019s head of trust and safety, confirmed her resignation in a pair of tweets late Friday. She did not say why she was leaving, but her departure came soon after Musk criticized Twitter\u2019s handling of tweets about a conservative media company\u2019s documentary that questions transgender medical treatment for children and teens.<\/p>\n<h3>Controversy Over Conservative Media Company&#8217;s Documentary<\/h3>\n<p>Musk was responding to complaints by Jeremy Boreing, co-CEO of the media company The Daily Wire. Boreing said in tweets and retweets of conservative commentators Thursday that Twitter was suppressing the movie by flagging posts about it as hate speech and keeping the movie off lists of trending topics.<\/p>\n<p>Boreing tweeted that Twitter canceled a deal to premiere \u201cWhat is a Woman?\u201d for free on the platform \u201cbecause of two instances of \u2018misgendering.\u2019\u201d Twitter rules prohibit intentionally referring to transgender individuals with the wrong gender or name.<\/p>\n<h3>Twitter Turmoil<\/h3>\n<p>Next to Musk, Irwin had been the most prominent voice of the company\u2019s ever-changing content policies in recent months. Twitter has struggled to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-top-twitter-executive-resigns-after-suppression-of-documentary-questioning-transgender-procedures-on-children\/\" title=\"Twitter executive resigns over censorship of documentary on transgender procedures for children.\">bring back advertisers turned<\/a> off by Musk\u2019s drastic changes and loosening of rules against so<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/from-anti-semitic-agitator-to-democratic-power-broker-the-preposterous-resurrection-of-al-sharpton\/\" title=\"From Anti-Semitic Agitator to Democratic Power Broker: The Preposterous Resurrection of Al Sharpton\">-called hate speech<\/a> since he bought Twitter for $44 billion in October.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter also has an incoming CEO, Linda Yaccarino, known for decades of media and advertising industry experience, but she hasn\u2019t started yet. Irwin and Twitter didn\u2019t respond to requests from The Associated Press for comment.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Twitter has been in turmoil, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/economy-again-beats-expectations-with-311000-jobs-in-february-unemployment-rises-to-3-6\/\" title=\"Economy again beats expectations with 311,000 jobs in February, unemployment rises to 3.6%\">including mass layoffs<\/a> and voluntary departures, since the billionaire Tesla owner bought the San Francisco company and took it private. The company\u2019s head of trust and safety left shortly after the takeover, and turnover in the top ranks has continued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic\">The Western Journal has reviewed this Associated Press story and may have altered it prior to publication to ensure that it meets our editorial standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>safety and content moderation, has resigned following Elon Musk&#8217;s criticism of the platform&#8217;s handling of transgender posts.
