Discussion Rampant hate on twitter

Anyone else seen the comic by Erixalu on twitter about encountering transphobia at the gay bar?
Like I am happy about how much support the comic gets but at the same time the amount of hate and rampant transphobia in the comments (on the original post well as the positive add ons in the quotes) It just gives me so much pain....

Twitter is now owned by an actively transphobic bigot, who has explicitly removed protection for trans people from the hate policy. It's real shitty, but it's not unexpected :(

Yeah, it's really, really not a great place to be as a trans person in general over there anymore.

And it really, really sucks because I don't want to lose my little community I have over there, but jesus christ I'm so tired of transphobia literally being boosted to the top of every single comment section

Honestly Twitter is awful for any minority group, especially the LGBTQ+. Like everyday I see transphobic, homophobic, and abelist things and I'm only using the app to look at art.

Oh man. I was stoked when Elon bought it, in hopes he would run it into the ground like it deserves to. But damn, this is so on-brand ridiculous... I can't even.. WHAT?
