I wasn't being dismissive though. I think people being banned for stating basic facts is actually a pretty huge deal. That's 1984-espque 2+2=5 type shit. And fair enough, I don't use Twitter. However, I do use Tumblr and Ovarit (to a lesser extent) and I've seen GC and LGB Twitter users venting on those platforms. The impression I've gotten is that TRA Twitter users can basically get away with bloody murder while GC users can get banned for the slightest infraction. Like TRAs can openly call for the beating, rape, or murder of "TERFs" while GC users get banned just for saying Caitlyn Jenner/Riley J. Dennis/Yaniv/whoever is a man. I also heard about stuff like the incident with J.K. Rowling getting bombarded with dick pics from transwomen.

My main point was that whatever good the Musk takeover will do for GC Twitter users is just incidental, and may end up being a wash because of the probable influx of right wing nutjobs. Like the presence of ACTUAL neo nazis on Twitter now is something TRAs can use as ammo to push their narrative that GC people are just a punch of hateful Nazis who want Trans people dead.
