They would have to admit that either people can't just choose their own gender or that Trump is the first female president.
I have long hair, and as part of a celebration of some of my Scottish ancestry, have access to kilts . If I opted to shave my beard and wax my legs, I wonder how hard it would be to pretend to be trans for like a month or so to prove how easy it is to exploit this law.
You don’t even need to go through all that effort.
It would make things easier
Theoreticaly its all about what you claim
Thats why it is so stupid
Well clearly it's not. Even if that is what is written.
It's what people believe about your claim (also stupid)
But given activist judges and the fact actually trans people get kicked out of the left, it would be a better proof of point.
Also, it would make them question anyone else who claims to be trans. Which then makes them transphobs
So this happned

I think the ruling about Trump is that Twitter is a public forum so Trump can’t block people. If Twitter is now considered a public forum instead of a private one then twitter themselves can’t remove people from the platform either. Should be interesting how this plays out.
I hope someone with some pennys kicking around can take this to court.
he will appeal and win, prolly
well, the question begs, is it a public form in the eyes of a government official, but a private entity. I.E. you can't block the public but the public can block you kind of deal
oof
Trump's Twatter account is a private account. Even after becoming POTUS this fact didn't change. As a private citizen on that front he have a right to block people
@Yakamaru are you a private citizen while president?
Uhh, yes
Even as a public servant you are not exempt from social platform's CoC/ToS
They apply equally across the board
He is using the account in a private manner
what does CoC/ToS have to do with being allowed to block people, exactly? aside from giving him the ability to on their end
i was not aware not blocking people violates twitters ToS.
there is two sides here. Twitter giving him the ability, and if he should be allowed to exercise it
it certainly doesn't look good for any public servant to prevent any member of the public from contact them
even if it may be justified at times
as it sends a message of "your concerns are not valid to me"
And what if they are doing nothing but screech at them?
Being an asshole?
It's protected.
being an asshole and determining if their screeching is valid is subjective.
hence why it never looks good, regardless of how justified it might be
I wonder if Twitter artificially bumping up negative replies on Trumps Twitter and hiding positive ones also violates 1A rights if his Twitter is a public space.
i think there is a difference between twitter blocking their users from talking and trump doing it.
its their platform, their rules.
But if his twitter is considered a public forum it might be different.
