This is a companion market to https://manifold.markets/IsaacKing/will-this-richard-hanania-article-o, in order to control for the chance that trans ideology was going to drop off in popularity regardless of any changes on Twitter.
If Elon Musk buys Twitter and changes its de facto content moderation policies to be less restrictive on criticism of the trans movement, this market resolves N/A.
Otherwise, this market resolves based on my entirely subjective judgement of whether, at the beginning of 2028, the trans movement has lost significant ground relative to other leftist causes. I'll consult the community before resolving, in case other people have had different experiences from me.
Twitter reinstated the anti-misgendering policy this year: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/02/x-quietly-revived-anti-misgendering-policy-that-musk-dropped-last-year/. Except, the policy has changed since the Ars Technica article was published. If you compare February (https://web.archive.org/web/20240229220758/https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/abusive-behavior) and June (https://web.archive.org/web/20240619222133/https://help.x.com/en/rules-and-policies/abusive-behavior), you can see they have prefixed the rule with, "Where required by local laws, [...]"
The word "cisgender" is apparently even more banned than before (https://techcrunch.com/2024/05/14/on-elons-whim-x-now-treats-cisgender-as-a-slur/):
Since last June, X owner Elon Musk has claimed that the words “cis” and “cisgender” are “considered slurs” on the platform. But only more recently have these words triggered full-screen pop-ups warning users that their post might be a violation of platform rules. According to TechCrunch’s testing, this pop-up only seems to appear when using the mobile app.
@IsaacKing What are some examples of past movements which had lost significant ground relative to other causes?
I don’t think so, I’d expect rates of transition to continue to increase in the near term future. Plus, ridiculous as it is, the current gender ideology is currently helping trans people get what they want, so it’s not going to go away until someone figures out something more reasonable which accomplishes the same objectives.
