As Twitchy readers know, this morning we covered a thread from The Daily Wire’s Jeremy Boreing about Twitter canceling the deal they had to show ‘What Is A Woman’ on the platform over misgendering. Most everyone who has watched and listened to Elon Musk talk about the importance of free speech for the past year+ was shocked to see this …

Twitter canceled a deal with @realdailywire to premiere What is a Woman? for free on the platform because of two instances of “misgendering.”

Ours are Twit/Chy.

Hrm, that doesn’t work as well.

Imagine being Elon. You go to sleep thinking everything is in good hands, and when you wake up everything is on fire.
