It’s fucking insane that their guidelines are “it is against the rules to use these insults against any group… except this one specific group”

Not insane at all it's done with a clear reason.

Facebook and twitter both became project 2025 propaganda machines..

Careful, there's nothing in those rules that lets you call Zuckerberg insane!

Why would it then specify homosexuality which has nothing to do with any body issues?

Stop defending bigotry when it's so blatantly that.

“We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like ‘weird,’” the revised company guidelines read.

Nope. It specifies that you can also call people mentally ill for their sexuality. Which has nothing to do with gender dysphoria.

Hell, you even got the term gender dysphoria wrong. Typical maggat lying about shit they don't know about
