That's because this shit is not considered ethical amongst journalists:

As an example, and I can't believe I'm citing Hunter S. Thompson on the subject of journalistic ethics, but imagine HST had actually taken his draft of Hell's Angels to the Hell's Angels and asked them for permission and approval of the shit he said about them.
He'd have had very good reasons to do so, involving the fact that it was pretty likely they'd kick his ass or worse if they didn't like it. And in fact, they eventually did, although it had more to do with money, since they more or less liked the book.
But he didn't.
I feel like there might be more of a "deadnaming is harassment/doxing" thing going on with those who enforce the twitter rules. I think the concept of punishing people for "deadnaming" a public figure is pretty fucking stupid since it basically allows someone to display that they don't have to be held accountable for 80% of the things they've done in their lifespan.
This is why I've decided on the "Phil rule" for Wu. Fuck John Flynt.
It seems to be increasingly the rule that the "deadnaming" complaint is just a way to evade responsibility for the evil shit you did under your male name. Fuck off with that.
John Flynt needs to take responsibility for the shit he's done, and none of it has been feminine at all.
