on the general topic of content moderation, it's probably a good time to revisit this old article (from 2019) about the independent contractors who work for facebook as content moderators. obviously this is a pretty facebook-specific article, and a lot of what made these people's lives hell was the inhumane working conditions at their specific job site, but I'd imagine this speaks pretty well to the broad experience of social media content moderation and the kind of horrendous shit these people have to see on a daily basis.
because, remember: any content you report has to be reviewed by a live person being on the other side of that support menu. human labor is what keeps these systems running.
(general warning here for, uh... workplace harassment, unsanitary working conditions, abuse, violence, and everything else that comes from moderating the heinous underbelly of the internet)
For the six months after he was hired, Speagle would moderate 100 to 200 posts a day. He watched people throw puppies into a raging river, and put lit fireworks in dogs’ mouths. He watched people mutilate the genitals of a live mouse, and chop off a cat’s face with a hatchet. He watched videos of people playing with human fetuses, and says he learned that they are allowed on Facebook “as long as the skin is translucent.” He found that he could no longer sleep for more than two or three hours a night. He would frequently wake up in a cold sweat, crying.
for further reading: here's another article from 2019 (Inside Facebook, the second-class workers who do the hardest job are waging a quiet battle) and one from 2014 (The Laborers Who Keep Dick Pics and Beheadings Out of Your Facebook Feed)

If a guy said he feels like a ‘speagle’, no one would know what that meant. They would have no sense of how he might dress, or behave, or anything, if he decided to start ‘living as a speagle’.
When a man says he identifies as a woman, everyone knows what that means. Has a sense of how he might want to present himself, or behave.
When they say ‘woman’ they are referring to the concrete existence of a group of people, even though they pretend that no one knows what a woman is. But people don’t say, ‘oh yes? what is one of those?’, or ‘what do you mean?’ - they know what a woman is.
Stop pretending that you don’t.
