Twitter censors user's tweet calling a "trans" user an "AGP": A Twitter user shared a screenshot of another user's censorship notice. The censored user tweeted "You're an AGP" at another user, as well as four other similar tweets. UrbanDictionary lists the definition of "AGP" as an "autogynephile," which is a sexual perversion in which men get aroused by the idea of being a woman. This is one explanation for some of the male-to-female transgender persons. Twitter locked the user's account until she deleted the tweets. Additionally, the user who shared the screenshot of the censorship notice had a sensitive content filter placed over the screenshot. This required desktop Twitter users who have not changed the default sensitivity settings to click through the notice in order to view the content. Mobile app users are unable to view the content without changing the settings.
