Meta Deletes Trans and Nonbinary Messenger Themes

Meta has removed nonbinary and trans-themed options from its Messenger app, which previously included themes celebrating these communities. This decision coincides with an update to community guidelines that allows labeling LGBTQ+ individuals as “mentally ill.” The removal has sparked internal dissent among Meta employees, with reports of significant unrest and a chaotic atmosphere within the company. The trans theme was introduced in June 2021, and the nonbinary theme in June 2022, both of which have had their related blog posts removed from Meta's online presence.

Meta ‘removes LGBTQ+ Pride themes from Facebook Messenger app’

Meta has removed Pride and LGBTQ+ themes from Facebook Messenger, which included color schemes reflecting the pride flags of transgender and non-binary identities. These themes were initially introduced in 2021 and 2022 for Pride Month. The company's recent changes to hate speech policies now allow users to label queer individuals as “mentally ill,” leading to backlash and internal chaos among employees, some of whom have taken sick leave. Reports indicate that employees are seeking clarification on the policy changes, which diverge from established scientific consensus. A member of Meta's policy team stated the revisions aim to correct overly restrictive rules while reaffirming the company's core value of free expression, even if it means allowing offensive content.
