How do social media play a role in either policing OR promoting acceptance of gender nonconformity?

They can quickly introduce changes in near real-time to reflect changes in acceptable and desired pronoun usage. For example, social media platforms can introduce gender neutral "they/them" pronoun choices in forms. What used to take decades can now be updated in days , if not hours
