YouTube attempts to steer the increasing attention of conservative pundits at LGBTQ people.

YouTube has announced that it is demonetizing some videos on the conservative commentator Candace Owens' channel for breaking its monetization policy regarding hateful and derogatory content. This policy, the company claimed could apply to cases of misgendering or deadnaming.

YouTube does not publically announce any misgendering policy, however, it has stated in an announcement that it regards intentional misgendering to be a violation of its monetization policy regarding unacceptable behavior.

In regards to occasions where she used pronouns that were not favored by transgender individuals, Owens claimed on the Candace Owens Podcast channel on Monday that YouTube had given her "a choice to remove every video that I've made concerning gender, in which I've accurately categorized someone's gender." Videos, where Owens was misgendered, were deemed "hateful behavior" by YouTube as per Owens on a portion of the episode titled "I have an announcement to make.'

The continuing debate over free speech and the anti-trans propaganda published by conservative media on the internet is a topic that is covered by Owens' allegations of YouTube censorship.

Although YouTube claimed that it didn't take away Owens's films, Michael Aciman, a Google spokesperson, confirmed Google had blocked advertisements on "several videos" on Candace Owen's YouTube channel due to violations of our policies on monetization, including the ones that prohibit hateful and sexist content."

By its guidelines for derogatory and offensive content, YouTube may prohibit advertisements from appearing on a video that "promotes discrimination, slanders or insults one or more groups of individuals." Aciman noted this includes slandering of people belonging to the LGBTQ community.

Additionally, Aciman said that this policy could also include enforcing videos that "may contain deliberate death-naming or misgendering of transgender people."

In the past, YouTube has stated that misgendering isn't an element of its guidelines for community members that define what types of videos are allowed and cannot be completely removed. However, Aciman's declaration makes it clear that misgendering plays a significant role in the company's decision to monetize content.

The misgendering of people could be employed as a way to bully transgender people and that's just one of the lines of conflict which have emerged in the ongoing culture war that conservatives such as Owens are fighting in the direction of members of the LGBTQ community.

Owens informed viewers on Monday that there could be videos gone missing since Friday however she didn't mention the channel that the videos were taken off of or the amount of videos removed.

Despite her assertions that YouTube was censoring her content and that they were censoring them, several videos where she debates trans rights, as well as gender identity, remain among more than 1,200 videos available on the podcast YouTube channel, which has 1.67 million users. Yes, on Wednesday, the channel posted these films with the hashtags #pronouns, #trans, and #transgender.

In the film released on August 20, 2021, via YouTube that showed Owens addressed an activist for trans rights Serena Daniari, she said that the "trans movement is a satire of what it is to be an individual woman." The video published in April 2022 shows Owens reacting to gender-neutral pronouns. In an additional episode released at the same time, Owens claimed that a mom of a transgender child "mutilated the once healthy and growing son because of an uneasy feeling he experienced."

A video where Owens selects an unidentified child uploaded on YouTube at the end of May in advance of the start of Pride Month in June is still online. In the episode aired on May 31, Owens referred to the gender of Rachelle Lechevre's daughter by calling it "nonexistent."

YouTube's policy on harassment states it is protected from "harmful behavior such as inflicting insults or shame on minors and intimidation, threatening or promoting aggressive fan behavior" YouTube wrote in its guidelines for community members. YouTube can remove any content that violates its guidelines regarding hate speech and harassment.

"All creators must adhere to Our Community Guidelines, which prohibit content that promotes hatred towards protected groups, which includes members of the LGBTQ+ community," Aciman declared in her statement.

Concerning YouTube's recent actions against her content Owens claimed that YouTube has thwarted her ability to express truth "truth." Owens maintains an active stance against the elements of the movement for transgender equality as well as aspects that are part of her LGBTQ group on social platforms.

In recent months, Owens and the conservative outlet she's associated with The Daily Wire, have been at the forefront of several controversies surrounding their statements about transgender people and how social media platforms treat them.

In her YouTube video, Owens discusses her treatment at YouTube, Owens also accused the site of snaring Matt Walsh's channel following the film's release "What is a Woman?" starring Walsh. The documentary that was anti-trans garnered the endorsement of Twitter founder Elon Musk. The latter tweeted "Every parent should see this" in an online post on Twitter on the 2nd of June. Twitter initially blocked the publication of the film on its platform, which Musk did not change, leading to the public departure last week of the head of safety and trust, Ella Irwin.

Musk removed Twitter's ban on users from sexism through the site in April. This was an action that was heavily condemned by LGBTQ advocacy organizations.

Owens stated that YouTube removed the monetization of Walsh's channel, and now was focused on her and co-host Daily Wire host Michael Knowles and Michael Knowles' respective channels. "I believe it's because (Walsh) got targeted because he's been making a statement about gender concerns," Owens said on her podcast.
