X now treats the term cisgender as a slur
X now considers the term “cisgender” a slur. On Tuesday, the platform reportedly began posting an official warning that the LGBTQ-inclusive terms could result in a ban from the platform.
You're viewing a single thread.
I honestly never even considered that it was a slur. Sometimes you are having a discussion where gender identity is relevant, and in that situation it is useful to be able to clearly indicate that someone is cisgender.
See I just used it.
The word was created so the official opposite of transgender is not simply the word "normal". Treating cisgender as a slur is just attacking transgender people.
I agree completely. The whole manufactured discussion about it it ridiculous. Conservative love to be able to point at social values and try to claim there is simply an opposite alternative fact that’s completely contradictory to it on the conservative spectrum. Did you notice when they normalized leftist?
When I first heard it, I assumed it was a slur because the closest common use English word is cissy.
But then I like... looked it up.
Basically, I can understand how some folks initially think it's a slur, but this conservative overreaction is clearly in bad faith and it'd almost certainly happen whatever the fuck the word was.
