C*sgender has become a slur on Twitter. Yay or nay?


What do you think? Is this a step in making things right? Or did this happen because somebody is being way too petty?

I think this might be just some childish attempt to troll the left.

Musk allows misgendering and other highly damaging language directed at vulnerable groups on his site, yet he bans a few words that only bother TERFs and others who reject modern gender ideology that reminds them that we no longer live in the dark ages.

as i bend the words and context used to protect marginalized groups so that the same fairness cannot be applied to the large group of normies because they don't deserve anything but vitriol, hatred, and revenge for all the cruelty and injustice they forced onto others since the dawn of time

reply

There are no modern gender ideologies, it’s the same as it always has been. You just don’t want to hurt their feelings.

reply

In other words, you think accurately gendering is damaging but using a made-up word is not.

reply

God, you people are so clueless as to what childish hypocrites you are.

Cheer up buddy

I just don't like a tiny group of nutjobs coming in out of nowhere and forcing us to change our language to suit them. I particularly don't like how they reduce us real women to nothing more than "ciswomen" and "birthing persons," which is stupid considering it makes us sound like laboratory animals or something to file away on a shelf instead of calling us what we truly are.

reply

“Cis” is not a word. “Birthing person” is worse than demeaning. I will not stand for it and you shouldn’t either.

reply

There's a reason we used to keep people like that locked away in mental hospitals and away from our kids. They are nothing but a problem, and have done nothing to improve or "progress" society one bit.

reply

Agreed 💯. Those days need to be brought back, I am all for locking these people away. They are a danger to children and they are a danger to society.

Lunatics and freaks, the biggest democrat demographic.

reply

The left find everything that is not as left as them as offensive.

reply

Nay. Cisgender is a more convenient way of saying someone's gender is the same as their biological sex. They shouldn't ban convenience.

reply

I don’t consider it a slur, because I don’t think people use with malice. But I don’t like it, and I don’t know anyone who does. Usually if the targeted group doesn’t like the term, we stop using it, regardless of how others intend it.

reply

Don't even know what it means but I assumed it was an insult.

I try to block out the made up words and phrases of lunatics.

reply

The term cisgender never bothered me, but then, neither does the existence of transgender people. Learning a new word is a harmless courtesy that cost me nothing.

As far as Twitter goes, I quit that shit as soon as it was bought by an online Troll.
