Musk declared that “cisgender” — meaning “not transgender” — is now considered a slur on the social network.

    This is one of the stupidest things I’ve seen lately, what a shitshow. Let’s make “straight” a slur next.

    Get this… Musk believes not only that he can just will a change to a word in a massively spoken language, but that the word, which is a term for “straight”, should be offensive to everyone. Why does Elon Musk hate straight people? The dude is a total clown.

    Apparently Musk hasn’t considered the number of cisgendered allies to the trans* community who are willing to describe themselves as cis/cisgendered.

    I’d like to point out that restricting language is one of the tenants of fascism.

    If you’re still on Twitter, you’re part of the problem.
