Elon Musk says terms like “cisgender”and “cis” are now considered “slurs” on Twitter and will not be tolerated.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Elon never said that you can't say the word. He said that repeated harassment would be banned. The only thing he said about the word cis is that it was considered a slur. You can still say many slurs on Twitter (such as the N word)

Sure, but just referring to “females” can be ambiguous and confusing in certain contexts. Not most of them, but some.
so that’s why she thinks that biological females who identify as females are “females” and trans females are “transgender females” to add context.
That's not really helpful though? “Transgender females” are trans females and “females” are trans females and cis females.
Ok so I just talked to her to confirm her opinion on this. She said “I am fine with transgender females being under the term female, however if an extra label needs to be added it should be for them, not me” I think that’s a fair viewpoint.
