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)

just because most Americans are white doesn’t mean Black Americans should be called Black Americans all the time. Just say American for everybody unless there’s a distinction (then say Black or White Americans) it’s no more complex than that. Politicians want people to be afraid of trans people so they’re making this so much bigger than it really is. 
Um what? This is nothing about bloody politics. It’s about biological women, like my mum, wanting to be called a female and not be tagged on a label.
but what if trans women want to be called female and not be tagged on a label? what makes your mom more deserving of being called female?
“what makes your mom more deserving of being called female?” since she’s a biological female????
i’m honestly just wondering what you’re reasoning is, since gender and its traits (female/male/masculine/feminine) are social constructs… There’s no biological rule that says your gender (how you present/identify yourself to society and the norms/traits you embody) is linked to your biological sex as far as I know?
It’s not my reasoning, it’s my mums. I don’t really have too much of a viewpoint on this as it’s such a confusing situation for me. But im presenting the thoughts on why biological females can find “cis” offensive
