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)

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
so should trans females find “trans” offensive? and should white americans find “white” offensive? black americans are called black all the time? (trans women are referred to as trans in situations where it’s irrelevant all the time too. i think it’s important to see labels like these in a balanced way 
no, just understand that one is the majority and one is the minority.
but not always. women can present more or less masculinity, correct?
