Musk designates ‘cis’ and ‘cisgender’ as slurs, says Twitter to suspend users for using them

JTN: Twitter owner Elon Musk on Wednesday declared that the platform considers the terms “cis” and “cisgender” to be slurs and confirmed that the social media platform would suspend users for harassing others with the designations.

“Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions. The words ‘cis’ or ‘cisgender’ are considered slurs on this platform,” Musk said. more

  1. From the article…:”Cis” and “Cisgender” are terms popular with trans individuals to reference those whose gender identity aligns with their biological sex.

    Musk taking away their word games. I Like it.

  2. I thought cis was another one of their stupid made up genders. I’ve been screaming from the rooftops for years that they were erasing white men, now they’re erasing women of all races, they can’t even call us women or mothers anymore, we’re birthing people.
    Screw them, I only recognize men and women, fathers and mothers. A man can’t be a mother and woman can’t be a father and kids don’t have two mothers or two fathers.

  3. @jason, I disagree.

    CIS is labeling normal people as something abnormal – that’s why they came up with it. The point is that they want to be considered normal – as if that would ever occur…

    F them and their lack of reasoning ability.

  4. fullmetal,
    I get it. But Musk is championing himself as a free speech guy and this decision isn’t consistent with that. Plus he should just let them say what they want. If we have the same opportunity, then we will win the argument, for sure, and they will expose their stupidity.

  5. I don’t know. free speech is free speech. But I have to say I looked high and low on what cis actually means and no one defines it. I know what it refers to, but how did the lunatics arrive at cis? It is not an abbreviation. Not an acronym. they make shit up as they go along
