I take pride in Elon Musk thinking my existence is a slur.
Highly recommend checking the full article too, it’s fantastic!

Oh my god that’s amazing thank you
It’s a good thing free speech is legal on Twitter, huh, Elon?
Big words coming from the wing nut who fucked over his “platform”.
It’s fair to consider them as slurs. If my memory serves me correctly, they are almost always used with a negative connotation or in a context describing “cis-people” as doing something bad. Elon is merely stating the obvious.
Idk, in relevant situations I have no problem calling myself cis. Just because a very small number of people are broadly hostile towards cis people doesn’t make the word a slur. Cissy perhaps, but I still say meh to that because I just can’t be bothered to be offended by it.
Agreed, but if Elon wants free speech he should allow the use of those slurs. Not that I think that wouldnt be chaotic, but Elon is being hypocritical here
your memory does not serve you correctly. Cis is a descriptor, it just means someone whose body and gender identity match. that’s like saying straight is a slur.
Interesting, I’ve only ever seen it mean “not trans”
Agreed. I’ve no idea what u/[email protected] is talking about. I’m pretty sure I’ve personally never seen it used as a slur. What I’ve seen is people not knowing what it means and assuming it’s one of them there evil genders, so maybe some people think it’s meant as a slur, but imo that says more about their ignorance than the word itself.
May as well call white a slur because, if my memory serves me correctly, people who aren’t white almost always use it with a negative connotation describing “white-people” as doing something bad.

cissy
sweet, now I have a slur for my dad when he calls me a faggot
I will never understand how the word cis or cisgender is a slur. If your a cisgender then you are literally a cisgender. I am a cisgender male, plane and simple

They consider themselves the “default” aka the only ones who are not “the others” and thus not wrong about everything up to and including existing.
They are also snowflakes who can’t cope with their bigoted worldview being questioned in any way without playing the innocent martyr, so anything that implies that their perspective isn’t the only legitimate one is considered viciously evil.
I would be very interested in a plot graph mapping out the number of instances of transphobic rhetoric coming from Elon from before and after Grimes left him for Chelsea Manning.
IIRC he actually did twat some vaguely transphobic things soon after that.
Or his trans daughter changing her last name and basically telling him to go to hell.
That’s great grandma, now let’s get you to the bottom of the ocean. (sadly not original content)
Elon is a fuck nugget.
congrats elon on coming out 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈
Damn cisgenders, cissing around this damn thread. One tried to cis me out of my gender.
It’s okay for me to call myself cisgender, because I’ve reclaimed the slur <s>
This dude is a real fuckin tool.
He never claimed to be an absolutist. He never planned in allowing things like vioent threats, for example.
And he’s right about those terms - they are used as slurs to shut down discussion. It’s a quick and easy way to belittle someone and trivialize their argument.
blue check is a slur 😤
Here he is making that exact claim in 2022 before deleting it once it became inconvenient
No.
Anyway, how do I report a comment?
The only people who think cis is a slur are the ones who use trans as a slur.
They think any descriptor but “normal” is a slur because anyone who isn’t cis, hetero, and white is seen as lesser by them.
