Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions.

OK this is a new one on me...

I had to look it up.

CIS or CISGENDER basically means NORMAL (?)

Cisgender

denoting or relating to a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex registered for them at birth; not transgender.

It appears trans folk use it in a disparaging way. Musk is saying he won't allow it on Twitter.

Interesting.

Transgenders copied the terminology from organic chemistry as a way of making their propaganda sound “scientific.”

Its origin comes from a sexologist who used the latin term for “this side” to means heterosexuality. He then used trans to mean, “other side”

The transgenders have been trying to get the word to mean intolerant for those who oppose transgenderism.

But it imitated the terminology in organic chemistry.

Not hard to see why Trump didn’t go back.

If Tucker uses the dreaded “cis” terms, will Elon suddenly give him the Faux News treatment?

The whole thing a bit surprising to me.

BTW - I don’t miss seeing trannys over here. The men are men, the women are women. My wife went into a salon to condition her hair, and most of the employees were young boys looking to meet young girls…

American leftism is funded by China and, before that, the Soviet Union. It’s a cheap way to defeat a country without having to fire a shot.

Don’t worry, I know geopolitics is bigger than you or I and I don’t hold it against you for wanting to live in rural China.

They use it as an insult or a way to undermine the credibility of anyone speaking against the trans agenda particularly as it relates to children. If you accept your biology they'll attack you as cis and incapable of rendering a viewpoint and if you're a detransitioner they just attack you as anti-LGBTQQIA2S+ and a 'phobe'

I also noticed 'cissy' on Twitter

Reverse hate is hate. A person is NOT a color, a sex, or a gender. Each person is wonderful and amazingly complex. Indeed, each person is a miracle. We should embrace life from within the womb until natural death. We should respect privacy and this is a two-way street, no shoving your stuff into other people’s face. Live and let live and, more so, prosper and let prosper. Every American and hopefully one day every person in the world, should have equal rights and all the opportunity they can handle.

Latin words and prefixes are used in many disciplines. This is true of cis.

Are you familiar with the country of Cisleithania?

If “tranny” is considered a slur- cis should certainly be considered the same.

Good on Musk (again)

Whew. It's not just me. Speaking of the term, some food for thought at this link from 2022...

'Cis' Coined by “Pedosexual” Apologist Volkmar Sigusch blamed feminists and "taboo" for child sex abuse
