Elon Musk’s promise to treat ‘cis’ as a slur will provoke more extremism
MSNBC ^ | June 22, 2023 | By Noor Noman

Posted on 06/23/2023 6:10:45 AM PDT by artichokegrower

On Wednesday, anti-trans darlings Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling posted deeply troubled and misinformed tweets in which they both argued the term “cisgender” is essentially an ideologically radical and unfounded term, which, well, hurts their feelings. Therefore, according to Rowling, she shouldn’t have to use it, and Musk decreed the word would be categorized as a “slur” by Twitter and that Twitter users who use it will be penalized.

But biology, I argue, is almost beside the point.


Biology is the point. Check the chromosomes. You are either a dude or a lady. Don’t call me cis and I won’t punch you in the face

He is not making it a slur, it is a slur.

Literally by the liberal rules they try to impose on the average citizen, the person gets to decide on whether something offends them and then condemn the person who used the word.

I find cis VERY offensive, ergo it is a slur. But beyond that the usage is indeed a slur, every time I hear a letter person use cis it is in the context of a pejorative, belittling the person referenced.

It’s not a slur, it just means normal. The way nature made you as opposed to unnatural and artificial.

They invented the word “cis” so they wouldn’t have to say “normal.”

But it is the language perversion — using it or accepting it, shoves the whole Trans Gender, Pronoun crap right into the discourse.

Any culture that allows itself to be influenced by perverted queers rots quickly.

Yes but you can turn it around on them by calling them abnormal and deviant instead.

There's already a word for that, and you just used it - normal. People who invent terms like "cis" to imply that normality is on the same footing as various fetishes can go pound sand.

It is intended to be a slur by the pro-mutilation trans crowd. Compare it to “Let’s Go Brandon”. It is a coded slur.

A pervert doctor invented the word “gender” (as now used) in 1955.

The entire “science” comes from an unethical experiment where he mutilated and molested twin boys, who committed suicide upon adulthood due to his mad experiments. And yet the fraud is still cited with authority.

I’m not offended by the word ‘cisgender’, but I don’t use it and I immediately think anyone that uses it is a leftist, low-IQ, ignorant, amoral piece of chit. I don’t deal with those people.

” which, well, hurts their feelings. “

How rich- an extreme left wing writer at PMSNBC mocking other people for hurt feelings.

Calling someone a “cis-male” or a “cis-female” is on the same level as calling someone an “ultra-MAGA”. It is meaningless and avoids the reality, either you are, or you are not. Adding prefixes in no way alters the basic fact.

And both a “trans-female” and a “trans-male” are physical impossibilities, on a par with a clean turd. There is no such thing. There are only cross-dressing individuals engaging in a cosplay, or they are meaningless mutilated freaks reduced to the state of a neuter.

Terms can have the same denotive meaning but very different connotations. “Cis” in common usage conotes contempt.
