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)

still both females?? again, why we need the distinction??
i do acknowledge they have differences, but they are still women
The distinction is key in conversations about it in context. Like I said, she thinks that biological females should get the “female” title as they are the majority, whilst the minority group should be “transgender females”
ahh shit you were talking about your mum my bad
Oh no you can still challenge that viewpoint, I’m just saying her perspective, as a biological female and identifies as one, on why she finds “cis” quite offensive as she wants to be identified as a female, not a “cis female”
tbh thats fair, both should equally be called “female” unless context calls for it
