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)
But no, gender definitely can and does tie into sex.
but not always. women can present more or less masculinity, correct?
What? How is this even relevant?
because the word “woman” and other terms relating to being female are defined by society, not by biology. someone isn’t inherently masculine just because of their sex. getting upset over society labeling (men and women) with cis or trans when it’s important to make a distinction doesn’t make much sense.
And by that dinstinction being females being called females and trans females being called trans females
