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)

As a biological female, I don’t see anything wrong with the term cis. It’s just a term to separate cis and trans people when needed, it’s not that big of a deal and I don’t get why people are offended by it.
That is fine, but a lot of biological females want to be referred to as a female
just “female” tells me nothing about whether they are trans or not
Keep in mind that I’m not trying to argue here, if someone is offended by the term cis then I don’t care, you do you. But I personally have no problem with it.
