Agreed, but if Elon wants free speech he should allow the use of those slurs. Not that I think that wouldnt be chaotic, but Elon is being hypocritical here
your memory does not serve you correctly. Cis is a descriptor, it just means someone whose body and gender identity match. that’s like saying straight is a slur.
Agreed. I’ve no idea what u/vegantomato@lemmy.world is talking about. I’m pretty sure I’ve personally never seen it used as a slur. What I’ve seen is people not knowing what it means and assuming it’s one of them there evil genders, so maybe some people think it’s meant as a slur, but imo that says more about their ignorance than the word itself.
