Regular reminder that #Cisgender is a #psychology term for someone whose #gender matches their birth sex, and is not a slur.
#CisIsNotASlur
@mira looks like misinformation #CisIsNotASlur
Periodic reminder: cis is not a slur. It just means "not trans".
You'd think transphobes would want us all to have an easy way to say that, because the alternative of saying "not trans" kinda makes transness sound like the default, doesn't it? 🤔
I think #X's policy on the word "#cisgender" is a new level of escalation. It's dangerous.
It feeds directly into the #conspiracy theory of trans activists being a dangerous mob coming to get you. This is not true. Transphobes WANT you to feel afraid. Don't let them #manipulate into hate.
The trans activists are right. Trans people deserve equality and recognition of their gender identity. And #CisIsNotASlur.
I'm a #cisgender man, and I call #BULLSHIT on #X's new OFFICIAL policy to treat the word "cisgender" as a #slur.
No, it's not a slur, and never was.
▶️ "cisgender" means "not #transgender".
THAT'S IT!
Elon Musk does NOT get to feel offended in MY name.
Boost if you agree. #CisIsNotASlur

Re I'm a #ciswoman. BUT...I have been called a #tomboy all my childhood and had to take oestrogen since the age of 12 because my puberty was going haywire and too masculine for a girl. I absolutely don't want children, nor a love life. So what? #CisIsNotASlur

There's nothing wrong with being #cisgender.
If you are #cis #gender, I am happy for you.
No one should call you out for being cisgender, as in, comfortable staying in the gender you were assigned at birth.
After all the controversy this week on Twitter, I'm reposting this piece I wrote back in 2019 because it's more relevant than ever.

It's kinda telling that the only people who think "Cis" or "Cisgender" is a slur and should be banned are the same people who think that actual racist and homophobic slurs should be protected free speech.
If I had a #Twitter account, I could get #BANNED for defending the use of the words #cis and #cisgender (which just means "not #transgender"). And I'm cis myself. 🤦
In other words #ElonMusk may have accidentally declared war on 99% of the population, including himself. 🤣
Elon Muck puts the "cis" in narcissist!

If cisgender was a slur, the right would be saying it all the time. #cisgenderisnotaslur #cisisnotaslur #translivesmatter
Wenn Dödeltwitter
"Mann" nicht von "männlich"
und
"Frau" nicht von "weiblich"
unterscheiden kann...💩🫣
Profile edit: added "Cisgendered male."
"Dad. Husband. Cisgendered male. Apple 2 computer enthusiast. SAS programmer. Data analyst. Scientist. LGBTQIA+ ally. BLM."
Maybe I should log back into Twitter long enough to update my profile to specify that I'm a cisgender male (and maybe add "cis male" for good measure). And then see what happens. I.e., see how long it takes them to boot me for using "a slur"... to describe *myself*.
