    Nah, its not a slur until the kids on xbox live start using it

    But they won’t. Calling someone cis as an insult online doesnt have the same impact

        “screw you, you were camping and I should have won that, cheater [long rant of slurs]” “Yeah well I bet you’re a cisgender. Cis. I bet you’re cis” “…what?”

    In my country (Spain) there is an organization called “Centre for Sociological Research”, which in Spanish it’s called “Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas” (best known as CIS).

    So, is that name also a slur, according to the free speech absolutist? What about politicians and journalists who talk about its surveys?

      Elon is too busy being angry at trans people to see all this nuance you’re just throwing out there. You think he has time to consider what people are saying or that other people have thoughts and feelings?

    I would be very interested in a plot graph mapping out the number of instances of transphobic rhetoric coming from Elon from before and after Grimes left him for Chelsea Manning.

    I will never understand how the word cis or cisgender is a slur. If your a cisgender then you are literally a cisgender. I am a cisgender male, plane and simple

      They just don’t like being categorized, especially by what they consider “woke nonsense”. They think they should be the default and pointing out that they are actually a part of a subgroup (albeit a huge one) annoys them. They don’t have the self reflection to understand why, but it does.

      They consider themselves the “default” aka the only ones who are not “the others” and thus not wrong about everything up to and including existing.

      They are also snowflakes who can’t cope with their bigoted worldview being questioned in any way without playing the innocent martyr, so anything that implies that their perspective isn’t the only legitimate one is considered viciously evil.

        And also is completely accurate. Mainstream media, mainstream politicians and others who are members of the big club want you to think that only Eastern Europe and parts of Asia (not the parts they have lucrative business with) are mostly controlled by a few rich people.

        The reality is that the US has more than a third of the world’s billionaires in spite of having only 5% of the population and those billionaires and the rest of the. 1% ABSOLUTELY are oligarchs that control the country much more than any elected officials.

      Billionaire is already a slur.

      No one makes that much money without screwing over and abusing other people. There are no ethical billionaires.
