He’s made “cisgender” a banned word, c’mon
- davidmurdoch 2y agoI don't think he did. I just tweeted with the word and it's getting views and some engagement
- xdennis 2y agoIf you ban slurs against minorities you should ban slurs against majorities. And, yes, c**ender is a slur. It's only ever used by its opponents and in a negative context.

And who are "its opponents"? The opponents of being cisgender? Are you trying to suggest that trans people are against the existence of cis people? Have you considered spending less time on Twitter?
- davidmurdoch 2y agoIt's used as an insult it to make fun of people over on TikTok sometimes. It's typically just harmless in-group banter not directly aimed at someone, but it occasionally leaks over to "the other side" and people get mad.
- troupo 2y agoJust because you randomly use as aster*sks doesn't make the world a slur. No, it's not used only in negative contexts.
- davidmurdoch 2y agoupdate: my tweets using "cis" and "cisgender" both got slightly more views and engagement than my usual posts.
