Do people consider it hurtful, or was it coopted as a slur by people like Musk who just want to erase trans people?

- mrweasel 2y agoPersonally I mostly see it used in anger, so I wouldn't use it, unless doing a biology report. It also has the weird problem that you mostly see it in a "do you identify as cis", which I at least don't... I am cis, but that's not question. This leads to some really weird situation where you have teams of larger middle age straight, and cis, men, but you have one or two that answer that they don't identify as such. This is very much off topic, but I'd personally I'd prefer that we just stop labeling people. Just use their name, it's fine, you don't need to know or even understand the gender of the person who makes a repairable flatpack toaster. It's an cool project regardless of who made it.
- janto 2y agoI 90% agree with you, except that there is nothing technically correct about the word cis.

- Dylan16807 2y agoAlmost all of the situations involving treatments on minors that are being backlashed against are themselves lies.
- Shared404 2y agoThere is currently a bill in the Texas house to ban transition for people of all ages. Also, minors would receive hormone blockers - which are reversible and safe. ...and also still prescribed for cases such as precocious puberty.
- account42 2y ago> which are reversible and safe Absolutely not true.
