Elon Musk Takes a Stand Against ‘Cis’ and ‘Cisgender’ Slurs
Twitter owner Elon Musk has made a bold move to protect the dignity and safety of millions of Twitter users who identify with their biological sex and gender. On Wednesday, he announced that the terms “cis” and “cisgender” will be considered slurs on the platform and that repeated, targeted harassment using these terms will result in temporary suspensions.
Musk’s decision came after a viral tweet by James Esses, a cultural commentator who rejects gender ideology and does not wish to be called “cis”. Esses shared how he received a slew of messages from trans activists calling him “cissy” and telling him that he is “cis” whether or not he likes it. He asked his followers to imagine if the roles were reversed.
Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions.
The words “cis” or “cisgender” are considered slurs on this platform.

Musk responded to Esses by saying that he stands up for reality and that people overwhelmingly reject this obvious slur that bigots are trying to impose. He also pointed out that the word “cisgender” was coined by a German s-xologist who had disturbing views on ped0philia and other related despicable ideas. He urged his followers to ignore him and his contemptible term.
Yup, the contemptible creep that manufactured the term “cis” has serious problems. Ignore him.

Musk’s announcement was met with praise and gratitude by many Twitter users who felt validated and respected by his stance. They thanked him for defending their rights and freedoms against the tyranny of gender ideology. They also expressed their admiration for his courage and leadership in challenging the mainstream narrative.
Musk has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration’s policies on LGBTQ issues, such as allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports and forcing taxpayers to fund gender reassignment surgeries. He has also rebuked Biden for claiming that LGBTQ kids are “all our kids”, saying that they are not his kids.
Musk’s declaration is a welcome sign of hope for those who value truth, science, and common sense over ideology, propaganda, and coercion. He has shown that he is not afraid to speak out against the radical agenda that seeks to erase biological reality and impose a new language on everyone. He has also shown that he cares about the well-being and safety of his Twitter users who do not want to be labeled or harassed by terms they do not accept.
