X now considers the term “cisgender” a slur. On Tuesday, the platform reportedly began posting an official warning that the LGBTQ-inclusive terms could result in a ban from the platform.
Yeah, if someone from a marginalised group says “Hey, I dont like that word” I dont ask why, I dont demand an explanation. I just dont use it.
But if I say “I dont like that word” I dont get the same consideration, I dont even get a polite “well thats dumb but whatever, ok” I get argued with and told my feelings are wrong.

Because the word is “cisgender” and there’s no world where its a slur.
You just don’t like how it sounds. It doesn’t marginalize or harm you in any way.
When you act pissy that you don’t get to play at being a marginalized group, you should expect to be told off.
