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.

    Just saying that if the LGBTQI+ community doesnt like a word, it very quickly becomes unacceptable to use. But if I dont like a word I get told to suck it up because thats what I am…

    “When a marginalized group doesn’t like being called something deliberately hurtful, it becomes unacceptable. But how come no one cares that I don’t like how a word sounds phonetically?? That’s the same!!”

        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.
