Elon Musk declared Wednesday morning that the words “cis” and “cisgender” will now be considered slurs on Twitter.
Musk made the announcement in response to Thoughtful Therapists Co-Founder James Esses’ Tuesday tweet saying he received backlash from transgender activists after he posted that he rejects “the word ‘cis.’” Musk clarified that “cis” and “cisgender” are “considered slurs on this platform,” but did not detail what the punishment would be for those who use the words.
Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions.

He then clarified that accounts who engage in “repeated, targeted harassment against any account” will be temporarily suspended, according to the tweet.
Cisgender is used to refer to a person “whose gender identity corresponds with the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth,” according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Cis is a shortened version of the term.
Musk experienced controversy regarding free speech matters after purchasing Twitter.
Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of The Daily Wire, alleged that Twitter canceled a deal to “premier” its documentary “What Is A Woman” for free because of instances of misgendering. The thread resulted in backlash from conservatives, and Musk later said the incident was a “mistake.”
Twitter did not respond to Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Our language has been stolen and then weaponized- to use against us– meaning us the normal people that simply call it like we see it..
And we are all done with it !!
The Left has been in complete control of a whole lot for many decades now and look at where we are!!
A border invasion, a homeless crisis, cities fallen, a mental health crisis, kids being mutilated for profit. Well over a 100,000 people dying a year from drugs..
Millions of abortions and schools designed to fail- so that all this continues..
Even Elon is done with the bullsh*tt.
Aleister Crowley, Alfred Kinsey, John Money – all were credited for their warped sense of insensibility and many have embraced and advanced their works as doctrine. The new purveyors of misery are Yuval Noah Harari and his merryband of nihilists, Bill Gates, Soros, Jr., and the cloaked eugenists plotting the destruction of mankind as we know it. We are in a spiritual battle and it will not end well for a great many who fail to grasp the reality of what is truly going on and who is behind it all.
Thank you Elon for shoving a large dose of their own medicine down the throats of anti-free speech moonbats. You are my favorite African immigrant.
I would not be surprised is Travistock is behind the scenes creating these words. Travistock is a woke public relations organization that molds public perception.
Who comes up with these idiotic new words anyway? Sounds like something out of Brave New World.
Same idea, wreck the meaning of language with jargon, until it’s all babble.
