The transphobic agenda is intensifying. Elon Musk has made it clear that anyone using the scientifically accurate term cisgender is in violation.

Hey f*cker ain't seen you around much lately, how's it been? 馃檪 Good I hope?

It is weird though because any sort of label for anyone these days is considered offensive.

I mean my gyod even companies are now calling thieves "Dishonest customers" like the crooked b@stards deserve any sort of respect. Well that aside...

As far as "cis", it is mostly the transphobes who hate that word. They call trans "men" and "you are the gender you were born" or "groomer" or "tranny" but then they hear that ONE little word "cis" that is not and was not meant to be offensive and they get upset.

At one time "cis" was "genetic female" or "genetic male", I wonder if the transphobes would be upset by those terms.

@CestManan Yep. The people getting their panties in a bunch over "cis" are the same ones who get upset when they see someone's email that is signed "John Smith (he/him)." I was just at a large meeting for work and as a presenter, I was instructed to give my name, office, pronouns, and a brief description ("white male, six feet tall, bald, wearing a white shirt with a blue tie").

@LeopoldBloom I'll admit that sometimes things do seem a little excessive but some people really get bent out of shape.

@LeopoldBloom in your description what would have been funny is if you started double timing around the office and singing, I want to be an Airborne ranger.

@CestManan I was very tempted to say that my pronouns are he, her, and their.

@LeopoldBloom I just think sometimes there is way too much focus on things that affect only a small part of society. I am not against it as I am LGBT myself but it just seems like everything is blown out of proportion.

Or like when Trump made it illegal for trans to join the military. Were there like mobs of TG at the recruiter office trying to get signed up? 馃え

@CestManan I think they asked everyone to describe themselves for the benefit of one blind guy. Although, I'm sure if they'd asked him, he wouldn't have cared how the speakers were dressed.
