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

Although I've never had reason to refer to myself or anyone else as either of those supposed slurs, I do know what it means. I thought it meant pretty much the same thing as being heterosexual..."straight", which is no more a slur than referring to someone as being homosexual, gay or transgender...to me.

@Piper "Cis" means you identify as the gender you were assigned at birth, as opposed to "trans" meaning you changed to the other gender. Heterosexual/homosexual are completely different. For example, it's possible for a trans woman (man to woman) to be attracted to either men or women.
@LeopoldBloom I think she means they’re the same as in they are all descriptions of groups of people not slurs at all. I think she understands that they describe very different things.

@LeopoldBloom Thanks, but I did and do know what it means.
@Piper light and love. 🦋

Thank you, @DarkHeaven. You're right, but I guess I didn't convey what I meant very well.
@Piper it’s so much harder with just words on line. Be safe and be well. 🌸
