⚤'The words "cis" and "cisgender" are considered SLURS on this platform!' ⚤

I post on a phone so for your future information every screenshot that I post has been a screenshot that I have taken.

I have never once shared a screenshot.

 

Then take up your problem with the left. Why does that matter? You are just trying to defend one snowflake argument by going after other snowflake arguments. Yes. Those conservatives who think that "cisgender" is a slur" and get butthurt about it are ALSO snowflakes and they are ALSO melting.

 

Because we aren't a minority experiencing discrimination? Just guessing.

Honestly, this grievance culture we're in must stop. There are important things to feel angry about. This isn't one of them.

 

Yardmeat no longer owns this statement that he made. As soon as he hits the "post reply" button it became the property of the forum owners. That's what Yardmeat agreed to.

Same thing on Twitter.

 

I've always owned this statement. Please try reading before making blatant misrepresentations. If you require further education, let me know. This isn't actually a difficult concept.

 

LOL!

How about minimalism as justification? One syllable as opposed to five or six ... much easier to type.

 

Remember when musk pretended to be about free speech? That didn’t last long

 

Lol you can be gay and cis, has nothing to do with sexuality

 

You did not read your forum terms of service.

You are the author of that statement, but it is the property of PoliticalForum. Same as my statements here becomes the forum's property. What, you thought you found a free place to hang out? I got news for you - the poster's posts here are the product sold here, along other information about forum members.

Did you not wonder why there are no advertisements on this forum?

 

So you think he should just let people use whatever slurs they want?

 

That's not a decision

That is not a decision made by the other patrons, but by the owner/barkeep.

The idea that Elon Musk is the equivalent of Miss Manners or Emily Post on polite speech is laughable on its face. I really don't think he is a representative sample. Certainly more than one person should be in the poll.

 

So the special alphabet people thought they needed a special word to describe people who identify as a man or a woman because they have either a penis or a vagina.

 

Cis isn’t a slur anymore than hetero is

 

Hey libs, your own rules are coming back to bite you in the Kamala. See the last sentence I quoted, mean words are an act of hate in California. The next time someone calls me an ist or phobe, I'm calling Newsom.

 

According to this information I googled today it is. And yes it's a screenshot I took in case anyone's wondering.

 

It’s still not a slur

 

Musk owns Twitter, it is his tavern.

 

The fuss is understandable to people who want their words to retain their original definitions, who believe in sex, biology, science and so on. Normal has a specific meaning.

normal - the usual, average, or typical state or condition.

These folks who want to demand cis not just as a slur but as a compelled word choice do not want you to believe there is a typical state or condition. They want confusion on that point and the desire for confusion is intentional.

Losing a staggering fortune, perhaps you haven't followed the financial news but he is back to being the richest man in the world.

What you shouldn't be sarcastic about is the intention use of language like cis to remove prior understood terms and additionally using them to remove and limit thought. Clearly there is a contingent of people who wish to remove the actual concept of biological sex and replace it with gender. Transgender literally used to be called transexual. To declare that theses desires won't erase homosexual and lesbian people is just an outright lie.

You probably have a lot of normal attributes like ten fingers, ten toes, two eyes, one butthold and so on.

Cis people can't be gay because the concept of cis seeks to remove the concept of sex. This is why they keep removing women by calling them birthing persons, chest feeders, people with a uterus and so on. Additionally they've tried to take sexual preference and make it a gender preference in additional to attempting conversion type demands that people who are lesbian and homosexual stop caring about the genitals a person might have when it is part of their sexual preference.

These are people who intentionally are trying to exploit both sex and gender for power.

Terrible reasoning. By your reasoning saying you don't allow use of the n-work means racial concerns can never be discussed. It's stupid reasoning at face value.

 

Most gay people don’t have gender concerns.

But you responded;

Since most gay people are CIS. Your reply would leave one to believe gay is normal to you, or you’re claiming somethings as a slur when you don’t even know what it means!

 

Language changes and adapts to match the culture. People who resist the cultural changes will obviously resist the language as well.

It's silly to blame the language for the cultural change. Sure it's all part of the same process, but the language isn't driving the culture, the culture is driving the language.

The culture is changing. That isn't something that is going to stop, that fight already ended, you are only just now noticing.

It's like turning a ship, all you can do is stop the momentum, but getting to stop or going the other direction takes time, and that isn't happening in a single generation.

 

Obviously to some people it is. Your name is not Miriam Webster and you don't get to define what words mean or what they don't. Look what Urban dictionary says.

I see nothing in the TOS that says that the words that I write here are their property. They can control how it appears, or if it appears at all, ON THE FORUM, but I see nothing in the TOS that says they have copywrite of what I have said here. If that is indeed in the TOS, then yes, that is their right. And I've defended private property rights against right wingers for years.

 

Just about everyone us a minority in some fashion. I’m a minority where I live and I’m not complaining, neither are the other various minorities.

 

This forum is literally full of your complaints, my friend. You need to read your own posts.

 

This is true. Infact, we are all minorities in some fashion.

This made me think of this video. It's really good, but i know people aren't going to invest 17 minutes. The Jewish man who fled the holocaust, explains that we are all minorities, so protecting minorities is in all of our best interests.
