Can be, sure. Like when Maki posts his meme mocking someone as "cis". A lot of things can be insults.

Sometimes, it's not about the word, but how it's said. Like Faether here. They use the word Cis/het most of the time with utter contempt. Same with Transphobe. You see, To Faether, Transphobe isn't so much a description of someone, but a means to attack them and label them as evil and bigoted.

I've seen many many LGBT allies say: "You're just cis/het/white scum, your opinion doesn't matter."

I will. Musk is censoring a lot more content than the old owners. Because he has business interests in India and Turkey, he didn't stand up to their block demands in the way Dorsey did.

If anything the "Twitter files" showed that internally executives actually went to great lengths to debate whether or not someone like Trump should or should not be banned. Whereas Musk simply seems to act on a whim of "ha ha - owned".

TBF


Not even on the side of either side of this

but the whole CIS thing did seem weird. it was always used as a Gatcha word.. "ooh your opinion dont count because you are cis" kinda shit


lost all its meaning when it got over used as an insult



But either way elon is being a moron for someone who wanted twitter to be open and people could say anything he sure is taking a side still

Antifascism is just a name. Antifa are not anti fascist. They are fascists against the right.

And you're so far left of course you'd view anyone identifying as a centrist as being far right.

Zicky has yet to actually support a single leftist viewpoint in the entirety of P&L my dude. But he sure does defend those conservative ones.

Also, lol, lmao even at the comment about antifa.

cisgender is literally just saying you are your gender assigned at birth. Its not an insult its a fact. Just like someone who is not their assigned gender at birth is transgender. Its like saying heterosexual is a slur

You goofball fascism is the right. It's about as right as it gets.
Zicky doesn't do shit but diss the left, buddy. He wants to look like a centrist because then he can pretend he's not as bad as he thinks

A fish spending his whole life in the water has no ability to actually see the water that surrounds them :)

I find it amusing how often the left accuses the right of being pedos when the person who coined the term "Cissexual" was a pedophile
Madgod [1733719]
And if the word trans was routinely used in a pejorative context, we'd see the same thing happening. This is the same history as the N word. Originally, it wasn't a slur, until slave owners started using it in a pejorative manner.

People being made fun of for denying they are cisgender =/= making fun of people for being cisgender. Nobody is being made fun of for being cisgendered. They're being made fun of for being idiots who's stances on this are all centered in transphobia.
