    I don’t quite understand, if cis is a slur, what should we call people who have the same gender as their birth certificates? Is there an alternative name for it?

      The bigots probably want “normal” to be that word. Like, an “I’m normal and you’re not normal” sort of thing.

        Yeah, that’s the closest thing I can tell. They want either “normal” or just to reserve the term “woman” or “man” for cisgender people, and refuse to even acknowledge trans identities at all.

        I mean, the guy that Elon is quoting here, ostensibly “protecting” objects to the word cis because he objects to trans people’s existence in general.
