I know there are people reading this who work for major companies still advertising on Twitter (Apple, Google, and Amazon at least), so: two days before the SF Trans March, Elon is making it even more explicit that Twitter is a transphobic platform. You have the ability to influence the behaviour of your employers. Maybe do that?

If someone else struggles with what forbidding “cis” means I found that “cis” means “on this side” and is used instead of “trans” which means across to refer to non-transgender people.

Using terms such as man or woman reinforces cisnormativity, and that instead using the prefix cis similarly to the way trans is used would counteract the cisnormative connotations within language.

That’s why forbidding the use of “cis” is a blow at the trans community.
