Female-presenting nipplesPeople think ‘cis’ is a slur because that's how they think about and use ‘trans‘, as a slur.
chicating@FuchsiaShock *Anything* could be a slur if you say it with shit in your heart. I'd rather someone slug me than say I'm "special" now, but the word itself isn't rude by its nature.
@chicating Well yeah, you can pour an acidic tone on any word at all.
@FuchsiaShock One way or another, intention counts.
Or lack of intention, as with "thoughts and prayers" which I used to use on things from time to time, but I wouldn't now. Because it would feel that I wrote that I was pretending to care. You know?
