X now treats the term cisgender as a slur - Lemmy.World

Does it also treat tranny as a slur if so then I guess thatโ€™s just equality.
The respective term is trans-gender not "tranny", which is an actual slur now only used by bigots and transphobe porn addicts . In Latin 'cis' is to 'trans' the opposite proposition (not pronoun in case some idiot republican bigot misses the nuance here). It is an established term in medical and psychological journals, which as with transgender and non-binary people organizations are conveniently left out of this TERF and nazi fueled culture war we are witnessing. https://www.apa.org/practice/guidelines/transgender.pdf https://www.apa.org/monitor/2018/09/ce-corner-glossary https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/gender-dysphoria https://www.who.int/health-topics/gender
Further, โ€œcissyโ€ is the inverse of that slur.
Not even that, since itโ€™s not loaded with violence to the gills the way the other is.
All slurs are not equal. A slur against a privileged group wonโ€™t have nearly the power that one against a disenfranchised one does. Thatโ€™s why I find โ€œhonkeyโ€ or โ€œcrackerโ€ funny rather than threatening.
Yeah I know, thatโ€™s what I said
And I was clarifying that I agreed with you.
