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?
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.
