The most absurd thing is they know cisgender is an actual word. The "it's a slur" argument is total bad faith meant to end the discussion because it's making them uncomfortable.

The idea behind "cis is a slur" was to erase our language wholesale. If there is no "cis" there can be no "trans," only "normal" and "abnormal." The same shit happened back with gay rights, literally, "I'm not heterosexual, I'm normal!" "I'm not straight, I'm normal!" They lost then too.

If cis no longer exists, I guess that means everyone is trans by default? So in accepted Twitter lingo there are trans and non-trans. M'ok. So I guess we should refer to Elmo as a non-BIPOC, non-trans, non-gay man. Or just call him AMAB, maybe? 🤔

Finally, I, a not-trans, het white man, have a slur to call my own. I suggest we immediately reclaim this slur, start calling each other that a bunch. "What's up, my cisgender?" Make sure we call all the right wingers that, I'm sure they'd love the chance to reclaim the word too!

Jesus fucking Christ. I thought I was past being surprised at Elon just getting worse and worse and worse but I am. I am surprised. Unbelievable.
