Elon Musk Declares 'Cis' And 'Cisgender' Slurs After Retaliation Towards The Ultra-Right

Twitter’s executive chair Elon Musk said late Tuesday the words “cisgender” and “cis” are considered “slurs” under the social media platform’s content policy, the latest policy change implemented by the billionaire who has previously made controversial remarks on gender identity. Musk has made multiple controversial remarks on gender identity issues and even promoted transphobic content since buying Twitter last year. In April, Twitter altered the slurs section of its hateful content policy page to remove a line that prohibited “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.” In the tweet announcing the policy change, Musk wrote, "Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions. The words “cis” or “cisgender” are considered slurs on this platform." Musk’s comment was in response to a user’s tweet claiming they were harassed after tweeting they reject the word “cis” and don’t wish to be referred to as such. #Queer Up Business
