X now considers the term “cisgender” a slur. On Tuesday, the platform reportedly began posting an official warning that the LGBTQ-inclusive terms could result in a ban from the platform.
Thats absolutely true. I’m just saying that I get why some people dont like the term, I think that it sounds like an insult.
Being told I’m “Hetero-normative” doesnt feel negative, homogender sounds fine, I’ve hear the term “Gender-solid” thrown around (admittedly by right wing asshats) and that sounds fine too. Its just something about the way the word sounds that makes me feel like “Yeah, I dont like that”
It sounds like your reasoning is similar to how a lot of people feel about the word ‘moist’.
I wouldn’t be happy if the descriptor for me was viscerally hurtful to myself.
I think the big difference is the world we live in. Lgbtq+ are being targeted by rightwing fucks all over the world. Talking about how you don’t like the word sounds a lot like ‘Im just asking what a woman is’. It’s not exactly transphobic, but those phrases are often used by people trying to legitimize their hate. For example, take a look at JKRs change in rhetoric.
