seemingly made a sweeping policy decision Tuesday by declaring that “cisgender” and its abbreviation “cis” are considered slurs on Twitter.
The controversy started when users mocked anti-transgender activist James Esses for not wanting to be called cisgender. He claimed in the tweet that he received messages calling him a “cissy” and telling him he is cis “whether he likes it or not.” The term cisgender is common in LGBTQ0centered discussions, and is used to refer to someone whose gender corresponds with their biological sex — or someone who is not transgender.“Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions,” he tweeted. “The words ‘cis’ or ‘cisgender’ are considered slurs on this platform.”
