Elon Musk Declares 'Cisgender' a Slur, Threatens Bans for Repeated Use on Twitter

Elon Musk announced terms like "cisgender" and "cis" are now considered slurs on Twitter and their repeated use could result in temporary account suspensions.
Musk made the announcement in response to posts from users who objected to the terms and faced backlash and harassment.
Musk criticized the origin of "cisgender" and said users can identify however they choose.
Musk's decision limits speech for groups already facing threats of real harm and continues his pattern of dismantling policies protecting transgender users.
The researcher who coined "cisgender" believes banning its use is a cowardly attempt to censor an idea bigger than Musk.
