We call him that sarcastically but idiots see it and think “he really is!” Free speech silencer should come up whenever someone searches for Elon Musk.

So genders are a slur now? Guess it’s they/them for everyone. Can’t be racist if you’re neutrally wrong.

We could also just change the terms. Transgender becomes heterogender, and cisgender becomes homogender. Bit of a mouthful but since homo and hetero are in the common vernacular, it’s bound to erase all confusion that cis- and trans- comes with.

Actually I unironically think this is right. Sexuality is a spectrum right? Then stop adding more and more stupid labels that just divide people and are wrong half the time anyway.

Good call, that’s why I refuse to learn people’s names. It’s just a stupid label I might get wrong sometimes and divides people, so why would I bother learning someone’s name?

(I’m being sarcastic, labels and pronouns are not this complex, just call people what they ask to be called)

Gender isn’t sexuality.

The prefixes cis- and trans- are rooted in Latin, and is commonly used in chemistry to describe the geometry of a molecule. The terms mean “this side of” and “opposite side of” respectively. It’s the same trans you see in “transatlantic”, as in “far side of the atlantic ocean”, and indeed the word “cisatlantic” is also in the dictionary.

So that’s precisely what trans-and-cisgender means. A cisgender person is someone who identifies “on the same side” of the gender they were assigned at birth, ergo they identify as their birthgender.

They’re not terms you need to identify with or use. They’re simply terms used to make a clear distinction in conversation where such a distinction is necessary.

I’ve thought about changing my pronouns to they/them for the same reason

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
