The final straw for me leaving the bird site was Musk declaring 'cis' to be a slur.
There are multiple things wrong with this, not the least of which is that it's transphobic bullshit; and it's also a great opportunity to throw a miniature linguistics lesson out there for anyone who needs it.
The word 'cis' is a Latin prefix. It means "on this side of [object]". It's used in descriptions of space, time, & a few other concepts.

@Impious_Jade Loved your thread. Tried your link but unfortunately it did not work. Had to navigate Perseus Tufts Edu website looking for "A Latin Dictionary" by Lewis and Short. Hopefully, this link works and it is not modified by CoSo and send you to "An Error Occurred" page: https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text
