Twitter’s CEO Elon Musk has said the use of the words “cis” and “cisgender” on twitter will be considered insults and that ‘repeated, targeted’ use of those words could be subject to suspensions.

“Repeated, targeted harassments against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspension.” Must on on his twitter

The former CEO was responding to a tweet by James Esses, “advocate on gender ideology” who repeatedly expressed views that widely would be considered anti-trans.

In his tweet, the self-describe ‘advocate on gender ideology Esses, said he received” a slew messages from trans activists” that were critical of a previous post, in which he rejected the term “cis” and he said he n longer wants to be described that way.

Cisgender

Cisgender is used to refer to people who are not transgender or gender-fluid . Merriam Webstar defines the word as “of relating to, or being a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth.”

Elon Musk said that Cisgender would now be considered a slur on the platform , this comes after a series of change to policies at Twitter that some say make trans people fell less safe on the platform.

In April, Twitter issued a policy that banned “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.”

In a tweet, during the first day of Pride month musk said misgendering was ‘defiantly allowed” on the platform.

In a report done, it declared social media companies were failing to keep LGBTQ  people safe on their platforms with all the major platforms receiving low grades. The only platform to acknowledge its rating decline was Twitter, while the other platforms saw their scores increase.
