I have never heard cis being used as a slur.
Where does this come from?
Probably X-Men judging by the use of the term mutant.
thanks!
I actually have. Mind I don't have a problem with the word in particular but I've read it used as a slur on the Internet and in real life.
It's all about intention imo. Many people use it just to clearly communicate but some also use it with hatred.
Lol sure bud, def not a weird concocted scenario
It is not. There are many queer people that were wronged by society. It is understandable why they would have hatred in their hearts.
But I guess I'm just a liar on the Internet. Have a nice one.
The only time I've seen it as an insult was on Tumblr. And then the phrase, "cisgender shitlord," was eventually added to the meme pile, too
We usually call ‘em clankers.
Some people are just looking for something to be upset about.
Maybe it's just factually inaccurate and he doesn't want there to be anyone mistaking him as cissexual.
It's impossible to use it as a slur, as cis people are not oppressed.
A slur is any word that is used to insult someone based on their immutable characteristics (race, gender, sexuality, religion, ableness, etc.). There is NO requirement of oppression.
Extremely shallow analysis, certain words have a much different history than others and theres a lot of bad faith implications going on herea
Would you say cracker and the nword are on the same level?
Interesting abuse of the relative privation fallacy
E: oh, it's a burner account.
"Plus power" is not how cooquial definitions work. Speak colloquial if you want go talk to normies
Jeez, could you be more of a blatant troll?
That sounds sensible on first thought...but it's easy to find slurs that are for non-oppressed people's.
The French, for example.
It’s not sensible in any way, you can have slurs for anyone.
Someone not being oppressed doesn’t make them suddenly incapable of being oppressed or held down.
Any word said with enough hatred is a slur
Of course that being said I've never ever heard cis used like that either
Ok yankee.
