About fecking time. Now make "sex" a category that can be subject to harassment

That's how I saw it - that they were saying the community of women shouldn't just include those born women and that sisterhood should include men who identify as women.

An example of why 'cis' is harmful:

One of the privileges cis women hold is the ability to get away with molesting children. They're frequently cheered on for it. Most cis women find this privilege repellent but a few like Greer and most gender critics do not.

'Cis' women e.g. women are 'privileged' and even 'cheered on' for molesting children.

This is where cis becomes hateful speech, and females are positioned as a reviled subgroup of women.

What on earth are they on about notterf? Women molesting children is a) incredibly rare, orders of magnitude rarer than men doing it, and b) headline news and roundly condemned when it happens.

They really do project more than your average multiplex.

It's because of this book Germaine Greer published in 2003:

Hardly implicating any women in abusing children.

I don't want slurs banned. Who determines what is a slur depends on who is in power. It's okay to call out, "hey! I hate that word. You're using a slur against me." But banning? No.

Musk isn’t saying anyone using “cis” will be banned, just that if someone continue to use it when asked by someone else not to call them cis, they could be suspended or ultimately banned.

That's good.
