Why does anyone care what Musky says?

If we ignore him and the media stops reporting about him, he’ll be starved of the attention he seeks.

@georgetakei I grew up in South Africa in the 80s/90s. I think it's useful to know the following very common slang at the time which may influence his aversion to 'cis'.

sies, "sis" – expression of disgust, disappointment, annoyance.

It was overused... and if it was frequently directed at you (bullies loved it), I can imagine it being a bit of a trigger... the South African accent can really spit it! 😷

@georgetakei Thanks. I learned “cis-“ in Organic Chemistry, and then get mixed up about what is “cis-“ to what, and with respect to what.

@georgetakei It’s hate mongering propaganda. Not much to do with right vs wrong and everything to do with amplifying the noise in the echo chamber.

@georgetakei Oh, I'm confident he will find a way to be more wrong.

@georgetakei Hes part of putins fifth column. His job is to spread propaganda and continue driving the wedge between the american people.

@georgetakei When Musk was born he skipped intelligence in the brain buffet line and took double serving of ego.

@georgetakei Reposting my silly take on Musk’s silly-but-pernicious claim from last time he made it

(explainer: C sharp is called “cis” in many European languages)

@georgetakei poor elon! The autism really is messing with his cis-brain.

@georgetakei
Dude doesn't want to be called cis cuz he finds the term insulting, probably cuz it sounds like "sister" or "sissy". How hard is it to understand that you can't re-approprate a term like 'cis' for your own agenda and expect everyone to accept it?

Trans activists are gonna lose on this language arugment.

@georgetakei You say that, but he's pretty determined to find a way.

@georgetakei it's going to feel dirty, sorry, but pop into his mind for a moment. Now you're someone that's comfortable associating with nazis and bigots. Can you imagine tagging an out group without it being intended as a slur? Either can they.

is he EVER right with anything? :thaenkin:

@georgetakei The only people who think cis is a slur are those who use trans as a slur.

@georgetakei Living proof of the maxim, attributed to Lincoln, that "it is better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
