Elon Musk has determined “cis” and “cisgender” to be slurs that violate Twitter’s harassment policies. As such, any account engaging in harassment of users via the usage of “cis” or “cisgender” will be subject to a temporary suspension.
Musk said temporary suspensions will be the minimum penalty, leaving the door open for greater punitive measures.
The responses to Musk’s stance on the “cis” and “cisgender” labels have been mixed.
