Elon Musk once again finds himself championing free speech and opposing what he refers to as the "woke mind virus." His latest endeavor involves supporting a man who voiced his objections to being targeted with the term "cis" on Twitter. This individual, known as Esses, shared his experiences of receiving a barrage of messages from trans activists using derogatory terms like "cissy" and "cis," regardless of his preference. In response, Musk acknowledged the general rule concerning harassment on the platform but also made a statement that has caused quite a stir among liberals. Esses expressed gratitude to Musk for upholding reality.
Elon Musk Steps in the Way of the Woke With His Stand on 'Cis' https://t.co/RyTSpBIIBc

The usage of "cis" as a descriptor for individuals who identify with the gender assigned to them at birth serves as yet another instance of the left's ongoing effort to manipulate language. However, Elon Musk refuses to acquiesce. He recognizes the dangerous influence of the woke mind virus, which he believes is driving society towards its own demise and demands opposition. Musk's defense of reality and resistance against the Orwellian revisionism of left-leaning language is justified.
Yesterday, after posting a Tweet saying that I reject the word ‘cis’ and don’t wish to be called it, I receive a slew of messages from trans activists calling me “cissy” and telling me that I am ‘cis’ “whether or not I like it”.
Just imagine if the roles were reversed.

Repeated, targeted harassment against any account will cause the harassing accounts to receive, at minimum, temporary suspensions.
The words “cis” or “cisgender” are considered slurs on this platform.

As @elonmusk elevates and privileges the latest right wing victimization fantasy, it's worth recalling that he has not just tolerated, but has *enthusiastically endorsed,* some of the most vile anti-trans hate speech on this platform. https://t.co/u6CjdcXdLb

It’s true. We had a poll on this.

People overwhelmingly reject this obvious slur that bigots are trying to impose

Very strange, isn't it?

What's notable is that a majority of people seem to agree with Musk's stance. According to a poll, over 78 percent of respondents concurred that "cis" functions as a derogatory term. Even J.K. Rowling weighed in, referring to it as "ideological language." Interestingly, this mindset has not permeated much of the world, highlighting its newness and uniquely American left-oriented nature.
However, this issue extends beyond a mere word; it signifies a fundamental restructuring of language, discarding established norms to establish a new order that disrupts even the fundamental concepts of gender. If there is no order or reality, individuals become more susceptible to accepting any narrative presented to them. Right becomes wrong, bad becomes good, and the definition of woman becomes indeterminate. In this cultural battle, Musk has made his position abundantly clear, providing a breath of fresh air in these politically correct times by staunchly defending reality and free speech.
