Reports of a staggering drop in the value of the worst social media site in the world coincided with Elon Must Tweeting that “cis” is a slur. Coincidence?
A few years ago, my mother laughed at me for being impressed she knew what “cis” meant. She said she learned it from chemistry, something about molecules being flipped, where flipping it one way is cis and the other is trans. I was so prepared to have to talk her down from thinking it was a slur that it was a relief.
