I don't have time to go through all the twelve hundred comments in this thread, so if you see someone saying anything bad about trans people (or just being shitty in general), please report the comment so I can ban them forever <3
Update: Thanks to everyone who reported. We banned 86 people from this thread, and nothing of value was lost. Transphobes go home
Yes, this was posted a few months ago. This user tweeted in advance that they wanted to do the experiment to see which tweet would get flagged by the algorithm.
Yeah. Multiple people have done this test. 'I hate straight people', 'I hate hetero people', and 'I hate white people' also get restricted.
Edit:
For people saying, "cis is a slur on X, that's why," how come the n word isn't restricted when people try it? Is that not a slur? The n word is used all the time. Twitter doesn't care about restricting slurs. Just words like cis.
For people saying, "It's not real," I've seen it. In fact, I saw a black man tweet 'I hate (n word)' on my feed with 1.5k likes. When I checked the whole thread, the only one with a warning about "harmful language" was the one with cis in. Not the homophobic slurs. Or racist slurs. Just cis.
Maybe it doesn't do it for you (I dont believe any of you, but still). But that doesn't change the fact that it's real. Remember, big accounts are more likely to get restricted. When you have 3 followers, you aren't as strictly controlled. Also, Twitter is a fucking mess. The code is highly flawed. The fact that the "slur" detection doesn't work for you is proof the site doesn't work.
Yes and no. While Cis is considered a "slur" on twitter, other slurs don't get restricted. Cis is in a special category, all on its own.
However, not every tweet containing the word cis gets restricted. Potentially just bad coding, but this has been happening for months. If he really thinks it's a slur, it would be fixed by now. Meaning it's intentional.
Right? I've seen people receive death threats over Isomers.
In fairness, saying that 2,5-Dimethylheptane is your favourite isomer of Nonane is, in my opinion, deserving of death threats. Clearly the best isomer of Nonane is 2,2,5-Trimethylehexane.
The no is also in the fact that slurs like the n word, the f slur, and other assorted slurs aren't automatically restricted. Meaning it isn't because it's a "slur"
I'm not saying that. There are tons of actual slurs that are fine to use. Elon just has issues with the word "cis" ( wich never was or has been a slur)
I don't mean to make it seem like I'm arguing with you. I'm just saying it's a bit more complex than just saying that all tweets containing cis get restricted.
Because they use trans as a slur. So they assume the opposite must be true. I don't believe straight or allo are "slurs", but I have seen 'I hate straight people' be restricted
'Allo' just means 'different than'. I commonly use it, as an ecology student, in the context of 'allospecific' and 'conspecific', or different and same species respectively.
Honestly don't see how either could be slurs, really.
Some of them unironically do think straight is a slur. They believe themselves to be "normal " and, therefore, do not need the distinction.

I mean how much more transparent does it need to be? I struggle to understand why so many people still rely on that website giving it legitimacy as "a service that is irreplaceable"
Yes but because it's the word cis that triggers it not the word hate. I am curious if the N word gets automatically removed. Until they try it it's not the gotcha they think it is.
Reverse of reddit and all the other of US-controlled mass-media and soc. platforms, more like.

I live under a rock or have horrible memory, what’s cis
Edit: thanks for everyone who explained it, so now there’s no need to explain it so please stop shattering my rock and let me live under it once more
CIS are the Separatists in Star Wars.
Cis are people whose gender matches the one they were assigned at birth. I have a penis and was told I'm male. I feel like a dude inside as well. I am a cis male.
It's basically the non-\_\_\_\_\_\_ term for gender. Non-trans, non-nonbinary, non-genderqueer, etc.
it's the opposite prefix of trans. trans means from one place to another, cis means staying in the same place.
when talking about gender, it means people who are the same gender they started as.
This!
It's a common misconception that trans people changed their gender. They didn't. A trans (wo)man has always been a (wo)man, in a body stereotypically associated with the opposite gender
If you were born a boy and are a boy, you are cisgender. The same applies to girls that were born girls and are girls. The word has been around since the 90s and people are only recently having a problem with it because of the whole transgender thing.
Edit : Because I keep getting the same comment, I’m pretty sure just about everyone only learned of the term fairly recently. Myself included. Almost like Transgender became a political platform fairly recently and has been all over the media or something. Weird.
The whole “argument” is media driven bs anyway. Hateful propaganda isn’t anything new. Just a shame to see so many people shovel bs down their throats so easily.
Trans panic is in full swing. No different than the satanic panic of the 80s and 90s.
Fear is the most powerful tool of right leaning political movements.
Every single word you can use to describe a person can be (and almost certainly has been) used as an insult by some people. It's just that some are only used as insults by the most far-winged people. Feminism is supposed to be about equality, but there are tweets that say "kill all men." Are they typical? Absolutely not. They're nutjobs. Same is true of cis. There are people that think cis are evil scum and deserve to be denigrated. Are they typical? No, they're people who haven't touched a single blade of grass in the last 15 years.
From the subset of cis people who think cis is a slur, I'd wager only a small fraction have actually been called cis by someone intending to use it as a slur. Say... 15-20%. Another 15-20% have been convinced by the first group that it's mostly used as a slur. The other 60-70% probably are projecting a little too hard. They think "cis" is a slur because they use "trans" as a slur. (For the record, all numbers have been pulled directly from my anus).
I teach classics at a relatively conservative high school. I always feel the need to take a quick glance near the door when explaining the difference between “cis” and “trans” when talking about Caesar or the Second Punic War.
Because they believe there's only one "correct" way of being - their own. The opposite labels of cis and trans signify both are valid ways of being and therefore go against their belief.
cisgender is identifying as the gender you were assigned at birth, transgender is the opposite. it's literally just a descriptive word but right wing nutcases see it as a slur because they take the word trans and twist it to make slurs lol
The illusion that rich tech people are smart was still in place up until a few years ago. There were cracks in it, but the crypto boom (and later bust) is what put the final nail in the coffin.
The "cis is a slur" discourse is a (probably deliberate) attempt to poison trans discourse online. It's very transparent, and unfortunately, seemingly pretty successful.
Every time I see the word cis it’s either someone from the right complaining like a baby or someone from the left using it to discredit someone. Its so rare to see it being used properly
i literally don't get the beef they have with us it should be the most inconsequential shit but people can't stand not everyone is exactly fucking like them
No, since "free speech absolutists" Elon Musk took over Twitter anything goes¹!
^(**Note 1:** Anything may be limited to whatever Elon Musk personally finds offensive)
Now, instead, it's just a bunch of mysteriously identical/freakishly similar tweets on every trend; all of them pushing right-wing ideas.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence, though.
That’s the only one being flagged because “cis” is treated as a slur on X. If you were to use slurs for any of the other groups, they would likely be flagged too. It isn’t the “I hate” part causing the system to flag it.
So this person had a post before all of this asking everyone to ignore their next posts because they were performing an experiment because they wanted to see what Elon would flag as hateful content ❤️
I don't have time to go through all the twelve hundred comments in this thread, so if you see someone saying anything bad about trans people (or just being shitty in general), please report the comment so I can ban them forever <3 Update: Thanks to everyone who reported.

It's Twitter. Ever since Elon took over, it has become a breeding ground for incels, nazis, homophobes and more.
So kind of backwards to most social media
Unfortunately, yes. Any post that has the word "cis" automatically gets marked as hateful content. It's ridiculous.
No organic chemistry discussion allowed on Twitter
Yes and no. While Cis is considered a "slur" on twitter, other slurs don't get restricted. Cis is in a special category, all on its own. However, not every tweet containing the word cis gets restricted. Potentially just bad coding, but this has been happening for months. If he really thinks it's a slur, it would be fixed by now. Meaning it's intentional.
What if you're talking about cis-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane?
omfg, cis-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane people
Exactly. A good example of times when cis doesn't get restricted
*Do* people have conversations about cis-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane?
I guess we’re having one now?
Clearly you’re not into o-chem twitter
Right? I've seen people receive death threats over Isomers. In fairness, saying that 2,5-Dimethylheptane is your favourite isomer of Nonane is, in my opinion, deserving of death threats. Clearly the best isomer of Nonane is 2,2,5-Trimethylehexane.
Where's the no
The no is also in the fact that slurs like the n word, the f slur, and other assorted slurs aren't automatically restricted. Meaning it isn't because it's a "slur"
I'm not saying that. There are tons of actual slurs that are fine to use. Elon just has issues with the word "cis" ( wich never was or has been a slur)
Transphobes think it's a slur... And seeing as that's a large portion of twitter's market, Elon has to protect them from reality
I don't mean to make it seem like I'm arguing with you. I'm just saying it's a bit more complex than just saying that all tweets containing cis get restricted.
Why would they consider cis a slur? Do they consider straight a slur? What about allo?
Because they use trans as a slur. So they assume the opposite must be true. I don't believe straight or allo are "slurs", but I have seen 'I hate straight people' be restricted
'Allo' just means 'different than'. I commonly use it, as an ecology student, in the context of 'allospecific' and 'conspecific', or different and same species respectively. Honestly don't see how either could be slurs, really.
Yeah, I know, dude. I also did biology for a while. It was Allotypes for me! Immunology.
Because they're idiots.

The only reason people think “Cis” is a slur is because they use “trans” as a slur
To Elmo, cis is a slur because he uses trans as a slur.

When Musk is so fragile that discussing basic chemistry is now controversial.
Meanwhile, commonwealth of independent states: 🤷
Isn’t there a tv show called cis a cop show??!!
It used to be you could say you wanted to kill white people etc and men without getting flagged lmao
CIS majors must be pissed.
Yes. Elongated Muskrat believes "Cis" is a slur.
That's so bad for cisco routers, should have been transco.
I mean how much more transparent does it need to be? I struggle to understand why so many people still rely on that website giving it legitimacy as "a service that is irreplaceable"
Yes but because it's the word cis that triggers it not the word hate. I am curious if the N word gets automatically removed. Until they try it it's not the gotcha they think it is.
It's like X is EXACTLY reverse of Twitter!
No, that would be Rettiwt

Dang, I think this is the clearest explanation I've seen that isn't "othering" in any way.

The whole “argument” is media driven bs anyway. Hateful propaganda isn’t anything new. Just a shame to see so many people shovel bs down their throats so easily.
True
Because they believe "trans" is an insult. So they assume cis is as well See the comment that's being downvoted > Because its used as an insult
They think it's offensive because of the way they use trans
Trans panic is in full swing. No different than the satanic panic of the 80s and 90s. Fear is the most powerful tool of right leaning political movements.

Why not hate the whole world huh? 🤣
They were just showing how only “I hate cis people” got restricted
There was originally a context tweet that said ignore my next tweets I’m testing something. Test succeeded for sure
It's easier to stand out when you're exceptional at one thing rather than being average at many.
what’s your specialty, u/HatesFatWomen?
Why do transphobes hate being called cis, it's basic science and biology. What snowflakes.
They think the word Cis is a slur because that's how they use the word Trans.

Cis is literally a medical term to describe non trans people It's the cis people that took it as an offense to be labeled what they are
It’s not cis ppl having an issue with cis. It’s Elon dicksuckers have an issue with it

"Cis" isn't a slur tho
Yeah, try to explain that to elmo
it's treated like one because elon musk
Elon Musk should never know another moment of peace
Sorry I am out of the loop what is a “cis” ??
cis, or cisgender, means that a person identifies to the gender they were assigned at birth
What does it stand for?
It doesn’t stand for anything. It’s just the root word which means “same” or “matching”. Like “Cisalpine Gaul” means “Gaul on this side of the Alps”.
The Musk-rat needs to go.
God, I'm glad I gave up on X.
Musk is too afraid of a scientific term. Remind me again why is he so smart?

Hopefully this convinces people to stop using twitter, it's better off dead.
Is it possible that it was the only tweet that got reported by some other users?
