Because Melon thinks transgender is a slur.
That's antisemitic, too.
I'm pretty sure Elon has no problem with antisemitism since he thinks it's the "actual truth" that Jews (who are, apparently, not white) are oppressing white people.
I am cisgender and aroace. I treat trans people just as equally as everyone else.
So why does Twitter (I'm not calling me X anymore) hate me now? Do I have to identify as anything other than male to be liked by a toxic community? (I am AMAB) Is this some form of counter-discrimination?
Obviously trans people deserve rights, but that doesn't mean cis people should have their rights taken away from them.
It's not about cis bad, it's about "I don't want to be called cis, I want to be called normal"

I am like 87% cis and like 67% het. Gender and sexuality isn't a spectrum, it's a probability field.
I bet all the conservatives are gonna be mad when they find out that even I have no idea if I'm truly male or not. That would make me genderqueer, which is a subset of trans. I mean, I do look very masculine, and use he/him pronouns, but my voice is a bit too... "gay", and I like wearing tight clothing and oversized sweaters with bucket hats (bonus points if it's a color that isn't even close to being associated with manliness, at least where I'm from, such as... idk, pink, and in the case of what I would wear, purple).
What's the percentage of cis in that case? 50%? Less? More? How would being aroace affect my het percentage?
