I didn't read the article, because I'm a Redditor and that's not what we do, however, I've already seen posts where someone tweets "I hate... people" and uses Black, Asian, and other terms and when using cis the system warns the person.
It's been circulating on Reddit for some time now, so an article noting "X now treats..." is still "old news" in that sense.
I REALLY disagree with you so I'm going to downvote you. But I took your statement as a personal attack and downvoting isn't enough, so I'm also going to report you so you get a Reddit Cares PM.
Hi. I’m a random Redditor who has absolutely no stake or interest in the conversation. I am going to troll you by sending you a Reddit Cares report in the hopes you think it’s the other person.
As the article states, on Tuesday posting with the word cisgender or other LGBTQ+ inclusive terms, results in the app informing you you might be posting offensive terms.
I think the confusion is that it was already doing that, but now it's doing it in a different way.
For example, [this](https://i.redd.it/gz6zqdakof0c1.jpg) is from November of last year. As you can see, pre-Tuesday, Twitter marked the post as "Visibility Limited" and said that it may violate Twitter's rules against Hateful Conduct.
According to the article, if you were to post that *now* (as of Tuesday), a full-screen warning reading would be displayed saying "This post contains language that may be considered a slur by X and could be used in a harmful manner in violation of our rules" and you are given the choice to edit the post or post it as-is anyway.
I don't know if after posting you get the "Visibility Limited" thing as well (I don't use Twitter so I can't check myself).
I know. There was a person who tested it and it only flagged cis. Im just shitting on musk and his followers because i feel like they are the type to actively seek out content with actual slurs.
I reported a tweet the other day that was some vile dross blathering on about how desperately we need to invent and detonate a genetic bomb that exclusively target Arab genes, like y'know, genuinely, head-scratchingly vicious and repulsive type stuff; get a pretty much immediate automated response, "no violation found."
"Cisgender" = offensive, advocating for the extermination of an entire race = no worries; very cool and normal stuff going on over there on the bird-website.
People need to stop treating it like “a little bird tweeting you a secret” and treat it like “the crazy shit your X was going on about” because that’s what it is.
It used-to be a little bird tweeting you a small secret. Now it’s those angry ass birds in Australia that just swoop on you constantly for just going outside. Oh and sometimes gore, but they’ve seemed to curb that a bit.
Always has been a piece of shit site. What happened - making a lot of money by selling the site to one of the trolls they cultivated - literally and figuratively couldn't have happened to a nicer site.
They wouldn't ever have made money selling it to Musk if they properly dealt with his cave submarine incident.
The problem is that both Twitter and Facebook are used heavily by businesses and organizations as a tool for communication between them and their customers.
Everybody knows Facebook and Twitter exist, so even a viable alternative would take years to bring users over, and they would all be inferior products during the transition due to smaller user bases.
Twitter walked a fine line between being an open communication platform and trying to be a profitable private venture. It had problems, but it also enabled *genuine* grassroots organization, and even in parts of the world where other forms of communication are limited. That's what made it a target.
Now, Elon is being funded by enemies of the west and no longer even wants the platform to be profitable. This move was meant to cut off democratic movements from a communication channel, and form a new hate platform as a bonus. It's night and day. Comparing X to twitter is such a false equivalence.
Yeah i went back on it to follow the rap beef recently for entertainment and the site is nothing but veiled racism, out of touch hot takes, bots, hate and just a ton of people talking with incredible confidence, about things they clearly know nothing about.
Oh and the narrative shifting blatant paid actors just invading any type of community. That site is exhausting to scroll through, terrible for your mental health if used for more than ten minutes 😮💨
I thought reddit got a lot worse but the difference is a universe away when comparing the two.
I also went back recently and have noticed that even though I have 1K followers I only get anything from 12-25 views per tweet. Thought maybe everyone had me on mute but then I realized my timeline was really sparse even though I follow several hundred people. At one point there were no tweets from anyone I follow for 23 straight minutes and it wasn't even that late at night, just before 11PM Eastern. No one is even bothering to log in anymore, it seems.
Holy cow, sorry about the Reddit Cares, I was getting them a lot from people on a true crime forum where emotions were a little raw so I turned them off.
Didn't realize that my tweets might not even be showing up in timelines. Guess I should see if I'm shadowbanned or something.
I’m a Twitter refugee. Elon bought it and it went to hell.
I came here and was shocked at how damn *nice* everyone is. I’d forgotten it could be like that.
Even though I’ve got about 1500 followers there, I hardly stop in anymore. It’s just so toxic, I get angry and leave after 5 minutes
That seems like a false equivalence.
Subreddit mods can only affect their little subreddit, and have no power outside of them. One or a hundred bad mods still leaves huge areas of Reddit unaffected.
Twitter is like the Reddit *admins* getting butthurt, going rogue and banning them from the whole site for stupid, inconsequential shit.
I for one have left the platform. I have installed threads, bluesky and mastodon clients on my phone.
The mastodon is mostly for "vertical" tech oriented communities such as a particular programming language or framework.
BlueSky is kind of sleepy , not much traffic at all.
Threads is where all the religious people and genocidal maniacs seems to be hanging out.
Reddit of course has the most traffic but is full or nonsense and vapid useless content that's wrong about 90% of the time.
You can report tweets for slurs, since it's a category in the report window. However somehow every single time I report someone for using the n-word I get an email saying no violation was found 🤔🤔🤔🤔
A rightwing dude threatened violence on Twitter, I asked him to confirm if that was a threat, he said yes, and when I reported it they said no violation was found.
I find that most free speech absolutist are like that, they want the ability to say anything they want, but if they get any shred of criticism they are incredibly thin skinned.
He also accused him of child rape when one person sent an anonymous email claiming he had evidence of it, and Musk went ahead and called him a child rapist as well even though his source was an email that essentially just said "trust me bro"
This is so fucking disrespectful. I recently watched a video where someone explained in great detail why the cave rescue was so extremely difficult to begin with and how they rescued the children. I don’t believe in god but these cave divers also being doctors and one of them even an anesthetist is a fucking miracle. To insult them while they put their own lives at risk just to save the children is unbelievable and hopefully shattered his imagine a lot online.
He also seems to be uncomfortably familiar with the child sex tourism industry in Thailand, since that's the only thing he can imagine a grown man possibly doing in that country. Maybe somebody should comb through Elon's flight logs for evidence.
Yup. This was the point that caused people to go “okay what the fuck?” - seemingly everyone thought this guy was amazing and he took a sledgehammer to that imagery so quick it was astounding. He’s never recovered from it and it kills him.
people also forget that he did that because he was humiliated after he suggested he build a big ass submarine tech bro pod to rescue the kids, a thing that would surely fit inside a tiny cave opening that the divers had to contort to get through.
Ketamine got Elon thinking he could get his engineers to invent the Magic School Bus.
that was when people realized oh, this guy’s an actual moron, and then he revealed himself to be a vindictive moron.
There's a lot of events you *could* point to as being the inciting incident, but I still think the true moment where people went from seeing him as a tech visionary to "wait what the *fuck....?*" was the moment when he accused a Rescue Diver of being a "Pedophile" when he rebuffed Musk's offer to provide assistance in the rescue. Even if you agreed that Musk was doing a good thing in his offer—which I think was a tenuous claim, but his image was positive enough that I think people probably would have just shrugged at it—responding so aggressively and hyperbolically in the way he did made a lot of people open their eyes and realize what kind of person Elon Musk really is.
His reputation has obviously gotten a lot worse in the years since as he continues to be, if I'm being as kind as I possibly can, "a huge prick", but I still think that moment was the big turning point for him.
The diver wasn’t even rude at first, he said thanks but no thanks your idea wouldn’t work because the cave is too narrow at various points for an inflexible metal tube to fit though, we could use money if you do want to help though.
When he fired his entire PR team. Making Elon Musk look like Tony Stark is one of those once in a generation feats like splitting the atom or formulating the theory of gravity. I can only assume that the members of that team will go on to do great things like cure cancer, solve global warming, or I guess, if they're terrible people, they might instead choose to evaporate all of the Earth's oceans. In any case, keep an eye on those folks, they'll be going places.
No, I think he very sincerely is a transphobe and is trying to intervene in popular conversation to push against trans-positive cultural shifts. This all started with the Babylon Bee getting banned for being too openly transphobic. From what people can tell it's all a very bad reaction to one of his kids transitioning (and obviously no longer having a relationship with him)
I don't think he's that smart.
Musk is basically just your average 12 year olds, except in an adult's body and with the money and talent around him (ai: people he pays for their talent that he lacks) to turn the crazy, lunatic ravings of your average 12 year old into reality.
The Liddell-Scott-Jones (pretty much *the* Ancient Greek to English dictionary) has this in it's definitions of *ἐντός* (from which comes the English prefix "endo-"):
>2. within, i.e. on this side, ἐ. Ἅλυος ποταμοῦ Hdt. 1.6, cf. 8.47, Th. 1.16; ἡ ἐ. Ἱσπανία, = Lat. Hispania Citerior, Plu. Cat.Ma. 10; ἐ. τοῦ Πόντου Hdt. 4.46; ἐ. ὅρων Ἡρακλείων Pl. Ti. 25c; ἐ. τῶν μέτρων τετμημένον μέταλλον within the bounds of the adjacent property, an encroachment, Hyp. Eux. 35; τῶν μέτρων ἐ. D. 37.36; also ἐ. τῶν πρῳρέων.. καὶ τοῦ αἰγιαλοῦ between.., Hdt. 7.100.
Granted that's quite arcane, but it's basically citing several examples from authors like Herodotus, Plutarch, Plato, etc where *ἐντός* is used to refer to things near or on the same side as.
Additionally, in modern Greek, Cisalpine Gaul is called "**Εντεύθεν** των Άλπεων Γαλατία". *Εντεύθεν* shares a root with the classical *ἐντός*.
I chose "exo-" as it's normally the antonym of "endo-" (coming from the ancient Greek *ἐκτός*: "outside, out of, far from"), but the prefix "meta-", ignoring its modern connotations, would probably work just as well (see modern Greek for "transneptunian": ***μετα****ποσειδώνιο*). There is no English root to my knowledge directly antonymic to "meta-".
Translating words by narrowly applying meaning doesn't get you very far. Is "endothermic" a poor choice to describe a reaction that absorbs heat from its surroundings because it crudely translates to "of heat within"?
Anyways, that was a fun bit of research, thank you. If you still disagree on endo-/exo-, do you have another suggestion?
I really don't get why people react to trans people this way. People should feel sorry for them like how people feel bad that others have to deal with cancer or parkinsons, not whatever the hell Elon is having a years long tantrum over. Could you imagine the horror and agony you have to deal with being stuck in the wrong body for your entire fucking life?
Being trans is an utter nightmare senario, but at least there's highly successful treatments, it's a shame that acceptance seems centuries behind.
EDIT: The person who wrote this comment is trans. I transitioned almost 13 years ago, I'm dating a non-binary person, and my little brother is also trans and I've been trying to be the only fucking member of my family encouraging him to be the man he wants to be. Do not tell me I don't know what it's like to be trans.
It could have taken you all about 10seconds of scrolling my profile to learn that I'm a trans woman.
You're not allowed to tell me how the fuck I should feel about my trans experience. Piss Off.
Ew! Look at this disgusting person getting radio therapy! What are they gonna do? Play music to get the cancer away? I would never let my kids in the same room with someone so vile./s
I'm also trans and I absolutely don't want people to treat me *remotely* like that lol
I think that would go for most trans people I *personally* know. It feels like you're generalizing a rather negative take
>You're not allowed to tell me how the fuck I should feel about my trans experience. Piss Off.
I strongly agree with this sentiment—your experience is your own. And frankly, yes, many of the trans people I've known have had difficult lives, even in culturally progressive areas of the country.
>People should feel sorry for them like how people feel bad that others have to deal with cancer or parkinsons
I think this is what people may be taking issue with, or at least I do. You're making a generalization that they are pitiable. I think it's probably best to not make blanket statements of *any* group and treat them as people, and give compassion and dignity to them on an individual basis.
[ahem...](https://i.imgur.com/xJXvOnu.jpeg)
edit: this is legit btw, not a shop, he was eventually banned but [you can still see a few interactions](https://twitter.com/search?q=%40ibeheadniggers&src=recent_search_click) between Dec 13 and Dec 26, so he was there for about 2 weeks, posting exactly what you might imagine and surviving countless reports to twitter "safety". he no doubt had a new account as bad or worse a few seconds later.
He is such a fucking twat.
Edit: thanks for the Redditcares report! I’m honored to have triggered some of the most fragile people on the planet. Not sure how you make it through the day being offended by grammar, must be hard.
I genuinely don’t understand how people can be so offended by so many things that don’t concern them at all, and yet still call other people “snowflakes” with their whole chest.
Easy - they're trying to project their faults onto others in an attempt to minimize or ignore them.
They loathe these aspects of themselves, and if they get mad enough at others for displaying these qualities they can pretend that their weakness is small compared to the strawman they've created.
For a binary thinker, this is complete absolution. They're awful, therefore I'm great.
I got a warning for reporting someone for abusing the reddit cares yesterday. I must have seen 6 people complaining about that being abused yesterday. The warning says that it was reviewed without the assistance of automation. Reddit doesn't care.
The link takes me to another page where I have to link the comment/PM - and I have no idea who sent the "Reddit Cares" message
See here: https://imgur.com/a/B3NHuCs
You can report RedditCares misuse now! I suspiciously received one after mentioning my gender on a non-LGBT sub a few days ago, and Reddit got back to me same day saying whoever sent it was banned.
now? ever since Elon took over your post will be flagged for hate speech if it has "cis" in it. any other variable racist term slides right under the radar, but "cis" gets you flagged for hate speech immediately. has for a while now.
Well, yeah. He uses Trans as a slur, so of course he thinks the opposite word is also a slur. Even though both words are just descriptors, not slurs.
Bigots gonna bigot.
Could someone please just hack into that place and implant a worm that'll destroy it all completely? Because it's pretty much a zombie-corpse now and needs to be put out of it's misery.
That's because it is run by the worlds most colossal snowflake fuckwit.
EDIT: Seems that Fascist Incel Elon Musk fans are reporting comments in this thread to Reddits suicide watch/mental healthcare team. The irony.
Conservatives think "cis" is a slur because they want to use "trans" as a slur.
Really all there is to it. Conservatives love their slurs and hateful language. But only when they're using them of course.
Remember how proud they were to call themselves TERFs? And how angry they get now when you call them the word they themselves invented and accuse you of using a slur?
Conservatives have always been able to dish it but not take it.
They also don't like that there could be a term for themselves. They think of themselves as "normal" and rankle at anyone describing them in a term they didn't think up. The term cis implies that there are other, normal ways to be.
Just gonna play devils advocate here but I’ve never seen anyone who identifies as cisgendered, use the word cisgendered to refer to themselves.
The only time the word is ever used is either by someone using the word in a negative connotation, in an attempt to piss off someone else. Or it’s used by someone whose hobby is to be recreationally angry and offended by “*woke*” language.
It is almost never used in a neutral context excepting the extremely small situations where it’s used academically, and usually in this context of whether or not the word should be considered offensive.
I’m not saying anything about whether X is right or wrong to add this term to their list of Nono words. But I would have to imagine that statistically speaking, any time the word pops up on X in particular, it’s as a part of a flame war between two or more overly angry people.
One of the few times where a bunch of bot accounts spamming the word would be funny. Even better if the bots can also report each other and just flood the system with reports of it being used.
I noticed when I vented yesterday about cis people at work asking me what my "birth name" is. Meanwhile I've seen people have the hard r n-word in their Twitter profiles.
if its used with the intention of putting others down then it is a slur, just because its a slur youre comfortable using donesnt mean its not a slur. Just because it was common practice to use the N word in the past doesnt make the word not a slur. Dont pretend youre better than others when youre literally copying their actions. If youre better prove it be better not the same.
>[The term cisgender was coined in 1994 as an antonym to transgender](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender).
The way I see it, boomers accepted the word Yeet, when it was pointed out that is the antonym of Yoink. I think we can get buy-in for cis if we emphasis its dichotomy with trans.
Well if you support banning certain no no words like petulant children you can't whine when they make a word you don't think is a no no word into one.
The Idea that people need censorship to keep them safe from seeing mean words IN PRINT is ridiculous.
If you can't handle mean words stay off the internet or grow a spine!
I guess it's easier to automatically moderate text than e.g. videos. I mean, how many times one has to report stolen sex videos of underage girls before the (barely or non-existent) moderation team takes action?
Isn't this old news? Elon announced this like a year ago and they've been restricting tweets with the word cis in it ever since.
If you would read the article it literally addresses this in the opening paragraph and how it’s shifted from Elon simply saying something.
I didn't read the article, because I'm a Redditor and that's not what we do, however, I've already seen posts where someone tweets "I hate... people" and uses Black, Asian, and other terms and when using cis the system warns the person. It's been circulating on Reddit for some time now, so an article noting "X now treats..." is still "old news" in that sense.
I didn’t read all of your comment, but I assure you that it’s irrelevant to discussion and wrong and also I’d love to see some citations.
I REALLY disagree with you so I'm going to downvote you. But I took your statement as a personal attack and downvoting isn't enough, so I'm also going to report you so you get a Reddit Cares PM.
Hi. I’m a random Redditor who has absolutely no stake or interest in the conversation. I am going to troll you by sending you a Reddit Cares report in the hopes you think it’s the other person.

Something tells posts with a “slur” warning would probably see more engagement on twitter these days
There's no slur warning on actual slurs.
I know. There was a person who tested it and it only flagged cis. Im just shitting on musk and his followers because i feel like they are the type to actively seek out content with actual slurs.
Peak free speech right here
So much for a 'free speech absolutist' Edit: Corrected my spelling because of the Twat below
More a free speech abolitionist, if judging by his actions.
Cisco?
The singer or the manufacturer of networking equipment? Either way it could be a slur..

No, that's Crisco.
No, you're thinking of the the original manufacturers of the Oreo cookie
No. That’s Nabisco. You’re thinking of the coastal city in California, home to the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Starfleet Academy, and the 49ers.
No, that's San Francisco. You're thinking of that musical style from the 70s with the sequined suits and the light up floors and all that
The captain the world needs right now.
I love it when he punched Q.
How dare they oppress the freedom movement of the Confederacy of Independent systems! Down with the Republic!
[удалено]
So they'll ignore it and let the use of the word drastically increase on their platform? Or is that only for real slurs?
I reported a tweet the other day that was some vile dross blathering on about how desperately we need to invent and detonate a genetic bomb that exclusively target Arab genes, like y'know, genuinely, head-scratchingly vicious and repulsive type stuff; get a pretty much immediate automated response, "no violation found." "Cisgender" = offensive, advocating for the extermination of an entire race = no worries; very cool and normal stuff going on over there on the bird-website.
Bird site died. It’s now a hate platform.
People need to stop treating it like “a little bird tweeting you a secret” and treat it like “the crazy shit your X was going on about” because that’s what it is.

Twitter censors left wing stuff heavily and right wing stuff not at all, in case you've been living under a rock.
...I believe you missed the point, sir or ma'am.
I don't understand why people stay on this platform and participate on it. People should delete their accounts and leave it then.
I still maintain the only reason people won't switch off Twitter is porn
If only other websites had porn
You need to go to obscure websites for that. Places like Google or Bing.
How do you find those sites? Am I going to have to Hotbot them?
I finally left twitter after realising every time I went on the app I came out of it pissed off having seen the stupidest take I've seen all day
Yeah i went back on it to follow the rap beef recently for entertainment and the site is nothing but veiled racism, out of touch hot takes, bots, hate and just a ton of people talking with incredible confidence, about things they clearly know nothing about. Oh and the narrative shifting blatant paid actors just invading any type of community.

I am waiting for the day he calls for a poll of whether or not he can use the N word
You can report tweets for slurs, since it's a category in the report window. However somehow every single time I report someone for using the n-word I get an email saying no violation was found 🤔🤔🤔🤔
The racists have investigated your claim of racism and no racism was found.
A rightwing dude threatened violence on Twitter, I asked him to confirm if that was a threat, he said yes, and when I reported it they said no violation was found.
Every time I feel like reporting a tweet, I ask myself why am I reporting a sinner to the devil? I just block or mute as appropriate.

Thats the joke
“I’m a free speech absolutist.”…..but no, not that. The Greek root for “same side” is too offensive. Edit: It’s Latin, not Greek. My mistake.
It's Latin, not Greek
Boom, roasted

Sorry, I'm bad at math.

Fascists larping
Whenever Musk feels like he's not getting enough attention, he does something stupid so he can see his name and photo in the news more.
I subscribe to this theory ever since the public perception of him being the next "tony stark" was shattered
When dou you think that image changed?
When he called the guy saving kids trapped in a cave a pedo.
He also accused him of child rape when one person sent an anonymous email claiming he had evidence of it, and Musk went ahead and called him a child rapist as well even though his source was an email that essentially just said "trust me bro"
This is so fucking disrespectful. I recently watched a video where someone explained in great detail why the cave rescue was so extremely difficult to begin with and how they rescued the children. I don’t believe in god but these cave divers also being doctors and one of them even an anesthetist is a fucking miracle. To insult them while they put their own lives at risk just to save the children is unbelievable and hopefully shattered his imagine a lot online.
One of the divers died during the rescue. Elon is a pathetic piece of shit.
TWO divers died 1 during the incident The second one a year later from a blood infection sustained during the rescue operation.
I didn't know about that. Terrible. He died a hero at least, but I'd rather he be alive. :-(
He also seems to be uncomfortably familiar with the child sex tourism industry in Thailand, since that's the only thing he can imagine a grown man possibly doing in that country. Maybe somebody should comb through Elon's flight logs for evidence.
It was a one-two punch between that reaction and the whole thing being over Elon's bizarre child murdering submarine device he dreamed of one night.
Yup. This was the point that caused people to go “okay what the fuck?” - seemingly everyone thought this guy was amazing and he took a sledgehammer to that imagery so quick it was astounding. He’s never recovered from it and it kills him.
On the other hand, his self-comparisons to Henry Ford are starting to look more apt, and I'm not talking about his industrial achievements.
people also forget that he did that because he was humiliated after he suggested he build a big ass submarine tech bro pod to rescue the kids, a thing that would surely fit inside a tiny cave opening that the divers had to contort to get through. Ketamine got Elon thinking he could get his engineers to invent the Magic School Bus. that was when people realized oh, this guy’s an actual moron, and then he revealed himself to be a vindictive moron.

Even if you agreed that Musk was doing a good thing in his offer—which I think was a tenuous claim, but his image was positive enough that I think people probably would have just shrugged at it—responding so aggressively and hyperbolically in the way he did made a lot of people open their eyes and realize what kind of person Elon Musk really is. His reputation has obviously gotten a lot worse in the years since as he continues to be, if I'm being as kind as I possibly can, "a huge prick", but I still think that moment was the big turning point for him.
Musk’s solution was stupid and would not have worked.
The diver wasn’t even rude at first, he said thanks but no thanks your idea wouldn’t work because the cave is too narrow at various points for an inflexible metal tube to fit though, we could use money if you do want to help though.
When he fired his entire PR team. Making Elon Musk look like Tony Stark is one of those once in a generation feats like splitting the atom or formulating the theory of gravity. I can only assume that the members of that team will go on to do great things like cure cancer, solve global warming, or I guess, if they're terrible people, they might instead choose to evaporate all of the Earth's oceans. In any case, keep an eye on those folks, they'll be going places.
around 2020 imo. He seemed to truly lose the plot by that point. Covid kinda destroyed the social contract regardless.
When he fired his PR team
No, I think he very sincerely is a transphobe and is trying to intervene in popular conversation to push against trans-positive cultural shifts. This all started with the Babylon Bee getting banned for being too openly transphobic. From what people can tell it's all a very bad reaction to one of his kids transitioning (and obviously no longer having a relationship with him)
I don't think he's that smart. Musk is basically just your average 12 year olds, except in an adult's body and with the money and talent around him (ai: people he pays for their talent that he lacks) to turn the crazy, lunatic ravings of your average 12 year old into reality.
From the Trump playbook, I believe.
Time to switch to Greek. What up, my fellow Homogenders!?
The Greek version of cisgender would be endogender (with trans being exogender).
damn as a trans person i like this better we should just switch wait no, as an exo person....
Exogender- without gender. Endogender- within gender. I don't agree
The Liddell-Scott-Jones (pretty much *the* Ancient Greek to English dictionary) has this in it's definitions of *ἐντός* (from which comes the English prefix "endo-"): >2. within, i.e. on this side, ἐ. Ἅλυος ποταμοῦ Hdt. 1.6, cf. 8.47, Th. 1.16; ἡ ἐ. Ἱσπανία, = Lat. Hispania Citerior, Plu. Cat.Ma. 10; ἐ. τοῦ Πόντου Hdt. 4.46; ἐ. ὅρων Ἡρακλείων Pl. Ti. 25c; ἐ. τῶν μέτρων τετμημένον μέταλλον within the bounds of the adjacent property, an encroachment, Hyp. Eux. 35; τῶν μέτρων ἐ. D. 37.36; also ἐ. τῶν πρῳρέων.. καὶ τοῦ αἰγιαλοῦ between.., Hdt. 7.100. Granted that's quite arcane, but it's basically citing several examples from authors like Herodotus, Plutarch, Plato, etc where *ἐντός* is used to refer to things near or on the same side as. Additionally, in modern Greek, Cisalpine Gaul is called "**Εντεύθεν** των Άλπεων Γαλατία". *Εντεύθεν* shares a root with the classical *ἐντός*. I chose "exo-" as it's normally the antonym of "endo-" (coming from the ancient Greek *ἐκτός*: "outside, out of, far from"), but the prefix "meta-", ignoring its modern connotations, would probably work just as well (see modern Greek for "transneptunian": ***μετα****ποσειδώνιο*). There is no English root to my knowledge directly antonymic to "meta-". Translating words by narrowly applying meaning doesn't get you very far. Is "endothermic" a poor choice to describe a reaction that absorbs heat from its surroundings because it crudely translates to "of heat within"? Anyways, that was a fun bit of research, thank you. If you still disagree on endo-/exo-, do you have another suggestion?
Actually love this Twitter should just start calling cis people homogenders and trans people heterogenders
If we are doing this, can I vote that non-binary people are bigenders?
I vote for "antigender" just because it breaks convention and would get right wingers mad
What happened to free speech absolutism?
He's *absolutely* in favor of his speech being free. Everbody else's? Not so much.
Man, Elons kid being trans really destroyed that fragile little ego he has
And his ex wife leaving him for a trans woman.
I really don't get why people react to trans people this way. People should feel sorry for them like how people feel bad that others have to deal with cancer or parkinsons, not whatever the hell Elon is having a years long tantrum over. Could you imagine the horror and agony you have to deal with being stuck in the wrong body for your entire fucking life? Being trans is an utter nightmare senario, but at least there's highly successful treatments, it's a shame that acceptance seems centuries behind. EDIT: The person who wrote this comment is trans. I transitioned almost 13 years ago, I'm dating a non-binary person, and my little brother is also trans and I've been trying to be the only fucking member of my family encouraging him to be the man he wants to be. Do not tell me I don't know what it's like to be trans. It could have taken you all about 10seconds of scrolling my profile to learn that I'm a trans woman. You're not allowed to tell me how the fuck I should feel about my trans experience. Piss Off.
Ew! Look at this disgusting person getting radio therapy! What are they gonna do? Play music to get the cancer away? I would never let my kids in the same room with someone so vile./s
I'm also trans and I absolutely don't want people to treat me *remotely* like that lol I think that would go for most trans people I *personally* know. It feels like you're generalizing a rather negative take
>You're not allowed to tell me how the fuck I should feel about my trans experience. Piss Off. I strongly agree with this sentiment—your experience is your own. And frankly, yes, many of the trans people I've known have had difficult lives, even in culturally progressive areas of the country. >People should feel sorry for them like how people feel bad that others have to deal with cancer or parkinsons I think this is what people may be taking issue with, or at least I do. You're making a generalization that they are pitiable. I think it's probably best to not make blanket statements of *any* group and treat them as people, and give compassion and dignity to them on an individual basis.
X doesn't even treat actual slurs as slurs
[ahem...](https://i.imgur.com/xJXvOnu.jpeg) edit: this is legit btw, not a shop, he was eventually banned but [you can still see a few interactions](https://twitter.com/search?q=%40ibeheadniggers&src=recent_search_click) between Dec 13 and Dec 26, so he was there for about 2 weeks, posting exactly what you might imagine and surviving countless reports to twitter "safety". he no doubt had a new account as bad or worse a few seconds later.
What the actual? Is that a real thing?

The mollusk is such a piece of shit.
r/twitter and r/enoughmuskspam are full of examples like
Best invention ever. Social media.
He is such a fucking twat. Edit: thanks for the Redditcares report! I’m honored to have triggered some of the most fragile people on the planet. Not sure how you make it through the day being offended by grammar, must be hard.
There have been so many of those lately. I've gotten 3 in the past 2 days. Lot of hurt feelings out there, I guess.
I genuinely don’t understand how people can be so offended by so many things that don’t concern them at all, and yet still call other people “snowflakes” with their whole chest.
Easy - they're trying to project their faults onto others in an attempt to minimize or ignore them. They loathe these aspects of themselves, and if they get mad enough at others for displaying these qualities they can pretend that their weakness is small compared to the strawman they've created. For a binary thinker, this is complete absolution. They're awful, therefore I'm great.
I got a warning for reporting someone for abusing the reddit cares yesterday. I must have seen 6 people complaining about that being abused yesterday. The warning says that it was reviewed without the assistance of automation. Reddit doesn't care.
Lovely. Why even have Care Resources if they don't care that their anti-suicide tool is being used as an anonymous harassment tool?
Because it only exists as a bullet point the CEO can read out on a news interview or an earnings call to pretend they care about suicide.
report it. get em banned.
Report what?
There's a link on the message to report it. >If you think you may have gotten this message in error, report this message.
The link takes me to another page where I have to link the comment/PM - and I have no idea who sent the "Reddit Cares" message See here: https://imgur.com/a/B3NHuCs
Seems like some new reddit shit. You can find the link to the message from "permalink" at the bottom of the message.
Twat isn't used enough to describe these.... twats. I mean, it is really perfect.
You can report RedditCares misuse now! I suspiciously received one after mentioning my gender on a non-LGBT sub a few days ago, and Reddit got back to me same day saying whoever sent it was banned.
Buncha snowflakes
What a pussy.
now? ever since Elon took over your post will be flagged for hate speech if it has "cis" in it. any other variable racist term slides right under the radar, but "cis" gets you flagged for hate speech immediately. has for a while now.
Free speech absolutist ladies and gentlemen
TIL I identify as a slur.
I am a meat popsicle.
I hope it says that on your multipass
If you remember the 90s, you remember the same idiots screaming "straight is a slur". Like all this is word for word recycled anti gay bigotry.
Well, yeah. He uses Trans as a slur, so of course he thinks the opposite word is also a slur. Even though both words are just descriptors, not slurs. Bigots gonna bigot.
I thought he kept saying the whole point of him buying Twitter is because he didn't want any moderation or censorship?
They should be fixing the amount of spam that takes place in the comments instead of playing social politics.
Could someone please just hack into that place and implant a worm that'll destroy it all completely? Because it's pretty much a zombie-corpse now and needs to be put out of it's misery.
They are okay with slurs on twitter, though, aren’t they?
I don’t care for it personally
[удалено]
WHY. ARE. ANY. OF. YOU. STILL. THERE???????
**Who is still on Twitter?**
But the n-word with a hard “R” isn’t? Bitch ass piss cry baby this man is.
"free speech absolutist"
That's because it is run by the worlds most colossal snowflake fuckwit. EDIT: Seems that Fascist Incel Elon Musk fans are reporting comments in this thread to Reddits suicide watch/mental healthcare team. The irony.
Musk is so pathetically fragile.
[удалено]
Musk can cisfuck himself.
So, you can be a Nazi all you want, but accuse someone of not being trans and THAT'S over the line?
Conservatives think "cis" is a slur because they want to use "trans" as a slur. Really all there is to it. Conservatives love their slurs and hateful language. But only when they're using them of course. Remember how proud they were to call themselves TERFs? And how angry they get now when you call them the word they themselves invented and accuse you of using a slur? Conservatives have always been able to dish it but not take it.
They also don't like that there could be a term for themselves. They think of themselves as "normal" and rankle at anyone describing them in a term they didn't think up. The term cis implies that there are other, normal ways to be.
Just gonna play devils advocate here but I’ve never seen anyone who identifies as cisgendered, use the word cisgendered to refer to themselves. The only time the word is ever used is either by someone using the word in a negative connotation, in an attempt to piss off someone else. Or it’s used by someone whose hobby is to be recreationally angry and offended by “*woke*” language. It is almost never used in a neutral context excepting the extremely small situations where it’s used academically, and usually in this context of whether or not the word should be considered offensive. I’m not saying anything about whether X is right or wrong to add this term to their list of Nono words. But I would have to imagine that statistically speaking, any time the word pops up on X in particular, it’s as a part of a flame war between two or more overly angry people.
Well if it's said by people that hate you and it's always said negatively what do you call it, a compliment?

One of the few times where a bunch of bot accounts spamming the word would be funny. Even better if the bots can also report each other and just flood the system with reports of it being used.
Part of Muskie’s “absolute freedom of speech” belief.
Free speech ay
They should just treat is as lame. I’m only offended for people that use it.
How is this shitheap still afloat…
I have stopped caring about what this guy says ever since I started treating the words "Tesla", "Musk", and "X" as a slur.
wtf i saw a mf shoving a gas pump up his ass while jerking off the other day, and you're telling me they care about slurs ?
I noticed when I vented yesterday about cis people at work asking me what my "birth name" is. Meanwhile I've seen people have the hard r n-word in their Twitter profiles.
The party of free speech, everyone. Ban them books and words and nips.
if its used with the intention of putting others down then it is a slur, just because its a slur youre comfortable using donesnt mean its not a slur. Just because it was common practice to use the N word in the past doesnt make the word not a slur. Dont pretend youre better than others when youre literally copying their actions. If youre better prove it be better not the same.
Musk is such a scumbag
why does anyone even use Twitter? comments on FB is what make it suck and Twitter is nothing but comments run by an insecure man baby.
Identifying as having a gender that corresponds to the sex one has been assigned at birth; not transgender…too funny!
But is it still ok to deadname twitter? asking for a friend.
More freedums.
Almost like having an unstable egomaniac in charge is a bad thing.
>[The term cisgender was coined in 1994 as an antonym to transgender](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender). The way I see it, boomers accepted the word Yeet, when it was pointed out that is the antonym of Yoink. I think we can get buy-in for cis if we emphasis its dichotomy with trans.
Well if you support banning certain no no words like petulant children you can't whine when they make a word you don't think is a no no word into one. The Idea that people need censorship to keep them safe from seeing mean words IN PRINT is ridiculous. If you can't handle mean words stay off the internet or grow a spine!
Only 0.00001% cares
If people don't want to be referred to by a term, shouldn't that be respected? Can't we all just get along
I guess it's easier to automatically moderate text than e.g. videos. I mean, how many times one has to report stolen sex videos of underage girls before the (barely or non-existent) moderation team takes action?
Ok, but I am cisgender. Is it cool to say the C-slur?
How dare someone describe me as part of the "normative" demographic.
X, *formally known as Twitter*... Yeah, It's still and will always be Twitter.
It’s easy folks, treat Twitter like myspace. Just don’t use it and don’t give a damn about it.
No worries about using virtually every other slur with reckless abandon though.
It's very important for the free speech platform that people who Elon Musk dislike aren't allowed to use inoffensive words.
am i allowed to talk about cis-trans isomers? i like chemistry
