This is one of the stupidest things I’ve seen lately, what a shitshow. Let’s make “straight” a slur next.

Get this... Musk believes not only that he can just will a change to a word in a massively spoken language, but that the word, which is a term for "straight", should be offensive to everyone. Why does Elon Musk hate straight people? The dude is a total clown.

Why are people still on Twitter?

Apparently Musk hasn't considered the number of cisgendered allies to the trans* community who are willing to describe themselves as cis/cisgendered.

Bastion of free speech McGee.

Why couldn’t he just be in the sub? Ugh.

Glad I'm now here, and not there.

I'd like to point out that restricting language is one of the tenants of fascism.

If you're still on Twitter, you're part of the problem.
