Just a general FYI, as a consequence of Musk tweeting that cis is a slur, there is now vandalism going on wiktionary.Transphobes are editing the definition of cisgender to add that it's offensive, and that people prefer "gender-normative" and "nontransgender" (which are so much not a thing that one of those words doesn't even exist on the platform).I don't know much about how wiki works or how to report this kind of behaviour.I tried to revert the guy's edit, and literally seconds later he reverted it again.https://en.wiktionary.org/w/index.php?title=cisgender&oldid=73567303#AdjectiveThe only "sources" are recent articles reacting to Elon Musk's tweet.

So, just wait until cis people start pointing to the hastily edited wiktionary definition to give weight to their claim that cis is a slur, if no one does anything to protect the page from vandalism.

If anyone was wondering, anti-trans propaganda is just a "content dispute", and trans people trying to fight back against weakly sourced biased disinformation on wiktionary is actually "spurious flooding".So yeah, fun times to be trans, as with everything else :)

If anyone knows how to protect pages from vandalism on wikipedia, it would be good to, because this will be used by fascists as "proof" that cisgender is controversial.Those edits were all made today specifically, and they're very clearly politically motivated.The user that keeps doing this has now locked the page, so the wiktionary definition of cisgender now says that it's offensive.I think it's pretty dangerous to let this up because right wingers are directly using this manipulated page to give themselves validity.

Can't believe that just because some random transphobe decided to edit wikipedia and say that cis is a slur on it, now that's going to be the canon forever in there.Good job everyone, we're normalising the "cis is a slur" discourse, and no one gives a shit.

Never mind, wiktionary is obscure as fuck and I actually have no idea how to actually make sure fascist trolls can't manipulate it for their own goals.I guess wikipedia will just help the fascists claim that cis is a slur now 🤷♀️ not that it matters when we're already so far down the anti-trans genocide route anyway, who cares

Cis people love their tone policing. Must be so nice to be a random cishet guy sitting on a PC and telling minorities how they should speak, while not lifting a finger to help them.What a life.Fuck Wikipedia. I'm done trying. Clearly this website is run by cryptofascists.Sorry everyone for spamming about this. This started with me deleting some anti-trans vandalising, I didn't realise that admins would immediately protect the anti-trans content and shit on trans people.Can't believe I ever donated to wikipedia's fundraising campaigns in the past, didn't realise the kind of people who have decision power there.

Don't let cis people censor us, they try to do that with everything
