'Cis' is ideological language, signifying belief in the unfalsifiable concept of gender identity. You have a perfect right to believe in unprovable essences that may or may not match the sexed body, but the rest of us have a right to disagree, and to refuse to adopt your jargon.

[Worth noting even though it’s a day old, especially in light of Elon Musk’s declaration that ‘cis’ and ‘cisgender’ are now “slurs” on Twitter. We are seeing a pushback on the manipulation of language by the radical Left and transgender activists to, as I wrote in another context yesterday, pathologize the normal and normalize the fringe. We can either choose to participate in that process or reject it. More of us need to reject it, and having people of the stature of Rowling and Musk choose the latter opens the door for everyone else to choose wisely, too. — Ed]
