Twitter's been an unbearable cesspit of hatred and toxicity for a long time, and while "when will Elon's incompetence make the whole site literally unusable" has sometimes been a fun game, the only thing that's made me occasionally come back from time to time has been the lack...

Comparing things to "Newspeak" in Orwell's 1984 is pretty pat, but just like Godwin's Law, there's an exception for when things really are going in that direction. So let's talk a bit about the claim that "cisgender" is a slur.
There's really no debate here, just right and wrong. Really, that's true about the whole larger issue of trans rights. Trans rights are human rights. But even if you disagree, I would hope that you agree that it's better for language to exist to describe a concept, even if you...
