Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

I suppose technically instead of transgender we could use heterogender, meaning we'd say homogender instead of cisgender. The only time you'd use these terms (and similar ones, like AFAB/AMAB) is in specific situations where the nuance distinguishing the two matters.
You don't have to use the terms either. It's fully acceptable to just call people men and women, particularly in contexts where their assigned sex doesn't matter, which I'd wager for most people is pretty much all the time.
Thats absolutely true. I'm just saying that I get why some people dont like the term, I think that it sounds like an insult.
Being told I'm "Hetero-normative" doesnt feel negative, homogender sounds fine, I've hear the term "Gender-solid" thrown around (admittedly by right wing asshats) and that sounds fine too. Its just something about the way the word sounds that makes me feel like "Yeah, I dont like that"
It sounds like your reasoning is similar to how a lot of people feel about the word 'moist'.
I wouldn't be happy if the descriptor for me was viscerally hurtful to myself.
I think the big difference is the world we live in. Lgbtq+ are being targeted by rightwing fucks all over the world. Talking about how you don't like the word sounds a lot like 'Im just asking what a woman is'. It's not exactly transphobic, but those phrases are often used by people trying to legitimize their hate. For example, take a look at JKRs change in rhetoric.
