[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i'm cisgender and in no way consider being called cisgender offensive.  It's like being called heterosexual, which I also don't think is offensive.[/quote]

Okay, but you don’t get to speak for everyone. I’m a registered Democrat who voted for Harris, and I find the word profoundly offensive. Why? Because it is, in my view, a religious slur. [b]I am not part of and do not believe in gender ideology, and I do not want to adopt its religious tenets,[/b] nor do I want to be referred to using the derogatory term that adherents use for non-believers. There are many terms that religious groups use to insult (and provoke violence against) outsiders. I am not going to repeat the most vile of them here, but consider how the term “infidel” is used by some religious groups. “Cisgender” is just another version of “infidel.”

And the point is that even if you disagree with me completely, as is your right, there are many people—many of whom did not and would never vote for Trump—who consider the term cisgender to be extremely and deeply offensive. So, why is it acceptable to keep using the term? [/quote]

This + 1 million.
I'm a registered Republican who voted for Harris (couldn't stomach Trump, the man) even though I lean conservative and agree with the majority of GOP views on political and social views.

They'll never admit it but many Democrats lost their way and continue to not see just how far gone down the rabbit hole they went with the extreme Trans/LGBTQ gender ideology cult-like mentality. The result....Trump with the antithesis - just another extreme cult-like mentality to counter another.

I listened to clip. If the term she used is a slur -- OMG -- people really do need to use common sense and get tougher skin. Suck it up buttercup. Every word is a slur nowadays and every opinion is bigoted or racist. No wonder our society is where it is now.

Sure I voted for Harris but the way some Democrats continue down this rabbit hole I'll most assuredly vote red when it's someone other than Trump...he won't live forever...maybe just in the history books. [/quote]

Ok we’ll just bring racial slurs back then shall we and you can tell Black people ‘suck it up buttercup’

T****y is freaking rude as hell and actually nothing to do with liberal policies on gender. It’s just rude and cruel and this lady is an awful awful person [/quote]

Well...you know what I was taught about bullies? Ignore them and they go away. The more you react the worse they act.

I was called lilipad by a bully way back in elementary school (my name was Lili). I got over it. But my feelings were hurt therefore lilipad is a slur?

I do like how you explained it -- rude. Sure it was rude...and to be honest I did find her repeating it again rather petty and am more upset about that - repeating it and acting like an immature adult like a child taunting "Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah".

Connolly made it worse....I found it interesting that Comer's response to Connolly's inquiry about the slur breaking decorum rules was "I will be honest I'm not up to date on my politically correct LGBTQ terminology."

Even Comer was honestly unaware that this was a slur. Why is simply abbreviating a descriptive term/making it more "slang" considered a slur? Who makes that decision? Is there a dictionary somewhere of what is and what is not considered a slur. How does one even keep up with what is and is not a slur? I seriously want to know -- what is the politically correct LGBTQ terminology? Because I honestly don't see the abbreviated term as a slur.

Fun Fact: The slur in question was originally a term used by transgender people to refer to themselves.
