I find it weird that people like him are fine with using the term straight, but cis is for some reason seen as insulting
Because "cis white male" is used pajoratively by certain extreme left groups like it's a problem or something.
The phrase is fine, but saying it like it's a problem is what makes it offensive. Just like any personal characteristic (age, sex, orientation, race, etc), it's not offensive inherently, it's when other groups discriminate based on it that it's a problem. Just because weird bigot people like Elon are saying it like that doesn't mean he started it
Lmao I like that
