The words cis or cisgneros are used to designate people who feel comfortable with the born sex or with the educated gender. Those who don't feel comfortable with the born sex or with the established gender would be trans people. This reality has always existed, but the societies of each era and the ways of weaving their power relations have made them visible or invisible. Among the Basques it is usually said that it is the name, so with the words trans and zis we can understand that this reality exists. Maybe for many, this is new, it's a fashion, it's an invention, but for many it's the meaning of their life.
It seems, however, that this reality is uncomfortable for some, that the other is well defined (what is trans), but that being defined (what is cis) does not look as appropriate. So maybe last week, Elon Ms, owner of Twitter, announced that the words cisgender and cis are offensive, and that they are going to be considered as persecution behaviors with repetitive use, that can temporarily close the account to those who use them.
Human beings tend to classify them, to define what is the other thing, they are strategies to feel protected, which we have very internalized. Perhaps the appointment of the other is a necessary step to get to know oneself and take care of oneself, especially among those who have been oppressed. The digital childhood we have with the Muskiz movement has become apparent, because banning a word will not conceal a reality that aims to advance.
In December 2022, in the analyses developed by the Digital Hate Deactivation Center counterhate.com and other agents (The MicrosoftBump: Quantifying the rise in hate speech under Elon Ms) conclude that the number of hate speech on Twitter has increased considerably under the direction of Muskiz.

Snow hides the earth and the traces of beings looking for pleasure. Under the beauty of snow there is time, years, generations, ephemerides, quotations; but when time goes by there are words that have not been said before or after. Snow reminds us that we could slip and fall. As... [+]
When we woke up, culturally and administratively, the landscape showed a three-speed disaster.
As far as culture is concerned, I had the opportunity – once again – to confirm this last November 14 at the Mint library in Ortzaize. There we met because Eñaut Etxamendi... [+]
The world has also done so, because it is a symbol, because in history more genocides have already been done and will be done (bad luck, hear, it has touched you to be born there), but Palestine has special characteristics:

They appeared, as usual, through the hut, parked in the center of the passage, in herbs and encharcations so as not to dirty the mills, and went through the road, tracing, to the porch, with a large dish in the hand. As usual, the bûche was ready. In French bûche it can be a... [+]
As the fall ends, the crows appear on Basque Day, in the Basque era or in the Durango Fair. Aware of the results of socio-linguistic surveys on the use of Euskera, the "politically corrective" exercise has no longer drawn anyone's attention. Without Ttattarri, with cool and smiling... [+]
I've done a quick analysis of the technology forecasts for 2025. Like every year, when you talk about what technology is going to bring to the media in 2025, the discourse is very similar. Many of us who write about technology have the anxiety of knowing more than it's going to... [+]

The girl who appears in the center of photography, which can hardly be considered historical, is writing a list of adjectives: I, you, he, we, you, they. Looking down, I couldn't see what his gaze looked like.
Insensitive to the work of the photographer, you, slowly and... [+]
I wanted to write for the Christmas lights and claim to become an annual tradition in this time of street lighting, a welcoming, joyful and joyful public space from the point of view of the class. But, of course, also warm public spaces where some young people can be warming up... [+]
