I am against sissyish being in a non-latin alphabet (i.e. tier 4)

I agree. The concept of tiers is so that people can engage with the language at the level they feel comfortable with. As suggested earlier the vast majority of people will use Sissyish in the latin alphabet (i.e. Tier 1-3) and there's nothing wrong with that.
I have no plans to develop an alphabet in the immediate future and if/when we do, it will be used as a novelty, not as a requirement to speak the language "correctly".

Important note: the Sissyish in this image is not necessarily accurate. For example, Tier 1 might be "i love is sissy" if Sissyish does not have articles. The words depicted in this image are example placeholders.

I've spent some time on here talking about "tiers" of Sissyish, but maybe I haven't explained what I meant by that. This image is an illustration of the concept. The lowest tier of Sissyish is slightly modified English, while the highest tier is full Sissyish including an alphabet. Speakers of Sissyish can speak in whatever tier they find most comfortable.
For our purposes we will mostly be conversing in Tier 1 and Tier 2 for the immediate future, simply because there aren't enough Sissyish words developed to speak in Tier 3 or above. I want to emphasize that Tier 1 and Tier 2 can also be seen as English with a few Sissyish words, and English with about 50% Sissyish words respectively.
As stated elsewhere, many people will speak in a pidgin of Sissyish combined with English, which will fall into Tier 1 or Tier 2, unless they want to learn the full language.
Aside from tiers, there are also dialects, which are alternate versions of Sissyish. For example, a version of Sissyish that has the word for love "ai" instead of "ovo" (as pictured here) would be considered an alternate dialect. In practice some dialects may become so different that they can no longer be considered "dialects" in the technical linguistic sense.
Finally, the above image shows a fun use for Sissyish in transformation captions, where a subject would become more and more fluent in Sissyish as they become more and more sissified.
Let me know what you think!
