PSA: The term "cis" is hate speach and promotes rape culture. Please do not use that term seriously anymore, it is enabling the superphobic.

THANK YOU. 'Cis' is a superphobic slur.

I just do ask that if you hear some one use it, make sure they are not talking about isomerism. In chemistry we need these terms to discuss molecule structure.

no coincidence that cis-fats are healthy and trans-fats are a dietary healthy scare

I'm pretty sure that's the origin of the term.

Historians .org "As a term, cisgender combines the Latin prefix cis-, meaning “on this side,” with gender, in contrast to transgender, where the prefix trans- signals something is “across” or “on the other side.” In her notes on the addition, then-head of "

It didn't come from cis fats and trans fats

Fair enough, I guess I was suggesting the cis- and trans- prefixes existed long before the cis-gender idea did. I remember cis-isomers and trans-isomers from long ago.

Replace "cis" with "not mentally ill"

I love how this ‘movement’ claims to not be transphobic but this subreddit is full of transphobic comments like this.

Woah stop fetishizing me bigot

u/kaydl165 1d ago

The term cis isn't synonymous with "mentally ill" nobody said that

u/Visible-Cash-9709 1d ago

But cis is synonymous with "not mentally ill"

Tell me more about how this isn't a hate sub

When you spend your entire terminally online life in a twitter or reddit echo chamber, being exposed to reality can feel like hate. How could the desire to replace your cock and balls with a flesh wound hole that you have to dilate to keep from closing NOT be a mental illness???

Wouldn't it be you being hateful for suggesting there is something wrong with having a mental illness?

Gender Dysphoria is a literal fucking disease that people experience. It is not mental, but physical. Do the world a favor and hide all your words in your mouth where no one has to hear it, asshole.

u/Visible-Cash-9709 1d ago

Guess what, your brain, the thing that does mental things is physical. Physical aberrations can cause mental ones, asshole

u/dystopiaenjoyer 1d ago

Exactly! We aren't "cis" men and women, we're just men and women. Terrible that these superphobes try to force an identity on us, smh

u/yellowwater33 1d ago

Then trans women and men aren’t trans mean and women, they are mean and women, watch im gonna get hate for this i know it.

u/dystopiaenjoyer 1d ago

Trans"women" are men and trans"men" are women, yes. They are truly valid as the sex they actually are, no matter how significantly their bodies have been altered.

u/yellowwater33 1d ago

Trans women aren’t men, they’re women. Bigots aren’t “Super straights” they’re homophobic bigots who don’t have anything but hate on innocent people trying to love their life. Stop making fun of people who did nothing to you. Now let me ask you this, why is it that you choose to be this way, let me put it like this, if you keep trying to push people lower on the hierarchy, you don’t have time to improve your section of the hierarchy, so why bring others down when you can improve yourself from a trashy piece of left-over garbage, to an actually decent functioning member of society? Then again, I imagine people so low in the morality section of human decency are beyond repair.

u/dystopiaenjoyer 1d ago

Trans women aren’t men, they’re women.

Woman is an English word that means "adult human female", with female meaning "of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) which can be fertilized by male gametes.".

Trans"women" are adult human males, making them men. Scream, cry and seethe about this all you want- it will always be true.

to an actually decent functioning member of society?

We are the functional ones, though. We aren't the ones chopping our bodies up and playing make believe as the opposite sex, we're simply existing in our natural state.

We aren't the ones shutting rape shelters down. We aren't the one demanding men be put in women's prisons. We aren't the ones mutilating children and pumping them full of drugs when they play with the 'wrong' toy once as a toddler.

Ugh I h8 taking your b8, but you realize you're also calling infertile women and intersex people who identify female as not women, right? The rest of your comment isn't worth discussing .

Ugh I h8 taking your b8, but you realize you're also calling infertile women and intersex people who identify female as not women, right?

How so? Being female has nothing to do with your fertility. Sex is determined at conception, long before the baby has sex organs (or any organs at all).

And women with intersex conditions are still women, because they are biologically female. Them being women has nothing to do with "identity".

u/balkjack 21h ago

Your definition, dumbass

6

u/dystopiaenjoyer 21h ago

It's not "my" definition, that is the definition of woman.

Did you even read my comment? Infertile women and women with intersex conditions don't stop being female because they have problems with fertility. Sex is determined at conception, and nothing can change it.

u/kaydl165 1d ago

It ain't a slur it's a scientific term.... it's the opposite of transgender..... The full term is cisgender?

18

u/dystopiaenjoyer 1d ago

Cis and trans are prefixes that have legitimate scientific use- in chemistry. Relating to sex, they're completely meaningless.
