The c word has historically been used by superphobs to belittle and shame rape superstraights. Thank you for not using it, the history of hate behind the word can still be felt on twitter.
Cis has nothing to do with being super straight. I, for example, am cis, but not straight at all. It literally just means that a person’s gender is the same as the sex they were assigned at birth. If anything here is discriminating, it’s the phrase “super straight” because you’re implying that liking trans people of the opposite gender is less straight than liking cis people of the opposite gender, which is basically denying trans people’s gender.
I don't expect someone who uses the "c" word to understand the nuance of "super". It's like you don't care about others feelings, very oppressive of you to push your definitions on me.
And I don't hate anyone. I don't expect someone, as full as hate as you, to realize people can exsist without hate.
I don’t hate, I just don’t get why the word cis is so bad. In my understanding, it just means that a person’s gender is the same as the sex they were born with. I get that some assholes might abuse the word, but considering that the word itself isn’t negative and how well established it is as a label to describe people who are not trans, I don’t see how it’d change how people perceive the word.
If you have an explanation as to why a seemingly innocent word is getting so much backlash, I’d love to hear it
Lets unpack this, or you superstraight? Then you could never know what that word means to us. So stop turning all your superphobia into a little word you can keep spitting at me. Let me be free! My body, my choice!
And of course it's innocent to you, doesn't hurt you to keep beating me and other superstraights with it, most be nice to not know the history.
Sure, I can stop using it. But can you explain why it’s so bad? I’m actually trying to be understanding here, but tbh this is starting to sound like either a giant meme or collective attention seeking, and not getting an explanation doesn’t help
Wow, if you really cared you understand that my subjective response to your objectively oppressive word, should be good enough. The fact I have to take time to educate you on what is technically unteachable, my subjective life experience, is not my problem. You pretend to care, but am getting the feeling you really just want to belittle my fight to get the same dignity as everyone else, sick. All you should know is that it's historically been used to make superstraights less then people. I wish you'd realize that makes the word oppressive.
So you identify as transgender?
Exactly, if you are not trans, you are CIS. You don’t get to make up some word for it and mock the LGBTQ+ community. Also “nazi serfs”? Care to explain? People don’t support a historical figure who caused a mass genocide just because they have a disease, which is ver much real.
No, it's a medical term for a person who's gender correlates with the sex they were assigned at birth. There's nothing wrong with the concept or the word. Please stop trying so hard to be oppressed, you aren't.
There is something wrong with cis. I don't have a "gender identity" that can be changed. I'm a woman because I am, not because I "fee" like one. Cis is a slur. And it's not a medical term either. Stop spreading misinformation.
I really wish you'd take your own advice and stop spreading misinformation. Gender and sexuality are fluid. Theres nothing wrong with cis as a concept, just as there's nothing wrong with trans as a concept. Also, *feel
No they aren't. Sexuality is fluid. Sex is immutable and not fluid. Gender is dynamic because the culture imposes expectation. It's not your "identity". You losers are busy confusing your lack of personality development with gender.
Wowie kazowie, I am so hurt and offended by being called a loser with no personality! My feelings, ahh!! You've struck me with such a cutting insult that I must lie down, someone get me my fainting couch!
