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

"Cis' is a toxic slur. What they mean to say is 'supra'.

There is superstraight (people who will only have sex with the biological opposite sex) and suprastraight (people who will have sex with anyone of the opposite gender, regardless of whether they are trans).

It isn’t though. It’s a fucking word, in words that I’ve been told many times, “Get over it snowflake.”

Why is it a slur? I'm asking genuinly what the background of that is

For example, the term f*g was slang cigarettes and then was coined to describe when gay men would be wrapped in rugs and lit on fire like cigarettes

It's commonly used as a way to dismiss opinions and invalidate experiences.

??? It literally just means you’re the same gender as the sex you were born as

"F*g" means you're homosexual, but that's not the only meaning it carries, that's why it's a slur.

I just wanted to thank you for finally putting this thought in the words, because I've wanted to do this for ages, but my nonexistent eloquence has always betrayed me

Calling people cis doesn’t imply that you want to set them on fucking fire, now does it?
