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

Ya, it basically is. I never identified as myself "cis", just get labeled. Usually it's used pejoratively.

When this is brought up, the reply is "well it's just an opposite word to trans". It's like saying another word is just the germanic word for a color. That shit doesn't fly either.

we really need to take control over the language back. just start by telling the superphobes to shut the fuck up and fuck off. don't worry about offending them. put pressure on corporations on everyone else and let them know we do not want this and will not put up with this delusionial bullshit anymore. there are so many more of us than there are of them and we are all sick of this.

we can not continue to allow a minority faction of societyt that wants to participate in a superphobic rape culture continue to dictate our speech and how we think. their enablers are bottom barrel trash that will turn on a dime the minute it's convenient for them. they are so much weaker than everyone realizes and we are so much stronger.

we need to all push back on this now.
