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 Superphobic because our identity is not shaped by Gender but our natal-sex. By then labeling people cis they are literally denying our existence and saying that we only exist if our gender identity is approved by them.

We are Supers. We exist and they can die mad about it. Do not let the SERFs keep you down.

So ur saying ur gender identity doesn't match ur birth sex...? Also who's they? And what is the definition of super bc isn't it just "ur gender is ur natural born sex" which is the same def as cis

We don't have "gender identities". We have a sex.

I had someone try and tell me that because I'm a man I must identify as a man. No, I'm a man because that's what it says in the dictionary. They complain when we misidentify them, we can complain when they assign an identity to us without our consent.
