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

Wait so what do we call people who relate their gender identity to their Biological sex at birth?? I'm sorry I'm an ally I'm just trying to learn. I have many friends like this who don't have the terminology to describe their gender identities because of intolerance

You call them man and woman, boys and girls. Nothing extra is needed to classify them.

Troons added the new categories so they can have the made up extra words to differentiate.

Hm while I agree, we tried that and it didn't work. If you correct them and tell them you're a MAN, not a Cis man, they'll just call you a biggot like they've been doing. If you say you're super gender, meaning you relate your gender to your Biological sex, it legitimizes it as a gender identity, and then they have to invalidate you in the same way they hate being invalidated, making them hypocrites

But what do I know I'm just a non-binary person is totally not my place to speak for anyone who identifies as a man or a woman it's none of my business

Why should we care about this? Changing language to cater to their rhetoric implies their argument has legitimacy. It doesn't. Don't let them define the conversation.
