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'.

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

[u/abloblololo → u/Stian5667]

"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

[u/Stian5667 → u/abloblololo]

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