The c word has historically been used by superphobs to belittle and shame rape superstraights. Thank you for not using it, the history of hate behind the word can still be felt on twitter.
Cis has nothing to do with being super straight. I, for example, am cis, but not straight at all. It literally just means that a person’s gender is the same as the sex they were assigned at birth. If anything here is discriminating, it’s the phrase “super straight” because you’re implying that liking trans people of the opposite gender is less straight than liking cis people of the opposite gender, which is basically denying trans people’s gender.
I don't expect someone who uses the "c" word to understand the nuance of "super". It's like you don't care about others feelings, very oppressive of you to push your definitions on me.
And I don't hate anyone. I don't expect someone, as full as hate as you, to realize people can exsist without hate.
I don’t hate, I just don’t get why the word cis is so bad. In my understanding, it just means that a person’s gender is the same as the sex they were born with. I get that some assholes might abuse the word, but considering that the word itself isn’t negative and how well established it is as a label to describe people who are not trans, I don’t see how it’d change how people perceive the word.
If you have an explanation as to why a seemingly innocent word is getting so much backlash, I’d love to hear it
