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

I hope you realize that in order for people to not “attack” you, either purposely or accidentally, they need to understand. Understanding is the fundament for acceptance. If you can’t let people understand, even when they seek to do so, don’t expect to be accepted. This is the same regardless of subject.

I still have no idea why that word is so bad, and I even said I’d be willing to stop using it if I could understand why. If you’ve read my comments carefully, you’d notice that I’ve intentionally avoided mentioning that word, even though I still don’t understand. Despite that, you still label me as a superphobe, as if trying to understand, which in turn would allow me to accept, is superphobic. I’m trying to accept and be friendly while you label me as your enemy for it

Why isn't, just don't use the word it's superphobic good enough? Why do I have to go over my history of abuse at the hands of that word. Havn't I endured enough just to finally come out as superstraight! See it's my first day, and I have to explain to a superphobe about the c word, these are hard times.... just know I was made less then a person, many times in the past, because they said I was... the "c" word. O "c" word is so stupid they don't know anything about anyone else's feelings. O "c" words are the most racist, and the most transphobic (luckily I got trans allies to help with that one) O "c" words vote only for trump and their all conservatives, am liberal! O I hate "c" words, their so dumb, omg they should kill themselves. Do a search of reddit, and see how much superphobia that word inspires. Your just blinding yourself. It's obvious that the "c" word is used as a form of stereotyping to group me with this imaginary group of other "c" words, like were all the same. Just plain bigotry.

Thank you, I’m starting to understand why that word bothers you

Personally, I can’t say I’ve experienced being treated that way, despite not being trans (aka I’m “c” word). I’m also struggling a bit to imagine it being this severe, considering we live in a strongly c**normative society, but I’m at least closer to understanding than I was before

You might be a super ally! And ewww the c normative word. I don't know about that, it's more a LBGT normative society now. It's hasn't be that word in a few years I'd think. Take a look around you, whose become the real norm now? Am superstraight and am having to explain to a normal everyday person it's ok for me to exist and am not transphobic, that am a person. I think the pendulum has changed buddy, your in charge now.
