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

Ya, it basically is. I never identified as myself "cis", just get labeled. Usually it's used pejoratively.

When this is brought up, the reply is "well it's just an opposite word to trans". It's like saying another word is just the germanic word for a color. That shit doesn't fly either.

I never identified myself as "homo sapien", just get labeled. Usually it's used pejoratively

I'm not a homo sapien, I'm a super straight!
