The only people who use CIS are those who have spent way too many hours in Gender/Social Studies courses at College/University for degrees of dubious worth, while downing The Intersectional/Identitarian Kool-Aid by the gallon, while at the same time lumbering themselves with student loans they expect someone else to pay off.
I'm conservative and I've never been to college I just use the term cis because I'm transgender
I don't accept the usage of the prefix for that purpose because I don't believe in the ideology behind it. The prefix does have valid usage in other contexts like molecular chemistry.
What ideology?
Speaking of insults, why do latinos take such issue with latinx?
OH... does that answer your question pumpkin?
It's never gonna happen.
Latinx is a stupid made up word. Cis is an actual Latin prefix and the antonym of trans..
Yo latinx is not some stupid made up word it’s very important for both race and gender identification. people always have issue adopting a label that explicitly mentions they are an oppressor. That’s why people hate being called white or able-bodied it’s the same concept in extreme bc they like to make out trans people to be crazy bc they have no hearts or brains. Like they’re stuck in 1990s 4th grade science. If they read any actual science it supports trans people but they can’t accept that
@Chrissydamusicgirl There's no point in the word Latinx and it cruelly offends a lot of Spanish people
It’s annoying and I hate labels. It also seems to be most used by people who are not “cis” in a derogatory way.
I've never heard it used in a derogatory way
*shrug* works for me. When people are identifying as a gender other than that assigned at birth "cis" makes it easier to identify a birth identity, if that sort of thing matters to you.
I don't mind it in the medical sense or in a survey etc but I wouldn't want to hang out with someone who constantly needs to use fancy labels.
I don't constantly feel the need to use labels but if I have to say someone's not trans I say cis.
You don't have to say someone's not trans, just say when they are trans, problem solved
@Neko_Nya well when you're trans you do. As a cis person surrounded by cis people you don't but I do.
How do you feel about being called mental? Mental isn't a made up word or an insult it's simply just what you are! Why would anyone hate being called mental?
I think I'm special. 🥰 I think I'm a very special girl that God loves making and it makes him sad that my heart hurts so much every day! 🥺
I don't even know wtf that means. And you know what? I don't even want to know, nor do I feel like I'm missing anything.
If you're cisgender it means you're super lucky because God put you in the right gender's body!! I won't get to have the right body until I go to heaven 🥺
Sounds good. I'll stick with heterosexual and leave it at that.
I'm heterosexual too but I'm also transgender. You're heterosexual and cisgender! You're lucky! 😀
Its exclusively used by an ideology i oppose so i don't like being called that. I prefer biological if you need to make a difference.
I messaged you
Being called cis makes me feel like I’m being disrespected. It sounds like a Slur word. I don’t like it.
I don't feel the need to have a prefix to describe me as the same as I've been since birth and unchanged, and the same as most people in the world. Why would I need a label to describe me as normal and in the majority.
I'm a man. That's all.
Anyone who feels the need to add their linguistic diarrhoea can
-well -
''cis my arse'' :)
Hey Anon, you don't sound very happy in the comments. If you need to speak to someone I'm here to listen if you want 💛
I don't like it. I was born a girl in a girl's body, with girl parts. I want to be called a woman, a girl, she, her, and nothing else BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I AM. It doesn't matter what I think I am. Facts don't care about my/your feelings.
The fact is that I feel like a woman
The face is that you are oppresing yourself by tying your womanhood to the ability to have kids. You’re giving cis men that fuel that power
I'm sorry you feel that way. That must be hard. However, it is not a reason to try to be something that your physically cannot be. For example, I have severe asthma that has almost killed me. If I deny that I have asthma just because I do not want it to be part of my, it doesn't change my DNA and cure my asthma. It is part of who I am, hard-wired into my body whether I like it or not. The only thing I can do is make the best of it, no matter how hard it gets when my friend and family can do things that I cannot. Just because I might want to deny something that is part of me, it doesn't go away. I'm not trying to be mean, judgmental, or disrespectful. I am simply telling you the truth. Happy Thanksgiving!
You want me to deny that I feel like a woman. Me constantly longing to be a girl didn't go away no matter how much I tried ignoring it. I was miserable pretending to be a boy. I hated everything about it, it all felt so fake and wrong. Now that I'm myself people think I'm pretending to be something I'm not. It's ridiculous.
@Chrissydamusicgirl No, the only person who has power over me is me. And even if I am "giving cis men power," why is that always a bad thing? I know plenty of men who are perfectly amazing humans who love and care about me and want what is best for me. Just because some men in the past [and some today] have done some bad things to women doesn't mean that every man in the whole world should have a bad rap. Don't hang out with men that will do bad things to you and that issue is solved. Also, I am not oppressing myself, as you say. The only way you or anyone else is able to bear children is if she were born a female with female parts. Denying that is denying facts. Any beliefs built on feeling instead of facts is shaky at best.
Have a wonderful day! :)
I cannot deny the fact that I have a chronic, life-threatening disease that is ingrained in my DNA, no matter how hard I try. So, instead of trying to deny it's existence, I acknowledge that I have asthma and move on with life. I make the best of it, even though I will be tied to a steroid inhaler and allergy medication every day of my life. I may not even get to be a pilot, which is my dream, if I do not pass my 3rd class medical examination, which I have to pass in order to be a pilot. However, if that is not what God wants me to do, than I will make the best of it and find something else to do. I am suggesting that you should accept the body you were given, because it was fearfully and wonderfully made by a God who loves you {but just because He loves you, it doesn't mean He will accept your choices and be fine with them], no matter what you do, and make the best of it. There are pros and cons of being both genders. Neither is particularly better or worse. I'm sorry that this is difficult and hard for you. I wish you didn't have to deal with these feelings. But since you do, you could maybe try to talk to God about it. He will help you with whatever you need. Maybe you need His help feeling good in the body He gave you, help you realize that you are special and that He loves you.
Everything you said is true and I do need God to help me it's just a shame that you wrote this surf this jn a lowkey anti trans
It's not anti-trans, it's pro-facts and it's real life. Have a great evening!
God isn't going to make me want to be a man
Sorry this took so long to get back to. Had a BUSY TG. I hope you had a good one too! :)
Any who, God wants you to be happy with who He made you, and in the body He gave you. God doesn't make mistakes. If He did, He wouldn't be perfect. He put you in the body He wants you in because that is who you are made to be. Yes, there trials in our lives that are hard and not great to go through. (My dad almost died in a horse wreck in August. It wasn't great and it was so hard. But I got through it and am all the better because of it) But He says in 1 Cor. 10:13 that "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." It will probably be the most difficult thing you will ever do, but in the end it will be worth it! Well, I hope this helps. Have a great rest of the Holidays! Bye! :)
"God wants you to be happy with who He made you, and in the body He gave you"
I agree completely
"God doesn't make mistakes"
I never said I'm a mistake. God made me like this very intentionally
"He put you in the body He wants you in because that is who you are made to be."
Yes and I'm meant to be who I am! I'm not meant to be a man I'm just meant to be me!
"Yes, there trials in our lives that are hard and not great to go through"
Amen
"And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
Maybe I'm getting this part backwards but I read that to mean I can bear being in a male body and the way I endure it is through modern hormone medication.
"It will probably be the most difficult thing you will ever do, but in the end it will be worth it!"
You just described how I feel about transitioning. It was definitely worth it to no longer feel like I'm constantly acting as something I'm not.
Facts don't care about my feelings but the fact is that I feel like a woman. I'll never be a woman like you, but it makes me happy to live my life how it feels normal. Being a boy never felt normal and I hoped puberty would change that but after starting puberty I wanted to die!!!
Fact: you feel like a woman
Fact: your body is not a woman's body.
That is what I mean by facts don't care about your feelings. Just because you have those feelings doesn't mean the facts change.
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. (Psalms 139:13-16)
I believe that God made you a man, and He wants you to be a man. He wouldn't have put you in a man's body if He didn't want you to be a man.
God didn't make you have these feelings; He wouldn't ask you to sin. He can help you feel comfortable in your male skin.
Another reason I do not think it would be wise to do this is because about 78% of people going through these transitions commit suicide. This came from a person I know who has a family member going through these transitions. I am only saying this out of care for you. I am done with this conversation because I think we have each made our points. I hope you will reconsider all these feelings you have. You can overcome them, without having to change genders or what not. After this point, we will just be repeating ourselves.
If you go through with it, your whole life will be acting like something you cannot physically be. I'm sorry to say it, but it's the truth and some one needs to inform you about this.
I hope you have a great Christmas, as I will probably never run into you again. I wish you the best for the rest of your life! Bye!
I don't generally respect the opinion of losers seeking to marginalize normal people
How am I marginalizing normal people?
Calling people cisgender is inherently a way to marginalize normal people. You make them into an other by labeling them your unique category and then dismiss them based on that
To be clear my comment was not directed towards you specifically. Though if you are someone who addresses others as cisgender then you may be taking part and what I'm talking about
To me cis people are an other because I'm not cis. Cis people certainly aren't marginalized for being cis, I don't even know any other trans people in person.
Course they are, just look at interactions between those who use it and supposed cisgender individuals. That's exactly what the term is used for and there is basically no other use for the term
I use the term cis to say someone isn't trans.
Cool. You're not who I'm talking about then
I don't need a word to describe me being ""normal"", it seems a bit weird to specify.
That said, call me what you want, I don't care, I'll do the same.
Well you understand as a trans person calling you normal would make me feel bad, right?
And we should care why exactly?
It's a fact, isn't it? Most people aren't trans, that makes you the exception and us the normal, by definition.
The problem isn't the label, the problem is that you feel a need to label. You're not a transgender to me, you're just another human. To you, I shouldn't be "cis" or anything you want to call me, I'm just me. Labels mean nothing.
Precisely, stop trying to divide with labels and "other" names
Because we already had a word for Cisco its called normal. And we already had a name for trans people it was called abnormal. Stop making up bullshit words
That's very mean
So what, I don't care
Because cis is a silly concept because sex and gender are immutable. Any 'trans man' just legally mutilated their vagina or is just a guy claiming he's female. and vice versa.
Bruh you're 14. I'm not getting in a transphobic argument with a child. I started my transition when I was 14.
First time I heard the phrase I was happy to know there's a word for it too.
Play with words created by people that has to much time over to let their minds dwell in their twisted nonsense instead of contribute with something constructive that make our society develop forward.
