violently cries and sobs

This thread is such a microcosm of today's discourse.

Everyone attributing malice to anyone they don't agree with, everyone looking to dunk on people and up votes / down votes piling on in batches based on trends.

It is possible to not immediately be on board with new terms without being a bigot. Sometimes it's just a misunderstanding or lack of knowledge or sometimes just preference.

I've said it before I will address people as they wish to be addressed. If somone has been called a straight male for all their life and they want to be called that it changes nothing for me. Calling them a bigot is counterproductive and just causes divides for no reason.

I am cisgender

I don't understand why that's a bad thing?

I don't understand a lot of this political gender shit tbh. I'm just chillin

Norm has wise words on this topic

TIL ‘41’ has a long history as a slur for homosexuals

I'm cis. I'm a cis man with a exclusive sexual interest in cis women. I find the term very helpful to express very clearly who I am and what I want. I can't imagine being so delicate as to lose my shit over being called cis.

watching transphobic cis people piss and shit themselves over being called cis has been one of the funnier things in my modern life.

Imagine we joked about cisgender men suicide rates the same way we joke about transgender suicide rates.

Plus this statistic is flawed. It comes from an older study that does not even compare pre- to post- transition.

41?

I think I'm missing something with "41" is it some kind of dog whistle?

Pardon my ignorance, but what does cis mean?

Cissy boy

What?

This always makes me laugh. Somewhere after 2000 I had my gender and sexuality renamed by a really small, small part of the population. Who gets offended as hell if I say I don't care for it. I can easily make them mad as hell just by mentioning a few thing they don't like but can't be argued. But somehow my dislike of their renaming me is not justified but their presumption to do so for everyone is.

My problem is not with the remedy to a serious issue of body dysphoria. Nor with people practicing something that is well within their rights, especially if it helps their condition which research shows is amongst the most effective. Individuals should be free to do anything they please with the caveat it doesn’t affect other people.

And I am not talking about hate from transphobes, fuck those guys. I am speaking from a well established scientific fact that sex is very much a concrete inherited attribute decided by combining two genders of DNA at conception. Organic life as we know it is more effective in the fight of evolution when more than one gender is required for reproduction.

I will fight for the integrity of truth with no exception. It is NOT possible to change genders, nor race, nor animality. I would love to become a tree but will have a hard time realizing that dream. We can still be accepting without compromising the power of truth. End of rant, thanks for reading.
