Call me, specifically, "Cis X" or something and the intent would be to **** with me and to deny that would be dishonest.
Or how about this:
"You are a CIS X, therefore I assume X about you."
Basically all of that.That's a good point, too. What's the assumption that goes along with "cis"? Intolerant? Hateful? Shouldn't really have an opinion on any LGBT issues?
And I haven't even done that, so what are you constantly ranting about here?
You keep acting as if someone is following you around, calling you specifically "cisgender", just to insult you. So far, I haven't done that, nor have I seen anyone else do that to you on this or any other thread here.
I've said it before. I don't like the "cis" terminology. I use "trans" or "not trans". It's simple and descriptive. I tire of all of the scores of silly terms being used nowadays.
You have rather selective vision if you think it's been me whose been "ranting" in this thread. I don't like the term. I consider it an insult, especially now that I've been so repeatedly clear about it and for that I've gotten all sorts of ad hom attacks directed at me.
And even if you did see it, would you be right there to tell me that what they're doing is fine and I'm the one to be wrong to be insulted by it? You'd actually surprise me if you advocated that any of my personal preferences or requests should be respected.
Has it been done to you and in what context was it being done? Has someone been referring to you as "cisgender X"? Do you think it would not be any less insulting to call someone "transgender Bob" or "nontransgender Steve"?
The one showing the most emotion about the term seems to be you.
Why can you never just directly answer a question? Are you not confident in whatever direct response you'd give? Based on your tangent, I have no idea if think it fine to use "cis" with the intent to insult or not.
Again, your vision is selective, but I'll admit I did not really expect the fight this became along with this obvious, glaring double standard where you'd advocate for being respectful of the wishes of some but actively reject others. Double standards do have a tendency to drive me up the wall.
Just looking for the line. I thought there would easily be agreement that segregating bathrooms by gender was reasonable but, it turns out, it isn't. So now I'm wondering if folks think it would be reasonable to require that non trans people leave a bathroom if a trans person asks them to (and just for the time the trans person is in the bathroom, of course).
What if it's a situation where the stalls are missing doors or the doors don't lock?
