Jingthing Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 7 minutes ago, connda said: What is a "cisgender gay man?" Cisgender and Transgender: The Difference Explained (webmd.com) The vast majority of gay men are cisgender just as the vast majority of straight men are cisgender. What Is Cisgender? Quote Cisgender, or cis, means that the gender you identify with matches the sex assigned to you at birth. Transgender is when your gender identity differs from the sex on your birth certificate. In Latin, “cis” means “on this side,” while “trans” means “on the other side.” A transgender woman had male genitals at birth but identifies as female. A transgender man had female genitals at birth but identifies as male. People who are straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or asexual and still identify themselves as the sex assigned to them at birth are cisgender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Are you trans-gender or normal gender?" No confusion there. I wish the people trying to force "cisgender" onto non-trans people would admit that they simply don't like the idea of calling the huge non-trans majority "normal". They also wouldn't accept it on the pronouns thing. People are having to specify normal pronouns because if they just say "normal" it would make people feel bad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Again cisgender is not a slur. If you're offended by it, that is really your problem. What does cisgender mean and is it a slur? | SBS News The word cisgender is not a slur, but Twitter owner Elon Musk has said it will be considered one on the platform. Mr Musk's comments come as online hate has massively increased on the platform, particularly against LGBTIQ+ and Indigenous communities, Australia's cyber watchdog said.

Could you rewrite that in "normal" English for me as it makes no sense what so ever. Just like the "Cis" word! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PremiumLane Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 11 hours ago, BangkokReady said: The point is that your argument is "Say what we want to avoid offending people, while we will call you what we want and if you're offended then we will mock you". It's completely hypocritical because your arguments are based on your feelings and do not use facts or logic. Did I say that argument? Or did you just make that up? You are the one that gets offended because people use a different pronoun to the one that relates to their biological sex. i.e. they are transgender and not cisgender And it is fact that sex and gender are not the same, and in fact science that sex is bimodal. I guess facts don't care about your feelings. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call yourself what you want, but don't expect me to keep up, understand, or use anything different that I wasn't taught in school over 50 years ago. Don't get offended if I don't comply to your silliness. Examples of a cis/trans dichotomy in reference to gender nonconformity go back as early as 1914 in German sexological literature. Yeah, I know you have a school grade understanding of biology and gender, it shows. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Maybe it is free speech but no valid reason to be rude Mis-gendering people is bordering on hate speech and in a rational country should be a legal offense.

Nothing such as forced language. Your intent is irrelevant to those you choose to purposely marginalize and exclude with overt or micro-aggression.

Yes, it's up to the State to penalize anyone that disagrees. The only way to have true diversity, equity and inclusion is to crush all decent.
