[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Transgender person here! (Probably the only one on this thread) You all are straying too far from the original topic, Mace being unprofessional and rude, to needlessly bash on trans people. Just to clear things up: cis is not a slur, it's a Latin prefix meaning "on this side," opposite of trans, meaning "on the other side." Comparing Mace's childish use of an offensive slur to a Latin prefix is one of the most privileged opinions I have seen today. You are not oppressed for being cis. :roll:  [/quote]

Again with the entitlement. [/quote]

How am I entitled?[/quote]

Women: People are using “cis” as a slur, using it to threaten us, we consider it is a slur.

Transgender poster: “Cis is not a slur.” Proceeds to call women who have said they consider it a slur “cis.”

If that isn’t profound entitlement, I don’t know what is. And for what it’s worth, I agree with you about Mace. She is being unprofessional and rude. But you are also being rude, and extremely entitled.

[b]I haven't called anyone here cis. I haven't been rude or called anyone names.[/b] In my personal experience (personal!!! not saying you need to feel this way too!!!) I have never seen anyone threaten someone by calling them cis, or use cis in a demeaning way, or make fun of someone for being "cis". If you have personal experiences of this happening, feel free to share.[/quote]

You literally wrote “You are not oppressed for being cis.” That is objectively calling people here who have said they consider “cis” a slur by that slur.

And that is calling names. When you address someone by a term they have said is a slur, that is calling them names. I will never use the t-word because some (not all) transgender people consider it a slur. I consider cis a slur. And it is often used as one. Many, many women feel the way I do. If you choose to keep using it, you are no better than Mace. [/quote]
