[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me put a different question to those here who think what Mace did was shocking and offensive.

Why do you insist on using the term “cisgender” or “cis” to describe heterosexual people?

It’s been made abundantly clear over the last several years that there is a large percentage of the heterosexual community, female and male alike, that consider the term offensive and a slur. Yet it’s still used as a defacto default term for heterosexual people. Why is this happening? You KNOW it’s an offensive term, but you use it anyway.

How is this ok? [/quote]

cisgender is not the same as heterosexual.  Gay people can be cisgender (and most are).[/quote]

“Cisgender” means traditional gender aspects and mannerisms consistent with sex assigned at birth, including masculine or feminine traits and social mores, and a sexual attraction to the opposite biological sex. Unless a gay man was only attracted to other  gay men who themselves are transgendered and identified only as heterosexual women, it would be difficult to suggest that that gay man was cisgender. [/quote] Ok, when is Cis affinity month ? And when is the parade ? Everyone else gets a parade, I want mine (because I’m special for being Cis).[/quote]
