[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i'm cisgender and in no way consider being called cisgender offensive.  It's like being called heterosexual, which I also don't think is offensive.[/quote]

Okay, but you don’t get to speak for everyone. I’m a registered Democrat who voted for Harris, and I find the word profoundly offensive. Why? Because it is, in my view, a religious slur. I am not part of and do not believe in gender ideology, and I do not want to adopt its religious tenets, nor do I want to be referred to using the derogatory term that adherents use for non-believers. There are many terms that religious groups use to insult (and provoke violence against) outsiders. I am not going to repeat the most vile of them here, but consider how the term “infidel” is used by some religious groups. “Cisgender” is just another version of “infidel.”

And the point is that even if you disagree with me completely, as is your right, there are many people—many of whom did not and would never vote for Trump—who consider the term cisgender to be extremely and deeply offensive. So, why is it acceptable to keep using the term? [/quote]

....You are this disturbed at being called "cis"?  Amazing.  Would you be ok with "not trans"?[/quote]

Why is this so hard for you? Cis is a slur and is used as one. “Not trans” is descriptive language inasmuch as “not Catholic” is descriptive, in both cases not being slurs. Therefore, using cis is not okay, while saying “not trans” is okay.[/quote]

I see "cis" in the same category as "white", which by itself is just descriptive.  It's not a slur.[/quote]

Okay? And I disagree completely, and consider it a profoundly offensive slur.

And now that you know many women find it offensive, you’ll stop using it, right? [/quote]
