cant stand feminists and this video shows why perfectly

@CatfishGoddess i dont know what "cis" is. that is a made up word

@Torsten Look it up. As a prefix it goes back to 1661; it wasn't born yesterday :D

@CatfishGoddess it was coined in 1994 to be exact. Nice try though.
I dont accept it as a actual word nor a way to label normal people

And the language doesn't depend on what you do or don't accept.

@CatfishGoddess and that goes both ways. Call the majority of people "cisgender" and see how they react. Most people dont accept that nonsense

@Torsten The word cisgender might have been coined in 1994, but the prefix cis dates back to the 1600s. Nice try.

[quote]Most people dont accept that nonsense[/quote]
Translation: that word hurts my fee-fees.

@LordShadowfire weird how you talk about respecting what others want to be called and all that but when it comes to others not acknowledging that label being attached to them. You and others dont accept that. Sounds like hypocrisy

@Torsten [quote] it was coined in 1994 to be exact. Nice try though. [/quote] Actually, people who study chemistry have been using cis- and trans- prefixes to describe different molecular isomers, and the terminology goes back at least a century.

The prefixes "cis" and "trans" are from Latin: "this side of" and "the other side of", respectively.

@ElwoodBlues maybe "cis" is with what you are saying but what about "cisgender"?

@Torsten To some of us in STEM, cis- is the logical counterpart to trans-

@ElwoodBlues key words being "to some of us"

@Torsten Language is a cooperative construction we all participate in. Feel free to coin your own terminology and get it accepted. Honestly I wish you the best of luck.

@ElwoodBlues again key word there being "cooperative"
I and the majority of people are not cooperating with have that nonsensical label attached to us to appease the few

@Torsten The majority of people may not know the term "cisgender" but if it is explained, they won't call it "nonsense"; they will understand that there needs to be terminology to distinguish between trans and cis people when that distinction is relevant. And that labelling people who aren't trans as "real" or "normal" is a hateful choice.

@Torsten [quote] I and the majority of people are not cooperating with [/quote] That's a statistical claim. I would guess "the majority of people" would consult a dictionary.

Oxford
[quote]In 2015, the Oxford English Dictionary added the word “cisgender” to its ever-evolving listing[/quote]

Merriam Webster
[quote]of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth[/quote]

American Heritage Dictionary
[quote]cis·gen·der (sĭs-jĕndər)
adj.
1. Identifying as having a gender that corresponds to the sex one has been assigned at birth; not transgender.
2. Of or relating to cisgender people.[/quote]

How about the French? They're pretty careful about letting new words into their language.
* [i]Je suis cisgenre[/i]
Spain is a conservative Catholic country.
* [i]Soy cisgénero[/i]
Portugese?
* Eu sou cisgênero
German??
* [i]Ich bin cisgender[/i]
Filipino???
* [i]Cisgendered ako[/i]

You've got a [i]long[/i] row to hoe, @Torsten

@Torsten [quote]majority of people[/quote]

@CatfishGoddess youre living in a bubble if you truly believe that

@Torsten You are living in a swamp apparently.

@CatfishGoddess better a swamp to a small bubble

@Torsten So, it doesn't bother you that you are now literally arguing with the dictionary?

@LordShadowfire i could care less what a dictionary may or may not say. I do not accept that label and never will.
Funny how much you all fight this yet at the same time claim people should respect others and call them as they wish

@Torsten Because the word cisgender isn't an insult. It just means you identify as your biological sex. Fuck. I'm cisgender, you're cisgender, the vast majority of the human population is cisgender. Why are you so scared of a simple word?

@LordShadowfire i take it as a insult.
okay hypocrite. dont come up to me with the shit you normally say and try calling me something i have very clearly said i dont accept .
I am a male. thats it

@Torsten As I showed with several dictionaries and several languages, the term is already widely accepted in the developed world. That doesn't mean it can't be banished though - other once common words have been banished.

You just need to build a compelling case for why you think it's inappropriate and get others to join you in a movement to banish it. Be careful though, you don't want to appear overly sensitive or people will laugh at you and call you "snowflake." Inciting laughter and ridicule will be very damaging to your case and your movement.

As I said earlier, good luck!!
