The concept of gender being 'cis' or not - and those abhorant 'pronouns'

They're popping up everyhere - definitions of gender being 'cis' or not - and those vomit-inducing supa-mega-hypa-ultra-woke 'gender pronouns'.

We're both bi/les (depending on day of the week - lol) but we don't need to have 'special' words to 'describe' us. We're women - big whoop tilly doo dilly.

The term cisgender was coined in 1994, so it’s been with us a little while. There’s a lot about transgenderism that still confuses me, but I’m not anxious to upset anyone about it if I can avoid it. It costs me [b]nothing[/b] to use the pronoun someone asks and treat them with the same respect I’d show anyone else. I’m old enough to remember when the APA realized that homosexuality wasn’t a mental illness. So I’m guessing there’s a learning curve [b]here[/b], as well. 🤔

@bijouxbroussard The wierdest to understand is non-binary people who claim they must be addressed 'indirectly' - ie. they them etc. which is just queer (sic) when talking to a person face to face. The person is still one person (physical entity) regardless of their gender identity or sexuality or how many different personalities are claimed to 'inheret' the one body - ps this seems to align with the 'two spirit' concept.

@mksworld Ah. I’ve been lucky in that I haven’t encountered much of that at this point. If I were in danger of forgetting, perhaps I’d just call them by the name they were using.

Is that what the 'C' stands for on peoples avatars. Cause I'm Australian and here the C word means something different...

@mksworld i respect you for your honesty and desires. Some people who identify as female but chromosomally are male may feel uncomfortable with the pronoun. To avoid anyone feeling uncomfortable, i am learning to use the term they ask me to use. This has been going on fir decades, but only in the last one, has it risen to the surface. I first encountered a genetic, chromosomal, make who had the feminizing testes syndrome as it was called at the time. It was awkward speaking to "her" knowing chromosomally she was a male. Now that topic is open to discussion, thankfully.

@samueltyler2 If you are chromasomally 'male' then you are 'male'.

@mksworld better definitely be make! Look up the sydrome of feminizing testes. Once you do and understand it, rethink your comment.

I think only in certain situations would"cis" be necessary. In everyday context it just isn't really needed.

People get upset over pronouns or labels but it could be worse. Well like in 1% biker gangs, the genders are "male" and "property".

If nothing else, they provide me with some random laughter throughout the day.

Indeed. I've announce my position on this subject many times:

Identify how you want. I will call you whatever you wish, as long as you answer to it. However, I identify as a man, or male, I am not "cis-gendered", and do not identify that way. Do not call me "cis".

I'm honestly surprised how many people take offense to this. But that just lets me know I am not dealing with rational actors here.

@MalteseFalconPunch Ours are sex/see

fakable · T

the prefix "cis" was added to the term "gender" by a female psychologist as a special term for biological women. in her scientific work on transgender people this action was justified. as a commonly used term it is unnecessarily.

Why would I speak in a respectful manner to anyone who tries to invalidate others? @SumKindaMunster

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@Imsleepy Why would someone's choice of words or beliefs "invalidate" you or anyone? You exist, and your life and beliefs are your own, no one can take that from you.

mksworld · 46-50, C

@Imsleepy Well we are both women so yes we are a couple of - as you termed - cunse. We both have those miraculous devices called self-cleaning sex machines. So that's two cunse and four majestic mammaries, and no pronounisms are necessary.
