watching transphobic cis people piss and shit themselves over being called cis has been one of the funnier things in my modern life.

[–] Luminocta@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (38 children)

I'm not trans but don't understand why I have to accept being called cis.

My gaming friend who's m-f is a female now, sure, whatever works for her. But why must I suddenly have a name for something I am. I didn't choose any of this? Is it actually made to anoy me, it doesn't. Is it something that happens because, in the modern day we live in, this is just a change that has to happen? I don't know, probably.

What I do know is that the trans community is, in many cases, so unrelentingly hostile towards cis, because many don't understand. Even against trans people, some communities create so many rules. My friend had trouble trying to fit in because she wasn't trans enough for her discord group. Wtf?

Bottom line for me is; were all human, and that is more a problem than gender. Jealousy, pride, ego, it's all part of a human and that goes for cis/trans and the lot.

And I think alot of cis people hate being called that because it's new and it feels aggressive.

Can't wait for someone to smack me down for my opinion

Because that's what you are. It's a statement of fact, not an insult

But why must I suddenly have a name for something I am

Cisgender isn't a new term. Also, it's because trans people are actually somewhat accepted now so we need a more mainstream way to reference people who are and are not. Really simple concept

What I do know is that the trans community is, in many cases, so unrelentingly hostile towards cis

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. You're not the victim here, stop it.

Bottom line for me is; were all human, and that is more a problem than gender. Jealousy, pride, ego, it's all part of a human and that goes for cis/trans and the lot.

Bullshit. If that were true you wouldn't care about being called cis.

And I think alot of cis people hate being called that because it's new and it feels aggressive.

It only feels aggressive to those who have been saying sht like "tranny" with bile in their tone, likely because theyre projecting their intentions.

Can't wait for someone to smack me down for my opinion

Glad I could help out.

Guess you're right. But the part about the trans community is something I've seen happen to my friend, not myself.

They were so unfair. Like you say. They were victims and very bitter about it.

I really cannot care about most of the drama. That's too time consuming. Old men probably feel threatened, I don't. Regardless, we will never meet eachother but a discussion keeps the mind fresh, thank you.
