Well, I'm deeply offended that someone has called me "cisgendered male". Can you folks stop using terms I have not agreed to also?

- da_big_ghey 6y agoI am agreeing with you in this problem. I have a large dislike for this term. The gays pick so many words on how to say about them. And we then get word placed on us. Also word that I heard only in derogatory contexts as to this day.
- Spivak 6y agoWait huh? It just means not transgender. That’s is. It’s exactly the same form as heterosexual. homo- same hetero- different trans- on the other side cis - on the same side

- Spooky23 6y agoSeriously. It sounds like some sort of disease.
- Spivak 6y agoOn the off chance you’re one of today’s 10,000. trans- is a prefix that means on the “opposite side of.” And so that’s where transgender came from. But then people wanted a term for people who aren’t trans and “not transgender” is awkward. So people looked and found that cis- is a prefix that means “on the same side of” and just went with that. Kinda clever honestly.

- Cerium 6y agoI would prefer to identify as male. I don't want to be trans, I don't want to be cis. I just want to be a male, and _ANYONE_ who wants to join me is welcome.
