I just have to laugh when I see "cis" used.
That's like using the term "Black Crow" to describe the vast majority of crows, simply because a "Blue Crow" [1] exists, yet consists of a very tiny fraction of all crows.
Let's say 99% of crows are black. Then there's no need to call them "Black Crows" as there's a very low probability you'll need to point out the color of the crow.
Just say "Crow". Or "male" / "female". No need to throw in "cis" unless you're simply trying to demonstrate your conformity to the new fad of wokeism.
In which case, ya lost me as someone who will take you seriously.

- rupertius00 5y agoThat's a bit silly, especially given the context. If I were talking about black crows, in a conversation referring to blue crows, it might be relevant to be specific and say "black crow". Regardless, why would you dismiss someone's entire opinion based on something so insignificant as that? "I want to buy a widescreen TV" "You idiot! 99% of TVs are widescreen, let's stop talking now as I can't take you seriously." Also your stats are wrong. According to the census, it's more like 8-9% of US citizens self-reporting as homosexual/queer [1].
