Yeah, "cisgender" is a normal descriptive word, not a slur, and it's really quite strange that anybody would think it is
- jeffhuys 1y agoI would like not to be talked to that way, but I agree that it shouldn’t be a bannable offence (which it isn’t). But this comes down to opinion. Would love to discuss the 99% other content of my comment though.
- sjsdaiuasgdia 1y agoWhat about the word 'cisgender' causes you to not want it to be said to you?
- jeffhuys 1y agoThis is not something I want to discuss here, as we’re completely off-topic already. Rest assured I have nothing against Trans people.
- sjsdaiuasgdia 1y agoSo you're willing to make several posts about it, but not explain yourself?
- jeffhuys 1y agoThat seems to be a fair summary of what I’ve said, yes. I’ve already gone too far, as evidenced by us even having this discussion. I don’t want to discuss such private matters with you, here. I’ll have to explain myself over and over again and open up another can of worms that I’m simply not wanting to open. It is what it is.
- sjsdaiuasgdia 1y agoThat's certainly your right. Similarly, it is the right of anyone reading this exchange to speculate on why you have a problem with the word "cisgender", and why this question was the point when you chose to stop engaging.
- jeffhuys 1y agoAbsolutely! Speculate all you want. If, however, you want to speculate anything other than what I’ve clearly stated (I have nothing against Trans people + I don’t want to go on another unrelated/irrelevant detour) plus the fact I have to wait an increasingly larger amount of time to be ABLE to reply in this thread (currently 30+ minutes), that’s more telling about you than me, like you’re trying to fit me into some compartment that you’ve put loads of others in. It’s not that deep. I’ll stop engaging on this point here, now. :)
- aaaja 1y agoIt implies a sexist worldview. Just like using racial slurs imply a racist worldview.
