I won't stop using it. I think it's bullshit. I'm honestly sick and tired of the language police trying to change society because they are somehow offended by a word that is non-offensive.
The word "cis" and "mansplaning" are both pejoratives..and it offends me. But it doesn't stop those same people who don't like the word "guys" from using it (and making it normal).
This is my problem with the entire discussion about this. It's not about removing offensive words or "equality". It's only about giving power to one group of people. The politicians love it because whenever there is an US vs Them mentality, they can take advantage and win votes.

- ZeroGravitas 11y ago"cis" isn't a pejorative in any sense I've seen it used, can you expand on why you think it is?
- GFK_of_xmaspast 11y agoIt's as much a pejorative as 'hetero', which is to say not at all.
