    They are insulting to me and offensive therefore no one else can use them. Never.

    That's how it works you know.

    I am not a "cis" I am a male, a man in my stage of human life. I need no other segregating descriptor.

    And the word re **** came from Latin as well..

    Origin

    late 15th century: from French retarder, from Latin retardare, from re- ‘back’ + tardus ‘slow’.

    So is calling someone that Latin word offensive?

    I assume you’re joking, but in case you’re not, why do you find “cis” or “cisgender” offensive?

    It’s just a Latin preposition meaning “on this side of” as opposed to trans which means “on the other side of.”

    Doesn’t bother me. It’s pretty common parlance and not used in a way that refers to the mentally disabled.

    It would bother me as much as someone calling me any number of four letter pejoratives, but I wouldn’t be bothered because I thought the person was being insensitive to the mentally disabled.

    its been brought up several times.

    Its offensive because the father of the gender ideology was a pedophile sexologist who forced child siblings to have sex with each other all while he and his creepy psychologist buddies watched.

    Also it has been brought up that the person who coined the term cisgender did so because the word "normal" marginalized trans people, so the new term would be a downgrade term from "normal" so as to not trigger people..

    That’s an origin fallacy. I don’t care who came up with the terms or what they did.

    From a purely utilitarian perspective, the terms Cis and Cisgender are far more useful than the term Normal considering what is being described.

    Let’s put aside for a moment any negative/triggering associations with the term to consider the following: If I say cis man, do you know what I mean without any further context? What if I say normal man? Do you have the same level of understanding without any further context? Probably not.

    My point was meant to counter your point, based on my perception, that retard held some sort of especially insulting status due to past associations with the mentally disabled.

    Maybe that’s not what you meant? If not, sorry for the misunderstanding.

    FFS, there is no such thing as "gender identity"!!! You are either male of female - biological sex, and then you are somewhere on a spectrum of masculine/feminine. An efiminate male is no more a woman than a masculine woman is a man. Same is has always been. The entire "trans" movement is a group of denigrate sex freaks wanting society to accept their perversion.

    Haven't I seen you use "Democrat Party" instead of "Democratic Party?"
    What's wrong with saying you're "cisgender?"

    cisgender
    cis·gen·der
    adjective
    adjective: cisgender; adjective: cis-gender; adjective: cisgendered; adjective: cis-gendered
    1. denoting or relating to a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex registered for them at birth; not transgender.
      "this newfound attention to the plight of black trans folks by primarily cisgender allies is timely and necessary"
    "Cisgender" is associated with pedophilia? Really? You seem to have picked up some screwy notions.

    They’re just perpetrating an origin fallacy about some researcher or another. They seem shaky on the details.

    Indeed. These folks are like the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dike, only they're trying to hold back reality. They live in the past.

    So we shouldn't describe you as "sane" because you're not mentally ill?
    Hohhh-Kayyyy...
    I bet you do. :roll: :roll:
    Everyone seems offended about something these days. If you aren't offended, you ain't workin' at it.
    I never use "cis" because I'm very deeply and greatly offended to my core by "pubs" and "dems."

    There is no other term for a male besides male. CIS is a made up term invented by a sick Pedo. Someone trying to redesignate NORMAL is rewriting language to pander to gender ideology. No thanks. Won’t entertain the mentally il.

    AND it doesn’t matter why someone finds something insulting. You HAVE TO accept it. That’s the leftist rule isn’t it? If a dude in a dress can be insulted by calling him a man, anyone can be insulted by anything:)

    Cisgender is an offensive word and I refuse to engage. It hurts women and girls to use a term that implies men acting stereotypically like women...are women.

    There is no "transwoman". The proper term is men.

    Normalizing sickness...by making room for "two" types of women is very offensive and misogynistic.

    I agree that a male is a male. My post wasn’t about cis/male. It was about cis/man. Hope that clears up your confusion.

    All terms are made up. That’s how language works. I don’t care who made it up, that’s an origin fallacy.

    We redefine and add words to our vocabulary as times change and utility is found in new words. This isn’t new. It isn’t isolated to this situation. Do you have a preference for when words should have stopped changing in meaning? 18th century? 19th?

    It does matter why a person finds something offensive. I’ll bet you agree with that. If you want to argue with someone that believes otherwise, you should do that. That’s not me.

    Normal Man. Can you tell me what I’m referring to and the concept I’m trying to convey?

    Are you saying that it is now the right being hysterical? I don’t disagree.
