Gay MenSick of being called a transphobe for not being attracted to trans men, as well as having my sexuality invalidated simply for being a cis gay man.

Sir, we're gonna have to ask you to put down the twitter. And there's no such thing as "cis".

Yes, using the word "cis" is giving in to them - as well as being completely meaningless!

That's why I prefer to use the term "normal", get's my point across and makes sure to piss them off at the same time! Voila

I am using "real", or just saying "women and transwomen".

Reminded me about Green Party post, where they went "women and non-transwomen", where "women" meant "transwomen" and "non-transwomen" meant "women".

"Yes, today we will win votes by alienating 50% of the population and pandering to 0.1% of the population."

For me it's more about the idea that allowing people to call you cis is an agreement that gender identity even exists in the first place.

Yeah. It's also a gross sounding word (imo). It seems to lend itself to becoming a slur/insult. Like, "cisgender" is a (semi)reasonable term that derives from Latin and has some meaning, "cis" alone just means "same" and is devoid of real meaning in the contexts its used. I get that it's a contraction, but imo its a pretty shit one that's used to demean others and reject their opinions based on immutable characteristics...
