right forgot who I was talking about should have specified "cis". Wasn't there a period of time when society was all about rejecting labels and now others label us as "cis"?

Labels are only bad when they can't be used to designate who gets more oppression points uwu

"cis" is putting overwhelming majority as "subgroup", while it is never done like this.

So if there "table" as group, then subgroups are like "brown table", "wood table", "glass table", "big table".

And "cis woman" is like saying "table table" (or "man man", "woman woman") or "table like all tables", which makes no sense. Even if believe that "chairs are tables" and out of all tables only 0.5% are chars - you can't say about ALL tables as "cis tables", because they are already tables and you can only make subsets of them, "all tables" is not a subset, it is all tables and it does not need special naming. And if they believe that "TWAW"/"TMAM", just "women"/"men" should be enough. Women are not "non-transwomen", men are not "non-transmen", they are women and men.

Trans women are the real women, you're just a cis woman /s

"Cis" always sounds like "cyst" to me. Like something a doctor should remove. There are no "cis women" or "cis men" -- there's only women and men. We don't need a name for non-LARPers. If they want a prefix, let's put ACTUAL in front. Actual women. Actual men.

Yeah, I read another woman said that in a YT comment section. I always thought it sounded like "sis" 1st. Which is hilarious and doesn't help their case when they decide to use "cissy" as an insult... But, we all know damn well how they react if you used a term T slur that ends with the same y at the end.

Not even. Just women and men. As for them, they can get the prefix, although I always seen the prefix as making them out to be a type of woman/man (ex: black women, Muslim men, disabled woman/man, etc) when in reality they're not even close.

That is why I am writing it as one word "transwoman", "transman".

I've also started doing that. Also used the whole trans idenified male/female, but it appears they're trying to be funny with it by changing the definitions of it.
