Note how Rosie gets "lesbian" while Cara (the actual lesbian) gets "cis lesbian". It's a neat little linguistic trick they've managed to pull off there. "Don't complain about being called cis. It's just the opposite of trans", then they pull the old switcharoo and suddenly they're the women and it's the actual women who get a signifier.

Also isn't transwoman meant to be a no no word? Don't they always bitch about putting the space, because otherwise you're implying they aren't a "type" of woman?

before becoming a trans rights activist, one must become proficient in apologizing profusely. it's not a question of when you'll slip up and do something truly evil like forget the space in "trans woman," but when. You must repent.
