Flagging…

as so often in these cases, people who are offended by anything and everything don't seem to mind offending others whilst also deciding whether someone has the right to be offended by what they say - as gammon refers to elderly white men then it's both racist and ageist - cis is also deemed offensive - so whilst you're preaching about what offends you please be aware that you are also offending people with the language you use - unfortunately this is how todays intolerant virtue signalling society works - it's not all one way as some would like it to be

 

Please lock it. This is going nowhere.

 

fully agree

 

Honestly Steven, I don’t want to be an arse about this but can we skip the labelling bit? I’m not cis, I’m not non-cis. I don’t buy into gender identity politics. In the same way I wouldn’t accept being labelled a heathen by devoted Christians - it’s not my belief system.

I’ll do my very best to respect how other people wish to be addressed, referred to and named. I’d appreciate the same courtesy.

 

I'd genuinely never heard the term cis used until about a month or so ago by a trans activist. I'd spent my life by the sounds of it wrongly presuming I was just a bloke

 

Please don’t.

This is possible the best thread I ever started.

 

I say let it run it's course.It's not compulsory viewing

 

You say that as if cis is something other than what you said? If you instead said you "weren't trans" is that "worse"?

 

Was? What have you done HT2?

I've always been a bloke and always will be..Not my fault I'm an ugly bastarding one

 

I want to be a cis woman.

**** it, I am.

 

Do you have to try and pick a fight or cause an Argument with everyone and everything, I'm not saying and didn't say anything was better, worse or the same as anything or anyone else, I just said until very recently I'd never even heard the term Cis and that I'd considered myself a bloke. but it seems that I was wrong and now I should label myself Cis man/male/bloke etc to be using the correct term.

 

Join the club on the ugly front haha

 

No mate, it’s not and I’ve long given up reading this topic in any sort of depth.

I’m never one to want to control the narrative as there’s many an interesting and difficult discussion to be had over gender and sexuality. However, seeing your life and freedoms reduced to various strawmen arguments and nonsensical discussions is not great to be honest. Especially when it’s all pointless as no-one is listening to each other anyway.

 

I was asking a question on the topic of the thread. I'm sorry if you didn't appreciate that.

 

I'm perfectly comfortable with the assumption I made.

 

Or politics…

 

People identify as lots of things for no reason and demand to be taken seriously.

Like Syd identifying as a city fan.

 

Ok

 

Flippant joke.

 

Just a city fan or a cis city fan?
