You’re c** if you feel comfortable with the gender identity that matches the gender you were born with. So if you’re born a woman and you live as a woman, you’re described as c**. The prefix doesn’t come out in terms of trying to insult or denigrate, it’s simply a term to describe non-trans people. The issue is that some LGB people do struggle with gender identity, so there are some legitimate concerns within the community that it isn’t representative of everybody, which is fair enough and something will inevitably come up that’s better.


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

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.
 
I say let it run it's course.It's not compulsory viewing:emoticon-0148-yes:

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.
