Who doesn't play well with others? The trans community.

Who is being attacked? Anyone who's not the trans community or their allies.

Trans are the real bullies.

Most of the trans women getting murdered are getting murdered as sex workers. Sex work is a dangerous line of work. I don’t hear you speaking for the women sex workers getting murdered, just concerned about trans?

You also don’t seem to care about the women being bullied out of their locker rooms, bathrooms, jails, prisons, sports etc. by males who want to be women. You seem to care more about those male bullies then those females.

How are trans being excluded? They have the same human rights as everyone else.

Have you heard of the word, “terf” to describe women who speak up for their privacy and safety? Have you seen the trans activists spitting on them, threatening to rape and kill them? Throwing things at them?

Who are the haters and the bullies again? You seem really confused.

Not for a microsecond do I mind being called "cis". It's simply a non-disrespectful shorthand for cis-gendered, just as "trans" is a non-offensive shorthand for transgendered (Now "t****ie" is offensive toward TG/TS, hence not appropriate in even impolite company).

Calling someone a cis woman is long hand if anything when woman works just as well.

I am not offended by the term "cis" so much as I find it unnecessary and woke. Leftists use the term "cis" to imply a dysfunction to normal women and men that doesn't exist. I am not offended, just angry that people let them get away with it.

Political correctness began in earnest during the early 1990s, and the Left hijacked the entire language, redefining terms to suit their agenda, forcing the use of their terms while bannishing the use of terms that opposed their agenda. We let them. We didn't know how to fight back and still keep our jobs, stay in line for promotions, not have our children expelled from school, etc.

I'm offended in the sense that you think what I do in my mind, heart, and home is any business of yours - and that what you do is anything I care about. MYOB could not be more applicable than n the realm of sexuality. Why is it so important that I know what YOU like? I truly do not care. Really. No one cares. But SOME PEOPLE care about being asked and find THAT part offensive.


I just don't care. Truly. I don't. So keep it to yourself, in the same way I don't care about your bowel movements, or your foot odor, or the tattoo on your a$$, or your tendency to snore, or 1000 other things, both good and bad, that, frankly, are no one's business but yours. No need to (over)share. Why - on this one issue (sex) - is it necessary to share?

I think I might actually be a little offended. It's like they're assuming we've bought into their world of 'woke'.

The cisgender label implies that there are two equal types of women and two equal types of men, trans and cis, rather than acknowledging that women and men are the norm and that trans are trying to be the norm but can’t because they can’t change their biology, not with surgery, not with hormones, etc. The cis label is a way to try to change what women and men are, which is biological adult human females and males, not feelings.

That's for sure. And it's even worse when the bandwagon wokesters attempt to mandate the insanity, through legislation ( which carry the threat of fines, imprisonment as a penalty as consequences of not using the preferred pronoun, designations) and ostracism ( job loss, public shaming) for not complying with the insane rules.
