Been calling my sister "sis" all her life. Without even realizing I was doing it, I probably subconsciously programmed her to have a happy, productive life as a normal woman. You're welcome, sis.

To this day I have no idea what cis means despite hearing it several times including the definition, my brain refuses to retain this useless information.

"I used to call every body in high school gay " ...man that brings back memories !! 😊

I always use the traditional term..."normal".

Preach it, cis-ter! Fight the cis-tem!

I usually use the prefixes "cis-" and "trans-" is when I'm referring to certain chemical compounds.

It's not hate speech as long as they are the one's doing it.

[KentoLeoDragon]

The only time I've used cis is when referring to the space between Earth and moon which is called cis lunar space. I was so confused when trans types started using cis derogatively about non-trans people, which is like, virtually almost everyone.

I long for the days we just called all weird shit queer... and it had nothing to do with human sexuality.

Me being a certified Auld Phart, I despise psychobabble like "cis". It is utterly meaningless.

"It's gets better." was a sweet dig.

Lmao 😂😂😂 they’re actually gonna have to make un-ironic PSAs like this in 5 years from now

It is so rude and disrespectful calling straight people "cis" or calling women birthing people and chest feeders!! It's also very disrespectful to the mother who gave birth to that person.

"Have you heard of 'cis-gender'? It's just another way of marginalizing normal people."

[MarxIsDeadAndRotting]

Indeed. It is a hateful slur. We prefer to be called "normal".

[LM-drdz]

When I first heard that word 'Cis' I thought it was sis' as in sister, lol!

[kingknight_real]

I honestly can’t think of a time the term “cis” has ever been used in a positive light

[johnqpublic]

Crazy how "straight" had to be slurred to cis, as straight seems to have the connotation of regular normalcy...

If they Control what you say then they are controlling what you think.
