My first trans related thread, well more of a rant. So please be nice
Got into a 'debate' with someone on a Facebook page I follow about the term 'cis'. Apparently I'm no longer allowed to refer to myself as just female/woman. I am now a 'ciswoman'. So far I've been told:
- that the term 'cis' is a scientific term (oh how I laughed at that one).
- that as I'm not trans or non binary then I am a cis woman and that's that
- that I'm wrong for finding the term 'cis' offensive and refusing to accept being called it.
It's just infuriating. Why shouldn't I be allowed to refer to myself as a biological woman. I don't need a silly, shitty prefix to identify myself I'm a woman, we've existed since the dawn of time.
