Do we need a third term: not 'cis' or trans?

Sometimes I "translate" my points into trans activist language, but really only to point out the inconsistencies in their ideology. We don't need a third term, but we may need new words for actual biological sexual reproductive differences if we cannot resist trans activism demolishing the meaning of "sex" "male" and "female." But, if you are talking to someone who would likely bleed Kool-Aid if they got a papercut because they've been so immersed in this way of thinking, then you can say you are "agender" or maybe even "neutrois." I think that is their term for not having a gender identity at all. Incidentally, it would make you "trans."

Real

Someone has started a thread link8ng to this essay from a couple of years ago - I'd try to make any idiot trying to force 'cis' onto you or making a song and dance over their 'gender' (other than actual transsexuals) read it and try to refute it.

I feel your frustration, some of the trans crows fill me with despair especially the ones that actually believe you can change sex, I much prefer transexual but got grief at work for that as apparently some claim it to be offensive.
Go For the wigs, good ones can still be cheap enough and give a whole variety of looks without skinning yourself at the hairdressers.

Not aimed at you, I just decided it is a great idea, that's all.

Transwoman is good enough for me
I might adopt that if I'm pushed. I could identify as a transwoman. I'm an adult human female but they can't tell me I can't identify as a transwoman. I've read about them, I've met plenty, I can relate.
I feel like a transwoman. I'm a six foot tall muscular person in a much shorter woman's body and it would be nice if I could wear a wig and fishnets.
I'm going to claim awards on behalf of transwomen, I think. I might join a few of their groups. Transwomen have periods too! I mean, I do, and I'm a transwoman now, so it's true, right?
Please feel free to congratulate me on my stunning and brave status.

We must not give up the word woman. They can have gender and their nonsense. Woman they can prise from my cold dead hand.. they probably will

Transwoman is good enough for me, What I have noticed that those who shun the title trans and claim twaw are the activists.
Most rational trans do believe we are born male stay male despite our cosmetic/surgical changes and we do understand we aren't changing sex either.

Outside the binary you are a male/female impersonator?

In order to fight trans ideology, I think we need to show the trans vs cis binary for the nonsense that it is. We need to show that there are other ways to exist outside this binary. You can be agender or possibly antigender. Ungendered? What do you think

I think I see where you are coming from, but I'm a little lost as to the specific contexts in which you would use the word.

I'm 'gender critical', so that explains my ideological stance (prefer this is agender and antigender and anyway I think they already use agender).

Dunno OP - can you write a sentence or something as an example of what you mean?

Barracker, that was a brilliant post! What a perfect analogy for this whole nonsensical farce.

Nope. It's still an individualistic (ie false) solution to a collectivist problem, namely the oppression of women as a class because of shared biology. It bends the bars of a cage enough to let a single canary out, but leaves all the other canaries trapped behind.

I’m a gender atheist. No need to pick from categories when you don’t believe gender exists.

We never needed a word to define someone who wasn't emo or goth. When we had mods and rockers there wasn't a third category for people who were neither. Just tell us what you are - man, woman or trans. There's no need for any of the other bs. It's all personality and preferences.

No, OP. There are two sexes. Simple. Socially, there are unlimited presentations. Simple.

This question to me is like asking
So, when we've labelled everybody into Was-Abducted-By-Aliens and Was-Not-Abducted-By-Aliens, should we create a third category of Does-Not-Watch-X-Files? Or is it enough just to write the first two categories into law and organise public changing rooms and boardroom quotas accordingly, do you think?

The urge to label every possible nuance of gender/ sexuality/uponeselfness is a significant factor in how we got into this mess in the first place. Most of it tells me far more than I care to know anyway.
So I would welcome fewer terms being used, not more.

Woman is fine, thank you.

And as soon as women are split between the trans and cis umberellas it becomes very difficult to discuss things which are directly related to the female biology, such as sex discrimination or the need to ensure that new medicines are tested on females as well as males

Non binary means "ungendered" though, but that comes under trans too. If you think you aren't trans they will label you cis. And in using "ungendered" you're kind of implying the something non binary does, that you are different in your feelings about gender to the normal person.

I completely agree that woman is the best word and I need no other. This very aggressive campaign to force new language and therefore new definitions as normal onto the general public is extremely political and coercive and I completely reject it.

Of course they are using propaganda on the young by teaching it in schoools and universities as the new orthodoxy and persuading teachers and lecturers who teach what language means to accept this ideology too!

We need to completely reject their new language and definitions. Resist!

We have three terms
woman, man, trans (if they feel the need to label themselves as different)

That should read “ the term” not “ the the”, obviously m!
