At work today, having and diversity chat and I got called a cis woman. Thanks to mumsnet I said ‘I reject that term, don’t mis-gender me’. Went down like a lead balloon especially when I followed up with ‘I’m not a sub-set of women, I am a woman, an adult female human’.
Thanks for giving me the confidence to hold my ground.

Frowned upon? So they assumed your gender and then got hostile with pulled up on it? My goodness me, complaint to Human Resources PRONTO!

Thanks! I feel proud of myself but it was very obviously frowned upon!

I absolutely hate the whole "cis" thing

It erases my identity as a woman and I will not tolerate it

Good for you for standing up for yourself!
