More frequently now because men (wearing a wig and a skirt, or not) are invading women's toilets for kicks, more like.

I was referring to women being assaulted and harassed by other women for not looking girly enough.

What? It's used to describe anyone who's gender is the same as their sex. It comes from latin meaning 'on this side of' or something.

So how do you describe anyone who doesn't precisely fit all of the Barbie/GI Joe (delete as applicable) stereotypes?

Or are we all "non-binary" and is green hair dye optional?

Yep that's exactly what it means! Your gender is on the 'same side' of your sex. Not saying you need to like it as a term, but it's just supposed to be a descriptor, not an insult.

But as others asked, what’s gender? I don’t have a gender as far as I’m aware and I don’t think I’m trans so what does that make me? Just a woman I’m guessing?

Pocodaku · 30/10/2022 00:38

Monty lies. Outrageously, and repeatedly. If a female got mis-sexed and harassed, I feel sorry for her. It still doesn’t mean fully intact AGP males with a fetish for cosplaying as women belong in women’s loos. (I don’t mean the old school transsexuals, who went through a lot of pain, got the chop, and tried their best to pass and just lead their own lives).

How can you be ‘on the side of’ the thing you are?

Cis woman - a woman who is a woman?

So are nonbinary people cis, because they're not trans.

VinoDino · 30/10/2022 00:37

I'm not trans and I'm not cis. I am a women. Not a subset.

Over7billiongendersbut2sexes · 30/10/2022 00:33

So a very tiny percentage of the population then? So why is any woman who is not trying to pass as a man assumed to be cis?

Show quote history

I'm confused by your question? I'm saying 'cis' is a term used to describe people who are not trans. Presumably OP used it to clear up that the lady wasn't shouting at someone for being in the wrong bathroom.

I very much doubt that the woman who has been made to feel unsafe in the formerly protected women's spaces considers herself cis and it is a literal act of aggression to misgender someone by calling them cis if they have not self-identified as such.

So fucked up to feel vindicated to not confirm you're a biological woman (in the factual not IW sense) when a woman is obviously traumatised by the loss of female protected spaces. What a show of entitlement.

Pixiedust1234 · 30/10/2022 00:31

whats gender?

Thehawki · 30/10/2022 00:30

ItsLateHumpty · 30/10/2022 00:26

It seems to be liked by transwomen who don’t like being called transwomen so now they’re ciswomen (still male tho, what ever the self ID label).

So not so much a ‘we’ using it, but if males want more levels to unlock to describe how feminine they present maybe it makes the LARPing more meaningful / fun / competitive?

Yep this happens. More frequently now though because womens toilets obsessed fascists like KJK have emboldened some of their usually middle aged GC followers to harass and confront anyone who isn’t adhering to feminine stereotypes and performing woman correctly.

Truth is you can’t tell with 100% certainty what sex a person is just by looking at them.

I thought the victim handled it really well

Are we still using the fucking useless term 'cis'?' Christ.

We are not.

Pixiedust1234 · 30/10/2022 00:29

There is no hate. But sometimes things are smoke and mirrors and its difficult to find the truth. Peter and the wolf might be a good lesson to learn for a lot of people.

IcakethereforeIam · 30/10/2022 00:28

Must have been unpleasant and embarrassing for the mis identified woman. Not clicking on the link, apparently her accuser sounded deranged. So it was probably quite frightening too.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to prove. Men shouldn't be in women's single sex spaces. This woman was exactly where she was supposed to be.

Sorry marge, I'm not clicking on any of your links. You have shown that you will grab anything off the Internet to "prove" stuff. Different rallies, different years .

Still waiting on you to answer my numerous clarification questions across various threads and still nothing.

Whats cis? Is it a legal term?

Smilelesstalkmore · 30/10/2022 00:15

I don't get your point though?

Are you saying that women should just let men into their spaces willy nilly to stop things like this from happening?

It's a bit like the (questionable) stories about female athletes having to have 'genital checks' to check who is male and who is female - lots of TRAs up in arms about how terrible that is, but rather conveniently missing the glaringly obvious point that if males stayed the fuck away from women's sports there would be no need to be checking anyone for anything.
